If this is true, 5mp camera, I will be extremely disappointed.

So did 8MP just become the new standard?

Definitely. Droid Bionic, Galaxy SII, and iPhone 4S all have 8MP. So I would be shocked if Samsung didn't match those. The difference is very significant, it upgrades one's phone from being an impromptu camera to one that can really be used for everyday photography.

As for the battery, expect a 2050mAh one (do we hear a whoa?), which should be good for a couple of days use without charging.
2 days if you are lucky, with moderate data use.

Wasn't going to be released anyway until 10/27 or 11/03.  Hopefully those are still running on time because I'm getting awfully tired on my ancient phone!

Unless you plan on enlarging your photos 5 is basically the same as 8... It's not the megapixel ... We'll have to see what the rest of the specs are to know..It might be better than all the other 8mp cameras around

+1.  MP is no indication of picture/camera quality.

I'm kind've surprised Canon hasn't teamed up with a phone manufacturer to make a killer camera phone with Canon technology.

wouldn't sell another camera. Better idea for them is to make a phone. Just chuck in android & a few chips.

can anyone help me on this one, I dont know much about the US verizon technology just that they work differently - without sim cards. Can I upgrade to an iphone 4s and than use/sell in ISrael where it works with sim cards?

If its a worldphone (conflicting reports, probably is) and you can get it unlocked (will take time to either have it cracked, or vz gives you code) then you should be able to.

Looks like the Nexus Prime will launch on VZW as the Galaxy Nexus on/about November 10th at $299 with a 2 year deal.
Official announcement of the phone should be this Tuesday/Wednesday.
