I ran out and picked up a Nexus S yesterday morning and for the past two days have been using it side by side with my Incredible. I'm still not sure which one I'll keep, but there are some factors which favor the Incredible:
1) Much better Wifi range. With one router on ground floor, I get solid Wifi in every corner of my house with the Incredible. The Nexus Wifi is flaky in the basement and upstairs.
2) I think the Incredible display is much nicer for indoor viewing. With the Nexus, the color temp is yellow green dead on and blue at an angle. The Incredible display color temp doesn't change with viewing angle, the colors are more pleasing (to me), and the contrast is higher. I think the Incredible has the best display for indoor use of any phone I have seen.
3) Incredible plus extended battery (2150mAh) far outlasts Nexus S and its standard battery. The narrow form of the Incredible makes it comfortable to hold even with the extended battery.
4) Incredible has card slot. Nexus doesn't.
5) Verizon 3G coverage is more solid in my house
I'm running CyanogenMod 6.2 on the Incredible and not sure whether to keep the Nexus or return it. I like the idea of using the "reference" phone and getting updates first, but I'm not sure it's worth having a less nice display (though the larger screen really helps for typing), less good 3G network (for me), less Wifi range, less battery life (for me), and no card slot.
