If you are an android user, you will be very happy with the look and feel of the new operating system - like I said, ice cream sandwich works like the current android tablets. Great phone, which signals a promising future for the android system and phones

This is simply the only android phone that is a true iPhone killer. this is competition for the iPhone 5 not the 4s. Will Siri tell them all bout early cancellation fees? Oh well this phone has been reviewed hyped and delayed (then delayed some more) but once its in your hands nothing will compare. Its build to last through a 2 year contact without problems. Granted Ive had it for under 24 hours but 4.0 is both intuitive, fast, fully customizable and very user friendly. I LOVE FOLDERS. Everything this phone could of been it is. Go ahead and get some Ice Cream Sammich

No Facebook contact sync out of the box. Have to download a different app outside of the one made by Facebook.

this phone is great. It is combination of high-quality hardware and software. Even though some people do not like all the plastic, I think it is practical and better than the all metal and glass iPhone. The size of the phone is not a distraction either. The screen size of 4.56" is big, but it does not feel big. The curved screen, thinness, and narrowness of the phone feels perfect, even in small hands. This is currently the best Android phone money can buy right now.

This is absolutely the best handheld device I have ever owned. It far exceeded my expectations on battery life, screen amazingness, and everything in general. I recommend this device to anybody who is not an Apple fanboy.

Lacks SD card and the internal storage does not mount as a drive. Verizon car mount HORRIBLE! (No charging pins like in GSM version.) Does not have home dock screen that original Moto Droid had with alarm clock, etc. Home screens do not rotate!

Battery life is excellent. While we only managed to squeeze about five hours and 15 minutes from our battery rundown test (where we play a looped video starting from a full charge), it matches what we saw with the Droid RAZR, which features a similar battery and processor. Note that we switched video players since our usual app misbehaves in Ice Cream Sandwich. The 1,750mAh battery fared significantly better in our battery usage test (where we use the device normally until it shuts down), lasting an impressive 28 hours. Other than watching videos, it's unlikely most people will have to worry about running out of juice with the Galaxy Nexus.

Great review as always Anand. My only criticism is that it felt like it took you a very long time to get this review out compared to how quickly the iphone 4S review came out. I think your comments about the hardware are correct; its certainly not leaps and bounds ahead of other phones. Being my first phone since the iphone 3G I do wish it was more bleeding edge to future proof it a bit. However it actually works very well, both as a content consumption device, as well as (gasp) as a phone, and I just love, love, love that fact that its penta band. Now when I visit the US I no longer have to endure the legal extortion that used to be the norm with carrier locked devices. That feature alone makes this phone better than any other out there,, old GPU and all

I've had my GNex since the day after launch. It surpasses any experience I've had with a smartphone (including HTC Incredible, iPhone 3GS, and a HTC EVO) as a web browser and mobile computer device, but the single complaint I have is with using it as a...(wait for it) PHONE.
I've had over a dozen calls now where I'll be conversing away and all of the sudden my microphone cuts out and the other person can't hear a word I'm saying. The call is still connected and I can hear them just fine, but I have to hang up each time and call them back.
Google directed me to Verizon, Verizon says it's a Samsung/Google problem, but I've been assured it's a software problem and there will be a fix in 'an upcoming update'.
As much as I like the hardware and software, not making reliable calls is a real kick in the junk for a smartphone.

The Galaxy Nexus is a very nice phone indeed, but there are just some things that I don't like about it. As mentioned in the review, the GPU is not the best, which is actually the main reason I won't buy the phone. I buy smartphones which should last about 2 years. Buying one with a GPU from the beginning of last year is just not good enough. As Anand mentions: better wait for Q2, maybe Q3. At the moment, the GN is certainly the best phone (in my opinion) money can buy, but it's not the right moment to buy an android phone.
