Oh...lol.

Try M6P2K2 :)

Holy Crap! It has Earphones?! That come in the box?!?! Craziness!!

Anyway, get it! If you don't like it I'm sure that Staples in Canada accepts returns.

Thought this was good here for the convo.

Good call my man. Yeah I'll give it a go...

Galaxy Nexus is even more outdated.

You are recommending hardware without knowing what SoC is? Its the System on a Chip, the main chip that includes the processor, GPU, and sometimes the RAM and cellular modem. The GNex uses an older OMAP SoC which has never been bleeding edge, especially compared to Samsung's own Exynos or Qualcomm's Snapdragon chips. The Exynos Dual in the GS2, the Exynos Quad in the GS3, and the Snapdragon S4 or Nvidia Tegra 3 in the HTC One series are VASTLY superior chips.

It's not very noticable for sure, but once you see it you can not unsee it...

I personally wouldn't care, but people buying these high specd android phones like to be on the bleeding edge of technology and this is definetly not the best screen they could have used.

Really though Samsung, why not super AMOLED + tech?

AMOLED has hit a wall in terms of how many subpixels they can stuff on single screen, and a 720p RGB screen is too many subpixels to have good enough yields.

lol at "Designed for Humans".

I have to say, looks pretty slick but really besides the upgrade to the quad core chip and a slightly better screen, its very similar even ergonomically to the GS2. For now I'll stick with my GS2 for another year (not that I have a choice due to 2 year contract) and if they come up with an awesome GS4 then I'll probably snag that.

GNex has a slightly worse CPU/GPU and cameras... yes.

However, it has a better screen, better battery, better software (no touchwiz).

Even if S2 was on Verizon, I would have picked Gnex over the S2 any day.

I was recommending it from a Consumer sort of view not a Tech Master (You) sort of view.

Same number of pixels, just the GS3 has a bigger screen and doesn't have a funky curve. The battery size may be bigger but we don't know the battery life yet. The Exynos 4 is a 32nm part, the OMAP 4 is a 45nm part and the Gnex has a power sucking 1st-gen LTE chipset. Software is definitely a plus of the Gnex, but the Verizon version still doesn't get timely updates and Touchwiz is the best skin, and the new GS3 version of Touchwiz is a lot more stock-y than previous versions, just adds more color to Android. 

And the Gnex doesn't have a MicroSD slot.

That seems to be becoming the trend.
