Yes, Optus are going hell for leather on new 4.65″ cult that is Galaxy Nexus and are looking to grab exclusivity as soon as possible. That’s according to Austroid, who cite ‘sources’ who say Optus are looking to nab exclusive carrier deal, ahead of Vodafone and Telstra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Optus was non contactable at the time of writing and no formal word from officialdom as to when Nexus is hitting Down Under, although, Vodafone have confirmed they will stock the highly anticipated Nexus.<\/p>\n

One HTC Desire S user I spoke to yesterday could not contain their excitement for the new Galaxy, announced last week by team Google and Samsung.<\/p>\n

“It sounds like my ideal phone, when I read the specs I was like when can I get this phone.” (So, its bye bye HTC, then). <\/p>\n

So how Prime is Nexus? Samsung’s new Galaxy Nexus<\/a> sports 4.65 inches of screen with 720 x 1280 pixels on brighter than bright AMOLED display, potent 1.2GHz dual core processor (same as Galaxy S II) and 1GHz of RAM<\/p>\n

Oh, and running Google’s newsest platform – Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0, the tablet and smartphone combo OS.<\/p>\n

Other nifty Nexus extras include HD video chat via Google Voice and Android Beam, which lets Droid’s and Near Field Communicaiton capable devices  share contact information by simply tapping two smartphones together. <\/p>\n

 <\/div>\n

Galaxy’s have done well here in Australia with Samsung’s Galaxy S and S II expected to announce 20 million handset sales <\/a>in total, later this week for Q3 – beating Apple rival by 3 million. <\/p>\n

But its not just Samsung that Optus has eyed up – it managed to score exclusive on the wafer thin Motorola Droid Razr 2.3.5 <\/a>“Gingerbread”, out here next month. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
