Anyone using a Galaxy Nexus Smartphone on Verizon?

I am thinking about picking one up tomorrow and just thought I'd get some advice on it. I have the iPhone 4s and am quite bored with it lol.

My old droid 1 made the iphone feel like a cheap piece of plastic. It survived everything, even being rolled over with a chair. My new samsung captivate glide feels like a cheap piece of plastic though.

Hahahahahahaha. One thing the iPhone has that no other phone comes close to is build quality. I love how solid it feels. I have yet to see that with Android. Erin, nice job comparing and contrasting the two.

I'm gonna try out the Nexus today and see if I like it. Others have reported it's a night and day difference from any other Android phone. We'll see. :0

The last two iPhones (4 and 4S) are about as gorgeous and solid of a phone as there are right now. They are stunning to look at and to hold. That being said, there are some gorgeous Droids, too. And some with bigger screens, too.

I agree. Just don't drop the iPhone. ;)

Ok I went to the Verizon store and played with the Nexus for about a half hour and I didn't like it. I liked all the options but browsing a website was so bad. It lagged like crazy. Verizon's LTE was not as fast as I have seen on the web. I ran a couple speed tests and got 20mbps down which is nice but I've seen greater than 40Mbps. I'll stick with my AT&T iPhone for now.

I don't think it would be worth it to switch to Verizon when they have data limits and are more money a month. I was hoping the phone would make up for that but unfortunately it did not. I'll stick with my iPhone 4s until the 5 hits AT&T. :/

Thanks to everyone for your insight!!!!
