Buy the Samsung Galaxy Nexus?

If you've already owned the Nexus One or Nexus S, chances are you already know the answer to that question and have dutifully placed your pre-order. The allure of getting the latest flavour of pure Android is temptation enough for many dedicated fans to purchase this year's Nexus device. If the volume bug is quickly fixed, this handset is a truly fearsome contender.

Make no mistake, the Galaxy Nexus is a seriously impressive handset. It trumps the Nexus S in every conceivable manner. That 4.65-inch Super AMOLED screen has to be seen to be believed. It offers a 720p HD resolution with unbeatable viewing angles.

The buttons at the bottom of the screen aren't actually buttons -- they're part of the display, and vanish when it switches off.
