My favorite thing about my nexus hardware wise, is the lack of hardware keys. Soft keys for the win. Just plain sexy.

That, and the embedded LED. Pimp.

Ever since I went into the att store and played around with the Note, I have been enamored with this phone. Some may think its huge, and yes it is, but for the size you get an absolute joy of a screen. One of the most essential assets of a phone is the screen, both clarity and size. (is why I hate the iphone) I like how this would substitute for a tablet. This may be too big for some and who likes holding a pop tart to their ear?

The thing is I don't want to go back to gingerbread. Not sure if there are ics roms available or not. Plus I am in the hardcore rooting romming camp and the 3rd party development scene is not there for this phone.

So while I would love to have a Note, the shortcomings are a deal breaker.

I do that alot. One downside of having no badging/insignias on the front.
Even though I pick it up upside down, I wouldn't trade the clean look.
