Leak: Galaxy Nexus Will Be the First Android Jelly Bean Phone
Google has managed to inadvertently let slip that the unlocked Galaxy Nexus will be the first handset to feature Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, through a slightly mis-timed Google Play product listing.

Has any one been hearing about VZW,getting rid of all unlimited data plans if new contracts are renewed for an upgrade phone .Then if you don't sign a new contract all of your new phones have to be bough at full price ...

From what I've read, it won't matter what you do. Basically you will lose your unlimited data.

No. They're completely getting rid of the grandfathered in thing. No more unlimited data at all is what I've heard.
Nazis!

Here is the exact info:
Quote:
- Customers will not be automatically moved to new shared data plans. If a 3G or 4G smartphone customer is on an unlimited plan now and they do not want to change their plan, they will not have to do so.
- When we introduce our new shared data plans, Unlimited Data will no longer be available to customers when purchasing handsets at discounted pricing.
- Customers who purchase phones at full retail price and are on an unlimited smartphone data plan will be able to keep that plan.
- The same pricing and policies will be applied to all 3G and 4GLTE smartphones.
Basically, you can keep your grandfathered plan, but you're going to be paying full price for all your phones from now on. Which, you know, is totally unsensible for the average consumer.

I'm glad I picked up my Droid 4 before this change. I plan on keeping this one for 4+ years like my Droid 1. I feel like I should just start abusing my unlimited because of this now, but I dont want to get throttled down.

Jellybean is insanely fast. It still lags, but I imagine that will be buffed out when the final version launches in mid July.

I found an awesome new app today called tablet talk.
At my new apartment I don't have signal unless the phone is in a window. Tablet talk sends all my text messages to my tablet where I can then read and reply using bluetooth or the wifi.
So far I love it.

That's sound pretty great. I have the same issue with signal in my place as well.
Once I receive my tablet, I think that'll be one of the first apps I get.

Good to know, don't be shocked if I ask you some technical questions when you get it. I'd like to know a few things before I buy one.

Ask away. I'd be more than happy to.
Though realize that I'm not very tech-y at all.
Don't know how to root phones or anything.
Rolling with stock like a G!

I mean I don't have the exact model but I do have the Transformer Prime which is pretty much its big brother. If you have any general questions I can answer I would be more than happy to.
