Earlier quoted context omitted.

You have somewhat proved my point in that some how 'pixel density' is often used as the go-to stat. It makes no sense to hold this in higher standing than the actual pixel count-- nobody is asking for smaller screens with the same resolution. Simply holding your phone further away would have the same effect as a smaller, more pixel-dense screen. Increased pixel density naturally comes with increased resolution, it is…

The subpixel count is about the same as the iP4 Exactly the same, 1280x720x2 = 960x640x3.

Which means that sppi is lower, since the NP has a much bigger screen.

Anyone from EU here with an information which online shop already has them in stock? Amazon.de says 1 to 3 weeks, meh.

They arrive in-stock on the 23rd to the majority of online retailers I believe. I bought mine from http://www.unlocked-mobiles.com/sim-free-mobile-phones/samsu... and I have been told that I will receive it on the 24th.

Thanks!

No USB Mass Storage support on the Galaxy Nexus. Well, for us Linux (and Mac) users that's some bad news.

Really ? That's your dealbreaker ? MTP has been supported for long time on Linux… Just tried it on gnome and kde, no problem. BTW, MTP has great advantages from an engineering PoV: you don't have to use a crappy FAT filesystem on your eMMC. You don't have to give full control over an essential piece of storage to another OS, so you can continue accessing data/apps installed on the storage.

I don't know which device you tried with Linux but Galaxy Tab 10.1 is not working on my Linux even though every library and package related to MTP are installed.
