Woz gets a Galaxy Nexus straight from Google

6. ntsiotinos posted on 18 Nov 2011, 21:52 3

Yep me too - I've just pre-ordered the Galaxy Nexus unlocked. I had to get another phone as my old HD2 finally died just a little too early for the Nexus, so as my contract was over i got a Galaxy S2 for free on a 2 year contract - guess I'll have a spare phone..... At least I'll get the "pure" Google experience....

If you want to get rid of your S2, I can buy it from you :P

tsiotinous is your SII gsm or cdma version?

easy answer is few that have an SGS2 will not get the nexus. its not about pride or phone.. its about most people dont have an extra 500 bux to throw away on what is essentially a down/side grade to get the latest version of android. nothing against the nexus, its a sexy beast, but few can afford to buy more than 1 phone every year or 2.

well ....i think a lot of ppl sell their current phones and get the new phones... so they ending up only have to pay $200-$300 for the new phone

id say its very UNcommon for people to buy another device while they are still in contract for the first. It happens yes, but maybe 1 out of 100 if that.

It might be, but remember that when people buy products while they are still under contract, they usually dont buy them at a store, but on craigslist or through a friend.

Since you work at a store, your experience might not encompass the entirety of customers experiences.

lol.. youd be surprised. very few know about craigslist. i tell people to buy there all the time when they break their phone and dont have insurance or an upgrade.

most people.. know jack about phones and where to get them..

I'm considering getting one but that 4 years old GPU present on the Galaxy Nexus and the imminence of quad-core phones coming is holding me back

I have the Samsung Galaxy S ii for Sprint and can say that I will be happy with it until Galaxy S iii comes out.

Have the s2 and was ready to update but then after comparison realised that removable memory is important to me and also once ICS is on the s2 I think it will be a better phone.

WOZ!!!! Finally realized what a real phone is supposed to be.

Too bad he doesn't realize there are superior products out there.

Pretty sure he's less ignorant than you are.

Probably something in the lines of..

\"It wasn\'t even Steve Wozniak...it was someone who looked like him...you fandroids always think you know everything... wheres your source? Iphone is the best... its the most sold phone in the world.. android steals from Apple... blah blah blah!!\"

What else do you expect from Taco50 seriously?

You guys never quit. He's a tech lover. He also waits in line at Apple stores for product launches.

Only in your twisted heads does this prove android is better.

36. remixfa posted on 19 Nov 2011, 13:49 5

no, woz doesnt prove android is better.. android proves android is better. Its just funny to see the cofounder of apple getting the red carpet treatment at google and happily taking pictures with the "competitor's" device.
Yea, how much is he worth? he probably has every phone on the market, but how many times does he stop and make it a big deal??

Have you considered he might not be an idiot fanboy like you?

If he's a tech lover and he should be open to everything, then what would you call Steve Jobs, a tech hater? considering he would go to the extent of "thermonuclear war" to get rid of Android.

And why would he have to wait in line like everybody else to get apple product? Shouldn't he be allowed to just "get one" considering he is the co founder of apple? Is that how apple treats its' staff?

33. MichaelHeller posted on 19 Nov 2011, 11:51 2

Not really. Woz has said many times that he is platform agnostic. He just loves tech. He also didn't really go out of his way. The tweet makes it sound like he was at Best Buy for something else and just decided to check on the Galaxy Nexus.
