I would expect the update to come this month and it might even be 4.1.

yes i agree, google don't often make a fuss about minor releases so would not be surprised if someone here gets an update before any press releases. to be fair apart from a speed boost which is rumoured im quite happy now chrome beta is out as i needed a spell check for the browser soooooo bad! and chrome uses the stock keyboard checker which works a treat for me

The only problem i find with chrome is that it doesnt work with any video clips have to go back to the andriod browser to get them to work.

ok not really seen that issue, often clicking on the video will take you to a choice between browser / chrome / youtube

Am I the only one getting slightly impatient for the next release?

So what's the latest version then...I see 4.0.3 but my Nexus says 4.0.2 :rolleyes:

new to this android biz

*EDIT* read back...I follow it now!

str · 4 Mar 2012 at 19:24

Is there much to look forward to from the 4.0.3/4.0.4 updates already released?

_Jimlad_ · 4 Mar 2012 at 20:44

i hear it gets faster and smother

reflux · 4 Mar 2012 at 22:04

Been running 4.03 for a month or so, it works fine. There are a few improvements and changes here and there but nothing massively noticeable.

_Jimlad_ · 4 Mar 2012 at 22:13

No speed bump ?

Difficult to tell really because it's a custom ROM (Codename Android).

Im currently using a Blackberry but i'm getting fed up with it so looking to change to something else.

I had a Samsung Galaxy SII and didn't particularly like Android that much back then and the TouchWhiz was awful. Unfortunately no shop near me has a working model on display and I always take reviews with a pinch of salt.

So could those who have it please give opinions on:

The screen quality and resolution
Performance of the phone, slow downs, hanging etc...
Improvements in ICS, is it much better than previous
Phone build quality (i know it's plastic)
Size, is it incovenient, too big etc...

I know a whole host of quad cores etc... will be hitting the shelves very soon but I just don't feel it's needed and for me pure Android has a massive advantage over manufacturer skins.

Basically are you happy with it or would you in hindsight have waited a month or two to see what the other have to offer. I've seen things like HTC One X and it doesn't do much for me, also Galaxy SIII I expect to have another awful TouchWhiz interface.

i had a SGS2.

the nexus has a pure android feel, one i would hate to lose, i plan to *try* and stick with the nexus range now. ICS is great, nice and simple and not loaded with *****, build quality is better than the SGS2 and has more weight and less plastic. screen is the best around and size is fine for any man
