Its not that people hate Froyo, just like anything new that comes along people want to give it a shot and see what its all about... GB does bring a few new perks and seems to run faster in many respects..
Gingerbread Release Date

I think its a rule somewhere in the Pure Google handbook, if you own a Nexus you must root it.... LOL (Just kidding..) But seriously, the device is meant to be so I'm sure you will end up rooted eventually.. Took me about 5 minutes after I walked in the door with it....
As far as ICS SDK Port is concerned, everything is working at the moment minus bluetooth and 4g. Those may have to wait a bit... Theres a couple other oddball things not functioning but that is just the result of being a SDK build and not everything being available in the SDK dump. It even appears as if we might have a custom kernel soon too support OC and all the goodies
See you soon on the other side ....

What methods are there to root the Nexus? Are there One-click-roots and via ADB or Terminal?

oh... Now you're interested too???
I think there is one click root... Qbking77 has videos.
Trying to figure out his name... Was he a quarterback and born in 77? Was his HS jersey #77?

Both actually... I use ADB, its very simple... Done in about 5 minutes or less...
Yep qb has videos... Its very simple on the Nexus...
I was just wondering so I know there is a solid chance that the Galaxy Nexus will have a one-click-root method as well when it comes to Sprint. I want a phone that lasts me 2 years since this will be my last 1 year contract and I'll have to make it count.
I'm waiting to go to Gingerbread until the official release. Then hopefully someone will do a pre-rooted but otherwise 100% stock version I can install without wiping any of my stuff, like the 2.2 EC05 one I found, which works great.
That was quite nice to have. Then I just installed Superuser and the stock apps remover and started nuking the bloatware I had no use at all for, while keeping a few things I do use.

That EC05 prerooted Odex package your speaking of was done by my fellow AC adviser using my system dump. Its the only one I knew of ever out there that didn't do a full wipe because of what he did to the Odin package.
I'm not sure if you will be able to find anyone else doing that again.
Nov 07 already and nothing no gingerbread.... can someone please post as soon as they get the OTA so we anxiously wait until we get our turn lol thanks guys.

Well I did just check Sprint's site and I guess the EOL (End of Life) as originally slated back months ago for October isn't sticking...
Epic 4g is still up there for sale and at $99, so I guess they are still supporting it and that still gives hope for that eventual GB update...
If Sprint had removed it from the online store I might be thinking a bit differently...

The Epic4g was listed on the LTE papers as one of the 4g phones being sold still until Sprint starts to light up LTE in cities. I'll try to find the link that shows it.

Interesting.... I still like this phone... I love my Nexus but I still grab my wifes Epic and play around from time to time...
Yeah, by the time GB rolls out for this phone, I'll be on something else. Kudos to the guys in development that get Gingerbread working on this phone better than Samsung.

I gotta throw in a vote for the NS4G. This phone has really changed the way I do my day to day business. For my Epic, I had a charger at home, in my car, in my office, and in my clinic for quick charges when necessary. I have to hand it to the people who developed Simply AOSP, because that was the best ROM for my phone at the time. But it was that AOSP look that really made me appreciate the AOSP in general...and that's what the NS4G provides.
I rooted and installed a ROM on day 2, and I haven't experienced a crash yet. Had some FCs with Oxygen ROM, but no FCs for Bugless Beast. Smooth phone. Went 27 hours recently (forgot to bring my charger on an overnight stay in a hotel).
Love it.
...on the other hand, it would also be nice to have 4.5 inches of Epic Touch Goodness!
I just saw a post on the main site an announcement from Sprint regarding which HTC devices will get ICS. If HTC can give this information to Sprint and in turn Sprint releases it, why is it so difficult for Samsung to do the same? Why do they insist on their standard scripted response of we are unable to speculate if/when the update will be release due to the fact it may cause confusion or inaccurate information? Is Sprint or Samsung truly waiting for Google to say go ahead and release the update? I guess I don't quite understand why the Epic has to sit at 2 major OS versions behind and why there is just silence from Sprint/Samsung (except for the source code which was released for two days before being pullled).
Is everyone on this site still asleep? Source is back up on Samsung's site and there are already odexed and deodexed ei22 flashable .zips on xda taken from a dumped refurb. (No ei22 modem as yet but it's a start right?)
Still, no mention of any of this on the site claiming to be the source for all things android? Odd.
