Specs are hardly impressive...nothing new there...

TRAG!C · 7th December 2010, 8:36 AM

Now the question is how do I buy it? Bestbuys policy says they won't ship to know mail forwarders

Not really. I mean a lot of the end user enhancements are just rip offs of what HTC has been doing for a while... However the NFC and new development stuff should be nice.

I think Google should look to start standardizing things though. I mean the situation with what version of the google os phones are running will get out of hand soon if they don't do something about it.

This is a Galaxy S with all the shit from sammy removed and hopefully the lag fixed as well as adding in camera flash. I'm planning on selling my Galaxy S and getting this. I also would like to know where to buy it from.

Bit iffy on the curved screen though..

I'm looking but can't see it...

Hummingbird processor dude, 90million pixels a second compared to the nexus ones 22million as wlel as being on the 45nm fabrication rather than 65. Super AMOLED screen as well, you can actually see shit outdoors.

I'm suss on its video recording abilities, the current galaxy S can do 720p, so far they've stated the nexus s can only for 480p for some reason.

There is no SD card slot either.

And reviews of it have said the case is cheap and plasticy.
