FWIW, I am getting about -80 on my OG droid and -100 on the GNEX.
I tried to warn some folks in the main thread a few times, and was jumped on a bit for it. Nothing excessive, but I think that the fanboyism took over on this one.
Its one of the reasons that I bailed on the GN and got a Razr. Could not be happier. Only thing I am missing right now is ICS, but we already have a dev with ICS booted on it. More goodness to follow.
As Ive stated before, Moto is king of radios. I will definitely have a Nexus someday, but not today. Most likely when Motorola is making the phone and not Samsung.
Cheers.

Have the Charge's LTE problems ever been resolved?
The other thing Motorola tends to be a "King" of is releasing phones that will eventually work. The Droid 1 was fine but every phone since then has had some sort of quirky quirkiness that prevented normal functionality until months after release. This was true for the Droid 2, Droid X, Bionic, Droid 3....the Razr seems to have fewer but they are still there. All I know with the Nexus is I have no issues yet. 5 hours and traveling around town on 4g LTE
Rush, thoughts these days between the Razr & Rezound?
How is everyone finding Signal strength?
I stopped by my friendly neighborhood VZW Corporate store. There were 12 people in line for he GN. I went just to check it out and compare. One thing I noticed was the signal strength. The device had v4.0.2, but the signal strength seemed subpar.
I compared it to the Razr, Rezound, Bionic, and Charge. All these devices where around -39dBm to -55dBm, but the Nexus was -120dBm. The Motorola's had the best signal strength.
I'm a little concerned from that stand point. What are others seeing?
Before I left work to get my Nexus, I checked to see what my Droid's signal strength was before I left. I tend to get very poor reception at work.
In my cubicle:
Droid 1 = -90dBm
Galaxy Nexus = -111dBm
I haven't made any calls yet.
People keep throwing these numbers out, but I am very curious as to how much worse -111dBm is compared to -90dBm. Does anyone have any insight on this?
How big of a difference is 11dBm?
How big of a difference is 20dBm?
How much dBm difference does there need to be for the average user to notice?
I have had no issues with any of my Droid's.
Report is that it's showing a lower signal strength than is actually there. Bars are irrelevant, check actual signal strength in settings and you'll notice it's peachy.
