i'm not talking about sales, Iphones will always outsell everything.

its time for google to lay down the number 1 phone is what i'm saying, im sure u can think of a few elite super cars, but then a ford fiesta will out sell them :D

Well, that's clearly subjective. Anyway, you're busy trolling in the iPhone 4S thread so there's no need to start in here as well!
 
I do think its about time google had the best android phone, its there OS so they should show everyone else just how its supposed to be. The Nexus one was great phone but at the time I think stock google wasn't enough and the Desire out shined it, the Nexus S was just a SGS that came just before dual core android phones came out so was just missed timed but finally there isn't really anything much more phone devs can do so its time for google to out shine them all. I really hope thats the case or at least shares all the same hardware as the SGS II as nothing can beat at that the moment.
 
If the prime is decent i might lump up for it, i was just saying in another thread and have done for a while if CM7 appears stable and decent on the SGS2 i'd get it, so as long as the prime is a suped up open source SGS2 then i'd quite happily pay for it :)

If it's like the Nexus S then it should be available a couple of weeks after the official announcement.
 
I am thinking about upgrading my nexus one and was thinking about the iphone until I saw yesterdays keynote. What do you guys with the more recent, powerful android handsets find is the best thing about them as my nexus one has never really felt under powered. I would just like a bit more screen real estate, well pixel density at any rate.
 
The feeling here is Apple phoned it in with this one but it was inevitable really and is with all phone lines, continuing to innovate costs a lot of money. While I may be the one of the 14 people in the UK to use it I use google voice control, I use it all the time during my commute to send texts that I'm late, call people etc... But I'd never use it anywhere else - mostly due to the ridicule value ;)

16MP is indeed some mega headline but I honestly would rather they did it the iPhone way and have a quick startup instead of 16. 16 is probably the limit of what consumers can use with any decency isn't it? Seems like a lot for such a tiny formfactor with the lens' they get paired with. That said, what else can Samsung really do with this that's not in the SGS2? I get the feeling it might be not a lot but some potentials we have been thinking of here are:

Could go 720 screen and take a battery hit reversing the gains made in the SGS2 power management but oh my god it would be pretty and marketing would have a riot with this.
The mega forged internals option - 1.7ghz + 1.5gig + 32gig + decent GPU. Samsung have a big advantage in SoC design / memory and this would be a decent way to exert it.
Formfactor overhaul option - curve paired with 4" unusual design, ICS style controls, slightly more "premium" materials. I'd kill for some more colour in samsungs range. I recently got to see Nokia N9 and the casing on it is cracking - the industry could learn a lot from this much missed opportunity.
The S/W option - Either some kind of overhaul of the OS in a way not seen before Amazon style (but keeping the google core) or a simplification of certain aspects of the OS. Nothing too major, just a good "re-think".

But who am I kidding, I'd settle for about a 0.3Ghz bump and a screen change.

Edit for Fez - Speed of response. Trust me, the dual cores are quick to respond to your every move and things like rendering web pages are much improved. Helps that the GPUs in them are blinding as well, much better than your Nexus one if you enjoy the odd game.

Cheers buddy. I'm somewhat torn at the moment. I could get a cheap iphone4 till the iphone 5 comes out next year or I could get the nexus prime when it comes out.

I was getting a little sick of android for a while there but I think that was due to a crap rom that I flashed it with that was unstable and generally caused issues across the entire OS. I have replaced the rom on the nexus one with a better one and it flies now.

What is the state of NFC technology in this country at the moment, obviously not widespread adoption yet but is it in some places?
