Is it available anywhere in Lebanon yet ? Do you guys advice me to buy it online or wait ?
Well, it isn't here yet. I bough it three weeks ago from the UK.
I advise you to wait, you will pay a large sum at customs... Also the galaxy S2 and note are very close to it (and have better GPU).
If you want android 4, a developer phone (with quick software updates) and a bigger screen then get a Nexus. ICS is also well optimized for it.
so if i order it online, I'll have to pay extra when I receive it ? (customs..?)
how much do you mean by large some? approximately.
just get an S2 and update it to ICS,im not sure the galaxy nexus has hardware upgrades over the s2,and i think s2 can run a pretty decent ICS,when will we be able to update?
Perito wroteso if i order it online, I'll have to pay extra when I receive it ? (customs..?)
how much do you mean by large some? approximately.
it depends if the customs hold it or not! The sum can be between 50$ and 150$!!
the sgs2 is still samsung's flagship.

galaxy nexus has a higher res screen. other than that sgs2 is better.
Nexus is a Google phone not Samsung.. It is only built by Samsung but all softwares updates come from Google. Sgs2 has a better GPU and camera, Nexus has a higher res screen.
So in a way, Galaxy nexus is Google's flagship phone while the S2 is Samsung's flagship. :)))
5 months later
Anybody how much the Nexus costs now ?
It costs a bit less than $410 now.
The Galaxy S3 launched today in the UK. It outperforms both the S2 and the Nexus with its quad-core CPU and 2100 mAh battery.

Wait and see if prices drop because of this new flagship phone from Samsung.
Limited quantities of S3 at amhaz sold for 860$ a piece starting 16gb. Next shipment coming soon.
The price will definitely drop down to 600-700$ in a month.
Its was released in Dubai for 680
I think it's not going to take long to drop to 600$.
My Favorite Android now is HTC One. Great looks and performance.
We're getting off topic guys..
