I was going to buy this phone but was put off by a few things like camera, sd card and all the rest, i went for the iphone in the end.

4 or 4S? Seems quite odd to go for an iphone based on the points you raised. The iphone also has no sd card and costs an absolute fortune for the 64GB version. Camera wise I doubt the iphone is that much better overall, they are very similar. The stuttering on 1080p video recordings on the 4S was horrible. The iphone 4/4S is a nice phone but nowhere near worth the price imo.

This is the problem ^^ there's a reasonable chance it could be the best camera in a smartphone to date.

"How good is the camera?"

"Erm, only 5 mega pixels"

:rolleyes:

To be honist the only thing that put me off the iphone was the smaller screen, but after using someone elses for a bit I realised the screen size is just fine for me. Never had a smartphone before and its brilliant but I dont have anything to compare it to.

lol

good choice the iphone does have 4 sd card slots!

What res is the Nexus screen? It says 1080p, then further down it says 720p?

edit: nvm, found it.

The stuttering isn't happening on all devices, it was dodgy encoding or something.

I very much doubt that.

No, but it has storage options beyond 16GB, which is quite clearly what he meant.

What makes you think it might be the best camera on a smartphone to date then? Go on.

Gives us more time to make our minds up which is nice. I think I'll take PLENTY of time to try out this, the nokia 800 and the razr before making my mind up.

nice to have a date, i guess we should see prices stabilise, slightly sad its 3 weeks away

Jeepo · 28 Oct 2011 at 00:45

Works for me, my new upgrade date is the 24th of November!

Gives me time to try it out and see if I prefer it or the Razr before I take the plunge. I 100% expect to get the GNex, but due diligence and all that...........

_Jimlad_ · 28 Oct 2011 at 00:47

hopefully some big guns will have prices tomorrow morning

uvarvu · 28 Oct 2011 at 07:33

Cheapest I can see at the moment is £513 on Handtec according to Froogle. Still a bit too much if you ask me.

Cosimo · 28 Oct 2011 at 08:00

Looks like the Germans have a better price, £462:

What on-board storage options does the 4S have :confused:

I'd love to be one of these sales reps. Travelling the world, talking tech, speaking to like minded people - I cannot think of anything more fun!!

It looks gorgeous though. November 17th seems so far away. The next 3 weeks are going to be a nightmare.
