Let me know what you think. I posted a poll earlier today about what my next phone should be and the Nexus is my current top choice. Mostly I'm worried that the Verizon version will come with all their crappy paid apps instead of the decent free Google ones, but you can usually get around that by not ordering the Verizon version.

I work for a cellular carrier. I've seen everything available. The Nexus is hands down the best (GSM) phone out there.
CDMA sucks. I'd wait for consumer reviews.

I've heard that GSM is better, but it doesn't really matter if the local GSM carriers don't have enough coverage to use it. CDMA (Verizon) is pretty much my only option. Reviews for the Galaxy have been mostly positive (both consumer and tech sites) but there are some issues, one particularly with Verizon not loading Google's stuff where they have competing products. They've pulled similar stunts in the past with other phones. With the Droid X you had to get the Google stamped ones or else you were locked into Verizon's GPS and mapping tools, which you had to pay extra for.
I don't really care much about the camera. Very few smartphones have decent cameras in indoor lighting, and there are usually other drawbacks that make them less desirable. The RAZR has a better camera, but it's Motorola and I'm not too keen on repeating my Droid X experience.
Not sure why you'd say the processor is inferior, it's a 1.2GB dual core same as the other high-end models available now, unless there's something wrong with the chipset itself.

I have a friend that just got his first smart phone. He's had it a couple of months. I showed him how, in maps, when you do a search you can hit the tiny microphone icon and say "Home Depot" and it will show you all the Home depots near you.
He flipped out on how cool that was.

This thing is RIDICULOUSLY fast, and absolutely gorgeous to look at.
The camera, while only being a 5.0MP (and who really uses their phone to take portrait-quality pictures?), has zero lag and half-second shot refresh time. 1080p HD video is nice.
4G is fast enough for me, even up here in the sticks I'm pulling ~1300kBps down.
I give it five pocket protectors out of five.

I really like my HTC Inspire the screen is 4.3" and I can add music directly to the SD card then load it into the phone.

I like the zero shutter lag on the Galaxy. Supposedly that's coming with ICS Android to other phones, too.
I keep meaning to head to the Verizon store and check one out, but I haven't had time this week. I'll check one out soon.

Great phone!! I've had it since release and don't have any complaints. I have the CDMA-LTE version via Verizon and the 4G is awesome...game changer. Fast, plenty of room on the SD card, camera has Zero shutter speed, it's about a perfect phone.
