I'm wondering if you want that phone specifically,

or if you're 'settling'* for it due to price/carrier...etc...
*not meant negatively.

married to Verizon and the divorce wood bee too expensive. My little brother raves about the Nexus and he is an android dork. The Apple5 is still on backorder and I can save at least $100 off the Galaxy S3.
My droid X has to be charged 3-4 times a day to function. It lasted a good 1.5 years and has limped along the last 1 year.

Great phone. Gets the updates quickly since its a nexus phone. Its an older phone now and there are faster ones but I still can use just about every app with no problem. I think its the perfect size and thinness. U can get it cheap now as well

Had the HTC incredible before it and the nexus is much better. I am sure there are newer phones out now with nicer ####, but this one keeps me satisfied for now.

A big part of the issue here is phone subsidies
Nov 9, 2012, 9:41 AM
|

You can get a butt-load of Android phones for free with a 2-year contract. Most of the rest of the world buys phones straight up, no contract, at full price.
So, everywhere else, you can't play the ######## "I paid more for my phone so it MUST be better than yours" card because they all cost $600.

Apple has stricter standards to get apps in their store,
Nov 9, 2012, 11:08 AM
|
|
therefore, better overall quality of apps on Apple. It's easier to get an app on the Google Play store, and with so many more devices out there, it's only a matter of time until there are more apps for Android than Apple.
http://www.insidemobileapps.com/2012/09/26/tracking-growth-the-itunes-app-store-vs-google-play/
Also, remember that Apple had a pretty good head start.
Long story short, though, there are very few apps that are platform-specific.

Its an unlocked phone. Unless of course I don't know the intricacies of your carrier. If you can get a sim card it can go wherever you want.

True.

Anyway the original point remains. The new model is coming out in a few days so I imagine the price of the galaxy nexus will dip pretty soon if it hasn't already.
