Is this being sold at a loss? An unlocked 16GB iPhone 4S is costs $650. If not, I'm impressed at the price point Samsung is able to achieve given the Galaxy Nexus's feature parity with the iPhone 4S. Which begs the question, why not spend an extra ~$150 per unit to really blow it out of the water, specs wise?

You can get a Nokia Lumia 710 for less than $200 unlocked without a contract in the UK.

Why the the iPhone 4S/Galaxy Nexus cost what they do I don't know...

Wow. I ordered an HTC One S a few days ago but it hasn't shipped yet. It was $549- $399 is a lower enough price that it is sorely tempting. And it's a Nexus device. The only issue I have is the size of the thing. Hmm. Are there any GNexus owners our there that can tell us about the size of the device? It's the one real sticking point I have with it. EDIT: For anyone else that's wondering, I looked up the refund polic…

It is quite large, but I never have trouble fitting it in my pocket (no matter how skinny the jeans). I find it quite comfortable for one-handed texting, and ICS makes texting much easier than earlier releases. Personally I think ICS will make a larger positive impact on your user experience than size could make a negative one.

Yes, the Galaxy Nexus is gigantic. I'm also pondering getting an HTC One S.

Was considering the One S, but I think the lack of NFC will be annoying in a year or so.

I have one and prefer the size. The screen is unbelievably beautiful, and I love watching Netflix on it while at the gym.

The _only_ size related gripe I have is when I am using it one handed and need to reach the upper left corner with my thumb. That's kinda tough. That and it doesn't fit in my skinny jeans.

You mean this, right on the top of the page? https://play.google.com/store/music Or maybe you were trying to make a joke about how the Music store isn't available in your country.

Wait, they already have that?

I had no idea. I'm in Britain, all I see is Apps, Books and Movies.
