Yeah i heard that about the camera. I doubt its SGS2 standard though even if it is a good 5mp snapper. I doubt also it'll be a patch on the N8.

With todays rumours of 2.5ghz HTC Android phones coming in the new year, i cant see the point in this phone unless you're into getting to grips with Android as it should be.

As has been said many a time before, don't get hung up on the mega pixel count! I'm sure we wouldn't be able to tell the difference between photos from both, and from what I've read the sensors in the G-Nexus are better anyway...

The HTC's do sound promising, but its likely the first round of them will be Q2 so 6 months or so and the 2.5Ghz quad beast won't be till the second half of the year... so possibly Q4 to give the first lot a chance?

Also, don't forget overclocking which is bound to get the G-Nexus up to 1.6Ghz...

Looking forward to having the pure ICS experience and being the first to get updates...

So did you get one today ? im tempted like i said but i dont want to have a dual core phone for a few months and then quad core come along making it obsolete in terms of cutting edge specs.

Apparently CPW have them today also.

Either way im impressed with how quick the announcement and then into stores speeds up with companies like Apple and Samsung. Nokia and SE on the other hand tend to announce a phone and then release it 6 to 9 months later. With the exception of the Lumia.

Girlfriend is also due an upgrade soon so im coaxing her into getting the Nexus for me to play with.

Supplier said he'd come back to me on Monday as he thinks P4U have the exclusive on the launch... Here's hoping Monday bring good tidings of joy and of happiness... Mine of course!

Its not a bug with ICS, its a compatibility issue at Adobe's end. Read it thoroughly, as i jumped to that conclusion when i skimmed the headlines.

There is apparently a bug in the device volume though.

At least this one is entertaining and an obvious bug. Its other bugs which are more serious, such as the 4S battery issue which can affect people being even able to use the phone as a phone.
