So I have had my new Galaxy Nexus for a couple weeks now and for the most part I'm happy with it. So lets get into in.
The SIZE:
Is it big yes. For a phone its rather large but not uncomfortable at all to hold in your hand. Now keep in mind I'm a guy and 6 feet tall but if does not feel to large to hold at all. In fact I can still run the entire screen just using my thumb without much difficulty at all. Much of this is due to the fact its thin. Now I know its not RAZR thin but it works for me. The only con to the size is when it is in my pants pocket and it turns sideways. I would say with the phone any any others just because the screen size seems big (4.65 inches in this case) hold it in you hand before you judge it.
The display:
Not the best display but far from the worst. What it has in pixel density in lack is vibrancy. Coming from a DROID Incredible the display seems just a little lacking. I'm sure with all the other goodies they put in this the felt the small cut on the display quality was worth it, and for the most part people won't notice it unless they are coming for a device that had a top of the line display good display before hand.
Operating Environmental:
Well is runs Android 4.0 and its very responsive. I like what they have done with 4.0 all the way around (although I do miss some of my CM Mod customizations). I have not found myself waiting or hitting buttons to get it to respond. I also have found no need for any kind of task manager at this point. All applications launch right away and they recent applications tab with a screen preview is one of the excellent additions to this version of android.
Camera:
Its a phone not a DSLR. People who complain about camera quality of cell phone need to remember this. It takes pictures and you can upload them to your favorite privacy invasion sight with minimal effort.
Battery:
Well its a smart phone, and an LTE one at that. I find with LTE off I can get through a business day (from when I leave my house for work until I return 9-10 hours) with out much effort when LTE is OFF. when LTE is on it still makes it but I will have to throw it on the charger soon after I get home. If you are going out for the night after you need to charge it regardless of which radio is in use. In addition the WIFI seems to suck a lot of power if its having trouble keeping a connection to an access point. If you are in a low signal quality area just kill the WIFI.
Issues:
The radio. It seems ALL (ALL) LTE phone suffer from some kind a radio glitch when switching between networks that causes the radio to hang in one way or another. This phone is no different. I have experienced this at least twice since owing the phone and need to reboot to fix it. Again it seems to be an issue in general with all LTE phones. (Antenna gate anyone :P )
The back is a little more slippery than I care for and I don't believe in cases/covers; They just make a nice phone bulky.
Summary:
Would I buy it again? Yes. It makes my old phone, and most others, feel like children's toys. Will it be outdated next month? Probably, but so is technology.
Any Questions feel free to ask.
