Yup, which is why its a great review. Shows what it does rather than ***** about no flash or OS bugs.
Always remember that Topolsky can't review for **** (although he has improved a teeny bit over the years). He's probably the most biased reviewer of the whole lot there.

I certainly believe that he holds biases, but the more I hear about the Xoom the more I feel the score he gave it was accurate. I feel that he inflates the scores of Apple devices, but gives Android devices a fair score generally.
I am a bit worried with the wonky buttons.
And I might agree with the Honeycomb user interface comments (not good).
Hope Google address this.
This was just posted on the new Evo 4G+ being released overseas soon. Basically like an Evo 3D, minus the 3D and with a 8MP camera instead.
I kind of wish Sprint released this as opposed to the 3D.

We have an 8mp camera already and it isn't even that great. The 3Ds camera is much better than our Evos. The 3D feature isn't so bad to me, you can just turn it off with the switch. I don't see why people complain about 3D. Just hit the switch. But this phone is pretty good also.

Because if not for the 3D, what would they have to complain about?

So an Evo 4G with a physical camera button, better cpu, more ram, better display, etc, etc, etc.
Seems... interesting.

You don't just 'hit the switch.' That 'switch' is specifically for the camera.

Right, so hit the switch and avoid 3D content, its pretty easy if you don't want to use 3D you don't have to.

Left, you might have missed the point; the 'switch' doesn't just kill 3D. Avoid 3D content all you want, you don't 'flip the switch' and it turns off. That's all I was saying.

Fair enough. All I was saying is no one is forced to use the 3D option. I figured anyone *****ing about the 3D option would likely avoid 3D content otherwise they would be a hypocrite. Thus, just hitting the switch takes care of the woes of anyone that is anti-3D.

I'm not denying that some people will get up on this phone for everything BUT the 3D, but that wasn't the point of the comment;
My initial comment was that 'hitting the switch' doesn't just 'disable 3D.' People keep saying that, but it's not the case. So, now, instead of being able to disable 3D, you should just avoid it? Sure, maybe that makes sense. No need to get all defensive over your phone of tomorrow. Was merely responding to someone else's comment. Not sure why you have to make it anything more than it was.
Yea I would get this if it were made available here. Pretty much doubles all the specof your phone except camera and a few other things. And a gorgeous screen to boot.... I'd get...

Indeed. I like the new layout for the camera they are using. I've never been a fan of the circular shooter's. Even the '3VO', and its dual cams, looks cooler. I'd be on this phone if it launched for Sprint. Sad face.
I have a feeling the HTC Kingdom may be a similar looking device. The only drawback, I think the Kingdom will only have a 1.2 single core processor.
Sent from my HTC Evo
Yeah it's supposed to be a single-core device. Or rumored as such, anyways. Haven't heard much info the phone since the early talk.

Megapixels doesn't necessarily refer to the quality of the picture. A lot has to do with the sensor.

So today I stopped by phones 4 u on the high street and had a look at the Nexus. I love the design but my God it is big. There's a pic attached to show you the size comparison. The screen is so much better than the XL but its a bit disappointing that it still has a 5MP camera when the XL has an 8MP Camera.
I've fallen for it and will hopefully have mine in my hands tomorrow Will submit a system dump asap. But still gotta figure out how to root it :?

Do you honestly need to take 8mp pictures? You do realize that MP is only the size of the image and has absolutely nothing to do with the actual image quality right?

Exactly....look at a picture taken with a very old Nikkon D40 and compare it with any size MP point and shoot, it's not even close in quality. This is like everyone complaining about the lack of an exynos processor, doesn't seem to have any lag in any video or review I have seen. Specs are fine to use, just need to keep them in perspective and use them appropriately.

Thank God someone else knows what I'm saying. The lack of understanding is just amazing to me. People should really do research before talking. As far as I know about the processor, that the processor its using can typically be way overclocked. Plus now that we have full hardware acceleration, things will run very very well.

TI omap 4460 is a 1.5ghz processor that is underclocked for the GN, hence it can be clocked to that for sure and probably up to 1.8 or so. They designed ICS to be optimized for TI Omap processors. Now, I am less impressed with the gpu that comes with it, it is definitely the lowest powered of the top mobile chips. This is a beast of a phone and I hope we see some news on an HSPA version in the US.

LOL. Yeah, it is big. I just visited that site vonapets url'd and compared all my current phones (N1, SGS, Nexus S, Galaxy S II, Thunderbolt, Droid Charge) to the Galaxy Nexus: http://www.phone-size.com/?s=12,13,65,7,85,3 , and it's not much larger, and actually ~25% thinner, than the largest of my phones (the Charge) which fits easily in my slacks and jeans front pockets. Someone wearing painted on jeans might have issues I guess.
The Charge and SGS II are just a little too large for my hands to use comfortably one-handed. My thumb can't reach the bottom left of the phone without putting it in a precarious balanced position. The big 4.3" screens are great, though. I'm afraid the new Nexus might cross that threshold of being to big to be practical for me, but I'll still probably get one. LOL

This attitude. Now that everyone has read a few articles on sensor technology it seems EVERYONE feels the need to school people on cameras.
Yes, it's true, MP doesn't have that much to do with it. But the Galaxy Nexus camera is piss poor. It produces results almost identical to the NS camera, which i feel was essentially the same as the N1 before it. Look how far mobile cameras have come in the HTC titan and the iPhone 4S. For a flagship phone in this price range, this is simply unacceptable. For Samsung, even moreso as the shooter in the GS2 is much better. No wonder people make the 5MP 8MP comparison.
People need to stop being apologetic towards companies, and start calling them out on their mistakes. The processor in the Galaxy Nexus is acceptable, but the GPU is really not up to par with today's superphones. The plastic case construction is an improvement over the fisher-price NS, but still cheap garbage compared to the designs of HTC and Apple, yet they charge the same price.
Enough. Stop trying to school people and school the companies instead. It's the only way we'll get better products.

I took one look at it sitting there next to the Note and decided the screen was too small. Now I'm happy waiting out Samsung on a fix and chugging along on cm9.
