Simply amazing! I wonder if VZW will be taking pre-orders soon. Leaks show retail launch date to be Nov. 10. Can’t wait to get mine.

I think your specs need some real data putting in to what looks like a dummy page you set up.

Standby time of 12050 hours – that’s over 18 months !
Internal storage of 12004 GB – some of my hard disk drives are smaller!
Weight of 12000 Grams means I will need a backpack for a phone weighing 12Kg
A screen size of 11994 Inch is bigger than my local cinema !

OK – enough……… please update with actual details….

Just got my Samsung Galaxy Nexus and as one of the first things I did was to install SwiftKey X on it (yay!). I did find some some incompatibilities/bugs:

1) The font size in the suggestions box seems a bit off (too big, letters like ‘g’ don’t fit properly)

2) The long-press popups for the right most keys (ie ‘)’ and ‘%’) on the numbers layout are misaligned: The first alternative is selected, but it’s the left-most one, so the other alternatives effectively cannot be selected.

3) In landscape view the textbox rendering seems to be broken. (no background for it)

4) There seems to be a new kind of keyboard hint (?) type for when entering system lock pin: default keyboard displays nice big numpad (with the alphabet on the keys), SwiftKey just it’s normal numeric layout. Would be awesome if it displayed a big numpad like the default one.
