Last weekend Julia and I ended the tyranny of our T-Mobile contract (even though the merger with AT&T fell through, I was sufficiently spooked by the spectre of giving money to AT&T that we bailed). AT&T being out of the question, as well as Sprint, our choice was none else but Verizon. Verizon had two things going for it: the iPhone 4S, and the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. The salesperson did his due diligence and informed me of the issues that the Galaxy Nexus has<\/a>, and tried to steer me towards Motorola, but after I told him I will never buy Motorola again<\/a>, I had my Galaxy Nexus in hand. Julia picked up the iPhone 4S instead.<\/p>\n

I thoroughly enjoy my Galaxy Nexus. It is easily the best phone I have ever used. Ice Cream Sandwich on the phone\u2019s hardware is incredibly fast, with none of the lag that I had on my old phone. The AMOLED screen is incredibly sharp and bright. Apps all work beautifully. It\u2019s just a great phone.<\/p>\n

The phone is larger than the iPhone, and some people may think it is too big, but I don\u2019t mind the size. I also think I have seen the signal issue myself, but as I rarely make voice phone calls it hasn\u2019t been much of a problem (the data connection hasn\u2019t really dropped out for me). Finally, the notification LED on the phone didn\u2019t work to my satisfaction when I got it. However, after a bit of Googling, I found the Light Flow App<\/a>, which is well worth the $1.99. It made the notification LED useful again.<\/p>\n

All in all, I have zero complaints about my purchase. I do think that this is the phone that future Android phones are going to be measured against.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
