do i need to install samsung usb drivers

@atm743 You can do that on stock Android without rooting, as long as your carrier hasn't removed it. If they do, you may have to root it, but then it's as simple as getting a free app from the Market.

awesome video. i plan on getting this phone (once it hits the market in the US) quick question. being that I'm not used to android (yeah iphone user i know) do you know of any way to do wifi and usb tethering for free (without paying extra) im used to my iphone 4 jailbreak and MyWi but if i can do the same thing on android ill jump on android.

@koudelkaa true but beware oem unlock and lock wipes devices

@NANOTECH5000 source.android.com/source/buil­ding-devices.html there you go, all explained there with a simple guide from googles android team

@NANOTECH5000 eh, I assume this nexus phone is same as the others. just fastboot oem-unlock or whatever and it will be unlocked. I think you can lock it down again by fastboot oem-lock.
