I have had this phone about two months now. It was a difficult decision between it and the Evo, but I am very happy with my choice. Its size and shape make it very comfortable to hold, but it is very slippery and easy to drop if I am not careful. The screen is amazingly bright and crisp, much more than Evo. It is also very responsive. The processor is very fast, and I love that the phone is free of bloatware. It helps to reboot it every day or two, and do a battery pull once a week or so. When I don't do this I notice it bogs down occasionally and freezes up. I get a full day out of the battery with moderate use, but the display tends to suck the life out of it if I watch videos or spend much time online. The stock virtual keyboard is better than some, but not perfect. Since the screen is 4.0" instead of Evo's 4.3", it is easier to hit the wrong keys. Small price to pay, however, since the phone specs out very similar to Evo and comes in at half the price. The camera is probably the biggest disappointment. It is possible that I just haven't figured it out yet, but it seems to be inconsistent. It can take great pics, but often I have to try at least twice. I love the built-in storage; 16GB is way more than enough for anything I will ever need. I have never had any issues with signal, although I have seen that complaint several times. This phone does better than my old phone with fewer bars. I thought the lack of a notification light would be a pain, but I got used to it very quickly. At this point, I am happy enough with it that when I upgrade I may decide to just get another Nexus. This is a SWEET phone.
I was satisfied with the phone, didn't absolutely love everything about it but it had it's strengths. I loved the bright colors on the screen, I also think it has a great looking shape to it, something that most smartphones are missing these days. I like that it's not full of bloatware and that it was constantly getting updates!
I switched to this phone from the Palm Pre. Loved the Palm, but with no future in sight, I had to bail. As for the Nexus, I'm extremely happy. My wife has the Evo and I struggled with my decision to get the Evo, Evo 3D or the Nexus. I think I made the right decision. The battery life is much better on the Nexus compared to the Evo. The Evo 3D was way to gimmicky for me. I was extremely surprised to find that utilizing the 4G network during my drives to stream things like podcasts or Pandora did not show significantly more battery drain. In some cases, it used less than #g because the signal strength seems to be lacking on the Nexus. As for the UI, I love that it's clean and that the phone doesn't have all of the bloatware as with the Evo. I have had very good luck finding the widgets that I miss from the Sense UI on HTC.
Really bummed that Facebook integration is disabled on this phone as it was very useful since I am an avid user. But, the Hotspot ability out of the box is a huge plus for use of an iPad or laptop on the go.
