Got my Nexus today, need to get myself a case for it though really. Can anybody recommend anything? I would rather have a pouch style case as I did with my HTC Desire rather than a flip case if possible.

This pouch is rather nice:

Does it look nicer than in the pictures?

The back looks great, but the front (suede?) side...not so much (imo). Is it just the picture or is it a pretty accurate view of how it looks?

The suede looks better in real life because it wasn't lit by flash. It is black.

So has anyone owned both the SGS2 and the Nexus? What are your opinions on the two? Which phone do you prefer?

I prefer the Nexus, superior screen, ICS as it should be, nicer design, the camera isn't as good but that doesn't bother me as I look at the screen more than I use the camera, so I know which is important.

Updates direct from Google not waiting 6 months for Samsung to destroy it with the touch wiz crap.

Yeh, i really hate 'take a wiz', just trying so hard to be like the iphone. That and the design of the s2 being like an enlarged plastic iphone are the two main things that let the phone down. It just doesn't have its own identity despite having fantastic hardware.

Grrrr, I've just done a system restore and the update was available again, the phone closed down and restarted with the green android stood up and the blue globe thing spinning and a few seconds later he's on his back with a red triangle with an exclamation mark in the center on it.

Like I've mentioned before my phone is routed but running the standard rom so i havnt a clue why the update won't install.

 

[Attu90]

And again, just done a full reset and it tells me the update is available, click to accept and when it starts to install the update it fails ..... going to try one more time.

 

[siclilmonkey]

Just got my phone and the volume bug is annoying me already

other problem i have is trying to link phone to my google mail account but i have a full stop in the user name and the phone keeps saying invalid character.

Any one got any idea on how to get round this?

............just trollin'

 

[BoomAM]

Is 'great little war game' any good? Got fieldrunners as i remember playing it on my iphone year ago.

Anyone found any good wallpaper sites for this phone?

 

[IvanDobskey]

Finally got my fitbag leather pouch Seems nicely made but a bit of a tight fit Hopefully will loosen up with use

 

[Tweaker]

Hate to sound ungrateful, but got these movie and books voucher cards today for being one of the first 100 buyers, and i dont want them. Does anyone watch a movie on their phone, or read a book for that matter.

 

[AndyCr15]

Seriously? I'll take them! I have to tell you, you can use them on other things too.
