I dont think this person has ever held a smartphone before. so frustrating watching someone repeting the same actions over again and not showcasing the functionality of ICS. At least use the multitasking button!

So far looks good :)

FC much?

Submitted by jetsaredim on October 18, 2011 - 19:32.

Yeah, exactly what I was thinking.... Hopefully is just an app thats not ready to go yet. Like something from the market that doesn't like playing with ICS yet.

Submitted by Jet300 on October 18, 2011 - 19:35.

I don't think those were FC's, they looked like certificate errors or something.

Submitted by Jason Syn on October 18, 2011 - 19:42.

was just about to say this. FC errors have only 2 options. Kill or Report. this had 3 options. Probably, No/View/Continue. Probably clicked the browser and got a bunch of certificate errors.

Submitted by gujupmp88 on October 18, 2011 - 19:49.

Actually there is a force close option with 3 selections, Force Close, Wait, and Report. Its the time out FC.

That's sweet. I want ICS on my Xoom.

Submitted by ricardor973 on October 18, 2011 - 20:04.

That was just amazing, silky smooth movement around the OS, super thin as well. Gah why did my Storm 2 have to die so early and make me get the Bionic! >.<

Submitted by fargles on October 18, 2011 - 19:40.

I like the OS as a whole but I loathe that hideous teal color that rear's its ugly head in the different apps.

Submitted by seanp666 on October 18, 2011 - 19:42.

I loathe those extraneous apostrophes that rear their ugly heads in forum posts.

I'm slightly worried now...Droid Razr is looking better than this.

NOOOOOO!!!! It's private..... :(

In the time it took to post this article no one thought to copy it? Wasn't there an app in the list of "Android Central Editors' app picks" for this week to copy Youtube videos? Way to stay on top of things.

Submitted by violent23 on October 18, 2011 - 20:01.

calm down people, in 1.5 - 2 hours you will see it straight from Google/Samsung...

Submitted by gujupmp88 on October 18, 2011 - 20:02.

Never mind.. I saw the whole thing. Just a weird way to implement the buttons.. looked like a double set.

Submitted by Timokreon on October 18, 2011 - 20:07.

I have it cached in my Boat Browser before it was pulled. So I'm still able to view it on my Android phone. Can't find a way to save the file though.

I saw the clip before it went private and it didn't wow me. I was on fence about picking up a SGSII or the Galaxy Nexus. I will still wait to hear the details of the Nexus tonight but based on what I saw in this vid I am strongly leaning towards picking up the SGSII tomorrow. I'm on T-Mobile and the wait for this on Tmo may not be worth the wait... I'll know more in T-Minus 1 hour 50 minutes...

Submitted by mgiusto on October 18, 2011 - 20:10.

Nuts, I heard him say "funf" megapixel then also heard him say "ach" megapixel. That doesn't clear things up at all!

Submitted by youareme7 on October 18, 2011 - 20:21.

I can only affirm!! They spoke german and they said that the camera was only 5 Megapixel instead of 8 Megapixel!! o.O

Submitted by DetunedNoise on October 18, 2011 - 21:18.

I thought the Chinese know how to film better than that!

Submitted by Masheen on October 18, 2011 - 20:24.

so... funf or arch?? (5 or 8 in german)
some german people around??

Submitted by pantos on October 18, 2011 - 20:24.

Yes! They said in german "Surprisingly it's only 5 Megapixel instead of 8"

Submitted by DetunedNoise on October 18, 2011 - 21:24.

Im not very impressed with the vid. Once my gs2 gets ics i wont feel like i got the wrong phone

Submitted by patsydamico on October 18, 2011 - 20:27.

Thus nothing more then a hyped up stripped down galaxyS2. Put both phones side by aide in store and S2 will out sell it by a mile. Google should have stuck to there guns and made a pure devoloer phonejust like original nexus.

Submitted by moosc on October 18, 2011 - 20:28.

How is this not a developer phone?
plus it's an upgraded version of GSII cuz you get raw android and actual timely updates.

Submitted by jrenner on October 18, 2011 - 21:13.

--Accidental double-post--

Submitted by jrenner on October 18, 2011 - 21:13.

This phone corrects the largest problem with the GS2: Screen resolution. The GS2 is an awesome phone but 800 X 480 is just not enough little dots for that size of screen! The HD resolution is going to be awesome. The only thing that makes a developer phone is that it's vanilla android and that IT'S THE ONE USED BY DEVELOPERS. That's it.
