for people still having issues, i ordered at 5pm last night from o2 and it's coming today, (still waiting but tracking it now, was out for dispatch at 7am this morning)

Did it arrive?

Anyone been or going to P4U this morning? I really hope they have reduced the prices!

I am going to ring them shortly and get whichever monkey is on the other end to swear on pain of death that the phones are £529 and they have them in stock.

I do not want to get bummed again

Phoned up and spoke to a very assertive lady who assured me that they have stock and for £530. (Dundee Overgate). I'm away there just now. I'll keep you updated!

Anandtech has some benchmarks of the Galaxy Nexus.

Ie. the CPU is fast. GPU, not so much.

Adobe Flash Player is not available and we are now waiting on Adobe to make a compatibility change.

No loss. Not missing Flash at all. If anything my browsing is faster.

Going to get a contract, thinking ~900 mins, 500 text, 1gb internet

Any suggestions?

I've not had a contract for a while, so out of the loop

Are you happy with your current provider for data speeds? If not would you be happy to move? I suggest Three but you might want to try an array of PAYG sims to see what's fast in your area.

No I don't think so.. I've never noticed any difference when doing so.

Who were the people filming outside the shop?

Adobe Flash Player is not available and we are now waiting on Adobe to make a compatibility change.

Has anything actually been said by Adobe to confirm that? My feeling is that it won't be happening. I'm basing that on Adobe's statement from earlier this week,they are only providing security updates.

When a guy from android came into our office a couple of weeks ago, he showed us flash on ICS, it is coming, just a matter of time now

Im surprised how big it is! Im absolutely loving it though already. My apps never synchronised properly for some reason but i dont mind. Loving this phone!!

 

[Mirage]

Mine got delivered yesterday, quite happy with it - any issues im having are just due to the switch from a jailbroken iOS to ICS. The screen is absolutely amazing, and i cant believe how light this phone is!

Im kind if new to android, ive got a vega with vegacomb on it but have never had a phone.

Can anyone tell me how to put widgets on my lockscreen with ics? Id love to have a silent switch and calender without having to unlock my phone.

No idea, I think they said Hulu but why would that company want to film us! They interviewed me in the store once I paid for my phone, glad that video hasn't surfaced because I didn't know what to say!

P.S Still miffed that you didn't say hello to me
