I already have a Galaxy Nexus, and I just bought a Nexus 7 tablet for the NFC capabilities, because I couldn't wait any longer for the PlayBook 4G with NFC.

I'll still be developing for BlackBerry 10, and BlackBerry 7 will still be my daily device. But I will be shifting my focus to Android for now, for strategic reasons.

RIM dun goofed if they're losing people like me.

When even you're pissed, I know it's bad.

I thought of getting the Galaxy Nexus due to the stock Android, but my carrier in Jamaica just launched the quad-core S3 for USD 715, so I'm gonna go with that.

What's your PIN? Might as well enjoy it while it lasts...

Do not get any Android phone that is not Nexus. You will regret it in the end.

You'll only regret it if you have an obsession with upgrading your OS. If you don't really care, any phone running ICS right now will suit you fine.

So the UI responsiveness updates that were implemented in Jelly Bean, I shouldn't care about those kinds of things?

Wanting an updated OS != obsession over OS updates.

If you don't notice the UI being unresponsive on an ICS stock phone, no. (As an aside, the only good phone/tablet I've tried on ICS that has responsiveness issues is the Galaxy Nexus. Anecdotal, but still.)

Listen to this man! He is absolutely bang on. That's my only regret with going Samsung Galaxy instead of Nexus.
