I found out today that those Oakley microfiber pouches make a perfect Galaxy Nexus bag so I can throw my phone in my backpack on my rides into work. The last GC I bought had 3 of them in the glove box.

After setting two alarms this morning and apparently pushing snooze too quickly, I confused my GNX which forced me to turn it off while the alarm was going off at full blast. Girlfriend was quite unamused.

Wait. So you are justifying that they omitted the card slot because you believe SD cards are outdated? Now I have to ask if you are high. The reality of it is, Google doesn't feel like fixing their OS to play well with SD cards so they omit the SD card reader on their reference designs. This was not something I was aware of until after I bought the phone. I'm sure I will love the phone, but it would be nice to be able to continue to backup my phone to an SD card. The option for me to do that has been removed and when manufacturers remove options from their devices, it is never a good thing.

I am with AOD on this, not having a SD card is retarded, another reason is flashing ROMs. Let's say you screw up and your phone doesn't boot past recovery, with a SD card you put the rom on the sd card and flash from recovery but with no external sd card you're ****ed.
Also skywaffles, why are you such a miserable bitch, no **** lately? Stop arguing for the sake of arguing |

Also: I miss USB storage mode. I can live without it, however it HAS reduced SOME of the utility of my phone. Furthermore: There are pro's and con's to everything. The fact that the GNex has no SD card was not a secret so if you bought the phone and were then surprised that it has no SD card that's YOUR OWN DAMN FAULT. |

I'm with aod on this one. The lack of SD card slot is annoying. You can say "the cloud is the future" all you want, but even for a relatively tech savvy person like myself, the easiest way for me to get all my music onto my new phone is to take my SD card out of my current phone and slap it in the new phone.

I agree with you there. I think I alluded to it in my first post about my issue with it. I incorrectly assumed it would have an SD card slot and then was surprised when I found out it didn't (after I ordered it). If I had known about this limitation beforehand, I may have considered holding off and waiting for the SG II HD or SG III, but probably not. I really want to get off AT&T's slow ass network and Verizon just recently rolled their LTE network out here. So, I get onto their faster network and get a bigger screen with better resolution? Take my money!

Who needs multiple sd cards? Especially with 16gb and 32gb cards so common. I was kind of bummed at first too about not having an sd card on my Galaxy Nexus, but it's a complete non-issue. If you brick your phone to the point that it doesn't boot, an sd card isn't going to save you anyway; grab a factory image and flash it. You can still plug your phone in and copy files to/from the "sd card" just like you would have before. The only time you'll ever lose that data is when you unlock it or intentionally wipe it (or something more terrible happens to the phone). |

That looks awesome, but if you're partial to a specific headphone/ear bud I would test fit it if you find one.

Also: Don't be obtuse. Yes SD cards are nice in their own way but not having one is hardly a obvious disadvantage without any advantages. |
