Film rentals on Android Market:

https://market.android.com/movies

I don’t know about transferability but it's probably linked to you Google account. There is a url to follow for instructions.

Well, I always keep my phone in my right jeans pocket, my right jacket pocket and my right inside suit pocket. I've never accidentally put it into a wrong pocket yet

It means you're a right sort of guy.

TIP:

When browsing a long press on the back key brings up bookmarks/history/saved pages.

Mine is waiting for me at an Amazon locker. Will pick it up when going back from work.

Is a factory reset something I need to do soon as I get it? Or not reall necessary?

Anything else I need to be doing before I start playing and customizing it?

You don't need to do a factory reset on a new phone. Check to see whether you have the patch.

someone said that this patch reverted phone to factory settings but mine wasnt

They're making it up. Mine didn't.

And how come there's no WiFi direct settings outside of on/off?
NM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19893759&postcount=7

Further to that:

Provides classes to create peer-to-peer (P2P) connections with Wi-Fi Direct.
Using these APIs, you can discover and connect to other devices when each device supports Wi-Fi Direct, then communicate over a speedy connection across distances much longer than a Bluetooth connection. The primary class you need to work with is WifiP2pManager, which you can acquire by calling getSystemService(WIFI_P2P_SERVICE). The WifiP2pManager includes APIs that allow you to:

• Initialize your application for P2P connections by calling initialize()
• Discover nearby devices by calling discoverPeers()
• Start a P2P connection by calling connect()
• And more

Several other interfaces and classes are necessary as well, such as:

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/wifi/p2p/package-summary.html

and

http://developer.android.com/resources/samples/WiFiDirectDemo/index.html

It may be that you need another device switched on to bring up a further menu. You could try it if you know someone with another GN or SGII.

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.
