A lot of people keep saying once *any phone* gets ICS, GNex will lose its biggest advantage. Those are the ones who does not understand what a Nexus phone is.

Nexus line is Google's own version of Android phone, but because they are not hardware manufacturer, they pick OEMs to make one for them.  Nexus line will be updated with future Android versions, and definitely among the first to get it, because they are getting directly from the source, Google. They will also receive longer support officially, Note gets ICS... Nexus gets Jelly Bean, and the K update, or more. Nexus S and Galaxy S is a prime example.

Also as a reference platform for OEMs to build their phone with, and for apps developers to update their apps to be compatible with the latest iteration of Android. So its quite essential to update the Nexus line first before any other phones.

Another "small" advantage is, custom developers will always support the Nexus line, especially CM and MIUI, as a tribute to Android.

Finally, design. Imo, so far every Nexus's design has been distinct, something special among Android phones. Imo Nexus One is one of the sleekest looking phone, but for some reason its under appreciate at its time. Nexus S, not so much but still it is something different, and now its design has been perfected with the Galaxy Nexus.

Totally agree, plus with Google releasing their android design article on how to create apps based on the android looks, apps on the market will get better hopefully, apps on market just look kinda ugly to me.But the fact that gnexus no microsdcard to me is a deal breaker. I need extra storage. If it had one,I would consider it the best smartphone on the market now

sgs2 cm9 doesnt have mtp or usb transfer yet. you should have read in sgs2 forums, its a popular redundant post bout this. biggrin.gif either adb or remove battery use external sd or use cmw and mount usb storage.
