***** The Official Galaxy Nexus Thread *****

For the record, I'm fully satisfied. Not noticed any bugs yet, best device available by far.

Makes me chuckle all these folk coming in to this thread to say they wont buy... sure, your loss.

Leave them to enjoy their TouchWiz garbage and old hat screen resolution.

Likewise. I have an iPhone 4 to compare. There is definitely a new way of thinking and a learning curve here, but it is a nice change.
 
People saying its not an upgrade, I have two questions for you -

Can you show me someone thats used the GNex and SGSII and has chosen the SII?

Having now used 2.3 on your current phone, how would you feel if you had to use 1.6?
 
Has anyone got one of these on O2 contract?

I am currently on a simplicity £15pm contract which passed it's 12mnth mark quite a while ago.

But the O2 contracts are looking like a joke on their site, the only way to dodge a down payment on the phone is with the £50+pm one.

My mate has tried to tempt me over to Three before, but with their more reasonable pricing for this I might end up going.

Then again, I am foreveralone.jpg and hardly use my minutes so I might just switch back to topups and wait for this to drop in price :p

There a few of us in here with o2 contracts. I pay £36 a month now on a 12 month contract and got the phone for £172, which works out just fine for me.
 
What's the best deal going for this now? I remember somebody posting a sub £30 deal for 18 months awhile back.
End of contract with orange, and looking to upgrade.

Call them and get through to retentions. Tell them they are too expensive and you are leaving, and let them convince you to stay. They actually usually have a lot of wiggle room, so you could get what your after easily enough.
 
i got [even though i havent picked the phone up yet]

£15/month 18 months
£220 upfront
100mins
unlimited text
1gb streaming + unlimited browsing/email etc

total for 18 months is £490 which i was happy with, that was through retentions


still undecided if im going to get the phone though with all these issues, its at the shop, i could have it in 30 mins!
 
Just for those who were wondering about BBC apps.

Android News app should be out in the next couple days for ICS, the latest build is on my phone and works fine, should be finished testing this week.
The iPlayer app wont work until flash works, thats it really.
 
You probably all know what it looks like, but on ICS

Some eye candy

Samsung UK twitter

Regarding the Galaxy Nexus, we are aware of the volume issue and have developed a fix. We will update devices as soon as possible.

Surprisingly balanced comparison here of the iphone 4S vs Galaxy Nexus.

The only bit I'd add there is that volume+ addresses the Nexus loudspeaker volume making it a non issue.

Again whilst I personally couldn't live with iOS, the review is quite fair. But the last section on 'Accessibility' just seems like something he has done to even up the scores in the end. :p He could have easily added another round where Android beats iOS at something, seems he purposely wanted to conclude in a draw.
 
I have no idea how some of you guys get these deals. Do you have dodgy pictures of the network bosses or something?? They just don't seem feasible.

By whining and complaining and crying about leaving because stuff is too expensive through retentions.

I take it you only upgrade through the rip off scammers in the upgrades department.
 
I'm getting quite pleased with how the major apps are coming along now. They are a lot better looking than they used to be.
