We mentioned Alex Ioannou in our post detailing the official launch of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus in the UK. He looks mighty happy to have his new smartphone in the above picture tweeted out by Samsung mobile. However, after getting home and powering up his new toy, Alex’s joy quickly turned to frustration. His Galaxy Nexus came loaded up with an older Android 4.0 developer ROM, complete with debug options including the ability to “Report a WTF condition.” Alex also had trouble adding his Google account to the device, leading to a trek back to the store where he currently awaits a replacement. The incident seems isolated as there have been no other reports of such software problems. Perhaps Samsung had a special device set aside for the first person to buy the Galaxy Nexus and that device somehow slipped through the cracks without getting a final software refresh. We might never know the why, but those planning to buy the phone today shouldn’t worry about similar OS issues just yet.

Report a WTF condition should be a standard feature! Also I want a button that I can press that turns my phone into a BFG 9000
make sure you’re ready when dwayne johnson turns on you
idkfa
Good start
wtf is right
That’s right I’m not worried about similar OS issues as there’s no TMO version yet.
lol
I would have kept it! Dumpped the rom, and put it on xda!
why? you’ll get a proper one in about another 10 minutes.
see no reason to dump an older 4.0 build. dump the working full 4.0 build instead.
Maybe they set it up that way thinking an awesome dev would end up with the first phone and not a lame balding 23 year old.
lollllllllll is he really 23? lol
Hope this guy dumped the phone content the XDA…
Why did Europe get the phone before US?
Because VZW pouts like little babies when they don’t get 100% of their way.
another reason it should have went to T-Mobile first like the first two Nexii
Lets hope google doesn’t make this mistake again
Because of ill us patent law…
Lame
You know that WTF stands for “What a Terrible Failure”, don’t you :-)

I must say pretty cool, and this guy Alex was lucky nerd to grab one of the first new flagship phone made by Google for 2011!
Yeah WTF. US should have got it first.
Why?
B/c we’re the US.
Yeah I thought that would be the only justification…
*sigh*
Lol … we all should have gotten them at the same time. Google and Samsung should’ve released for the UK,US,Canada, Australia, and Japan. Then the next week release it everywhere else it plans to release.
Try: Should’ve released it everywhere at once.
The Scandivavian countries, Austria and I think the Netherlands have the highest number of average phones per capita. We’re nuts for new phones. Even my mother owns two, for crying out loud!
I’m from the UK, but I definitely think Germany should get it first too, as Europe’s biggest and most populous economy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Europe_mobile_phone_penetration_map.png
Pay your debts over there in Europe, you are causing my stock portfolio to decline!
too right mate lol!
May have to have a stroll down the road and get one of these samsung nextshit phones and sell to the cry baby’s across the pond, couple of grand maby?
and you’re better than everyone else?
…..sigh…..are all Americans still this dumb?
No, no we are not. Sadly it’d the dumb ones that don’t know better who are the loudest.
I know it. Sucks..!
LMFAO!
