Thanks Jeff, that is a great suggestion. I've heard that the Rezound is just as easy to Root and mod
It isnt. The Galaxy Nexus is definitely better for that. HTC does allow you to unlock it, and it can be rooted, but it will never be as easy on the Rezound as it is on the Nexus. HTC has demonstrated that they will still try to prevent rooting even if you are unlocked. The OTA update unrooted me and I cannot re-root using the same method (though there is already another method of doing it...so it is really just an inconvenience).
The fact that the Nexus has NFC seems like a plus. I don't use it right now, but if I did I don't know how much I'd use it.
I doubt I would use it, but if I had a choice, I'd rather have it.
SD card. I have 16Gb with my Droid and I have around 8 free so would I really use that much? Don't know. I stream alot
I have hard that argument a lot. But here is the thing:
1) Streaming will depend on access to the internet. Verizon's 4G has already gone down twice since I have had my phone, and both times for around a day. The Cloud is far from 100% reliable. Local media is always 100% reliable.
2) That data will stack up, and even if you have unlimited data now, that might not always be the case.
3) The galaxy nexus is known to have radio issues...so even if the network is working perfectly, that does not mean you will have access to it (or fast access if you have access at all).
4) Moving stuff is much easier on SD. Transferring 32 gigs of stuff to and from your phone is NOT fast. Taking an SD card out of one phone and putting it in another IS fast.
5) The prices you see are for the 16 gig version...the 32 gig Nexus is going to cost you more.
I have never really been a fan of streaming. All the times I have used it, it has seemed clumsier and slower than just using local media. I do use it, but only as a backup.
I don't care about the quality difference of the camera as long as its better than my D1. Which from what I've seen they all are.
The Droid 1 had an awesome camera. In bright light I would say it is comparable to modern phones. Its main weakness was low light. The Rezound is better in low light than the Galaxy Nexus. But even in bright light the Rezound takes better pictures IMO. And it is also higher resolution (on both the front and back cameras).
