Are there any apps that you can't download or can't update from Google play... like Google Maps for example, it might be installed on your device but does it show up in Google play when you search for it? Any idea if you will be able to update it with a newer version of Android?

my first question would have been, can you root it?...

It came all set up in English and no obvious bloatware....

So far, no apps that I have had problems with...

Just downloading google Maps now to test for you...

No definitive answer on when 4.2 will be available....

Apple is meant to be sexy, but is Android so desireable one wants to root it?
