Bump-to-share, & data monitor, I wonder if Engadget will remember to also praise that in their N9 review
Hmmm....
Might wait longer & see of another handset OEM does something better than Sammy for ICS

Moto Razr

I like it how moto always has a nice suite of accessories

I don't think carriers demanding this is an issue in Oz, won't be an issue for long anyway

Samsung Nexus

The only significant hw improvements I see over the SGSII are: Display, NFC module(?), barometer, 32GB
Anyone know how much of an improvement the CPU/GPU are over the SGSII?

Interesting that the writer says:
but we're finding it mighty difficult to choose a favourite between the Galaxy Nexus and the GSII
I'd expect the Nexus's display to be very clearly better?
I wonder if it'll be better or worse than the SGSII camera-wise?

In ICS 4.0 I see many parallels with Harmattan now, but the knowing will be in the using.

Apparently most Android 2.3 devices will get ICS
http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/19/g...wich-for-real/
Although when exactly, is still very unclear…

Here's a comparo between the Razr and the Nexus
http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/18/s...e-tale-of-the/
Nexus uses the OMAP4460, & the Razr uses the OMAP4430.
I wonder if we'll ever be able to put some Harmattan goodness on there!
I'm inclined to err more towards the Razr, but need to see/use both 1st.
The Nexus has an advantage in that it'll have ICS at least 2mth before any other top-end Android ph's.
Even unbranded/unlocked ones....

Anyone know if the NFC transfer stuff Nokia does, does everything listed here?
http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/19/a...ity-data-exch/
*transferring webpages
*contacts can also be swapped, along with directions and even apps -- well, links to apps.
Touch one phone to another and it'll bring up the entry in the Android Market, sadly no direct pushes of APKs.
*The NFC circuitry in the Galaxy Nexus is indeed built into the battery, not the backplate (same for the N9 right?)
LOL
