Based on specs and size, Galaxy Nexus is very much like a Galaxy S2 with a 720p screen.
That's very good, I'm not knocking them for that. I've been lusting for the GS2 for a long time, but ended up buying an Inc2 off ebay when it did not come out for Verizon. A rooted and overclocked Inc2 is plenty fast for me, so I'm not especially eager to get the Galaxy Nexus.
I think I will get it eventually. ICS looks really nice, but function-wise it did not blow me away. I'm looking forward to seeing other new phones that will come with ICS. I'm still not in a hurry to get 4G LTE, 3G is still fast enough for me. The non-removable battery and no SD card slot is disappointing.
Who knows, if there is a custom ICS rom made for my Inc2, I'll get even more mileage out of my phone.
Bottomline, I'm not compelled enough to rush out and get this phone. I'll wait for reviews, I'm especially curious about battery life cuz they've already got everything else covered, and with the cpu and gpu pushing so many pixels, how long can it last?
