Galaxy Nexus Advice · DIGIT-ARC

C

Good Morning all.
I Am in the process of ordering Samsung Galaxy Nexus via a relative. I Need some advice on it.
Firstly,
Will the Device work in India, Since Nexus isn't being sold here ?
I Came to know that the Nexus doesn't have expandable memory, is it true ?
How is the battery life of the device ?
Is it worth getting this time, considering that Google will Release a new Nexus in November like every year. And what about the Jelly Bean Update. When can i receive it. ?
Yes there a many question, thank you for responding.

This will be my first smartphone, coming from a Nokia E-72

Cheers

yes, the device will work in India.
yes, it doesn't have expandable memory.

Battery life isn't anything to talk about.
Jelly Bean update? It has already received.

Overall - it is the Android device to get imo.

This device is for people who flash custom roms and all a lot. Otherwise you can get something else..

Galaxy Nexus is an awesome device. If your relative can get one, I can buy it from you if you don't want the phone.

Go for it. My brother purchased it yesterday for 25K in Dadar (Mumbai). AMAZING DEVICE.

You are wrong. Every android device can be flashed with custom ROM or you use it as it is. You have a choice. If he gets something else , OP will be doomed with NO updates

How is Jelly Bean on it?

Jellbean's blog review and user reviews are soooooo good.

I myself wanted this device since it is getting quick updates and raw android.

U ll not regret, Go for it.

Am also in the process of ordering this .... but my only worry is what happens in case of a hardware fault? samsung will not help, are there third parties that could?

I had specifically emailed samsung about this and they have refused. otherwise i would have purchased this long ago. strict no-no if you ask me.

I guess that leaves me with just the Galaxy S2.... and if by some miracle the prices drop in the US, the galaxy S3

how about galaxy s2 i727 skyrocket !! ?

bigger screen, better processor,HDMI connectivity.. in ebay they are selling @

Nexus was also my choice earlier.. most vendors in ebay provide Serve Pro Warranty (3rd Party service center) but what made me look away from Nexus is the very short 3hrs battery life when browsing over wifi Samsung Galaxy Nexus battery life fully tested, results come out disappointing [TEST] - GSMArena Blog
