Samsung Galaxy Nexus Android phone

After using it for 5 months, by giving it a fair go, I can unbiasedly say that this rates as one of my worst smartphones investment of all time (delivered vs promise). I've been using smartphones since Compaq days, and the lack of basic features is appalling.

From build quality to basic functions, this reeks the brainchild of a designer in the early 20s, which caters too much to the socially connected crowd, and none of the ppc/smartphone basic functions. Coupled with volume, battery life, less than stellar updates (still on 4.02 even though 4.04 is out), crash problems, sensitivity problems, no PC agent, overly cloud centric, this is pretty much a phone with pretty looking(but relatively useless) apps and facebook.

It's totally useless to a business user out of box.

I naively thought with its customisability, that it can be eventually be catered to a tech savvy business user with the correct apps and some work, but I cannot be more wrong when build itself is screwy.

I'm done with google phones. IOS and Windows, I'm coming back to you.

Awesome phone, I am not disappointed in turfing my iPhone 4 for this. Would recommend it to anybody. I am with telstra and i regularly get data speeds upwards of 5mb/s in Melbourne

So far im on my 3rd handset in 8 weeks and im taking it in tomorrow. The first 2 would type on their own WITH THE SCREEN LOCKED AND THE PHONE IN MY POCK. One typed abfour page message that read hghsjvbdjdbdkdbdjdbdjdnd ETC....

Tgis handset crashes REGULARLY. Apps close mid use for no reason. The phone turns itself off with a full battery and it overheats when in a case but nearly burns your head in a long call (more than 5 minutes and you can start to feel it). The issues with the third are new, but how many broken phones can you get?

Oh, always fine for 2 weeks and then BOOM

I had two black-out in one month.
I was informed that a lot of people had problem with the battery of this phone

The Galaxy nexus is just utter RUBBISH. I am so sorry I bought this phone. Volume is too low. Vibration is poor. No T9 Keypad availabe, altough you can download an app for it. But hey.....Samsung should try and sell a phone that works. ICS or no ICS....keep away from it. I'm going back to my Samsung Galaxy S phone that does what it should do.

Everything jonfields45 & funkyfour6 said. I am so with this phone. Missed important phone calls because of liw ringtones. Sitting right next to my husband while hes using hus iphone 3g & mine just spins & goes to unable to connect. Phone sucks

Headphone jack on the bottom is great. Who cares if you put your phone in your pocket upside down. When you pull it out you just flip it up and its right side up. Lazy people.

Yes Rob, we are so biased towards the iPhone that the Galaxy Nexus got 4.75 amd the iPhone 4S got 4.

You fanboys are absolutely incredible.

Ahhhh PC WORLD you're as much an apple shill as zdnet and cnet. By all accounts this is the best smart phone ever (a reviewers words not mine) and you still have to nit pick in ways related only to your OPINION I order to make the iphone seem better. I now know I cannot trust you opinion for anything mobile related...thank you for the eye opener

cameras should be 8 mega pixel as in galaxy s2.plastic body is better then metal , it becomes very light 7 scratch proof. i hope it will have a better carry case then galaxy s2.
