I dont even care if custom roms are out, i want rooting for my free wifi teathering! the phone will be good enough without custom stuff for at least a month or two, heck, I may not even bother with a custom rom if its sick enough. You almost have to wonder what a custom rom can add that ics didnt? probablly plenty...

I tend to not read into the reviews too much, the same as with movies(I'm a movie-holic). Everyone is different and it's not likely that the reviewer and yourself are very much alike, so he might like something and you may not and vice versa. I'm basing my decision on is it better than the OG(my current phone), I think it is, larger screen, OMAP4460 underclocked to 1.2ghz, 4G LTE, guaranteed updates from Google, 1080p video, ICS. This is why I'm going for this phone on top of the unlocked bootloader(which the OG has too). In two years I'll be doing the same. I have my wants and needs and as long as I don't hear that the phone is a complete failure(bugs galore, not better than my current phone) then I'm sure I'll be happy with my choice.
Ooh great...I just love the comments about color noise in the display, bad camera quality, bad battery life, crappy battery door clips, and bad speaker noise. Sounds like a great phone! Did Samsung intentionally do bad in ALL these areas? Jesus Christ...I can never ever win with the phone I am interested in.
Instead now I get to keep the same crappy camera quality of my DX and get to keep hearing about the iPhone's wonderful camera and everything else! Yay! Also, cant wait to be disappointed in the end about the diaply and speaker and battery life, no SD card, etc... But I've invested too much time in looking up this phone and waiting for it to pass it up...guess Im a loser....

Dude don't believe everything you read on the internet. Who knows if the guy went in with an open-mind, he could very well be a fruit(Apple lover). Also he gave the phone an 8.6/10 after he ripped into the G-Nex so it's another contradicting review. So just chill, I can point you to some better reviews if you'd like.

I just love the fact that peeps are freaking out over slight issues and its not even over the Vz variant of the phone. the phone we will be using hasnt been released yet. Even if it was, i would have to say that ill take those issues more then the issues i have with my D1. The benefits outweigh the cons with the GN.

yea guys dont freak out... its just, like ilikemoneygreen said, one persons opinion. and he obviously didnt like android going into the review and he actually said it was the best smartphone he ever used. he comments on the bad screen (which is false) the tough to take off batter cover (...) and the bad camera. besides for the best smartphone comment, he really downed the phone. im not taking it seriously, and i wouldnt even take a great review seriously, although they are nice to hear/read.

I liked that review, he seemed to agree with everything Josh said and wanted to bring a critical view towards the phone as a reviewer should. The phone has received a lot of hype as the premier smart phone and the main contender towards the iPhone 4S during the holidays. An informed buyer wants to see both sides of the fence, those looking for the good and those looking for the bad. It was an review where he seemed to be searching for flaws which as I would expect some reviews to do.
That said, I've read the same thing about the battery back in other places and it is a concern for me. I am always pulling/replacing batteries in my OG droid to the point that I have actually became pretty efficient with attaching/detaching it, so it is something that I will be looking at. Obviously its not enough to make me consider another phone, however.

Literally every other review I've read or watched, has had the complete opposite opinion about the screen. In fact they rave about it. More recent reviews from those that have it long enough to give a legitimate assessment of the battery have been quite favorable. So this is odd. Perhaps he got a faulty unit.
I don't kid myself into thinking this phone will be perfect, but there will varied opinions.
