Comparison between GNex and AT&T SGS2?

[chmcke01]

I would love for someone who has used (or preferably still has) both the GSM Galaxy Nexus and the AT&T SGS2 to do a comparison review or video. I am either going to sell my upgrade and sell my iPhone 4 to buy an unlocked Galaxy Nexus or just going to upgrade to the AT&T SGS2.

I would love to see a good review comparing the two devices because for AT&T subscribers most people are going to be choosing between the Galaxy Nexus and the SGS2 (or the Skyrocket, but I won't have LTE in my area until I am eligible for upgrade AGAIN so it really isn't of any concern to me...we don't even have HSPA+ yet where I live!).

So, if someone has already done this please post a link to it. If you have both and feel like doing a side by side comparison of the two phones I would really appreciate it!

I have a strong feeling some youtube reviewers will have this as a feature once they get their hand on the Nexus.

I figure so too, but most I have seen so far compare the Galaxy Nexus with the International SGS2 and not the AT&T one. I know they are pretty similar but I would still like to see a good comparison of both phones on the AT&T network, including speed tests on AT&Ts HSPA+.

Biggest difference IMHO is that the SGS2 doesn't have LTE, a 720p screen, a NFC chip, or ICS. Granted, the latter will come, but still...

I am referring to the International (or potential future AT&T) version of the Galaxy Nexus so neither has/will likely have LTE. Also, the AT&T SGS2 does have an NFC chip, it is just deactivated but can be turned on with an update.

So, then...the only BIG differences would be the screen and the lack of ICS on the SGS2 (which will likely be updated in the relatively near future).

I would still like to see comparisons of how each works on AT&Ts network. For example, even when not in an LTE area the SGS2 Skyrocket is still almost always a good deal faster than the original SGS2 even though theoretically they should be the same since there is no LTE coverage.
