Samsung Galaxy Nexus - Rumor

The-MMMs

So i've been considering this phone for quite sometime, along with the galaxy note, and i finally made my decision that this will be the replacement for my shoddy Xperia X10 (good phone served me well)

Anyway, i went to this store and asked about both phones, he told me that the Galaxy Nexus has a "defo" and that it automatically hangs up upon dialing or recieveing calls from "78" and "76" the new number extension we have now

Although its highly unlikely anyone would willingly do this, but to anyone who has a galaxy nexus, and doesn't mind testing this could you PLEASE confirm this is a rumor

I don't trust this guy, nor anyone else who just "said" it without proving, im willing to take the word of a fellow geek who i don't even know really since there is nothing for you to gain nor loose

I think people are just saying this to lure me to the higher price of the Note ?

Please if anyone can confirm this? Has anyone else heard of this rumor ?

Sorry for all the questions, im so picky about any of my purchases since its so hard to find and make the money to buy all these things. Thanks ! :D

i have a galaxy nexus, since i don't know anyone with 78 or 76 number i did try calling random numbers. the phone did not hang up, but played the message that i have to put 03 before the number i am trying to call probably because these numbers are not yet in service

Thank you for your reply

I guess i can call BS on this; so it seems the case

Despite so, im too psyched about this phone to just drop it, it sounds completely absurd if you ask me. First time i heard this it really gave me a big "wtf" expression

Thank you for your time !

I am planning on buying this phone and i just wanted to ask you if it heats up alot when in use or is that just a rumor too? I think it is an amazing phone and i also want to ask if you got the jellybean ota?

what a stupid "defect", to be honest all those phone stores, none of them have a clue about phones at all, even if it had any problems, nothing a software update can't fix

the phone doesn't not heat up or anything unless you are playing 3D intense game in this case the phone will get slightly warmer, which is the case in all smartphones. even then it doesn't get uncomfortable to use or anything.

The-MMMs

Just saw the replies, thanks guys; im waiting for my pay check and the firs thing im doing is getting it.

Also does anyone know where i can purchase either the extended battery pack or even just another battery pack as well ?

Thanks guys.

it's already available unofficially but will require you to root your phone.

Flash the CM9 Nightly for maguro ... best ROM i've tried yet

Also, I would advise you to wait a couple of months, the new iphone and the new nexus's (rumored to be one for each manufacturer) come out

I doubt the new nexus's would be worth it or affordable it and no way iphone.

I'm sure the price then is not gonna be much different than the price now ... and i'm sure the upgrades for the camera alone are worth it. I like my nexus however the camera is disastrous for such a high end device... also battery life is terrible even for smartphone standards. So yea I'm sure it's worth the wait...

Also why is it "no way iPhone" ? I had an iPhone 4 and I have nothing but good things to say about it...

The price of the iphone would alone be very high and the new nexus devices will enter the market at which is to much for me.
