Seriously, one of the sexiest phones out right now. Killer specs, vanilla android, quad core, 2gb of ram and ONLY (starting) $299usd factory unlocked???

I'm a huge wp8 fan, but this is almost impossible to turn down. The 920 when it drops unlocked is easily gonna be in the $600usd range. With the only desernable pro being, a more stable/fluid os and 32gb of storage vs the 16gb max of the nexus 4.

rel liking that nexus...always prefered nexus phones over other androids as how nexus is google's phone so they will make sure the device can run their OS as it should...

Strauss, with my galaxy player, when I change the "pixel density" all apps simply scale to the new resolution.

Advantage would really be the ability to do split screen multitasking etc.

Agreed, Samsung annoys me with the upgrade gap.

@Greypatch
That price point is just so sweet man. I dunno I really tempted. And I'm a big none believer of Android until project butter and these quad cores saved allyih laggy behinds. A pure Android experience for under $2000tt fu, seems pretty legit to me. Plus the phone is gorgeous man.

Dan ah hear you...the cost overides the 16GB storage capacity and lack of sd card...

This phone could be a huge seller for andriod brand users (samsung, htc etc.) or 1st time droid owners.


I will hold on to my galaxy nexus for the while...

GREAT phone for that price...

No, Digicel. Worked fine until I disabled the sync sms option.

Please give us a negative review when you get it in hand. I can't bare the thought ofswitching to Android if it's any good... I give too much talk to fandroids over the years

I've just watched this video 7 times now. The Verge killing Engadget these days!

[slickrick777]

can someone help me out here...have an htc one x, tried flashing a custom rom and now the phone stick on recovery...what 2 do?

[Strauss]

It looking real good.
Google real subsidising their stuff. Sure they not making money on the hardware, but they will make it back on search.

Using the gaming consoles model.. ah well Amazon has that down with their Kindle business model.

For the S3 users having issues with getting their email to work through Microsoft exchange delete the phone from your email account directly on your PC, delete the accounts you set up on the phone, Factory Reset and after you run through the settings set up the account again. Hope it helps someone.

Guys, I've just picked up an s3 and I want to get a sim for it.


Can I just walk into the carrier of choice and get a SIM card or only certain stores carry nano sims?

Em correct me if I'm wrong but the s3 doesn't use a nano sim

uses a micro sim...which is more readily available than the nano sim.
