Bringing out annoying bugs. Snaps pics way faster than a Polaroid
Though image quality is twice as crappy. Awesomely shiny screen makes for lessthanawesome battery life
Ice Cream Sandwich has eliminated some of Android's learning curve in some aspects
Just to re-create it in others. There was some static on calls
And there's no external memory card slot. Also
Like other Samsung Galaxy devices
The Galaxy Nexus feels r
The Galaxy Nexus lacks a slot for expandable memory
And the 5-megapixel camera isn't Samsung's best. There's no support for Google Wallet
And several Ice Cream Sandwich features take some getting used to

The Samsung Galaxy Nexus marries the power of the Ice Cream Sandwich with a stock Andorid OS. The phone's beautiful screen and performance are top-notch, and unlike its Verizon counterpart, the Google Wallet payment app is onboard
The Galaxy Nexus lacks a slot for expandable memory, the 5-megapixel camera isn't Samsung's best, and battery life could be longer. We're also still waiting for phone's connection to Sprint's LTE network
Though Sprint's Samsung Galaxy Nexus retains the cache of being an official showpiece for Ice Cream Sandwich, it's no longer the only kid on the block. The fact that Sprint's LTE network is not operational yet doesn't help the phone, either....
