After writing a novel that was not originally intended. The point is if you are considering the Nexus, get it. Read on if you wish.
So I was making the jump from Sprint to Verizon. I was tired of having no signal or very bad signal strength in areas that clearly should not have issue. So when the Nexus was announced it thought that was the phone i would get. I put of switching for a couple of months. Then I started to consider the Rezound and the iPhone. I started to read all this negative complaints about the Nexus. I was reading on the Rezound forum about how people switched within days/week from the Nexus to the Rezound. So I started to lean heavily to the Rezound. Until I started to read about all the negative/complaints about the Rezound. So now I am looking solely at the iPhone which the forums have very limited complaints. My only complaint was the screen size, which I was about to be OK with. I forgot to add that I would have been coming from the Samsung Epic on Sprint. Which I was for the most part really happy with. But previous to that I had a Palm Pre which I loved. Back on track(not really). I started to realize that I really did not want to go to a smaller screen size. So I spent a couple weeks going on the different Forums here for Rezound and Nexus. I was also keeping track of deals on the two phones. I was starting to lean on the Rezound again. I decide since I have only played with the Rezound once and never a live Nexus that I could not make a real decision. So I needed to go to the Verizon to check them out in person. First the Rezound which was nice but not impressed. Then the iPhone mainly to get a feel for screen size. Then the Nexus. I hit the windows button on the bottom right corner. SOLD. I had flash backs of WebOS. I liked the Nexus more than just that button as well. I went and ordered it that day (not from the Verizon store). I have had minimum issue (updates should fix) but nothing like what seems to have spread through the forums. Between the Nexus and mainly the Rezound forum I almost did not buy the Nexus let alone an Android. Some people may say that I like ICS and that is why I bought the Nexus not necessarily the phone itself (I do like the phone too) and that Rezound or whatever will get ICS too. I did buy the phone because of ICS. ICS is what sold me the phone. Just as my the Pre hardware sucked (went through 5 phones in 2 years) WebOS is what I loved . After playing briefly with the Nexus I was sold on ICS and I was not about to buy the Rezound and wait month(s) for ICS.
Well my point became lost in a story I was not trying to original tell as stated at the top. But rather than delete it all I left it up there. My point which is mainly directed to anyone consider this phone. Get this phone. There is a lot of people on the forum talking about problems with phones in general but realize 2 things. 1) This is where you can come to learn the good, the bad and the capability of these phones. 2) All phones have issues but not everyone has those issues with their phones.
I am glad I got the Nexus and I am sure most people here will agree.
Below this post might be some hating, if so just ignore. They are waiting for ICS.
