The Galaxy Nexus CDMA is a pretty good phone to me. It has a very bright AMOLED display (it has burn-ins from that lol) which i like and a sleek design. I really would recommend this phone to people who want a small smartphone that runs Android.
I've had this phone since its incarnation. I was stoked to have my first Android device coming from two sub par Blackberrys (8830 WE and Storm 2). I was even more stoked about what the Nexus line was about and what it meant for me as an owner in that product line - pure Android, constant updates, unlocked bootloader, etc. Most, if not all of those, fell flat with this phone. Most of that has to do with Google and Verizon not playing well together.
But after three years, I'm ready to retire this thing for the Nexus 6. If I had to do it all over again, I probably would have waited a little bit to see what real reviews said about it and then make a more informed decision.
I hope the GN's younger sister, which I've been waiting to come back to Verizon for the last year, doesn't disappoint.
I have had this phone for almost two years and it has been the worst phone I have ever had. Call quality is terrible and have had multiple sim cards replaced by Verizon due to this. The version of android is so bad. Before putting a ROM (done by a person in computer consulting) on the phone, I was unable to receive MMS messages, I would have to shut off my wifi in order ro recive them. There has also been many problems between the phone changing over to wifi, 4g and regular cell reception. Just terrible.
The Battery life is awful, even with an extened battery. The screen has these black patches over then when playing a dark video (verizon just told me that is just how the phone is). It is constantly freezes during simple applications. When the phone is updating apps, don't even try to do anything because the phone is too slow. I am not a harcore phone user either. I came from a HTC Incredible, and after about 2 months I almost went back to that phone even though it was on its last leg. Google really needs to put more detail work in their phones instead of mass producing like they currenly are because they just lost a loyal android user since the Droid Eris.
