With all the issues the Galaxy Nexus is having, why is it being proclaimed the best?

I have to say, even with all the issues some people have been having, more likely than not, I'm going to take the Gnex for a 14-day test drive this weekend.

I have no issues at all either.

Awesome phone. Best yet. Razr is just ugly.

RAZR or bust! Lol, just kidding. It all boils down to personal choice. I chose the RAZR over the GN because of Motorola's docking solutions and its thinness.

A coworker bought it this weekend. Her question: Whereinhell is the menu button?

Even the salesman at Verizon had his Nexus rooted and ROMed. He did warn her that it would void her warranty if she did it.

That I would like to see...
Verizon salesman- And over here is the Samsung Galaxy Nexus 4.65 Amoled screen, dual core 1.2 GHz processor, 1 GB ram, running the latest OS Ice cream sandwich
Customer- wow that sounds nice
Vz salesman- oh and the best thing is an unlockable bootloader that allows you to root and install custom roms *shows customer his rommed phone next to stock display one*

Lol
Or imagine a display model unlocked and running a custom rom haha

Supercharged tweaked Miui.us
Primes deprimed kernel @ 1.2GHz w/ customized kickasskernel tweaks and 3g turbocharger
19.9 linpack score

I went with the GNEX cautiously, but it has FAR exceeded my expectations!

Why are well-respected phone information sources like wirefly and phonedog highlighting the Nexus as the best phone on the market when there are numerous issues with it? The Rezound has better specs all the way around, yet the Nexus is better?? I don't get it. Does the fact that it has factory ICS completely make up for the issues of the phone? Seriously... a phone with reception and signal issues is the best??

The rezound does NOT have better specs. For one the omap 4 series is a better processor than the s3 straight. Then the nexus has the 4460 which naturally runs at 1.5 but was underclocked to 1.2 the rezoumd has a better gpu but not processor. No way to say clear cut but if your a gamer then a rezoumd would be better if not then nexus is better. And ics is 100% compliant with the 4460 specifically, so don't where u got that from. I had both and the only better about the rezound is the camera. Which it says in every review of the nexus. This phone is amazing and the developers (which no other phone will have as much) will fix every issue that the 1 to every 645 nexus owners complain about.

I'm an absolute nut about this stuff.. This is by far the best phone I've met/used. My previous favorite was the Bionic and this thing makes the Bionic look pretty dated. I have no issues at all. Great battery life, signal etc.

Not a single issue here. Best phone I've ever used.

"Best" is subjective, but I say to people if they are going to jump ship to Android, they might as well get a head start on the new OS and get a Nexus.

GNex is amazing! Its a revolutionary upgrade. And to further reinforce my claims, it has the fastest growing community online. GNex will do for Android what the OG Droid did.
