According to the report, Google will open up its Nexus program to multiple OEM partners and offer up to five launch devices for Android 5.0, which will be on sale by Thanksgiving of this year if all goes according to plan.

Verizon Galaxy Nexus users, you finally have the Android 4.0.4 OTA update coming your way. You were the first ones to own a Galaxy Nexus and experience Ice Cream Sandwich, and yet now you're one of the last to receive updates. Yup, the last update, ICL53F, was in... December of last year. I know how bitter it makes you, and I don't really have excuses on Verizon's behalf, so let's just get down to business. Note #1: First of all, the bad news - if you're not rooted or don't have a custom … [Read more...]

Our friends at Sprint sent us their recently released Samsung Galaxy Nexus, now available for $ 199 on a 2-year contract. It’s nearly identical to the existing Galaxy Nexus devices on the market, but has a couple neat advantages such as Google Wallet. For current Sprint customers and those eager to switch to Sprint, the Galaxy Nexus offers a great opportunity to get a future proof Google Experience device at the top of its class. I’ve personally got the Galaxy Nexus and love the device. … [Read more...]

The bug fixing update to Android 4.0.4 has yet to be officially pegged for release for the Verizon Galaxy Nexus, but some users seem to be seeing the update without an official peep from Verizon. At least two users have claimed to receive build IMM76K. Two unrelated reports does sound legit, but it’s still odd that these random devices are receiving the OTA. If any of you have the phone unrooted be sure to check for the update in the settings menu and let us know if it comes up. If anyone … [Read more...]

  When it comes to my Android devices, I have a tendency to treat them as if they were my babies. And not only because I would do whatever it takes to keep them safe, but I also find some kind of weird pleasure in dressing them up in various outfits to suit my mood. Whether it was my OG EVO, or my brand new Galaxy Nexus, I learned early on in my Android life that you don’t have to spend very much to keep you device looking good, and protected in style. That being said, I found that … [Read more...]
