I really haven't noticed. Everything still works ( nandroid backups,titanium) just like any other android phone.
Its a virtual sd card. I was also worried I'd miss a real one. But it's a non issue for me. Fwiw.

Just sucks not being able to pop in your sd card from your old phone and having your stuff right away.. But its easy to move your stuff over.. And it would suck if you damaged your phone and wasn't able to save things. So make sure you back everything up

No. I still have plenty of space left even with a bunch of music. Admittedly I don't watch or care about movies and TV series on my phone. Just books and music.

This is the biggest hit. Many devices that support USB mass storage don't support mtp, like my car.

if you need more than 15 GB of space, then you are out of luck
or in the Verizion version if you need more than 31 GB of space, then you are out of luck
I stream media mostly so it doesn't really matter. I barely use the space except for some games.

Not really. 32 gigs is enough for me. Everything else can be stored in the cloud for when I need it.

Or you can get USB Host
Expandable USB http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1400034 not as convenient... but its there
you could even be "ghetto" and use the expandable USB to a ASUS Transformer or another tablet and then you have some more storage + a on the go charger!
so long as you have unlimited data & don't mind relying on the cloud then its no problem.
I honestly am starting to prefer the lack of SD card. I have the VZW version, so 32gb is a lot of storage to begin with, and the internal memory is faster than the cheaper SD cards. Also, USB works fine for me.

Android File Transfer works great for me on my MacBook Pro. Give it a try.
Having vzw and obviously 32 gb is cool with me however if it would've been 16 gb it may have been inconvenient not a deal breaker tho
Really not a big deal. I'm sure not every single phone everyone has ever had has the same specs.

Personally no. I have had numerous devices that offered the ability to expand storage. I only used it to expand storage and I've never needed to take advantage of the ability to swap memory cards. The Verizon GN has 32GB which is more than enough space for me.
I sorta felt the same way at first until my buddy explained there was really no need for more gb.
It not like you need to carry all your Harry potter movies with you and if your going to load up your phones with games and movies with more than 16gb you wouldn't be able to consume it in one day anyways.
Its a phone not a house to store your media library. With cloud and all phone app 16gb is plenty
Miss the SD card support.
Would've been able to use a Sd sleeve and micro SD card to transfer photos from my Camera to my phone so I could upload them while I was on my ski trip..
It's not a problem for me. I actually prefer having built in memory. I have unlimited data so storing it in the cloud is no issue for me and tbh, it's a phone not a computer.
SD card is nice for the portability and that it's physically separate from the phone, as far as storage - i think the mass are satisfied with 16/32GB internal storage.
There will always be fringe users who want something insane like 64GB.
If Samsung put in
32gb on GSM version or 16gb with microSD slot......
I would of definitely would of picked up one with 32gb or SD card slot..

Onboard storage is irrelevant when you live in the cloud. Just like Google wants you to. I have 9GB free. Most of my space is taken up by backups and ROMs.

Same here. I dont miss sd card slot at all.

I only miss the SD card because I have several Android devices and I'd like to be able to take one out and put it another one in for purposes such as music, etc.
32gb would have been nice so I could keep more than 2 roms backed up at once on my galaxy nexus plus allow for all my games,apps an music, 16 gb really doesn't go that far for me, I find myself uninstalling a lot of stuff an keeping apps an games backed up with titanium backup so I can easily get it back quickly if I need to so I have storage space.

Free "Thanks" I did not mean to thank you.
But anyway, I have like 10 back ups + music + HQ movies. I honestly don't see a difference in sells if Google were to add additional storage to this phone.

I totally agree that I'd have liked to see a 32GB option and/or a slot for a microSDXC card, like the Galaxy SIII has. I don't want to depend on cloud storage for my music files. And I'd rather use my own music app rather than the Google Play music player. A 64GB microSDXC card in the GN would be perfect.
As it is, I bought a 64GB flash drive that I mount on my GN via USB OTG and Stickmount. Not ideal, but it works.

Would of?
What the hell does that mean?
Would've, while sounding like "would of" is in fact short for "would have"
Together the two words show timing and intent, but could be used apart:
I would buy.
I have bought.
But the same is not true of your use of the word "of."
I of bought.
Simple mistake based on tricks our ears play on us.
No offense intended.

Well states wise, how much they would have sold, if Google had a unified launch of launch product. as i remember the release date from Verizon was foggy at best. Then they offered no way buying in the stateside besides Ebay/Amazon, till whatever exclusivity deal expired with Verizon. Then Google finally offered directly and Sprint got the phone.
I could only imgine that this phone would have sold well, if it had any amount of marketing, and unified launch besides one carrier in the states

I have an 8gb card in my phone now and 1.1gb left it's safe to say that 16gb will be okay for me. I'm looking at price point of the phone. Not the memory.

You really think it would have sold any more units with 32GB storage? I find that hard to believe. If you choose your phone based on 16GB vs 32GB storage, and are willing to give up having a Nexus because of it, you clearly don't get it. I still have yet to understand why anyone would need that much storage.
And MicroSD sucks. Partitions and UMS are just a pain in the ass. Don't expect Google to ever use them again in a Nexus device.
Guess Google didn't expect people to pony up the extra $50 for the already limited storage. But that is a good thing. Hopefully we will see more 32gb nexus devices soon.

I have my slew of apps, a few big (250mb or so) ones, and several hundred mb of pics/wallpapers. Other than that I'm using Google Music / Pandora / TuneIn Radio for my music and I'm not one for movies.
I've still got 10.2GB available on the device.
I came from a HTC Desire so I am used to having very little storage (although I loved that people were able to figure out how to make EXT4 partitions make the phone believe it had more internal storage)... I really don't mind the 16GB, it is more than I will ever need. I only keep apps and data for them on the phone so it's not that bad... I have other devices for music/video.
And now back to your regular GALAXY NEXUS programming........
I won't buy a Google tablet till it comes in 64g ;/ I use 56 GB (music not included thats 42 GB) on my iPad 3... I hope googles 10 inch tablet would let me make the jump to pure android across my devices

How to move almost all Android apps to SD card ?
what sd card? do you mean you want to save the apk's and store it somewhere outside of the phone? in addition, the internal storage isn't partitioned like that of older nexus models. it's either you get a 16gb or a 32gb storage less the space utilized by the os.
The Galaxy Nexus doesn't have an SDcard.
