Next week will see the unveiling of 'Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich', the first major version increase for a while. Coinciding with this release will also be Google's new phone, Nexus Prime by Samsung.
Current rumours for the Nexus Prime: - Dual Core 1.5Ghz - Possibly buttonless (no pysical buttons, only onscreen) - 4.6" display (SUPER AMOLED) - 1280x720 (720p) resolution - Curved design - 8MP rear camera, 2MP front camera
Rumours for Android 4.0 - Holographic user interface (basically 3d themes) - New launcher and richer widgets - Facial recognition (unlock screen with face?) - Google Chrome for Android.

The phone will have the normal buttons but they will be on the screen much like there current honeycomb tablets, so they will exist they will just be on the screen not touch sensitive buttons.

I'm trying to imagine a world where a phone can be curved. What am I missing here? I was planning to get a nexus prime, so I fucking hope it isn't curved...

touchscreen, but buttonless to me means no power button, no volume button like there is on the nexus S.

I got the Nexus S and the curve is very insignificant. I actually like it quite a bit that way.

i heard that the screen protectors dont stay on because of the curved screen, is that true for the nexus S users here?
Never tried myself, but when i got mine from a friend who works at a cell phone shop, she said she tried many times and couldnt get it to stay on properly
Interested, but only after it gets rooted and made mod compatible so I can strip out all the garbage the carriers put on there that ruin an otherwise good phone.
