Currently, I have Tmobile, and am using my sister's old Motorola Milestone (Motorala Droid)

Now the Motorola Droid is a good phone, but i've had this phone for a while, it's pretty buggy, slow, and can get on my nerves when it doesn't function correctly. I thought it would be a good time to get a new phone

Some specs on the Galaxy Nexus

As most of you know, this phone kicks my Milestone's --- and is certainly going to be one of the top android phones this year.

So my question goes out to you guys. What do you guys think? Should i go for it? Should i go for something else?

Thanks

If you want to keep the OG Droid for awhile longer, look into ROMs and overclocking for it. I'm sure it had and still has a huge dev community. You can get a lot more out of older phones than you might think!

Some of my favorite ROMs that are available for multiple phones are Cyanogenmod (7.1) and MIUI.

I don't get it. Why don't you like it? There's really nothing wrong with it, considering it is the best performer, awesome looking, the screen resolution looks fantastic, and the support from El Goog will be top-notch. Is it the size? It's quite big.

I'm guessing it's because it is big, or that since it has the plastic casing rather than a nice solid one. That is a slight setback, but I'm totally fine with that. I mainly care for the actual hardware, rather than the build

Towards Everyone Else: Thanks for the help. Looks like I will be getting this phone Will maybe post my own review once I do

Thanks

Good choice. Considering plastic is the easily thr best material for phone construction, I'm sure that isn't the problem. Personally, I'm getting the Droid Razr soon, but I want to wait a while longer and get this if I can. The release date is a bit later than I expected.

A simple change of launcher will rectify that, my friend. Maybe even a new wallpaper. At least you aren't stuck with all the cutesy-ness of iOS. The bundled apps look like they're from a century ago.
