How many of you are testing out the Nexus until just before the holiday return period ends, and then you'll decide whether or not you will keep it. Me personally I like the phone, I'm hoping for an update that might help with vibration strength (which if they fix my Bionic will be up on Craigslist or eBay). Battery life for me is good, right now 34% discharging 19h 11m 8s and counting on stock battery.

I staying with mine, but I was very happy with it since I got it. Now the phone is even better with a different ROM installed.

[xcalibur1011]

I can only imagine how much battery life I would get if I was to purchase the extended battery. almost to 24hrs.

[elvisgp]

I'm very happy with mine too. I would never return it for a razr or rezound. Plus 4.03 should fix any problems others have been having.

Sticking with it. Although a little worried about the phone rebooting when listening to music. Hope this gets fixed in the next update.

[Swavek]

I'm definitely keep mine! Of course, that's not to say that it's bug free. When I'm listening to music (PowerAMP) and I get a notification it causes the volume on the music to increase.
Occasionally, when I'm typing a text message (GO SMS Pro) and I receive another text message than I won't hear anything until after I'm doing with typing the message. I'm not sure if this is a problem with GO SMS or the Nexus.

Both of the issues are when using a 3rd party app so I would think its the app needing a update.

the thought has never crossed my mind to return the nexus. although with the constant data outages Verizon is having, if AT&T offered the Nexus right now I would think long and hard about returning this one for a GSM version with or without LTE.

Nexus is not perfect but a keeper! So glad I sent the bionic back.

My device is flawless!

I've ready returned mine and opted for the Rezound. I'm glad you guys are happy with your GN I wish I could had said the same. I get much better signal with the Rezound than the GN ever thought of. Where I'm at work now I can get 4g where the gn wouldn't get 3g and barely even 1x download speeds are 5-6x faster and dBm levels are 20+ better on my Rezound.

I'm 99% sure I'm keeping mine. If I do decide to ditch the phone, I'm going for the Rezound. My gut tells me I should have gotten it to begin with (like fate was giving me hints by delaying the Nexus), but I do love this phone. The only thing that scares me is the onslaught of "problems" people seem to be experiencing. I have yet to have a problem, but am fearful that the problems will begin on January 16th...

[sho95#ac]

Well I will make up my mind by next week. Its a great device but with sound quality being sub par to that of my previous devices and speed being terrible meaning I barely see 4g in this divide where i used to see on my Thunderbolt all the time. The Bluetooth sounds terrible on my car or any device hooked up to it.

[JoJoCal19]

Sadly I returned mine and ordered an iFail 4S but I am keeping an eye on this forum to see what the next couple of software releases do because I loved the phone other than the camera and signal compared to the iFail devices. I want to pick it up as a secondary device when the device has matured.

I never thought I would consider returning this phone when I took the plunge., but I am on the fence. A little because I don't want to be stuck with a buggy phone for two years and a little because I had unrealistic expectations for ICS. I've never been a fan of the Android because I've never really liked the UI. Thought ICS would change my feelings, but I'm not liking it as much as I had hoped. It looks a lot better, but it's still feels like all of the other Android devices I have used. (Meanwhile, back at the ranch, my low tech wife has no problems with GB on her Fascinate and gets off by telling her Linux Lovin, Open Source programing husband to get an iPhone!! Arrg!!!)

Battery life for me has been decent, probably a little better than I expected actually. The GN will cook the battery when you use it hard, but it sips it when it idles. It's fine for me. Even though my phone has been a little buggier than I was expecting, nothing that has been a complete deal breaker. The thing I'm most concerned with is not getting an data in an area that my 3G phones never had an issue with. Still, I figure a firmware update or LTE network advances will probably take care of that at some point. Hopefully sooner than later.

Outside of jumping ship to iOS or going back to my "getting really old" Palm Pre Plus, there really aren't any other options on Verizon right now IMO. My gut feeling is that I end up keeping the GN. (There is no way I can let my wife see me with an iPhone!!)

[davidb72]

Already returned it. The 4G network isn't ready for prime time.

The phone itself is great, but losing data once a week is a no go for me.

[Ken7]

A bit troubling that (as of this writing) 25% are either returning it or considering returning it. Pretty amazing for a device that got so much hype only a few weeks ago. (:

It will be interesting to see how this poll evolves as more vote.

I waited for ICS before leaving BB because I really hated all touchscreen phones w/prior Android versions or even i phone. I think ICS addresses most of my issues..I was able to pick it up and figure out most of the functions, find it is the most user friendly of anything I've tried. My voice quality, volume are fine for me as I do most of my talking w/a bt headset, and my music w/noise cancelling headphones.

However, the network/4g issues are abominable. Clearly it;'s not just the GNEX, it's all phones have have 3g/4g. I am using this for my business and need reliability where ever I travel which is why I have been w/Verizon all along. I hope they figure this out and make changes to the network or update the phones to deal w/the data issues. If they don't by the end of the holiday exchnage period, I might have to hold my nose and trade it in for a 3g only set.

I admit I'm on the fence also. Not about the phone overall, just this version of the phone (VZW version). I probably wouldn't feel this way if I had not bought the GSM version also.

I may offend a few people but the GSM version seems/feels like a true nexus phone. I see this especially when I use the GN official update app recommended on here. "Update by Google" vs. "Updated by Google but needs final approval from Verizon"

Other than the volume bug, which I never had because of the quick update, the GSM version has been pretty good. The signal strength is superior in my home, it doesn't randomly reboot, the battery last a great deal longer and, it just seems smoother overall.

I will most-likely keep the Verizon model but, still hanging on to the GSM model also. I will be driving around the city to check the coverage of both phones. I never had a dropped call on T-mobile in my city. T-mobile also has a very nice small business plan with unlimited everything for $49.99.

Hopefully after the update to 4.03 I won't be as much on the fence anymore. I do like the phone and the 4G speeds when I'm out in the city. I've read on here ( and other places) so much how Verizon is the best network for coverage and this makes me want to stick it out with this phone also. At times it just feels like I'm getting ripped off and not getting the full experience of what I'm paying for.

[Edwill86]

got mine the other day to to replace my Tbolt..needless to say this thing is staying with me! what little bugs iv seen holds no candle to the ones on the thunderbolt.
