I have been following news on this very closely, is it just me or is this an amazing phone at a phenomenal price.

I love my original galaxy s and it is up for renewal and was not sure what to go for, I was also considering going over to the dark side (iphone).

It seems to leave premium phones in the dust for budget phone money, as evil as google are I admire their open business model.

Looking forward to renewal day.

Review here gives it the thumbs up. CLICKY

Good

Great screen is beautiful to look at, easy to read
Comes with Android 4.2 and the guaranteed promise of immediate software updates
Long-life battery life
Camera is a leg up over its sister phone, the Optimus G
HSPA+ will ensure the phone works in other 3G markets
Contract-free pricing is less expensive than the Optimus G

Bad

Nexus design is a bit unimaginative
Lacks the more advanced power management of the Optimus G
Speaker is muffled if the phone is laid down on its back side
No LTE

Ugly

No SD card slot makes this phone an automatic no-buy for many
