I don't get it... Samsung also announced one for the S3 but still no trace...
It's really weird?

Its not embarrassing, same for me. Wireless charging is very cool and having that lovely orb on my desk will be even cooler.....c'mon Google!

IMO, they should sort the availability problem first, as there's still not enough phones, and the cheapest you can get it is >500€ (about $660 usd) in some countries.
That's maybe what they are doing atm, they release the Orb when the not-in-stock situation has settled down a bit..

Well, I suppose that is made clear by the use of the word "yet."
That's pretty cool considering it goes under the battery cover and is from Samsung. It isn't a case or some other external addon that changes the size of what's in your hand.

Exactly as described, no scratches, nothing missing. And I would say, a little over 2 weeks?

I'm going to do the same thing I do with all of my other phones...use it . As far as making reach its full potential, I'm waiting for a bad ass custom ROM to surface. Once the boards are riddled with new ROMs that really push this hardware, thats when my fun really begins. For now, I'm going to run stock for a couple months to give the development community some time to cook up some awesomeness.

I really like JBs new style, and Google Now looks great. If there is a nexus device based on this hardware that would make an almost native porting environment I would be crazy happy!! A guy can dream can't he?
I would have bought a GNex but this hardware is just in another league,

What case are you planning on buying? My sister wants to put on a cell phone charm as well, but the only cases that have a cutout for the lanyard are Samsung cases that we've found so far.
Actually...I liked "Take over the world"
Buying more accessories for it than I need. Cables, cases, batteries, chargers, screen protectors, etc... till I figure out which ones I like best and use most often, then the rest will stay in a box as spares.

[Q] Odd weight...?

I used to have the 16gig Nexus and recently got the 32, I know this sounds crazy, but the new one feels heavier. Am I the only one?
You should delete some stuff from the sdcard. That should make it lighter.

We have 3 nexus in my house a 16 gig, 32gig and a 32gig with 3g and they all feel the same. Did you buy your first nexus from Google when they first released? It may be that since those were first run parts something may have changed on the newer ones

The phone is smooth and very responsive. The blink feed is nice as well. The front facing camera is best I've ever seen. It has the capability to be used as a tv remote. The aluminum body felt great and not cheap in the hands. I have the note 2 and think I will buy this phone as well. The list of new features goes on and on. If they can get proper advertising, this phone will be a great success for htc.
