Vodafone release bug free Galaxy Nexus

Vodafone have finally released the Samsung Galaxy Nexus smartphone a day after the official patch for the volume drop bug. Despite not admitting it, the timeline is a little too convenient.Available for 'free' on a princely £41 per month contract over two years, that is a fair amount to spend on the cutting edge handset. There is also apparently a £26 per month contract but that requires a £299 up front charge. Ouch. That's £984 over 24 months. Take my advice and buy one SIM free, Read more [...]

Galaxy Nexus Does Not Silence Critics

The “oh crap” moment came pretty quickly for some users of the brand-spanking new Samsung Galaxy Nexus this week when a bug raised it’s ugly head.

No Ice Cream Sandwich for Nexus One. And Google comments on Ballmer. Sort of.

The Telegraph reveals the planned upgrade pathway for owners of the Nexus line of Android mobile phones to the new Ice Cream Sandwich version of Android. Yey! for Nexus S owners then. Unfortunately, the HTC manufactured Nexus One is too long in the tooth and will have to spend its days languishing on Android Gingerbread. No Ice Cream Sandwich for you.
