Keeping Rezound over Galaxy Nexus

[ndeer44]

So coming from the OG Droid the rezound blows me away obviously but I was wondering what the reasons to trade in for a galaxy nexus for.
My reason for not trading in for nexus, correct me if im wrong:

Hardware on rezound> gnex.

I dont really want to get into the ROM scene on this phone but do want to remove the sense and all the bloat ware and maybe wifi tether and over/underclock, will that be an issue for this phone? Like when an update comes out for ICS will I still be able to remove the sense and bloat?

I can wait an extra for ICS, let them fix the bugs, im happy as long as my phone is super fast.

I wont be using NFC.

Beats headphones

Extended battery.



Any comments on the reasons to keep this phone or reasons to switch to the gnexus?

developer friendly: Nexus > *
Processor: nexus = rezound (this is debatable, but IMO TI's OMAP line is one of the best out there, even at slower clock speeds)
RAM: can't go wrong, they all have plenty
Screen: both 720p
Memory : Rezound > Nexus. Rezound is upgrad-able here, nexus has pre-installed SD memory - non upgrade-able
case: from what I've read this is a toss-up as well.
UI: Also debatable... Many prefer sense, just as many hate it. No current way to get rid of it on the rezound, just have to install a second launcher and run sense in the background - waste of ram. Nexus > Rezound.

Overall.. pick your poison

^^^ yep....get what ever phone you like. once i get hands on the nexus, then i will pick one.... i have till january 9th. right now if the nexus sucks. the rezound is a mighty nice phone. I already have a screen off profile for it to save battery. win win.

If they get S-Off before the Nexus is released I'll be giving the Rezound a hard look.

I use go launcher and home manager. With home manager you make go launcher default then go into settings of home manager and autokill sense. I have been doing this with all my phones for a while. Works great if you dont like the manufacture UI.

I'm rocking my Rezound now and I'm pretty happy with it. If the Nexus ever comes out I may just buy it with my taxes Jan-Feb. Then I'll just have the best of both worlds. S-off is coming and so is the Nexus, waiting for both will drive a cell phone junkie

Forgive this noobie chick, but what is S-off?

S-off is security off. Need it off to have permanent root

HTC specific terminology. S-on = locked bootloader, S-Off = unlocked bootloader, which in turn is the ability to load custom kernels and leaves rezound owners no longer relying on HTC for updates, and or limitations.
