Played with this phone at future shop and I think I prefer the look and feel of the gsII better, might just save some money and get that instead.

Picked one up today, can confirm Bell ones come unlocked.



Edit: Initial impressions, I'm used to big phones (see below), but I must say this phone is borderline too big (I know reviewers are semi-mixed on size). I do a lot of running/hiking in the summer with a phone in my shorts and this would probably be bulging out like a mofo

dam looks nice.

however the upgrade offered over nexus s just isnt enough to justify the switch (also that i got the nexus s like 2 month ago lol)

I guess ill wait for the next google phone

Yah it's just a BIT too big for me, had the gs2 before, and even though i got used to the size of that within a few days, that seemed to hit the sweet spot for me. The nexus is JUST perfect by itself, but with a case (barely-there) on, it feels oversized.

BTW the Case-mate barely there case is made for the verizon (LTE) version, so the fit is bit loose. Will probably return

no microsd slot, just like the last nexus. Which = no usb mass storage. You have to use some MTP mode, which doesnt support multi-transfers.

USB. it just doesnt support usb mass storage. In simpler terms, you're forced to use MTP. The layout is pretty much similar to regular mass storage mode, but you can only have one transfer going on at a time. On macs, it tends to crash sometimes.

Ahhh. I thought it might have meant going back jdm phone days where I'd have to use windows media player to transfer songs.
