I ordered a Galaxy S 3 today. I just couldn't deal with the terrible battery life anymore. Even with 4G turned off, brightness all the down, and proper app analysis I am getting less than 5 hours on my 2100mA extended battery. The camera is the other big reason.
After having a couple of Verizon S3's in house for testing, and seeing the unbelievable battery life, and the great form factor I pulled the trigger. I use Nova Launcher, so TouchWiz won't be much of an issue. Since it appears JellyBean is already in the works for the S3 and it doesn't appear eminent for the CDMA Nexus I don't feel I'm losing anything there. After seeing the less than impressive leak for the next Nexus I didn't see any reason not to do it. Of course in November when the announce the real specs I'll probably be crying, but oh well.
For me, battery life is key.
*edit* Oh yeah, and after the buy back and contract discount it's only costing me $70.
