I too got the Nexus on Launch Day and I hear what you are saying. I absolutely LOVE the phone, but have experienced issues regarding apps not being optimized yet for ICS. A problem I can deal with as I understand that comes with being an early adopter, but TOTALLY hear what you are saying.

I wonder if we'll be forced into immediate upgrade. I'd rather delay it until I'm sure the apps I want will work effectively on the Tablet.
