It’s official, folks. The Samsung Galaxy Nexus has been unveiled to the world and while we pretty much knew almost everything there was to know about it, we’re still excited. The Galaxy Nexus is the first handset to launch with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and packs a mouth-watering specs-sheet. The expected 4.65 inch Super…
The Motorola RAZR has been officially announced and it’s certainly one doozy of a phone. The handset is packing some very high-end specs that should satisfy the power users of the world and is kept in a terribly thin body. First up, the RAZR is a mere 7.1mm at its thinnest point, which makes it…
