Phones4U has indeed acquired a two-week exclusive of a sort with the Galaxy Nexus in the UK, with the shop chain claiming it is, and we quote, “…the only independent, multi-network stockist of the Galaxy Nexus for two weeks from the date of launch.”
We think that oddly-worded mess of a sentence means that other indie phone chains can sell it from today, but only if they offer it tied into one network – and can get stock out of Samsung.
Which would explain why Carphone Warehouse is only selling the new Nexus on Orange contracts at the moment. What a weird exclusive.
CASE CLOSED.
Motorola’s latest flagship dual-core Android monster is a massive, original powerhouse, that’s a big improvement on previous MOTOBLUR mobiles – but still isn’t a total winner.
A slim and glamorous phone from Sony Ericsson, with the sharpest display around. It’s no powerhouse and the screen’s not the biggest out there, but we don’t mind. Because it’s cute.
LG’s first glasses-free 3D phone is a heavy, fat monster, with a clever 3D effect that works rather well. As a smartphone, though, it’s heavy and underwhelming.
A very shiny thing from Sony Ericsson, with a 3.7″ screen and Android 2.3.3 inside. But is it exciting enough to win fans in today’s spec-obsessed market? Can man live on one core alone?
INQ’s Android phone is an interesting “boutique” piece of hardware, packed with unique interface customisations that go far beyond the headline Facebook integration. We like it a lot.
