[HoopinChillKicks]

@marquesbrownlee are those hours with 4g off? using 3g instead? or internet off all together? thank you!

[KingAznInvazn19]

Hey is the battery life as bad as people say it is? How many hours do you get? And what kind of a user are you (constant, moderate,etc)? Thanks . Nice vid!

[marquesbrownlee]

@KingAznInvazn19 I get 30 hours of medium use and on weekends I get about a full day out of a single charge.

[TheLive310]

i have a question that i really need you to answer the question when i buy this phone will there be any diference if i put the sim card in and start using and will there be any difference if they the store sets up the phone with the sim card please reply back

[marquesbrownlee]

@TheLive310 You need to get the GSM version for the SIM card to work.

[iMADEjojobeanUP]

[demonshadowfication]

i think the star of the show is the wall charger, who cares about the galaxy nexus??

JK i wish i havesss

[timhellmich]

Why don't you like iPhone's that much

[marquesbrownlee]

@timhellmich Meh. Missing features. Boring UI.

[isaaclimyj]

What lens are you using to record this video ?

[marquesbrownlee]

@isaaclimyj Sigma 30mm f/1.4

[coddude196]

Gahhh stupid iPad. Anyway, the next iPhone better be good to keep me from buying this sexy Machine

[marquesbrownlee]

@coddude196 You'll be waiting a while but hopefully it's worth the way lol

[coddude196]

Whoops stu

[coddude196]

The next I

[techuniverse1]

Have you used WidgetLocker?

[marquesbrownlee]

@techuniverse1 Yep I have.

[RayRay3634]

So can you do a video on how to save battery on phones like the razr and nexus

[marquesbrownlee]

@RayRay3634 I have plans to!

[RayRay3634]

I'm also on Verizon and got the Droid razr and i'm wondering why don't you get it and can you talk about cool accessories features apps and do on thanks

[marquesbrownlee]

@RayRay3634 I didn't get the RAZR because I love stock Android!

I did a video about the "Best Galaxy Nexus accessories!" - search it up!

I also did a video called "Tour of my Nexus" that details featured apps, etc. search it up!

[101tech4you]

I can't decide Galaxy Nexus or Galaxy note

[marquesbrownlee]

@101tech4you Nexus for stock Android and upgrade to newest versions of Android!

[101tech4you]

@marquesbrownlee Galaxy Nexus it is!

ps loved the live show with wt1 and geekandrew and all your other videos.

[Dwayne1969ful]

I was playing wit one at the Verizon store an noticed screen burn is that a problem with that device

[marquesbrownlee]

@Dwayne1969ful So far it hasn't been. In-store devices have their screens on 24/7 so that might be a problem with those units.

[Missa1216]

@Dwayne1969ful 

[jennlim0609]

the phone is so pretty *drools*

[marquesbrownlee]

@jennlim0609 Agreed!

[zMJayyy]

Stood making videos phonedog is where it is

[fatedead505]

Alright thank you, if there's spelling errors it's because I'm on my old Droid Incredible and there is no reply button=( thanks! I'll go look at them right now.

[fatedead505]

Could you tell me some good pros and cons?

[marquesbrownlee]

@fatedead505 Watch my other videos on the Nexus.

[fatedead505]

Thank you! + already has 4.0 unlike most smartphones that will have to wait for another month-two.

[marquesbrownlee]

@fatedead505 Exactly.

[fatedead505]

Should I get this or the rezound?

[marquesbrownlee]

@fatedead505 Do you like stock Android? THIS!

[NaquaFutureSoldier]

You like your women naked?

[marquesbrownlee]

@NaquaFutureSoldier .... mhm

[NaquaFutureSoldier]

@marquesbrownlee Dirty guuuy... :D

[notwhales]

You like your women with a screen protector?

[marquesbrownlee]

@notwhales *facepalm

[timhellmich]

Ur really good at responding to your viewers

[marquesbrownlee]

@timhellmich It's what I do!

[timhellmich]

Do ur thoughts on iPhones

[marquesbrownlee]

@timhellmich I may soon. Thanks for the suggestion :]

[Kesselrocks81]

@marquesbrowniee lol yes

[Kesselrocks81]

Haha I like that "I like my phone how I like my women" that's good

[marquesbrownlee]

@Kesselrocks81 Brilliant, right? XD

[Born222kill]

Hey how did you set up the apps sync with your gmail @ 4:20 ? I would really like to know as I'm getting an android device with in the next couple of weeks.

[marquesbrownlee]

@Born222kill They're backed up to Google automatically. Just sign in on the new device.

[Reaves1994]

Im sorry im not a racist but you sound like a white guy so it's kind of weird seeing black hands in the video. No offence and again im not racist. XD nice vid

[marquesbrownlee]

@Reaves1994 None taken.

[ShyGirLovesTecH]

@marquesbrownlee I love how you handled that. not only do you have amazing videos you are also obviously mature and intelligent. Inspiration..yes you are. I want to start making videos one day and people like you are great to look up to. Thanks!

[unicyclematt]

@Reaves1994

You may not mean to be offensive but that comment was clearly racist. An accent has nothing to do with your skin colour. It's to do with where you come from. There are black people all around the world.

I'm not saying you meant to offend, but what you said was racist.

[davidajmartinez]

I don't always use headphones with my phone, but when I do, I'm listening to music. Stay musical my friends.

[marquesbrownlee]

@davidajmartinez Yesss!

[volleyball22BigT]

holyy shitt!!

[marquesbrownlee]

@volleyball22BigT What? lol

[poochie2ta]

From my experience the initial upgrade is actually the dalvik cache being populated. Clearing it will do the same and show the current progress. Keep up the good work!

[marquesbrownlee]

@poochie2ta Thanks!

[gazzafitz9]

You like your phone how you like your women eh... So smart and does everything you want?

[marquesbrownlee]

@gazzafitz9 That's one way of looking at it lol

[Tommy13Boi]

@Missa1216 no offense but wat about the droid razr is so nice to u.........i actually want to know

[Missa1216]

How does the face unlock work? Deciding between this and the droid razr.

[marquesbrownlee]

@Missa1216 You hold up the phone to your face and the front facing camera does the rest. Check out my first impressions video to see it in action.

[Tommy13Boi]

Im deciding on this or the rezound what do u think i shud get please respond

[marquesbrownlee]

@Tommy13Boi I can definitely recommend the Galaxy Nexus with 100% confidence!

[DaPoePoe1]

Lol you act like it is your girlfriend! :)

[marquesbrownlee]

@DaPoePoe1 It might be. lol

[ENMAnumber1]

should i get this?

[marquesbrownlee]

@ENMAnumber1 I'd say yes ;-)

[spikeman23]

@marquesbrownlee- So far i'm loving mine. Watching movies on this thing is just ridiculous. Having the whole screen real estate really does make a difference

[samueljakeoneill]

It is so nice to have a technology reviewer who is so genuinely passionate about the devices they are testing. It always make the videos more enjoyable and re-watchable, well done Marques - good work.

[marquesbrownlee]

@samueljakeoneill Thanks man! I appreciate it.

[samueljakeoneill]

@marquesbrownlee No problem buddy, you deserve it :)

[icecoll1]

i have the same headphones on my galaxy s

[marquesbrownlee]

@icecoll1 Yeah turns out it's a Samsung thing.

[spikeman23]

Got mine coming in today. Switching from the iPhone 4s. Just didn't care for it

[marquesbrownlee]

@spikeman23 Awesome choice! :D

[manrajdhanda]

How did it already know ur gmail account?

[marquesbrownlee]

@manrajdhanda It was previously activated :]

[MOBxter69]

Great review/Voice

[marquesbrownlee]

@MOBxter69 Haha thanks :]

[marquesbrownlee]

@cassinidivisionencke Same here! It's Google's baby :D

[josecarlogo328]

you are using a screen protector for your woman? haha :)

[marquesbrownlee]

@josecarlogo328 Yep every woman deserves a screen protecter lol

[josecarlogo328]

@marquesbrownlee I wish you could sponsor a giveaway for your Epic fans

[marquesbrownlee]

@josecarlogo328 I am sponsoring one RIGHT now! It ends on New Year's. Look for it! :D

[josecarlogo328]

@marquesbrownlee Oh thank you :)) I wasn't expecting that

[connormcfaRland]

make a room tour vid!

[marquesbrownlee]

@connormcfaRland It's on my list for the "tour of" series :D

[rockethot]

Lucky! I wish this was out for Sprint. I got tired of dealing with My GS2 caved and got an Iphone 4s lol

[marquesbrownlee]

@rockethot It may be coming soon!

[rockethot]

@marquesbrownlee Sure hope so. How's the battery life?I've had the 4s for the past few days and battery life is pretty amazing, puts my GS2 to shame even with CM7.

[marquesbrownlee]

@rockethot It's been so far so good! More info on that in the full review.

[rockethot]

@marquesbrownlee Awesome, I'll be looking forward to it!

[techfreak47]

For me.. unboxings are never boring ;) !! even after watching tons of different videos of the same product xP !! BTW.. the European box looks much better !!

[marquesbrownlee]

@techfreak47 I love the GSM box.

[ZakkAndDimebag4Life]

Great Video!!! But How Do You Stop Gmail From Uploading The Apps From A Previous Phone?

[marquesbrownlee]

@ZakkAndDimebag4Life Thanks! Just by not signing in.

[ZakkAndDimebag4Life]

@marquesbrownlee Obviously Lol But On My Last Phone, (MOTO DROID) I Just Downloaded Any App That I Found "Useful" And My Knowledge Of Software & Etc. Has Expanded, Is There Anyway I Can Delete Them From My Account?

[marquesbrownlee]

@ZakkAndDimebag4Life Yep through the web version of the Android market.

[TechTubeMedia]

Ahaa, congrats!

But hold on a sec, how was it able to pull up your gmail account and get all those apps?! Don't you have to sign in or something along those lines?

Regardless, great investment! My Atrix looks like it's being dwarfed by the beauty of the Nexus!

[marquesbrownlee]

@TechTubeMedia Thanks! Yeah Verizon does the honors and activates it in the store before handing you the box lol

[Briengerber1]

tell us about the battery life! Heard poor things about it unfortunetly :(

[marquesbrownlee]

@Briengerber1 Day 1 of heavy usage I got 10 hours. Not bad for an LTE monster if you ask me! More coming in videos =]

[angelvsdevil96]

i want to see everything about this phone..:)

[marquesbrownlee]

@angelvsdevil96 Sounds like a plan! XD

[wtpanos]

I can't wait to get this phone. Ordered from amazon for 150, won't get it till dec 30, such a long time to wait :D

[marquesbrownlee]

@wtpanos You got a great deal! Should've gotten overnight shipping lol ;-)

[wtpanos]

@marquesbrownlee they were backordered that is why :(

[titanicdbog]

@wtpanos I ordered mine on amazon as well. but for full retail. mine says the estimated delivery is December 30th too. but today it switched to shipping soon :)

[wtpanos]

@titanicdbog Same here! mine now says shipping soon! Hopefully amazon just did that as a safety measure and maybe they have more then they thought!! Crossing my fingers and hoping for my nexus before christmas!

[wtpanos]

@titanicdbog mine is showing a ship date of Dec 27 with arrival of Dec 29. I might not have it now but saving $150 and getting it by new years is a win in my book.

[wtpanos]

@titanicdbog mine just shipped, you should check yours maybe it did too!!

[100Hacks]

Cool

[marquesbrownlee]

@100Hacks Thanks!

[Magicman10111213]

Nice

[marquesbrownlee]

@Magicman10111213 Thanks =]

[cris178Zune]

cool phone man. ill just wait for the lumia 800 though.

[marquesbrownlee]

@cris178Zune Thanks. Yeah the Lumnia 800 is beauuufitul!

[JMooky97]

How come the battery life when you first booted is so low?

[marquesbrownlee]

@JMooky97 It was never charged so I'm guessing Verizon just charged very battery to 40% before shipping them to stores.

[JMooky97]

@marquesbrownlee That's pretty cheap :)

[JMooky97]

FINALLY!!! THANKS MAN!!



[marquesbrownlee]

@JMooky97 You are very welcome :]

[TheJasperkitty]

Hey, which iPhone is that?

[marquesbrownlee]

@TheJasperkitty trolololololol

[glennxavier38]

Hey, the headphones come with galaxy series phones...

[marquesbrownlee]

@glennxavier38 Yeah I looked back. It's a Samsung thing. =]

[brownxtravis]

your woman?

[marquesbrownlee]

@brownxtravis ... Use your imagination. lol

[RgZspotA]

baller ass phone dude.. I'm also looking to upgrade.

[marquesbrownlee]

@RgZspotA Thanks mate! Yeah it's a suck upgrade from just about any phone out there in the US right now.

[zzxxccvvbbnnmmist]

Unboxings are so awesome!

Thanks for sharing the thrill of getting a new product with us.

Peace indeed.

:)

[marquesbrownlee]

@zzxxccvvbbnnmmist You are very welcome! :]

[TheMMray]

My bad I was typing that on the Original Moto Droid and well... It dided while in the middle of typing. I was asking if you could please show the Youtube app and any other apps that may of had a change from gingerbread to ICS. Thank You

[marquesbrownlee]

@TheMMray Yeah I'll definitely compare Gingerbread to Honeycomb to ICS =]

[TheMMray]

Could you please show

[marquesbrownlee]

@TheMMray Show what? Haha

[isaaclimyj]

Congratulations ! 

[marquesbrownlee]

@isaaclimyj Thank ya!

[lmrojas1990]

I thought samsung said that their users dont wait in line :P

[marquesbrownlee]

@lmrojas1990 They were wrong about this one. Haha

[StrokedGT]

so cool seeing that the crt lock screen was left intact, love that. im jealous!

[marquesbrownlee]

@StrokedGT Haha thanks =]

[myth90045]

I see you have launcher pro. Are you going to use that or keep stock ics? I get mine tomorrow and idk what to do. I'm leaning towards the stock ui

[marquesbrownlee]

@myth90045 I uninstalled it after the video. I love the stock ICS launcher! Enjoy it!

[GadourKy]

hows the battery life?

[marquesbrownlee]

@GadourKy So far it's been decent. I've only had it for a day so I will need some time to figure it out.

[spikeman23]

@ Mota411 - They aren't just phones. And the nexus , Along with some other android devices are basically pocket computers. You can connect a mouse to the nexus. If it were just " a phone" you couldn't do that.

[MasterX506]

So jealous. Literally fucking jealous. ;_;

[marquesbrownlee]

@MasterX506 Don't be! Haha you can experience it with me through video :D

[Vinics59]

Thumbs up if you also like your phone like you like your woman

[marquesbrownlee]

@Vinics59 Hahahaha you know it's true!

[marquesbrownlee]

@haiti1800 It takes time! Haha

[ulukita]

The exact headphones came with the Nexus S and and the Nexus S 4G. Pretty decent sounding imo.

[marquesbrownlee]

@ulukita Yeah turns out it's a Samsung thing. They're not bad!

[xwowsersx]

Cool vid, but why the hell did you not remove the damn cover? Super annoying!

[marquesbrownlee]

@xwowsersx The first thing I do when I remove the cover is put a screen shield on it. Check out the first impressions video. The cover is gone! =]

[lenoat702]

Woman-Singular

[marquesbrownlee]

@lenoat702 You sure 'bout that? ;-)

[zsmith20]

hows the battery life?

[marquesbrownlee]

@zsmith20 So far so good. More info will be in the review!

[mota411]

I wanna see it come to sprint!

[marquesbrownlee]

@mota411 I know about 4 people who are waiting for the same thing! I hope they get it :D

[mota411]

It's funny how phones are getting as expensive as high end computers

[marquesbrownlee]

@mota411 Notice that the specs are also approaching laptops! 1.2GHz Dual core and 1GB of RAM ;-)

[RaphaniacZX]

@mota411 When they get so fast to the levels of the computers in so less time and they got the same or more power there's a deal over there

[TheTechMundo]

great video Marquez haha! Have fun with the Nexus!

[marquesbrownlee]

@TheTechMundo Thanks man!

[RaphaniacZX]

I came from and i1 with Android 1.5 from 2 years (you can see my desesperation...)
