The more I use this Galaxy Nexus, the more I miss my Note. After my review work is done, I am letting a neighbor test drive it for a possible purchase.
Lack of microSD support and USB mass storage STILL ticks me off to this day with this Google phone. After streaming music via Google Music almost soothed this issue, dealing with a buggy and unreliable Android Sync program on my Mac brought back my initial frustration.
Pure ICS is good eye-candy with the Roboto font, the solid gunmetal plastics don't really bother me, and I do like the button-less front with notification LED. However, minor lags in the UI and dropped calls from weak signal reception leave a bad taste in my mouth for vanilla Android.
Why in the world did Google and Samsung go backwards with this Nexus line when HTC granted a good start with the Nexus One?!! As much as I love both companies for Android and the Galaxy Note/S2, they REALLY put a stigma on the Nexus brand for me. As a result, I will be looking to sell my unlocked Galaxy Nexus to an interested neighbor who will take it for a test run during the coming week. Sadly, I'm looking forward to ICS enhancements to TouchWiz on my GNote and GS2 more so than ever playing with pure Android again. *end of rant*
