1. Here's the PC World review

http://www.pcworld.com/article/246481/samsung_galaxy_nexus_review_sleek_and_speedy.html

One of my co-workers was assigned one for a week (he's an iPhone user) until it flew out of his jeep and lost it. He said he liked some things about it but preferred his iPhone. That's about as helpful as I can be on the subject.

12. He sounds like my eldest son.."Gonna drag you into this century Mom, whether you

like it or not." Very funny and like you, I'm gobsmacked. I can't even post a pic here but enjoy DUers offerings so don't feel the need. I'm old, what can I say...LOL.

13. yup yup yup. so what did i do? i text EVERYONE in the house, repeatedly, while we were a room

away.

3. I've got one.

It's a pretty nice phone. Really good screen. What would you like to know?

5. my hubby bought me an iphone this christmas

does it do stuff the iphone doesnt or are they pretty much the same thing

7. Well, depends on what you want to do.

The Android platform has a lot of flexibility that the iPhone doesn't in terms of what apps are available, and getting out of Apple's walled garden. But chances are that if you're not familiar with the operating systems, you won't necessarily know whether you need the options.

It sounds like what you really want/need is more like a review of the Android platform, particularly the new 4.0 version that the Galaxy Nexus is running on.

6. its the screen isnt it? that is what people are liking on it.

[TheWraith]

8. It's a full HD screen, larger and sharper than any other phone.

4.65 inches, 1280 x 720 pixels resolution. In comparison the iPhone's screen is a 3.5 inch, 960 x 640 screen. So a lot more room and also sharper.
