Hardware is not the cloud. They can't release new versions. google never addressed any hardware issues (3 of them) with the Nexus One they sold.
4mo and they closed the support forums.
Never a single email replied. Even via the google wallet mediation (ha!)

is there anyway to take that default google search bar off the homescreens or does it just stay on all the time?
It is nothing more than a widget and can be removed at will. EDIT: Whoops misunderstood the question and gave a completely wrong answer. See replies.
Wow. I ordered an HTC One S a few days ago but it hasn't shipped yet. It was $549- $399 is a lower enough price that it is sorely tempting. And it's a Nexus device. The only issue I have is the size of the thing. Hmm. Are there any GNexus owners our there that can tell us about the size of the device? It's the one real sticking point I have with it. EDIT: For anyone else that's wondering, I looked up the refund polic…
The Nexus name doesn't mean as much as it used to. Not all Nexus devices offer a pure Android experience - the Verizon version of Nexus will not have Google Wallet. In term of timely updates, the HTC Sensation received ICS update in March 2012 while the Sprint Nexus S 4G was not updated until early April. So take that for what its worth. Don't be surprised if Google ends up allowing carriers and manufacturers to prov…
And thus my paranoia about buying a new phone is justified - my 14 day "free to cancel" period with Verizon just ended, and now this is announced.
" The unlocked Galaxy Nexus requires GSM compatible service provider for voice calling. In the United States this includes AT&T and T-Mobile. Phones purchased from devices on Google Play are not compatible with Verizon or Sprint."

It is quite large, but I never have trouble fitting it in my pocket (no matter how skinny the jeans). I find it quite comfortable for one-handed texting, and ICS makes texting much easier than earlier releases. Personally I think ICS will make a larger positive impact on your user experience than size could make a negative one.
That said, the bigger screen is absolutely wonderful for browsing and reading in general; I much prefer Chrome on the GNex to my wife's iPhone 4S.
It's a taste and usage thing. I find for my needs it works very well. Someone who does a lot of one-handed work (while, er, driving maybe) is going to want a smaller phone.
Is this being sold at a loss? An unlocked 16GB iPhone 4S is costs $650. If not, I'm impressed at the price point Samsung is able to achieve given the Galaxy Nexus's feature parity with the iPhone 4S. Which begs the question, why not spend an extra ~$150 per unit to really blow it out of the water, specs wise?
You can get a Nokia Lumia 710 for less than $200 unlocked without a contract in the UK. Why the the iPhone 4S/Galaxy Nexus cost what they do I don't know...

I thought the Nexus S size was perfect, but the Galaxy S II is tolerable.
I find the phonearena.com size comparison tool really handy. http://www.phonearena.com/phones/Samsung-GALAXY-Nexus_id5595...

I have one and prefer the size. The screen is unbelievably beautiful, and I love watching Netflix on it while at the gym. The _only_ size related gripe I have is when I am using it one handed and need to reach the upper left corner with my thumb. That's kinda tough. That and it doesn't fit in my skinny jeans.

It seems to be based on the standard launcher, but allows you to customize a lot of things, including the search widget.
