I really want the Galaxy-Nexus, but do I want to leave Sprint for it ? Normally Verizon has poor choice of Android devices, that don't interest me at all, where as Sprint has been the #1 Android carrier in the U.S. lately. This year alone they got the Nexus-S 4G...EVO-3D...Photon 4G...Galaxy S II...
And Verizon got the Thunderbolt ...Bionic ...Droid # 30 or whatever version they on now
I feel the Galaxy-Nexus is like a Galaxy S 2.5, yes it better than the current Galaxy S2 mainly due to the new ICS, and better HD screen, but that's about it, but the Galaxy S3 is said to be out a little earlier like Spring 2012, which will be a HUGE upgrade.
So my options are to leave Sprint now for the Galaxy-Nexus, or stick with Sprint, and maybe get their Galaxy S2, and root and hope for ICS ROM And then I am sure Sprint will get the Galaxy S3 pretty quick too ?
I currently own a rooted Nexus-S 4G, like the phone, but really want something with a larger AMOLED screen, and a bit thinner.
I'm already a VZW customer so I can't speak to whether or not it would be worth it for you to switch carriers just for the Galaxy Nexus. In my opinion, that's something only you can decide.
As for the device itself, a lot of people are talking about how the specs aren't as good as they should be, or that Device X is coming and it's going to be better than the Galaxy Nexus, etc. etc. What detractors seem to forget is that, at the end of the day, this is a Google experience device. That means no bloat, no skins, and no carrier interference from an updates standpoint. Just pure ICS, the way Google intended. That, to me, is huge. This iteration of the Nexus will be the best Android device until the next Nexus comes along (in my opinion).
