Samsung Galaxy Nexus 4.2 5 10 10
it is clear and easy to read i have had the phone about a month I have found most of the features easy to use. one thing I am not happy with is the highest volume setting could do with being louder otherwise it is nice to handle good size clear sceen. i had purchased a nokia lumia which I found a nightmare to use and the font size far to small. 21 November 2012
brill! had this for a couple of months, moved from a rubbish motorola defy. Its fast, easy to use and very reliable! :-) The £21 a month on vodafone deal is the best out there too! 13 November 2012
Great size and feel Having moved over from a San Francisco phone on Orange this phone is much more user-friendly - the screen is a great size and now that I understand the basic functions of the phone it is easy to navigate and access. Although it is marketed as being a large phone it really isn't unwieldy and the whole screen is available to use. The sound settings get a bit of getting used to and the volume can seem quite low but that is my only negative. It has seemed very reliable. I'm very happy with this phone and have done far more with it in 1 month than I did with the last phone that I owned for 2 years. 02 November 2012
Hmmm It's a lovely phone but trying to connect to the Internet is a task and a half! Phone doesn't connect most of the time which is useless for an android phone! Defo would not recommend this phone 02 November 2012
Excellent Very pleased so far,easy to manipulate, home signal excellent (vodafone not good here )with Vodafones white box. Easy to load music and connecting to various sites. 24 September 2012
Best phone I have ever had! I have just recieved the phone from Phones 4U. I love it so much! It looks good and the pure android experience is a visual treat. I can't even put the phone down it has so much to discover. Sent back my iPhone 4S for this one and I have to say I don't regret sending my overpriced iPhone back! This is the phone to buy right now everyone! It's great and I love it. There are a couple of reviews on here that do scare people but I have to say they are not that dramatic! This phone does get quick updates from google. It is a slightly different model from phones 4u but it gets updated only a couple of weeks later than other models. Great phone with a juicy processor. 28 August 2012
Fantastic phone, but...... This is a great phone. Be aware that this is not a normal Nexus phone. The one Phones4u sell is a special model that is NOT updated by Google, Samsung get in the way and cause huge delays. Google for the yakjuxw version and you'll find many people complaining. The idea of a Nexus phone is quick updates. Avoid this like the plague. 04 June 2012
Much better than Samsung GalaxY S2 Been using the Galaxy S2 for just under a year now and got bored of it, especially the cheap plastic frame which was starting to "peel" around the edges where the paint was chipping off. Decided to go for a Nexus device as I had a HTC Nexus One and it was brilliant. I'm pleased to say, this phone is also brilliant. The screen is massive without feeling like your holding a huge phone, the design and build quality is excellent. Still has a flimsy thin plastic battery cover like the S2 but it feels a lot heavier and solid than the S2 in general. Haven't had any problems with it at all, it has better signal quality than my S2 did, I used to have to be close to a window in my house with my S2 where as this works wherever I am in the house. Also camera has downgraded from 8 to 5 megapixel but you would not notice the quality, in addition, the camera is instant so no waiting around for it to focus like the S2. Curved screen is lovely to feel, its very subtle but its definitely noticeable. The best thing of all.... Android updates before everyone else! Oh, one last thing, battery life has been excellent. I used to get into the daily routine of charging my S2 every night, it would normally be between 20 - 30% after 24 hours average use. Even with heavy use, my Nexus has lasted much much longer, I just 'top it up' each night now as it rarely gets less than 50%! If anyone is having signal or battery problems, I would advise they ensure they have all the latest updates as these fix a lot of the problems which early adopters of this phone experienced. 24 May 2012
very good handset for first on ics good screen loads of features very reliable made even more so by the recent updates does whatever you want it to just what you want from a smart phone 09 May 2012
waste of time Dont buy this phone. the previous version galaxy s11 is much better, or the later version galaxy note is of equal quality. It kept losing signal as did a few of my mates. 24 April 2012

Answer: 
Pretty much all android handsets running 2.3 or above will allow for wifi tethering to 3g. However the phone itself cannot be used a wifi router.

There are no manuals included in phones anymore, however if you google "Samsung Galaxy Nexus User Guide" you'll be able to find many guides to help you find your way around the phone.

I am a little confused - can it be confirmed as to whether or not it is a special model, please

all of the vodafone 24 month contracts mention data and wifi allowance, the (only) 12 month contract says it has 500mb data but says nothing about wifi?
