Keep S3 or get Nexus?

I just bought a Galaxy S3 last week and I enjoy the phone overall. I haven't had any problems. I know Jelly Bean is "coming soon" and I don't like waiting on updates. I am still within the 14 return period and I'm wondering if I should return this phone to Verizon and get the Galaxy Nexus? Opinions anyone? Thanks

Galaxy nexus 2 is coming out by end of the year.
 
Keep the S3 unless you plan on getting the new Optimus Nexus. LG has a history of bad software updating but Google has it's hands on this one.

This is pure speculation. Honestly its a choice o my you can make. The GS3 is great and if you're willing to root and put a custom ROM on you could be running Jelly Bean now, like many of us. The nexus is a little less powerful but still a great and current device. My buddies gnex running JB runs fantastic and can keep pace with my GS3 no problem. I think you'll be happy either way but if you're looking for the most current OS without ROMing than the gnex is for you.
 
The only real difference between the SGS3 and nexus (IF YOU ROOT AND PUT CUSTOM ROM on SGS3) is back camera, internal storage, battery, and external storage.
and screen size. They both will run JB smoothly.
