Verizon,
Step up, take accountability, and help thousands of customers who have purchased the Google Nexus from you. WE DON'T care who releases the updates, all we care is that we paid too much money for the device that was supposed to be on leading edge of Android OS and whole bunch more for the data plan for a device that does half the things advertised. Shame, utter shame. All we know is that we bought the device from you, Big Red, hence you're responsible to deliver. Waiting for 5+ months for an upgrade for any smart phone is shameful, let alone a device that was supposed to be a developer device.
Google Nexus Owners can petition here:http://www.change.org/petitions/google-verizon-bring-focus-to-the-galaxy-nexus
Here are some of the MAJOR issues that I am facing with this device:
1. 3G-4G hand off and vice versa take forever. The moment is gone before I need the data. I brag about the device being the fastest but it hits Murphy's Law of "If anything can go wrong, it will" when I am trying to display something to my colleagues or friends.
2. Battery life is pathetic. I am a network engineer and when I am on call, which is every 3rd week, I go through 2 extended batteries a day, just trying to keep with pages, checking NOC statuses, etc. On regular basis, I have to constantly keep an eye on it.
3. My wife has a CDMA VZ iPhone and she charges it every 3rd day ... wtf !
4. Google Music Player crashes like it's designed to crap out on you when the best part of the song is about to come on. Some annoying bug !!
5. Navigation takes for ever to sync up with the satellite as if its still waiting for the rocket carrying sat payload to make a lift off .... who knows how many times I missed an exit or destination b/c the freaking thing was still looking for a satellite ... in open sky !! I guess the space debris is getting in the way ... touche, spacemen, with your spaceshit blocking the signal :-/
6. Did I mention the battery life sucks? While writing this petition, it beeped for more juice ... like a kid .. always whining for more juice.
7. Freaking thing reboots for no reason. Wish I could just bounce from work for couple hours and come back and tell my manager .. Sorry ... I don't work as I promised when you brought me on board, however, I believe I need an upgrade!
