Do you Nexus owners have Galaxy S3 envy?

I use Nexus phones for the stock android experience. A nexus device is what Google baselines their Android development on. I doubt you'll ever see a Nexus phone that has hardware specs that completely out gun what the OEMs release. Given that, the Galaxy Nexus has been working well for me and am now excited to be running JB soon.
 
Check again today, and see what the forums are going ga-ga over.

I'll give you a hint...I have it on my phone right now, and it's NOT a GSIII.;)

Yeah. My tune has changed entirely since posting this thread. Since the JB announcement, I see the wind has changed direction here.

Simultaneously, RIM delayed BB10.

I'm getting a Nexus tonight at Rogers.
 
Nexus all day. I love it. Its a great phone. Jelly bean is sweet. I'm just not a fan of any custom skin. I mean either way you can't pick a bad phone. U could be into rooting and get the s3 and put a custom ROM on it. And have pure android. Or just get the nexus and have updates asap. But devs also update there custom ROMs very fast. So either way its a win win. No envy tho.
 
There is no choice. Many people just haven't understood it yet.

Check this article: "Buy Nexus", particularly the security issues and the last chapter.

In short, all non-Nexus or non-AOSP devices are inherently unsafe to a frightening degree.

Note that some manufacturers have begun to issue Nexus-like devices, for example, the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1v?no bloatware like TouchWiz, just standard, stock Android. The fracturing of the market is biting back.

That said, I find the Galaxy Nexus (and similarly the Nexus 4) much more beautiful anyway. Its clean, buttonless design is hard to beat. It is a beauty. The Galaxy S3 looks ancient in comparison with its odd, single hardware button at the bottom, almost Apple-like, not to mention the additional potential failure point in a hardware button.
