Very nice phone, bigger than a Galaxy S II though which is already considerable in size.
Love the screen resolution, I'll wait until I see one in a shop before deciding.

I'm amazed that even with a 1.2ghz processor, Android is still buggy, laggy and unresponsive.
Half the time the pressed they screen in the demo video nothing happened.

I've used Android numerous times on numerous devices and never once has it been laggy. Symbian, 100% yes. Android, no.
Can't decide tbh, I don't think I could handle having a bigger phone than an S II which is already massive.

 Because nothing Apple has ever failed to work during a presentation, or a video 
Looks all right, but seems that we'll be looking at £40+ a month to get it free though 
Thought they'd do something special with the processor as well tbh, 1.5+

I never mentioned Apple
The camera is a bit of a let down along with the poor battery life. You'd think making it that big would allow them to also put a bigger battery in it.

But you're a fanboy so it is just assumed

iPhone looks and feels big because it's all square.
Desire S held next to it is about the same size, feels nowhere near as big though.

agree with the battery, but obviously bigger screen and better resolution uses more, so guess that'd be why on that one

Only when it's justified. I'm quite happy to admit when something else is better. Not upgraded to the 4S this time as was hopeing something better might come along but the Nexus isn't doing it for me.
Edit: I'll still withhold my opinion until my mate at work get his and I've had a chance to use it properly.

iPhone resolution is still better.
Android does make better use of the resolution though imo.

Higher res on the iphone is only any good if your looking at images imo. No point in having really clear but small text though. Still cant read it.
Only thing i am dissapointed in is the battery life. I thought the iphone was shit but my god! I'm on 55% already and not used it that much.
Might get the higher capacity battery and back cover to suit and see what thats like

See how there is more on screen with android than there is on ios, android browser is much better.
