As I posted in another thread, a Canadian telecom, Tellus mobility, posted an update page for devices on their network, and had this to say about 4.04.

"The update is temporarily unavailable for download due to issues discovered by Google in the latest software release.

The release of Android Ice Cream Sandwich v 4.0.4 will provide the following enhancements:

  • Cool new Android widgets, notifications, multitasking and lock screen
  • Share contacts, websites, apps, and games using Android Beam
  • Data use management – Warning and usage limits can be specified to control and even turn off data usage"

This was not specifically related to the GNex but the NexusS

I was hoping there would be one more bullet point to add to the new features in the (hopefully soon) upcoming update:

  • Make voice phone calls to another person without your outbound audio cutting out or crackling digital noises on both sides.

yeah, I'm pretty sure Samsung, Google, or VZW will never admit that.

I would really like to use the 3 pin dock as well as a car dock for NAV. I wasn't aware that it didn't work on 4.0.2 and was delayed because of that. I was thinking about going back to a Droid because they have awesome accessories. I had a Droid 4 for a week and the signal strength was MUCH better than my Galaxy Nexus. The screen sucked badly, and the vibration setting was so aggressive that it sounded like a duck quacking so I sent it back.

Yeah, it's a real bummer that we can't use the car dock yet. Hopefully we'll get the update soon, and Samsung will start selling more accessories. I bought the Samsung car dock minus the 3pin adapter... it's still pretty awesome, I just have to plug a separate cable for charging.

As for going back to Droid... you do realize that Verizon uses the "Droid" name for many phones, right? Motorola, HTC and Samsung all have "Droid" phones. Not all Android phones are "Droid" phones, but it's just a name for advertising, and mostly Motorola phones. As for accessories, each phone is different. I'm disappointed in Samsung.

edit: I'm disappointed in Sammy for not releasing accessories or the mic cutting out software. Other than that, it's a great smart phone for non-phone calls.

I've always had Motorola Droids before this.

Its more likely that that is due to 4G/3G handoff than anything else. I have been running the GNex since December and have yet to experience anything like that
