The Nexus is 599 with a 24 month contract? That is definitely not worth it. The Galaxy II is supposed to get the 4.0 upgrade, the not will most likely get it as well. I'd say if you don't want a gigantic phone, go with the $99 Galaxy 2. If you want a phone so large that it doubles as a tablet, go for the Note. If it is $599, I wouldn't recommend the Galaxy Nexus unless it is off contract.
