Next month, after 4.2 is released...


How long did it take for Verizon to push the 4.0.4 update after it was out?

I seem to always be defending Verizon but Verizon was the first to get 4.0.2. 4.0.4 did take the longest to come out but it was a newer build than the GSM one when it came out(VZW was also out of AOSP during this update process but they are now back on it). VZW got Jellybean no more than a month after it was announced by Google.(me thinks this has to do with being back on AOSP)

So imo VZW has a mixed record on the Galaxy Nexus but I would say an extremely quick update from ICS to Jellybean more than makes up for a very slow upgrade from one build of ICS to another.

The VZW GNex also skipped over 4.0.3 entirely.

I was just poking fun anyway. Since the update was only 15-18 mb, it isn't major so I can't imagine it taking long at all, especially considering it didn't include new radios (for GSM anyway) so it should be soon. Has it hit AOSP yet?

That's a given. The real question is will Nexus S?

Likely but chances are it's the last one it will get, officially at least. I don't see them making the 5.0 cut. I'm even concerned about the GNex getting 5.0.

It sucks but it's the way things are. Even Apple couldn't do much about it and they only have 5 phones to worry about. Since the G1, hundreds devices had even shorter support, it's not a valid excuse but Nexus devices fared well in longevity comparisons. It would be foolish to expect the very progress of things that brings us better devices to somehow spare older devices in the process.

What's the reasonable timetable here? 24 months for the "up to date" status? I stuck with my previous phone for 30 months, partly because it did the job and partly because since I got it, nothing on the market struck me as "must have". Fact that OEM's like to blurt out planned features way in advance, show off future phones and demo units that won't hit the market in years didn't help either. I distinctly remember seeing a Qualcomm's roadmap that had the "S4 Pro" listed in the final column but I don't remember when because it was sooo long ago. I've been reading about the Exynos 5 and mobile 720p/1080p displays for a long time as well.
