Every once in a while, a phone comes along that changes the facile industry forever. Whether it's by design, features or a conspiracy of both, those rare handsets can stand out far from the pack and give the world something new and something very other. The Samsung Galaxy Nexus is not one of those phones. Certain, it's groundbreaking and will even incite the occasional gasp of awe — but like a gymnast having a bad day, it honourable misses the high bar.
