Might help explain why it takes longer to lock, though. Oh well! Hey Google, next time you come out with a 'super phone' please include a killer camera and GLONASS! :-)

Of course it can. It's GSM, which doesn't have the problems with simultaneous voice and data over 3G, or 4G for that matter, that CDMA does.
It's not a limitation of Verizon, it's a limitation of CDMA2000, which is used by Verizon and Sprint, among others. Also, the Thunderbolt is actually immune from the voice and data over 3G issue because it has 2 3G radios in it, as well as LTE. It can do Voice and data when in 3G or 4G. It's the only phone in…
The Galaxy Nexus uses GLONASS? I hadn't ever seen confirmation that it does... I heard, from ifixit that the GPS chipset is SiRF's GSD4t. The GSD4t is GPS only and therefore cannot use Glonass...
With wifi off? Neither the CDMA one I had nor the GSM one I have are consistently fast compared to HTC phones. And sometimes GPS tracking doesn't lock me on exactly, rather a 50' margin of error. Just what I've seen on my phones, and my friend's.
I wouldn't say it works fine on my Nexus compared to my last HTC phone, the Evo. My GSM and CDMA Nexus take a bit to lock onto a GPS signal without wifi help, and sometimes get really buggy, forcing me to turn off/on my GPS to reset it.
...will the GPS work? Will it have a 3G signal (I'm looking at you CDMA Nexus)?
But I still love being able to download an MP3 from gmail and have it immediately available on any music app my phone has. #openfilesystemftw
That's called bloatware. No thanks. PS - most malware is in the form of really shady apps anyway... Have you actually downloaded any actual malware?
...and they bloody wonder why people torrent
It's ironic because your article pretty much says megapixels DO matter.
This phone, with AMOLED, stock Android and unlocked is my wet dream.
It's ironic that Android was designed with the app logo at the top on 4.0 devices taking you back, whereas the logo clicking was removed from Google's Web apps.
My Galaxy Nexus shall have to suffice. Plus, I'll get timely updates, unlike an entire OS skinned and re-programmed for e-pen duty. Sammy has a bad track record for updates as it is. This will just further the misery.
...but I like to sit down from time to time...
Still don't think the magnetic field put out by said iPhone (or any phone) speaker is going to be the same quality as a direct or even Bluetooth connection.
They should have had each person put their 'phone' in their pocket as one challange. I bet the winner would have changed.
It did, quite a bit. Not each "channel's" bandwidth holds, what, 5 digital stations?
...so instead of getting the full, correct range of the music you want to hear, you get the sound amplified from the tinny, bassless speaker on the phone? Um, no.
This 'bandwidth limitation' is further hindered by existing legacy technologies (hello 2G) hanging on to bandwidth until the provider can truly eliminate it from their network and user base. That takes years and years. Look at AT&T, releasing LTE while, at the same time, still having their EDGE network in the same…
