Is google about to mass market this nexus 6? I have seen tons of android and google now commercials the last few months. And have seen them a lot. And all over the world series. Who else thinks this phone will be mass marketed on a Samsung level?

Notice that you have seen advertising for ANDROID and GOOGLE NOW. Google is pushing their software and respective services b/c that's where they make their money. Whereas Samsung, LG, HTC and others are pushing their hardware while trying to emphasize their own software implementations. Don't get me wrong nothing would get me more hype than a giant Nexus 6 billboard but, as we've seen with past Nexi, that's not going go happen...
I see your point. I just feel with it going to all carriers and the flagship price they could really advertise. Time will tell though.

You'd think they would push it since it is being distributed to all carriers. I agree that they should push it and really get the Nexus name out there. I'm tired of being asked if my phone is a “Droid" or a “Galaxy." Let's be honest though, if Google did start advertising; they have A LOT of catching up to do!

Yep. I know the feeling. People look at me funny when I say it i have a nexus. With pride. Lol. But if anyone can catch up. It would be the billion dollar advertisement company. I sure hope they go for it. Sad when I walked into t mobile and all they want to do is sell you a Samsung. No matter how set you are on a device made for your needs. $$$$

I say they are marketing it, far more than they have ever done so before. They really REALLY seem to have something here with their current campaign and want to get it out there as much as possible (which is awesome, because I find this new campaign to be really cool and good spirited).
Even a few of the new android commercials have shown off the Nexus 6 whether it be a glimpse or the subject manner. It seems this time around with 5.0 Lollipop Google is going FULL FORCE on getting positive android appeal in the open market. Unlike before we are approaching something new and potentially great here for the community.

Thanks, but no thanks. If I want Android 2.2, I'd get a HTC. If I want a working GPS, I'll never buy a Samsung. If I want an iPhone, I'll load the MIUI ROM, or just buy the danged iPhone.
'nuff said
/not flaming, am I?
Ehh, been screwed over by Samsung too many times... I don't use GPS too much, but I do like Froyo and updates on time.
You must be a company rep.
I can't imagine that a true XDA member openly recommend the Captivate. We have too many un-addressed issues.
He's not a Rep. Just a happy person who loves his phone theirs nothing wrong with that

Somehow, that is even worse... and iFanboi who loves a Samsung phone.
Didn't know someone will care about my post... =-D
Well, I'm really sorry if some of you guys think my opinion is false...
I will repeat that, "MY OPINION"!!!
I'm not saying anything about recommending to buy this phone,
So please don't kill me, since this is why I post this thing on "off-topic" section.
: In my opinion!
-Once you get good phone by going through exchange process, I think this phone is really handy...
it have good screen quality and fast enough to play any fun games on/off the market...
[[[ I wonder why same Samsung models have different functions? In Korea, where it's mainly creates phone or share the ideas, don't have any problem with the phone... But of course, it's expensive in Korea... There is no 1or2-year contract, which means they are selling it for original price! And that original price is double the amount of US original price. ]]]
+I'm happy that I can buy same model phone in US
Ill admit that I love my captivate. Samsung makes very high quality phones. However, their software isn't worth sh!+. That's why I'm at XDA. If it wasn't for my crappy software, I'd never be a member. Considering I joined when I had an HTC phone that goes for them as well. My captivate just needs cyanogenmod. I've missed that since I destroyed my HTC phone.

Yup, they are real. I saw a couple of these in a video yesterday I guess this is why it's positive that Siri runs from a server.

Hmmm...if that's indeed the case, it's not the advancement I thought it was. If it's getting its responses from a server, it isn't processing its own responses. Any phone would be able to do that...basically acting as a phone call to a server and the server doing the processing of responses and sending those responses to the phone as a reply.
Yup, and that's why it's not working on the iPhone 4 (yet) since Apple isn't authenticating Siri commands from an iPhone 4.
But the thing that's good with the server is that Apple can add and develope Siri on-the-go without releasing OS updates, and with that develope Siri much faster - and of course insert some highly amusing answers!
But yeah, an Android device could easily do this, but that's not the case here. Siri is a fine piece of software, and Google will have to put a lot of energy into this to match Siri IMO. I don't think it's the response that's impressive (although it's pretty impressive), but the way Siri understands evrything so easily is the most impressive. You don't have to SPEAK CLEARLY AND SLOOOOOW
Apparently Siri used to be available for purchase on the appstore, until apple bought it out and locked it down to the iphail4.
There are many features of IOS5 which independent developers submitted to the appstore but were rejected, only to have their app stolen by apple, in some cases the name is kept and their logo changed slightly.
that was funny
Xaccers: Yeah but Apple buyed them years ago before the iPhone 4 i believe.

This could turn out to be a very bad thing for Google and LG to do and would piss a lot of customers off. Especially since pretty much most of the people who have Nexus 4's are the most loyal to Google...

Nothing. Rumors are rumors.
Not this again. That article's almost a week old.
Not only was there never any evidence that LG had stopped production (it was just a stupid rumor that circulated because one article wildly speculated without citing any sources), but LG has now stated that production of the Nexus 4 is increasing.

I'm also talking about the quote from the LG man where he said that they are going to be announcing some new Nexus devices at different screen sizes next month..
There may already be a new Nexus release coming soon regardless of the Nexus 4 staying in production.

I love the 90s. Good times.
What's that saying about honey, vinegar and bees
not sure why we should care about this.
if you wanted svdo then why buy an s4? the specs were released at least a month in advance.
man.. i really wish i had a custom SGS4 with my avatar on it....
i figure if samsung is watching then i might as well ask
I thought manufactures aren't supposed to post/monitor these sites. Although I'm sure they very well due, I swear I heard that a long time ago. Either way, too funny

I think its great they would reach out to someone like that. Of course its something they have no control over... when its a real bug we never hear anything.

I'm sure they monitor them, but it's not smart for them to post on them as they get ripped by someone no matter what they say. Kind of like the example in the OP above. I'm betting that support person will not be reaching out to anyone again anytime soon!
Its a shame really, they used to have developer relations and tried to reach out to the community with samsungjohn. however its just too much for one person and needs a whole team, we had kernel sources, responses from samsung and just a better connection with them.
its when samsung really took off in the rooting community.
I really miss this feature from the sgs3. It's too bad they cheaped out on us

If Sprint's LTE was anywhere as robust as their 3G (which in itself is not saying much) then this would not be much of an issue, but it's not.
Sometimes you wonder why they make such bone-headed decisions. Why couldn't they just leave the SVDO support in there. I doubt they can point to some incompatibility issue with anything like CPU or SoC or physical design etc..
OP is funny?
SVDO exclusion is almost certainly a Sprint decision, as no other phone besides the s3 and ltevo had it, or will have it.
And referencing T-mobile LTE? really? Missed that announcement where their LTE network is magically complete

Why should they change the design? It just works and despite of what some "design purists" are going to say it's one of the best on the market. Keep in mind when looking at all those concept artworks that they are just that artworks and they don't have to acknowledge all the given limitations that exist in reality.

Since Samsung has been awarded with some patents it may change in the future, but I agree with you, it just works, having a front button to wake up the phone is great.
IMO It's like to keep the "S" family close. Since it's the "S" flagship series. They could always use other design but it'll be a black sheep.

Up to a point I'm just not that interested in how it looks. I want it to do what I want (not Verizon's or Samsung's idea of what I want) & do it right now dependably. Good battery life, easy to handle & carry. That's why I am toting GS4 dev edition with Hyperdrive rom.
