I'm glad I didn't wait also. The last Nexus phone I had made by samsung (nexus s) didn't have any nice accessories that I knew of. One of the things I enjoy about the bionic, is all the neat accessories. The car dock is awesome.
Droid Life is almost certain that it is running a 4430 clocked at 1.2 since the 4460 is delayed and is supposed to run at 1.5. So same model processor. It doesn't have an SD card slot. Last but not least it may be pretty but Samsung can't make Moto's build quality. Everyone I know that had a Charge or Fascinate has had all kinds of issues with them. Verizon switched out all the Fascinates on my work's account to Charges for free and then all the Charge's to Bionics for free because of issues. Personally I dont think they can make a quality product.
If it is better than the Bionic I will just have to buy it.
The reason for that it the Nexus S released on Tmobile wasn't wildly adopted. When a top tier phone on VZW is released the 3rd parties take notice as the user base is much wider.
I guarantee I won't be getting a Nexus. I also guarantee that a better phone will subsequently be released. I also guarantee that a better phone will be released after the phone that's better than than the Nexus is released. Do you see where I'm going with this line of reasoning?
Agreed but you can't deny that ics is exciting...plus the phone looks damn sexy...from the side at least

With ther Bionic getting ICS as well.......What will be the MAJOR difference? The Bionc is pretty freaking fast and I belive the Nexus will have the same size battery so I can already see the my Nexus only last 4 hours threads in addtition to the tweaks it will need, just like the Bionic.
The Bionic will be a top 5 phone for at least 1 year so speaking for myself I'm going to wait until my 2 years is up and get T.H.E N.E.X.T B.E.S.T T.H.I.N.G....
isn't it conceivable that ICS will SLOW THE PHONE DOWN, just like some versions of the Jesus-phone OS had done? "NEW" doesn't necessarily mean FASTER--generally speaking, newer OS's means MORE FEATURES. If I never get ICS, I don't think I'm going to be crying my eyes out.
Yes yes yes... everyone wants to go to the "Theres always something better coming out in a few months" argument. And its very true. I'm happy with my bionic. I'm also a tech nerd and having now had a couple weeks with android and loving it, my nerd juices are oozing at the thought of the NEWER version, and also at having a device that will always be updated with new-ness. That excites me. Doesn't have to be a big deal to everyone else.
There's some things that have been starting to get to me regarding the bionic. Mostly minor bugs, granted, but things like the vanishing apps and pretty crap camera software and data switching weirdness at times, are pretty annoying. I know, every phone is gonna have some bugs that ARE fixable and the nexus will be no different. Additionally Moto's radios, as I've said, I believe will be impossible to top, and that is going to be a huge detraction from me wanting to switch.
All in all its just as I said earlier, I'm going to be paying close attention to the reviews and everything about the nexus and if I think its worthy to my nerdy genes to grab it, and if I can get a good price for my Bionic and not have to pay much out of pocket for it, I will consider switching. To each his own though.
BTW... LOL at the guy above who likened it to divorcing your wife every time a new cute young girl walks by.. You're not quite supposed to be stuck with your phone til death do you part. Do you feel everyone should have to patiently wait 2 years to be able to upgrade their wives?! lol
