Dual OS on the mini, go on you know you want to lol

Oh I wish that was possible! Would be perfect!

BTW the Nexus 4 is out (albeit sold out for now). Unlocked only from Google, and no LTE, but it's the latest Nexus phone and looks to be a winner. Super cheap too for its specs.

Its been done on the phone so no doubt possible on the mini

That was many moons ago I think. Without native drivers it's going to suck period!

Bootcamp for IOS dual boot with Android, never going to happen!

If you can't wait for the Nexus 4, the Galaxy Nexus is still a great phone.
More importantly, they're absurdly cheap for what they are. Kogan have them for $329 and I'm sure if you dig around you can find coupon/discount codes to drop that further. The money you save can go towards cases/screen protectors/extra cables and chargers etc.

The other benefit of the nexus phones is you always stay up to date with Android as they get new releases first.

Best tip with a GNex, make sure as soon as you get it, make sure its on takju or yakju builds (these are builds), if not get it to that straight away then enjoy software updates straight from Google, not from Samsung/Carrier which take FOREVER!

Piece-a-piss mate! Impossible to miss, but yeah wipes your phone so make sure you have a backup or a recent sync if that bothers you.

Sorry OP, getting a little OT here, what did you decide on? S3 Mini?

[XUV]

any opinion on the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 N7100 16GB

I must say that that nexus4 is tempting at that price

Not a problem, S3m is on top of the list at this stage, but I want to try and get my hands on one before pulling the trigga...

Good idea... Head to the biggest Telstra store you can find and have a play with the ones in stock. Good luck.

Just get a Galaxy Nexus - best bang for buck phone on the market IMO.
