I have been reading up on both and, while you might think this was a no-brainer in favor of the Nexus, there is just enough to give me pause. Here are my thoughts:
1. I prefer HTC builds to Samsung. I like phones with more heft and I hate "plasticy" feeling phones.
2. I am not worried about Sense because I will immediately put LauncherPro on it, like I have with my current Thunderbolt.
3. The camera seems seriously better on the Rezound.
4. ICS will come to the Rezound early next year, or at least a CyanogenMod version will come. I have no problem rooting and ROM'ing.
5. The screens are comparable, some saying the Rezound is actually the better screen.
But, there is also the concern of not getting future updates in a timely fashion, and I would love to get my hands on ICS sooner rather than later. The extended battery sounds great with the Nexus as well.
Lastly, I could buy the Rezound now, test drive it and if I don't like it, swap it for the Nexus when it comes out (presumably within the return window).
Any thoughts?
