I also give the Galaxy Nexus HIGH MARKS. When my Droid X bit it, I upgraded to this phone after reading everything I could find about it online. This is the first phone out there with new Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) and this OS rocks. At least as fast as the iPhone and the Nexus has 4G. Best phone I have ever had. It took some getting used to at first and there are one or two shortcomings, but even with these, it's the BEST PHONE EVER.
