The Good:

The Bad:

Apps - If you can't live without these, I'd recommend waiting to buy until they're fixed

I've has my Galaxy Nexus for a couple of days now, on the Three network in the UK.I hate how most people in reviews rave about phones when they have just forked out for them, and fail to mention any real negatives - presumably because they refuse to accept that something they've spent £500 on might be less than perfect. When you buy one and it's missing features or isn't quite what you expected, it's very annoying.Here are my thoughts so far. I consider myself a power-user, and have tested almost everything. Overall, people are right.I think once devs start optimising their apps to work properly on ICS it'll be even better. Fingers crossed that Cyanogen will address lots of the annoyances below.I hope this is useful for someoneFeels much more complete and unified.It's lightening fast.Most of the best bits of Android have transferred.Screen looks great.Face unlock works much better than I thought. Even in low light.I've only had one crash despite installing a tonne of apps and testing every feature. [EDIT: a few FCs today. Mainly from the pre-installed Google Earth).Radio seems to work fine on Three UK, unlike the SGS II which has data issues due to fast dormancy. Data speeds are great.Browser generally much better.Text input much better, but editing is a little confusing and seems to vary depending on app. [EDIT: This is actually phenomenal. I've always had a hardware keyboard or Swype before so no practice on these keyboards. After only 48 hours, I can literally type without looking. It is very good at correcting mistakes.]Screen size is great for me, as I use my phones as mini-tablets. Doesn't feel bulky in my pocket at all.BLUETOOTH STEREO FINALLY DOESN'T DISTORT- I can hear hi-hats again instead of just distortion. There is a bit of constant crackling though.Screen remains responsive when charging. I have had an issue where it wasn't registering touch properly when charging on my Milestone, Desire and SGSII so this is really nice.EVEN THOUGH I'M SUPPOSEDLY IN AN UNAFFECTED BAND, IF MY PHONE DROPS TO 2G, AND SOMEONE WALKS NEAR ME MAKING A PHONECALL IT PUTS MY PHONE ON SILENT.The 'menu' button is unpredictable. For example, in most apps it appears at the bottom with the softkeys. In Market it's up at the top, near the search button. In some apps, it has gone. Seems to vary and is confusing.You're stuck with the Google search box on you home screen. I hate this.Now the button has gone, if an app doesn't have a search icon, you've lost the ability to search.Also means no long press search, so you have to go back to the home screen for voice commands. This also means that regardless of what launcher you use, if you want voice search, you NEED to have the Google search widget on your home screen.No USB Mass Storage – they've opted for media device profile instead. My Xbox recognises it but can't play any content. It doesn't work with my car stereo. It doesn't work with my TV. My laptop will see it, but I can't see certain hidden folders. This has just removed a huge aspect of flexibility from Android. It's no longer universal, and more like an iPhone now in that respect.Icons are as ugly in real life as everyone expected.Blue theme clashes with everything except blue. Blue icons on blue background feels very bland.There is a huge problem with speech to text, whereby it is very slow, and seems to just write a list of names out of my contacts directory rather than writing what I say! Video here: http://youtu.be/qHVptz2EtMk No longer accepts certain file formats over Bluetooth.Camera seems buggy when reviewing photos. It works confusingly.Gallery is not very intuitive at all.Browser doesn't display Javascript animations properly.Dropped a few calls.Wifi range isn't as good as my other AndroidsFront facing camera doesn't aim inwards towards your face. It points straight forward at 90 degrees, but it's positioned on the right of the device, so your face isn't central unless you hold the phone at a bit of an angle facing away from you. [EDIT - this is getting very annoying now. You have to have the phone screen pointing almost away from you to video call]Bluetooth calls don't seem to work. Caller can't hear what I'm saying. [EDIT - I'm told it works on newer kits. Mine is a Jabra stereo receiver]Bluetooth music has a constant crackling behind it, but it's barely noticeable in loud music.All albumart appears in the phone gallery.Google Talk seems to sign out after a while. It's showing all of my contacts as away even though I know they're online. Signing out and in again fixes this temporarily, but I'm guessing I would miss video calls whilst offline.Phone has gone to permanent sleep about 3 times in 2 and a half days now. Requires a battery pull to get it back on.No menu button is shown on Facebook, so there's no way to set it up to sync contacts or notifications. This means no contact photos for now.Twitter on the other hand syncs all my contacts, despite me telling it not to.Doesn't support Swype as yet.Doesn't support MX Video Player.iPlayer not available in the Market.Grooveshark app doesn't work due to lack of flash player. You can use Dood's music streamer for a functional but unattractive alternative.
