THIS PHONE IS SO SLICK!! It has the power to free your mind. You can watch video from YouTube and other sources(apps). This phone is not too heavy and it kind of thin. If your looking for a new phone, buy this one, trust me!!!!!
I recently just upgraded from this phone to my current one. Only reason I did is that Google no longer supports it (end of life I guess) Having said that I would have been happy to keep using the phone otherwise. It's got a nice heft in your hand for weight, it's responsive, has great features and really was a stable phone. Never had any issues. Sadly though, I think it will be cycled out like anything good because of the lack of support on the OS.
Pros: Durable, Realistic color
I would recommend this to a friend!

The Wait Is Over & I'm Glad I Waited... So Go Ahead & Get One!

I've had my Galaxy Nexus (Now Network) for the past 5 days... I have to say this phone really impresses & delivers. I have had nothing but Samsung phones on my current plan for the past 15+ years & all but one (Transform 1st Gen.) delivered. The Galaxy Nexus is very light, sturdy, & the display is remarkable... the panoramic shots are fun to take & add more value to the device. I would however have preferred an external camera button to snap pictures or turn recording off & on, it is a 5MP camera after all... this way you don't have to contort your hand/fingers to use the virtual button. Despite the hype of the curved design this device is no where near as curved as the Nexus S so I think it is moot point to highlight it. The other so so item is the back cover… although I like the nice textured grip it needs to be a bit sturdier since I like to swap batteries daily after 8 hours of use, so take care & be patient if you’re taking the back cover off frequently. The speaker is just right for both hands-free use, listening to music, & virtual assistant apps. The 1.2GHz dual-core processor is fluid fast & makes the phone exciting to use. Add the sizable 32GB of memory, excellent quality of the almost scratch resistant glass, & the addition of a well sized multicolored LED & you really have a kick butt device. Thanks Samsung! It will definitely rock once the 4G LTE is fired up in my city... oh & lastly the ICS O/S is SWEET (no pun intended)! ;-)
Cons: no external camera button, flimsy back cover

What a remarkable piece of beauty. Samsung did really well in creating a phone for Google's Flagship Pure Vanilla Experience of ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich)
This phone is fast, sleek and best of all, a samsung product.
The screen really is the best part about this phone.
Great phone. Really amazing, but, no SD card slot? Really?? Also has a boring and flat look to it, and the power button on the side is inconvenient and awkward. Top of the phone I thought was universal acceptance. If you're going to change something, let it be its boring exterior shell.
