Its screen measures in at 4.7 inches with a 1,280 x 768 pixel resolution, an 8-megapixel camera situated at the device's rear, a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera, as well as 3G support, wireless charging and NFC.

    Since when did the UK use dollars?

    Other than that, there are two things that piss me off about this:
    1)No microSD slot. It's stupid, and probably wouldn't even cost $0.05 per phone.
    2)1280x768 still seems to be much the same resolution (1366x768) as comes on every notebook under $800 / 17". Please give us at least HD+ on a 15" screen. It's not that hard.

    I know #2 isn't about the phone as such, but it irritates me that it even counts as "HD".

    While I agree with your point; technically 768lines is HD.
    Basically everything 720p and above qualifies.
    Then of course, the first 4k displays are shipping. So, we want that next :-)

    Is it pentile or not? Whoever came up with pentile needs some kind of beating.

    This phone is okay but I don't know, I think I still prefer my Galaxy 3.

    IndignantSkepticIs it pentile or not? Whoever came up with pentile needs some kind of beating.Only Samsung uses Pentile, and the screen is made by LG and it is probably the best display on the smartphone market currently(same as optimus g screen), go read reviews on the optimus g screen

    and samsung had a very good reason to use pentile and it was quite smart of them to do so, I wont explain why though it would take me too long

    The Nexus One was amazing, The Nexus S was a very nice evolution of the original, The Galaxy Nexus was somewhat disappointing but over all not actually a bad device, Lets hope the Nexus 4 gets them back on track.

    Looking good so far but I'm still not anticipating anything looking much better to me than my S3 for a while to come.

    I just wish they'd release these for Virgin Mobile.

    wannabepro - I bough my last Nexus phone from amazon and went contract free - much better and cheaper over two years.
