GSM Galaxy Nexus

[SteveISU]

Debating on picking one up or waiting for the Skyrocket HD. I'm sure the SGSIII won't hit shores till November. Reading through the posts is appears the Nexus still has alot of quirks and issues that have yet to worked out. Being that the GSM Nexus is a unlocked overseas import, I'm a bit nervous about getting it and dealing with numerous reboots, ect and being screwed (ie...don't have the option to take it back and get another device from Verizon). So my question is is the GSM having as many issues as the CDMA Nexus? Anyone with the GSM want to chime in. Negri has the nexus with a $25 off coupon for $620ish, but I'm having a hard time pulling the trigger with all these issues I'm reading about.

I'm on a GSM from Bell Mobility in Canada.

First phone had poor battery life that i was dealing with until one night it started rebooting on its own and wouldnt stop. (I took out battery and put it in) still presisted.

Took it back to store (within 1 month of purchase), and they labeled it DOA.

Second phone - amazing battery life (50% better with same setup) and zero problems yet.

Hope this maybe helps

Looks like Negri provides a 1yr warranty. That helps a little. My other option is to drop ATT and go Verizon. ATT has peeved me off a little, but I have unlimited data so I've stuck with them.

I have had mine since the beginning of December, I have experienced two random reboots and that is it. Signal as been perfect, calls have been great, and so has data speeds. Phone works great.

Is it worth all that money, to me it is, to you it might not be.

How are the speeds? Closer to 3G, HSPA, or HSPA+?

My GN has been great so far too. The first one I got worked fine until a couple days ago when the flash memory failed somehow.. seems to be a very unique issue and I took it back and got a new one. I think it's definitely worth it
