I was waiting and waiting for the Galaxy Nexus like most of you. When comparing the two phones I decided I preferred the Rezound's screen with more ppi. The Rezound screen just looked sharper at all brightness settings. The phone's camera was important to me since I like to take snapshots of the kids, and when comparing shots taken on the Rezound and the GN the GN camera was mediocre at best, while the photos on the Rezound drew oohs and ahhs for it's crispness. I decided I liked having a 32GB removable SD card making the Rezound a 48GB phone vs the non removable 32 GB on the GN that is not mountable as a mass storage device. I personally don't buy a phone based on the sound it produces, but I will say that the $100 I got selling the earbuds that came with the Rezound on eBay was a nice bonus. Another very important factor for me is battery life. Every single 4g phone eats batteries up like no tomorrow (literally, your phone won't last till tomorrow). I like that the Rezound has an extended battery available that boosts it's power to 2750mAh. With this extended battery the Rezound lasts from 6:30am till Midnite when I go to bed, and I still have 3 out of 10 bars of battery power left. If I don't put it on the charger at night there will still be power left in the morning. Keep in mind I use the phone heavily, brightness on high, downloading apps and streaming videos, playing games, having long conversations talking and texting. Lastly, although the Rezound is thicker, especially with the extended battery and case, it feels so solid and well built. The GN really does feel cheap and plasticy. The Rezound feels much better in my hand, and one handed operation is easily accomplished, whereas the GN feels to thin and wide to hold in a natural way.
To summarize, the Rezound has a better screen, better camera, more storage (thats removable), better battery life (with extended battery), better build quality, and feels better in my hand. Will I be returning it to by the GN? No, I'm not into downgrading.
Some people will say they prefer super amoled pentile display to the slcd display. Some people will say they don't care about the camera since they don't take photos with their phone. Some people will say 32GB is enough storage. Some people will say battery life doesn't matter since they are always somewhere to plug in. Some people will say they prefer thinness of their phone, and are willing to sacrifice build quality to achieve thinness. To those people I will say, Enjoy your Galaxy Nexus!
