back to article Samsung offers Galaxy Nexus pre-orders through Phones4U

Samsung has begun taking advance orders for its Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich-based Galaxy Nexus smartphone. Or, rather, Phones4U has, but it's the supplier Samsung is flagging up on its Facebook page, effectively making the yoof-centric chain Samsung's official Nexus seller.

    Personally I refuse to pay over half a grand for a mobile phone. I am sure I'm not the only one.

    Phones for you!

    I would rather get an iPhone than buy a phone from Phones for you.

    Lower specs than the Galaxy S 2 so what is the point in this phone other than it running ice cream sarnies?

      The Nexus does have lower-spec front and rear cameras than the Galaxy but it has a physically larger screen (4.65" vs 4.3") with more pixels (720x1280 vs 480x800) and support for LTE (although that isn't much use in this country just yet).

    Phones4u page updated

    Clicking the "Pre-order" button on the Phones4u Nexus page now takes you to a list of available Vodafone / Orange / O2 tariffs, you'll be coughing up £41p/m if you want the handset for free, or if you don't mind paying £59 up-front for the handset then you can bring it down to £31p/m.

    It does seem a smidge overpriced for its spec, but that's the standard bleeding-edge tax. My contract is up for renewal next week, I was holding out to see what the Nexus pricing was like, but instead I'm now hoping that the demand for the Nexus might knock a few quid off the cost of a Galaxy S2 instead.

    Wouldn't go near those jokers if you paid me.

    Who pre-orders a phone without seeing it in person? Possibly the same people who buy a used car without test driving it?

    I still have no idea if it has a Micro SD card slot, before anyone kindly tells me one way or another I should add that I've seen claims in both directions.

    I did think about an S2, but I like the idea of moving the buttons onto the screen for a bigger screen without making the phone bigger.

    Back to waiting till the second half of this month.
