Anyone used handtec?

Im assuming they'll refund any difference come release day?

I've used then a couple of times for Galaxy Tab 10.1 accessories and the service was fine. I wouldn’t make the assumption on the price, best give them a call and see.

Hmmm well i've just tweeted them, so lets see what they say there, fingers crossed.

Should get the RAZR.

Tempting, but I can't be bothered waiting for ICS.

Wait, what? What would Dear Leader Jobs have thought?

I agree!

I'd still get a note though

Vote for me and I'll ban the use of shiny materials on phones

Speaking as a webOS fanyboy try out WP7's task switching first... it's about 5 years behind webOS multitasking, you'll need a different mindset for using the phone (and one of the reasons I'm not getting one yet)

Hopefully ICS should get closer to that wonderful webOS experience. Personally I'd keep the pre 3 until there's smaller ICS phones around or MS announce Apollo with a type 3 chassis.

exactly what u wabted hear, as im a fanboy of webos aswell. and with matis duarte being at the helm of ICS, thats made my mind up. thanks

Hey guys,

First post here, been keeping a close eye on this phone. Really looking forward to it. Just found a UK site detailing contracts on the major networks;

http://www.phoneslimited.co.uk/Samsung/Galaxy+Nexus.html

Thanks for that.

Some reasonable price on there. Hopefully this will be available on 12 month contract idc.

It's worth it...

Well, I just hope I'm not getting a turkey.

4" 720p screen and I would have been sold.

According to some the Razr is releasing tomorrow. I will get some hands on and then wait for the Gnex to come out.

If your considering a GS2, how you aren't thinking about a RAZR?

I'm in the same position and I'm starting to sway to the GN.

The new screen and ICS are things I'll appreciate, also not having to wait for updates or leaked buggy ROMs. The usability of the GN camera looks good too, instant shutter speed, panoramic and quality seems to be good too.

I'm aware the GS2 has a better GPU but I honestly don't think I would notice the difference in real world use. Still I'll make sure to handle a GN first to make sure I'm happy with its dimensions ~ very slightly larger than the GS2.

Lets face it, you hardly need a top end gpu for a few rounds of angry birds anyway. I just dont play high end 3d games on my mobile phone. The gpu will be fine.
