I want to see some (or a lot of?) chat history offline, and then send msgs while offline. I don't want it to scan the network, delay loads, or blow up in any way just because the network is down. Think about the Whatsapp or Telegram experience, as opposed to Slack or Facebook Messenger. If you are in and out of the subway, or in elevators, or just where there are spotty networks, the mobile experience blows for anything but the super popular and consumery chat services.

Unlike the people who can't figure out why this is better than IRC, I find a ton of value in your project. After leaving Campfire, moving to Kato, and then settling with Slack, I am really unhappy with the Slack mobile experience.

I love that they are getting bigger. I had a big issue with the Galaxy Note vs Galaxy Nexus. The Note's 5"+ screen sold me, but the button configuration was last generation (android 2.x), and no ICS, and not the pure Google experience.

HP, ignoring the disaster that they are, really were headed down the right path. A tiny phone, a large phone, and a tablet. Over the years, you could totally see that large phone getting larger and the tiny phone getting even smaller. Great for both me and you. Too bad they went and screwed everything up.

For a plate you will remove a few times in the life of the phone, it's a strange reason for killing the deal.

I agree, it is very cheap feeling, but it also feels thin and snug because it is a useless piece of shell.

You know, ideally, it'd be paper thin, but just as effective as holding in the battery/sim.

Official? You mean you WANT a carrier to sell you a phone?

The GSM model overseas is Google-official, it's just not here now and who knows when it will be. I got mine from Expansys, it came with English everything as well as a US plug.

You need MTP stuff -- mtp-tools. The newest Amarok or Rhythmbox w/ plugin should work fine.

The Nexus unified the filesystem, and therefore cant give USB block-level access. MTP was the only way to go unless you want to have a separate partition, which leads to the terrible 'is the app on local or on sd?' situation.

Here is the situation described: http://www.electronista.com/articles/11/11/19/galaxy.nexus.f...

For mac users, you want this tool: http://www.android.com/filetransfer/

After having the Galaxy Nexus for 2 weeks, the phone no longer feels large in my hands, but the Nexus S it replaced looks ancient and pathetically tiny/low-resolution.

Google is really letting Verizon screw this up. First no Wallet, then Verizon apps on phone, and now that the LTE model is released, we find that the GSM model is cheaper to import than the Verizon LTE model is to buy without contract.

The GSM model also happens to be pentaband 3g, so it works with TMobile and AT&T in the US. I've been using mine on TMobile for 2 weeks now, bought for about $730 from Expansys.

And yes, it is awesome. Just make sure you unlock the bootloader immediately, so you dont have to wipe it later if you choose to unlock then.
