You've asked the same question a large number of times in a provocative manner and people are getting tired of it. It appears that you're criticising people who have bought the phone and it's unnecessary.
You've been given enough answers. Move on.

Can the kies and allshare be installed on this?
I found the cause of my lack of crt animation when switching off the screen...
When i go to - settings > developer options > windows animation scale > x0.5 (or off) this then turns off the animation.
Helpful tip if you dont like it really

It wouldnt be a big enough step up from a SGSII for me either, and I wouldnt bother with doing that, but this thread isnt about you or your reasons for not wanting the phone, its a thread for people who are buying it for whatever reason.
I wouldnt want to buy a SGSII over the Nexus, even if you think the difference between them is small, the price difference is £120 to buy either one new, and that price difference is going to remain for some time if selling them second hand, so it makes no difference to me as I am going to be getting two new phones while considering selling either one.
Anyone waiting for a delivery from 3 tomorrow I wouldn't hold your breath, I ordered mine on the 15th and they are now telling it will be Friday at the earliest. Turns out that pre-ordering is worth **** all for these companies. So now I have taken half a day off of work to wait for the delivery for nothing.

Hey you may be lucky and actually get it. I'm so annoyed right now, they seem to screw me over every time, I tried to by a GS2 off of them in June and they screwed me so many times I cancelled the order.
But I have no dispatch email yet, and their phone lines have no humans on the other end at this time
Also I ordered on the 17th, 2 days later than you.
Jimlad, try this.
Uninstall KIES if you have it on youe computer, download and install PDANet.
PDANet aparently has better usb drivers so it "may" work, while I could drag and drop files ive been unable to root my phone as when in boot mode my computer couldn tsee my phone because of the poop drivers.
Installing PDANet and the computer using its drivers sorted out my problem, it may with a bit of luck it may sort your problem out.

Whaaaaat? That sucks dude! Have they given any reason for the delay??
It is not a huge step up from the Galaxy S II, no, but to imply there is basically no difference is quite bizarre. Nobody has suggested that there is a big difference.
The screen is a huge hardware feature of any modern phone, and this has the biggest (without being too big), and the best resolution. It's sharp, which is what AMOLED screens have been lacking until now, I've complained about it since I got my HTC Desire years ago.
Stock Android looks worth having more than ever with the ICS improvements, all future updates will come to the phone with absolutely no problems and some people seem to care an awful lot about that, so of course it's a good feature.
It's a much nicer design than the Galaxy S II (again, this is opinion) and seems to be faster at anything that isn't taxing on the GPU - most things. Yes, that may be software related but the fact is that it's the quickest device out there at the moment. Nothing stays on top for very long in the current phone climate and they are all ridiculously powerful. The lack of an SD card slot is disappointing, but it isn't going to bother everyone.
Yes, the camera/video aren't really any better, but the camera for example has the extremely quick shutter speed and a few other small benefits like the superior low light performance. The battery is probably slightly worse, but I doubt there is a lot in it.
You just keep posting one liners trying to irritate people which seems a bit strange, there's no need for it.
I've never been totally happy with the Galaxy S II or Sensation myself personally, I use the iPhone 4 over both of them because neither of them tick as many boxes as that does, but hopefully the Nexus will bridge that gap with its excellent screen and more mature Android software. We'll see. If not, I don't care. I'll get a 4S until Google try again.
Anyway, hopefully you understand a bit better now.
Ok seeing as some people are having issues is it worth trying retentions now or waiting until next week? I was hoping this week as im off work.
Also how is mp3 playback? Has anybody used it with decent headphones? Not expecting miracles but hope it's decent.
I've had a lot of questions answered but still not more than 75% sure I will go for this, what i am sure of is it will be this or wait and stick with the desire. I hate the look of the sgs2 with a passion and don't care about gpu, care more about camera, battery and screen

Just thought id add, I unpluged my phone and 7am, did a bit of browsing and a bit of YouTube at lunch, showed the phone off to a few people ( as you do ) looked at a few emails, had a bit of a play this evening and my battery is now on 67% ... not bad.

It would be nice to let me decide when I want to sleep the device though, if it reduces battery fine, but that doesn't mean the option shouldn't exist.
Just high demand. I'm just going to go and crawl under a rock for a few days, getting really disappointed with this now, I can only maintain this level of excitement for a new product for a few days, now I'm just reserved to the fact that it will take forever.
