Available in November and the SDK is available now.

I suspect one of these on Verizon LTE may be my next phone

Cannae wait until these hit our shelves, really looking forward to some hands on reviews and comparisons.

The ICS presentation blew me away.

I know some people will be disappointed by 'only' having a 5MP camera, but if it's got an improved larger sensor (as rumoured) the image quality should be right up there with the best. Certainly looked great in the presentation with zero shutter lag, the panoramic feature in the new camera app looked very nifty too.

Looking forward to see what the app developers come up with, especially with NFC - the beam feature is so cool!

A nice and concise presentation from Samsung and Google. I'm impressed with the new features and smoothness in ICS, a big step up for vanilla android.

The new Nexus looks like a gorgeous device. The only thing I'm concerened about is the camera quality and the pentile screen. Will wait for the reviews.

All in all it looks promising.

 

[Shimmy]

My only real reservation is if 4.65" is simply too big for me, hopefully not!

Back to bed for me

Can't wait for this.

Time to get rid of my sgs2

Anywhere to pre order this?

I've seen a review saying it is an OMAP4460 processor.

As to pre-order we'll have to wait and see but it shouldn't be too long a wait.

Slightly disappointed by the phone but ICS is nice.

 

[AndyCr15]

It is all looking rather nice.

I wouldn't worry about 'only 5mp'. I would almost guarantee, the people that moan about this have never used more than 2mp when they actually use their picture. The sensor quality is more important.

Can anyone confirm for me, I see this 'zero shutter lag', I assume this means and instant picture? That's far more valuable than an 8mp picture.

Yep, you hit the button and the pic is done, no delay. They showed it in the presentation.
It's also capable of taking 1 pic after the other in fairly quick succession.

 

[bimmerboii]

So there is no Android version of imessage/bbm?

 

[kona786]

So there is no Android version of imessage/bbm?

Nope. But do we really need one?

 

[bastic]

So there is no Android version of imessage/bbm?

there is. its called gtalk ;p

 

[bimmerboii]

Would be nice to have one built in to the messaging app. But I guess gtalk would suffice.
I read somewhere that Android is doing a bbm/imessage thingy.
