Want this, 720p screen! 
Want this, 720p screen!
I think this is the biggest plus for this phone. I hope it starts a trend.
I'd rather this trend wasn't started. QHD is a much better choice, no black bars when watching movies!

What do you mean? a movie that is 1280x720 (or any 16:9 movie for that matter) will not have any black bars on this screen or any screen sporting the same AR.

Pretty sure that's his point, stuff comes out in 1.185 etc... that he watches

Not everything though!
Despite everyone else saying it doesn't... hmmmmm
lolwut?
Yup, no SD slot, thought that had been officially confirmed already?
Soldato
why do we need 2 nexus threads?

I think simulatorman is getting a bit giddy, he likes those asterisks!

The original thread is just a rumor-fest hence it's 99% useless.
I was very interested in this phone but thats fizzled out in the past few days. Few reasons why:
ICS: It is not really a selling point as it is free software and other phones will get the upgrade
no hard buttons
no sd card slot (main reason i dont have an iphone)
5mp camera (even if it is better than other 5mp cameras)
CPU and GPU are not cutting edge (~4years old)
plus the samsung galaxy note is now on pre-order which looks epic, especially for me being a college maths teacher I can just imagine how useful it will be, hope to connect it to the interactive whiteboard via bluetooth and use it that way

Why is the 5MP camera one of your neg points? If the software and imaging sensor are of good quality then the MP count means absolutely nothing!
My SLR is 10.2MP but that doesn't mean it takes pictures that are worse than a consumer digital camera with 16MP!

Do you know the difference between 720p and QHD resolutions? Myshra and mrk helped explain my argument a little more afterwards, did you read their posts?

qHD and 1280*720 are the same aspect ratio (16:9), so the only difference is the number of pixels, unless I'm missing something?

While I certainly agree with this. Do you think Samsung would use an improved sensor but not go with 8MP? Considering that higher MP is a selling point to the general public and competing phones at up to 8?
To me it mostly hints that Samsung are probably just being cheap, but I'd like to be surprised.

Exactly. Whats youR point uvarvu?
Just from a design and aesthetics pov - which phone do you guys think looks better? SGS2 OR NEXUS
CPU is cutting edge - GPU is the old part - however i'd waity to see what the benchmarks say as the gpu has been revamped. I t also decodes HP H.264 which is a plus point.
