The_Rev Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 That's not strictly true. Your carrier has to have a HSPA+ network, which I think only O2 and 3 have here in the UK. If you want my reasons for being excited about the Nexus 4 then just read my post history in this thread, I have stated many times why I think the Nexus line of phones is the way to go on Android, and in a years time when S3 owners are still waiting for Key Lime Pie (or whatever the next update will be) and feeling all abandoned because Samsung put out the S4, again, I will feel I made the right choice.

mykeyb Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Sorry Rev but ironically for this thread I missed out IT from the first bit. It should have read if your carrier supports IT the Nexus 4 will operate at a much faster data speed. As you rightly say only O2 and 3 currently support it at this point, not sure if Tesco & Giffgaff will also support it as they piggyback of the O2 network. It will be interesting to get some real life figures from Nexus 4 owners to see how the 2 networks compare speed wise. Totally agree with you on the update front, S2 owners got shafted by Samsung and in the same way S3 owners will too. Has the S3 had the 4.2 update yet?

Ingram85 Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 8gb nexus 4 is now 'sold out' and the 16gb version is now stating a '6 to 7 week' wait. How many do they actually have to sell? Seven? Eight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard 10. The rest have gone to CPW and o2 to sell at the inflated price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Can you use any wireless/usb keyboard and mouse combo with the nexus 10 tablet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limpid Posted December 9, 2012 Administrator Share Posted December 9, 2012 Can you use any wireless/usb keyboard and mouse combo with the nexus 10 tablet? I can't imagine why not. You'll have the usual issues with things like the escape key though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 So if I get a keyboard, mouse and a desktop stand for the tablet, as I only need to browse, organise music/book/films etc... and use google docs to write stuff, in effect ive got myself a mini pc right?

leviramsey Posted December 10, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted December 10, 2012 Finally got around to tracking down a Windows PC and fighting with Kies to install my ICS update. Now to root this ****, since that's almost certainly the end of updates from Samsung for this phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

limpid Posted December 13, 2012 Administrator Share Posted December 13, 2012 Flashed my Xoom to EOS 4.2 tonight. And then ran out of time to do anything with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Should my HTC One X have been updated to 4.1 by now? Phone is unlocked and I'm on Vodafone if it helps. I got it via a slightly unusual route as it was a replacement from HTC after they f**ked up several repairs on my One S. I thought it had been rolled out on the One X but wondering whether this phone, from their repair centre (although they tell me it is brand new) might not get the update.

Ingram85 Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Im just wondering when the Nexus 10 will ever be in stock again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykeyb Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 I wonder if Google will look at moving the Nexus announcement back next year to give themselves more time to get the handsets/tablets out for Xmas...... I see Three can now sell the Nexus 4 but bloody hell they are taking the piss with the contract ...£35 a month over two years (which of course is the most expensive tariff they offer. £25 a month sim only), plus a £29 one-off fee for the phone. £869.00 in total so they are pretty much just adding the cost of the phone onto the contract - no subsidy at all.

mykeyb Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Have to say the HTC Droid DNA / J Butterfly is a stunning looking phone - I could be tempted if it came out in the UK at a reasonable cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's face it, that's the real reason they are unavailable..... They have to support sales on O2 and 3 because they've given then exclusivity. Knocking them out SIM free undermining their supply partner doesn't help them at all. Coincidence that this supply problem hasn't blighted the Nexus 7? No network providers to appease.....

Plus isn't the nexus 7 now 3G enabled? So I don't think provider exclusivity has much to do with it really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eames Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 1st post from my brand new Nexus7. All I can say is WOW. Shits on Mrs E's iPad2 from such a massive height. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
