not sure if I should start a separate thread

http://www.google.com/nexus/#/galaxy/features

Im curious about getting this phone, since it does not require a contract plus it'll replace my current flip phone + iPod Touch combo

just worried on how to sync my mp3+mp4 collection

my mp4 is formatted for the iPod Touch. do I need to reformat it for the Galaxy Nexus size screen?

How does the mp3 sound?

Im used to mooching wifi at Starbucks or McDonalds so getting a refill card is limited to $30-50

thanks in advance

The phone you linked is falsely marketed. I quote:

Galaxy Nexus is the latest smartphone from Google.

This information is erroneous, as the phone is made by Samsung (which us very clearly stated on the phone's backplate in the pics.)

I'm yet to see the same marketing tact with the Xperia series.

Ewe it makes my windows phone look iphoney ;)

LOL... the 1st screen is mobile but as soon as i click on the forums mobile version or otherwise it goes back to full screen as in desktop like.

Does the forum itself have a mobile version? the news works fine as mobile although i wish i could change off the iphone color lol.

I do Dannik but won't that change it overall... not just mobile? or does it remember? i'll have to look on my phone.

OK checked it on phone. Both Forums (mobile) and Forums (Normal) go to the same theme that is the desktop themes. My only choices of change them is IP.Board and Deviant 3 (import). I keep it on Deviant but both selectable themes are not optimized for mobile phones... they are full desktop themes.

Like i said the news, downloads and every other part is working under mobile but the IPBoard is not.

Hope the explanation helps.

What user agent are you using when you go mobile? Drop me a PM and I'll do my best to sort it out.

I did figure out why you don't see the mobile skin in the drop down, which leads me to the above question. I'm acting on a hunch that your UA isn't one that automatically redirects to the mobile skin for some reason.

with my phone i can do 1 of 2 things... set it to desktop version which makes full desktop of every site like cnn, foxnews, ect or mobile which if a site has a mobile version will show it. On the iphone usually you have to load the mobile version then choose the desktop if it has a link at the bottom. Windows phone locks to whichever you choose in your settings. Neother though brought up the mobile theme.

Here is the user agent... granted i have an htc titan not a samsung but this is what it is.

"Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 9.0; Windows Phone OS 7.5; Trident/5.0; IEMobile/9.0; SAMSUNG; SGH-i917)"

Windows phone uses Mobile IE9. The newer windows phone 8 will probably use IE10 mobile but it's not out till after October.

I also noticed if i load the mobile version of the site in IE 9 on WIndows 7, the forum still doesn't give me a mobile choice although the entry landing is.

Thanks for looking at this ... Nokia is pushing windows phone big time in Europe so i'm sure more peeps will benifit from this.

No luck yet... still no mobile option when entering the forum :(

Not sure if this helps

Now with mango the latest update it became 7.5 but i'm not sure if the useragent changed. Also with the windows 8 tablets coming you may want to consider the user agent of IE10.

Just some thoughts. Us windows phone guys are always the last to get any love lol. It does work fine in desktop mode though... just a lot of zooming in and out.

I have a couple more tweaks to check out, but it's not looking like a problem I can solve without escalation. Oh, and my above attempt does account for Windows Phone 7 & 7.5, it just didn't do what I needed. I'm going to call this one unable to resolve, but you never know. A solution might sneak in.
