Just look through the forums. There's numerous threads about everything related to the Galaxy Nexus.

I can't say much regarding call quality nor signal but where I live and commute, there are definite signal blackspots (but not due to the phone). However when the phone actually has a full HSPA connection, it zips through downloads and *uploads*. Sure it might be as fast as some other phones or LTE but it's fine for my uses. Battery life is pretty average to be honest though with a custom ROM and kernel, you really do get a much better battery life (~3 hours on-screen time depending on how hard you use it). I've had 3-4 day standby battery lives though. NOTE: this was when I was using a 4.0.3 ROM.
It seems that Google has improved battery life in the stock 4.0.4 ROM (which I'm currently using).

Wrong. Galaxy Nexus > HTC One series.
Pretty self explainitory.
1) When Android 5.0 comes out, Galaxy Nexus will get it first before all these other phones.
2) Developer friendly. Bootloader unlockable via fastboot without any need for exploits.
3) On Screen nav keys.
4) stock android

It's okay. Sometimes I have a feeling people play devil's advocate on purpose for their entertainment.

I would say it is awesome improvement. Have you experienced any browser lag when opening any web pages? It's rampant, it seems, on T-Mobile phones but since the Galaxy Nexus isn't their nor has it been touched and molested by them I believe the lag is non existant. It's awesome. Go for it!

Well the Galaxy Nexus does beat the HTC One series in particular aspects (mainly development/software and the 'open' environment) but many people don't need those aspects so it's up to personal preference. HTC dominates the Nexus in terms of specs.
But who cares, I love the aesthetics of the nexus.

HTC still ships their phones with locked bootloaders. You have to unlock the bootloader via their dev website. But doing so, this will FULLY VOID your warranty and there is no way coming back because you have to provide HTC with your device information. I find this unacceptable. You can alternatively avoid this by finding a exploit to obtain root access etc etc etc.
On the other hand, with Nexus devices--it says that unlocking the bootloader will void your warranty but you can just flash back to stock and then lock the bootloader. They can't tell the difference, and honestly... warranty is only there for physical defects, most of the problems fixed by warranty aren't by software problems unless you brick your device.

Rezound Or Galaxy Nexus

I'm considering trading my Rezound for a GNexus. Worth it?

Yep if you're into flashing custom ROMs and kernels.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Rezound for sure, I hate my Galaxy Nexus. It makes me waste a lot of time by making me flash roms. And I hate too many options available. I'd say go for iphone 4s.

The only logical answer.

Get the Nexus. Far superior device.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA

I have had both and I say go with the nexus. Loved the rezound battery life, camera and lte speeds. The nexus is a lot more polished with ICS and will probably have better long term support. Even the stock rom on the nexus rocks!

While the screen on the Nexus is a work of art....
....it's not like the Rezound doesn't have a "just as good" screen on it!
Stick w/your Rezound. It'll get ICS sooner than later, and your battery will love you

The Rezound already has a leaked ICS build. Throw it on your SD card as update.zip and away it goes.
It really doesn't look any different though. Still the same status bar, icons, and sense. Some minor changes but the only real difference is split screen settings and ICS apps like Gmail. Email is a HTC app and so is the dialer.
Kinda sucks.
The Nexus has options and will get JellyBean come October where the Rezound will be end of life after ICS.
The rezound does grab a slightly better signal but its also a brick. The nexus is just super sexy.
Galaxy Nexus + extended battery > rezound (while being thinner). Although you can double up the thickness and get the an extended battery for the Rezound but you'd need a separate purse to carry it around.
I had the rezound for 2 weeks before the Nexus and a coworker just upgraded to it (against my opinion). I upgraded his to ICS. He says he didn't even notice the upgrade. Looks just like GB with sense.

Biased or not the Nexus is still a better device. The only thing i'd steal from the Rezound is the camera and loudspeaker.
If it's a direct trade it's worth it. If you have to spend anything extra I'd just wait for the GSIII(If Verizon gets it) or any phone with one of the latest SoC's.

I just upgraded my wife to a Rezound from my old Droid X2 when the Rezound was $50. I flashed one of the non-sense (lol) ICS ROMs to it and it is definitely a nice device, but I would never pick it over my GNex.

+1. also never try that people will understand you in the forums.

Had the rezound b4 the nexus and I can tell you that the rezound isn't bad but there's nothing like a nexus . Even my nexus s 4G was a lil better than the rezound. But the rezound battery is better . Harder to root and easier to brick than the Gnex.... at the end if the day you should just go to a Verizon store check them both out for 10-15 mins. And YOU be the judge

No.

Probably not, mainly because the European S3 won't get 3G on T-Mobile.

Love my Pure Google Nexus...and the "possibility" of getting updates quicker than phones with carrier crap on them, I'll keep my Nexus; Thank You Very Much! LoL
Also, with the available ports of all the SGS3 apps...can't get any better than this!

Not a chance. Updates straight from Google and no capacitive / physical buttons are too good to pass up. Also, Paranoid Android isn't on the GSIII

If I do get it.. It would be with Vodafone Australia GSM no 4G. Although I love my Galaxy Nexus (too much) its starting to get outdated, spec wise.
Also, if I do get it.. I'll give the Nexus to my dad, so I can get it back whenever.. And I'd be able to upgrade in December just in time for the next Nexus.
I'm currently running the latest MIUI on my rooted Galaxy Nexus, so I'm not really into high levels of customization, And although I'm not a fan of the Galaxy S 3 design, I think they did a pretty good job software wise. And the fact that it's already been rooted before release gives it a bright start in the development field.
What do you guys think now?

It's all about personal preference. The Nexus has data speeds with a theoretical max of 21 Mbps where as the S2 is 42.
On the other hand, the nexus will always have the latest and greatest software ( as long as the device is still supported by google).

Depends on what you're going to do. With a custom ROM, I found the performance to be slightly better with the G.Nexus in normal day-to-day activities such as texting and web browsing (because of Project Butter). However, the difference is pretty small. I also highly prefer the stock OS but G.Nexus does not have wifi calling so that was a deal breaker for me.

I really want a Samsung device. I can't afford 500+ for a new phone. But 350, hella yeah. With this Nexus you wouldn't need to worry about "lack of roms". Plus, from what I've been seeing. I don't think Google is releasing a new Nexus Phone. The Nexus 7 & Q took that place this year. So you wouldn't need to worry about an old device

Get the Galaxy Nexus if you like to get updates from Google and if you want a bigger screen. Get the S2 if you want a better camera and touchwiz.

S2 with AOKP all the way but that's just my opinion.

[Q] Best Verizon option for Nexus lover

I have a GSM G-Nex and love it, as well as my $30 T-Mobile plan. Unfortunately for some weird family plan related reasons I may grudgingly go Verizon. The only phone I have had my eye on as of late is the Nexus 4, but that is not an option. What is a good alternative? I like big screens, and up to date software, and I usually flash custom ROMs from this wonderful site anyway. (only running stock right now because 4.2 is really nice, great on my battery).

Gnex, gs3, or wait a week and check out the new HTC coming out.

Droid DNA, GS3, & Note 2 seem cool. Verizon G-Nex could probably be had for very cheap though. I hope I can just adjust their family plan and not have to join. I went prepaid because I had to, but now I really really don't want to go back to contract/locked-phone land!

I like the Note 2, if the bootloader gets unlocked I think I will be jumping on that one.
Honestly I wouldn't be surprised to see the Nexus 4 eventually hit VZW, but who knows.

Ended up putting off switching until my GNex died a violent death. The Moto X has been a worthy successor thus far, 3 days in.
