now that we know it possible (thanks moto), if a phone comes out and it's under 2000mah, your not trying hard enough

If you look at the teardown of the Maxx, the battery is pretty hefty...

But the phone itself still feels slim, so that's not really important. I don't think anyone really needs a 3800mAh battery for a phone. Even with modern smartphone battery consumption, it still sounds excessive.

Does the battery add extra bulk to the Nexus? The article doesn't mention the size of the battery.

I would love to have a 3800mAh battery. I don't like worrying about whether or not my phone is going to die in the middle of work, because then I will have nothing to do...

That too, is there any appeal to the Nexus other than stock ICS? If it had gingerbread would there be any fuss over it or would it be just another phone? I think when the ICS rollouts start the Nexus will begin to pale.

IMO the biggest appeal of the Nexus is that it's a Google phone. That means that it has massive support for customizations in terms of ROMs, kernels, themes, etc. More support means faster updates and better features.

Oh gallito, you're so silly. But anyway, the Nexus was nice mainly because of ICS, which is actually a really big deal. Sure, it didn't have quad cores, but it was still top of the line, and ICS changed the phone quite a bit. Also, it was the first(?), maybe second, phone to feature a 720p resolution, which is very nice. It's a great phone, but just like any phone, it is outdated within a few months.
