Available in November and the SDK is available now.

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.

Demo of the Andriod Beam:

It appears that The NFC circuitry is built into the battery.

A brief Galaxy Nexus vs. Galaxy S II, Nexus One and Nexus S hands-on:

This was never going to be a massive leap from the GS2, they are saving that for April/may next year, just like they did a year ago.

The Galaxy Nexus is more about being an ICS platform/showcase then it is about being a powerhouse. I think some people have probably raised their expectations to high expecting an SGII beater.

What is LCS?

Large Cream Sandwich, it's what you have before you get an Ice Cream Sandwich.

The event from the early hours of this morning:

Another hands-on:

UK pricing and network info here

..and slightly scary looking pricing from P4U !!

P4U not looking to get any customers with that opening offering of theirs.

[Cosimo]

Just appeared on Clove for £514.80:

http://www.clove.co.uk/samsung-galaxy-nexus-16gb

So probably means we will see it for around £480ish.

 

[Cosimo]

Who's getting one first?

I've got one on my desk. Now get to the back of the queue.

 

[Cosimo]

£474 here:

http://www.unlocked-mobiles.com/sim...s-sim-free-unlocked-mobile-phone-p-83950.html


"Pre Order. Expected on 07/11/2011."

So it begins. We'll see pricing from all within tens days and on sale no more than ten days after that.

i just watched a host of videos and keynotes speech again so 100% getting this now, i see some sites have stated it comes with a sd slot. but most saying no. so i guess not?

Unless it's hidden under the battery then I think there won't be one. It will be the same as the Nexus S, no slot.

 

[Cosimo]

I always thought they released May/June time which is ages away! :0 I don't have any smart phone atm

It will probably be like the SGS2, announced at Mobile World Congress (Feb) and on sale May.

[Cosimo]

Any guesses on a release date?

I think you have one in your hands my mid-November.

 

[Cosimo]

Yes, I'll be getting the Nexus for review before it's released. At least then I can have a long term comparison between both side by side doing the same things.

So who are you getting it from and are you buying it?
