I bought mine on release day here in Canada, does that count?
Upgraded my blackberry on release day. Christmas came early when the president told the rep to charge it to the corporate account.
Loving it.

I am! I bought it for myself! Was supposed to be here Thurs but Fedex delivered to the wrong address so I got it this morning (thank god!)
I decided it's so close that I'll wait until xmas morning to open it.
Thanks Santa!

I got one for Christmas today, awesome phone.

I just ordered one on Amazon! I had the TF201 pre ordered but decided I needed a new phone instead. Can't wait
I bought mine 5 days after the UK launch as an early present to cheer me up after putting up with a service that had been going downhill for the past few months.
Moving from Orange to Three was a tough decision as I'd been with Orange for years, but it was the right one and I've not looked back.
Merry Christmas to those lucky enough to get a GN today. Here's hoping my girlfriend likes her Samsung Netbook..

Got it on Friday. It's awesome, love it! Battery life is kinda ****ty due to the awake bug.
I will be getting one too but there's a possibility I get a SGS II. Hope for the GN. I've already started to follow the GN forums.
Sent from my X8 that is soon going to be replaced with a Samsung Galaxy Nexus/S II
i got it on the 15th as my top gift to myself
Got one for myself this friday
I wanna get one a soon as i find one to play with in the shops, any recommended shops to find an unlocked one?
I only played with the s2, still cant decide which one to get....

I'm due for an upgrade in the near future but unfortunately the Galaxy Nexus has already been around for a while. I don't want to end up with another Dinc situation where I get mine a year late, all the good devs leave and we have little support left.
So do you think (Opinions here people) this phone will still be worth getting when I upgrade or should I go with the next big thing?
A new nexus should be coming out by the end of the year, so my answer would be no.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
Depends on the price. This phone is still a nexus and will get the next Android version. The specs for the GN are more than sufficient over the long haul.
Last years nexus has a more up to date version than my current Nexus.

Yeah we will be impatiently awaiting the next nexus. But on the other hand this is a good phone and will serve a lot of people well for a 2 + year life span.

I had my Nexus in hand by November last year so I'd say no do not buy the current one.
The phone is still awesome..... Get it!

If you can afford better then there will be better available by November... in fact there will be better available in a few weeks time when the galaxy s3 comes out.. you won't have to wait until November to find something better than the gnex

Last Nov, the Nexus S was still around $400 on Amazon (still same price even today ). Hardware wise, this GN will be in better shape comes this Nov than the Nexus S was last Nov.
When the new Nexus comes out, it'll be in $650-700 range again (unless Google decides then to also sell the new Nexus at $399), so this current one at $400 is still a great deal.
Come November I would get the new Nexus.
As others have said... we'll see the next Nexus device in November. Galaxy Nexus will be cheap and still good (enough) though.
The phone will be a year old. Wait for a more recent release.
I think Google needs to stick with imagination technologies gpu's. For lots of reasons, including an apple one.

This phone will be fine by November. Plus, if rumors are correct we won't see a Nexus phone this year, but rather the Nexus tablet. Jelly Bean is said to have "game changing tablet optimizations".

I would wait for the next Nexus. The GNexus will still be a good phone but is kind of sad to see your device outdated one month after you bought it.

Please don't get it just wait for the next one. I got mine just now cause of sprint just barely got it and is the only android phone that appeals to me right now. But if the next nexus doesn't come out on Verizon then maybe you shouldn't get it but if he does then yes wait for that one

Nexus 4 will potentially be released around Dec./Jan. so Id hold off. By then the GNex will have dwindled down to Tier 2 hardware.
Hi poeple!!
Came to say hello...ohh...ohh...ohhohhhhhhh....
Last week, after some research and comparing to One X made my decision for Gnex after 2 years owning a HD2.
What a beauty! And great community/custom kernels/roms on xda
Love this phone

Welcome, it's very refreshing to have a new owner come in and NOT say "why does my GN suck compared to my ______"
I've had mine since January and couldn't be happier.

You know, I love mine too. But my friend (who converted me to Android from the dark evil hands of Apple) is having a torrid time with his.
He loves Android and had always owned one, but this is the first time he's absolutely hating the experience. his device reboots at least twice every day (he's on stock, but he tries a lot of different apps) he did so in older phones too but never faced this problem.
I love my nexus and will never give it up, but let's be honest, the build is just not stable for prime time. Not every ones lucky with it.

I bought this phone 2 months ago and then bought 1 for my lady a month later. The both of us couldn't be happier coming from the T-Mobile galaxy s2. I can't find a reason to flash a rom or kernel yet as I can't imagine developers being better that GOOGLE themselves ya know what I mean
Sometimes a phone is more then the sum of its parts or specs. I believe this phone is great example of this.

Just got my Nexus yesterday and coming from the Droid X2 I can tell you it's very relieving knowing you're in good hands.
All of this positive talk is helping me get over the "sticker shock". Lol

The sticker shock happens but it is much easier to swallow when we buy 300-550 tablets with accessories. Anyway I have had mine a week form the play store its been awesome. Coming from T-Mobile galaxy s 2. Much nicer and smoother.

Sold my Nexus 7. The Note 2 is a mini tablet with 3g/LTE without having to pay sprint any more unnecessary monthly fees. :good:

Just sold my N7
I haven't touched my A500 at work since I got my Note 2. I only ever used my tablet at work and now I don't even use it here.
Guess my sister's wish for a simple tablet will be fulfilled this X-Mas!

Gave the N7 to the wife along with my old G2. Good combo for her since she doesn't want to lug around a sizeable Phablet. I love the note 2, good fit for my needs.
I made a poor poor mistake in buying an unlocked Galaxy S3 when my Galaxy Nexus crapped out on me. I've had it for a week & now its back in the box, as it just doesn't feel "right". I'd happily give up my new GS III for another Galaxy Nexus so I was wondering if anyone knows of any reputable places to get a new/used Nexus at a reasonable price? Unfortunately Craigslist isn't very active in my area, so that's a no-go. Any insight or help would be appreciated!
P.S. I boxed my new GS III so my inbox is open for any type of serious offers
eBay, Craigslist etc.
Op, you might try the classifieds or whatever they call it here on XDA.... Unless I'm thinking of Rootzwiki.

In a one week span I sold VZW Galaxy Nexus, HP Touchpad and Droid Incredible on Swappa and purchased a GSM Galaxy Nexus with no issues at all. Everything is smooth and they are top notch. Don't waste your time at all on eBay or get gangbanged while meeting someone from craigslist.
The prices include the $10 buyers fee so honestly, what you see is what you pay. Couldn't be happier with them.

I appreciate everyones suggestions so far -- To the people PM'ing me: I appreciate your interest in my S3, but I don't appreciate having time wasted - When you tell me your "interested", ask numerous questions & then just disappear, its a massive waste of your & my time. For those that's curious, it's a T-Mobike branded Marble White 16GB S3, however its been fully unlocked to run on & support AT&Ts HSPA+ network also. There's not a much as the smallest imperfection on the phone. Like I said, I'm open to any sensible trade involving a G-Nex, but prior to even Coming, you should already have some definitive idea of what you want to do.
I have the OG Droid RAZR with grandfathered unlimited data on Verizon. My next upgrade is in May 2014. A local retailer has the Verizon Gnex at only $430 (full price, new.) So I am asking Gnex owners whether you would spring for the Gnex now, if you were in my position, or wait one year to see what's available then. I like my OG RAZR, but the Gnex is appealing to me.

You're better off waiting, the galaxy nexus is showing its age and is quite likely to lose its official support from Google soon.

You could go on craigslist and buy a used one in good condition for half the price of that. And u will be OK till may. 430 bucks for a phone that's that old is ridiculous if u ask me.

Mm alright, To answer your question: don't buy the Galaxy Nexus. It's a great phone but it isn't worth 430 dollars - anymore.
430 is nuts. Buy one from here if you really want one.

$430 for a Smart Phone is just unbelievable, I personally don't know what I'm going to do when I want to get a new phone ( I currently have a Galaxy Nexus with Unlimited Data). I guess I will be a couple generations behind and wait a good year and a half. I can justify buying a smartphone for $200 dollars. You can actually buy a new Galaxy Nexus on Ebay for $200.00 I would do that if you need a phone right now.
I appreciate everyone's advice. You have some very helpful people in this forum!

Since you like your current phone and not in a hurry; I'd say wait for the Nexus 5. It's unlikely to be revealed on tomorrow's I/O but should be released by November or something, and should come with Android 5, So it's worth the wait and I believe you could get an unlocked version from Google Play Store for less than what you are willing to pay at the moment.
like the person above said, I suggest you wait until the next nexus comes out in November. Plus, $430 for the galaxy nexus is outrageous and you could get it for $200 in craigslist or ebay.
