This method is probably the most ridiculously easy root/unlock method i've ever come across. The hardest part was getting drivers installed on my computer lol. But yea..it's only for Windows I believe..
Yea that's what I mean lol. Use to be able to load it onto the device and go through terminal from there and achieve root access. Loved it. Unless it is possible as well and I just haven't found it.

I am loving this thing. I have the newest bugless beast on it and it is super smooth. Battery life is getting better but it isn't bad considering I get wifi a lot and 3G all the time. For the short time I was in 4G the battery took a little hit.

Overall I am very satisfied so far. Great work Google/ Samsung. Everyone's mouth drops when they see this.screen lol.

Well, I pulled the trigger on a Nexus this morning. Will be delivered tomorrow. I'm actually nervous about tossing the 9900 and 9790 in the drawer!

Good luck, it's an awesome phone. I recommend getting the extended battery with it.

The extended battery adds about 1mm to the back of the phone, seriously, it's like no difference physically. It does add a little weight though, feels more solid to me with the extended battery in it. You may still be able to get the extended battery at a 50% discount ($25) as well.

Yea I just ordered it yesterday and it is still 50% off.

How much extra battery you getting out of it?

I didn't use my device as much the other day but with the normal battery I got this...

Still playing around with kernels, undervolting and speed governors to really tell. That's great what you got out of the standard battery though.

i just had a brand new- in the retail box as would be purchased in-store Nexus Asurion replacement sent (for the $100 deductible) as my estranged wife took (stole) my original Nex.

i really dont care about the phone- as the replacement is brand new (and i now have additional headphones, charger, battery, etc) but the pictures of our children are what pisses me off.

either way- i momentarily pondered trading it for a NIB iP4S just to have something different, but LTE is just too fast for me to pass it off. granted, the iP4S is a nice device, but the Nexus design, OS and screen size are awesome.

I've had my GN for about 6 weeks, don't get LTE where I live. I was in Tucson over the weekend with LTE. I was cool with Vzn 3G browsing, but LTE is amazing/blazing fast. Web pages show up in a second, it's way faster than WiFi. I was impressed, and I didn't think I would be.
