Babies don’t like 4G outages any more than adult Verizon customers. At least that’s my recent experience with my son, who does a pretty good job of expressing his feelings toward Verizon when 4G disappears for no apparent reason. People have every right to be upset when Verizon as its 4G LTE service has gone [...]
Samsung has yet to divulge any official details in regards to a U.S. launch of its Landscape Dock with 3-pin connector for the Galaxy Nexus but it appears that it may go on sale soon.

Every month, we share what we think are the five best Android smartphones that are currently on shelves here in the United States and February is going to be no different.

While the Galaxy Nexus is currently only offered in the U.S. through Verizon Wireless as a 4G LTE smartphone with 32 GB of non-user expandable memory, international GSM buyers of the pentaband HSPA+ smartphone have a choice of 16 GB or 32 GB of on-board non-user expandable memory. It looks like Samsung is now having [...]
If this is your first time here, let me bring you up to speed real quick. I have been a proud owner of an iPhone 3GS since it launched back in 1895, or was it 2009, I can’t remember. In the months preceding the iPhone 4S and iOS 5 announcements, I was debating making a [...]
I have been itching for Swype on my Galaxy Nexus since the launch. Unfortunately it wouldn’t work on the Galaxy Nexus or ICS for that matter. I went through a lot trying to get my fix. I have become addicted to this input style and had to have something. I shared with you all several [...]
The Samsung Galaxy Nexus is one of the best phones on the market today, and the only real choice for phone shoppers who want Android 4.0 right out of the box.

Back in the early part of January, we showed you a white Samsung Galaxy Nexus that was apparently, at least according to retailers, going to be headed across the pond to the United Kingdom.

Prior to its release on Verizon back in December, there had been talk of a Samsung Galaxy Nexus launch on carriers other than Big Red.

No, the title is not a mistake. It appears that Samsung may very well be working on a new, higher-end Galaxy Nexus that could feature an upgraded processor and GPU.

Yesterday, Verizon launched the Motorola Droid RAZR MAXX which is essentially a Motorola Droid RAZR with a massive 3,300 mAh battery on board. Needless to say, it’s an intriguing phone because of the poor battery life that Verizon’s 4G LTE smartphones get. But just how much better is it? Well, LaptopMag went ahead and answered [...]
Amazon has apparently gone bonkers. And luckily, we’re just fine with that.

It would appear that some Samsung Galaxy Nexus owners are experiencing something that’s arguably more frustrating then the phone’s sub-par battery life.

Most [...]
At CES 2012, Sprint had announced the Galaxy Nexus, a 4G LTE phone, as part of its Network Vision strategy. Though Sprint had allowed us to see the Galaxy Nexus in person, the device was well-guarded and Now Network did not allow us to film or capture many images of the device as the hardware [...]
As I head to CES 2012, I want to share the gear and gadgets that I am taking on the trip. CES is a major event that pushes gear and connectivity to the limits. While I won’t carry all of this gear to the show floor every day, I have stuffed it all into a [...]

Besides better battery life, one of the last things that a lot of Samsung Galaxy Nexus owners on Verizon have been waiting for is the official NFL Mobile app. Up until today, the application did not support Google’s Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system which meant that Galaxy Nexus owners could not use it.

![My Custom Galaxy Nexus Setup [How To]](http://cdn.gottabemobile.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/step3-150x150.png)
