does NFC widely used? or maybe in 2-3 years time?

yup i think so too, i believe the mass usage for NFC will take longer time

so my question are? (this is my first time to consider smart phone)

Should I go on a contract basis?
Will the phone without a contract much more feasible?

You got your point right there sir

This I do not understand, care to elaborate more?

If you were watching the news in the world of Android yesterday, you would have seen two phones and a major software update announced. Both handsets instantly became the new cream of the Android crop, but only one of them will be launching with the latest version of Android. That, of course, would be Android 4.0′s flagship phone, the Galaxy Nexus. But the other phone, the Droid Razr, won’t have to wait long to get the update, as Motorola announced today that the Razr will get Android 4.0 at the “start of 2012.”

During the European announcement of the Droid Razr in Berlin (known simply as the Motorola Razr outside of the US), Moto’s senior V.P. of portfolio and product management made the announcement that the extremely thin smartphone will be updating to the new firmware. As both phones are set to launch in November, a January (?) OTA update for the Razr would have it getting in on the Android 4.0 fun only a couple of months later than the Galaxy Nexus.

Of course, these will hardly be the only two phones getting the update to 4.0. Two Android execs, Gabe Cohen and Matias Duarte, confirmed earlier that the Nexus S and the Nexus One will be getting the Ice Cream Sandwich update. They also said that they expect that most Gingerbread-running handsets will be receiving the update as well.

The Droid Razr and the Galaxy Nexus could be creating quite the dilemma for Android users looking at an upgrade. Though the “Nexus Prime” (which ended up being the Galaxy Nexus) was what got all of the pre-announcement hype, the Razr caught a lot of people off guard yesterday. Not only is it the thinnest smartphone on the market (discounting its hump), it supports LTE, packs a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, and has a stunning display.

While both phones go toe-to-toe on most specs, the biggest differences lie in a few key areas. The Razr is thinner, has more megapixels in its rear camera, and even shoots 720p video on its front camera. The Galaxy Nexus, meanwhile, has a larger display with a higher pixel density, is packing an NFC chip, has on-screen menu buttons, and gets Android 4.0 out of the gate.

Another thing to keep in mind is that Samsung execs said today that the LTE version of the Galaxy Nexus will be “a little thicker” than the HSPA+ version that was demoed in Hong Kong. Is “a little” a fraction of a millimeter, or 5mm? We’ll have to wait and see, but if you’re looking to snag a Galaxy Nexus on Verizon, your phone may not look quite as thin as the one you’ve been seeing in promos. For the record, the Razr is already a bit more svelte than the HSPA+ model of the Nexus (7.3mm to the Galaxy Nexus’ 8.9mm).

This is a good time to be an Android fan. All early signs suggest that you can’t go wrong with either of these phones. Racking your brain over two amazing devices is the good kind of problem to have, right?


So as I'am new to android world (planning to get RAZR), should I wait for Ice Cream Sandwich

NICE!

Where did you bought with that price, wondering whether to wait for Maxis model or just buy the unlock model
