New phone help ?

My Droid 2 just died on me recently and I really wanted to get the Galaxy Nexus, but my experience with Android has always been like a boyfriend girlfriend relationship :). If you know what I mean. My other options is either is the 4S on VZW or get the Nexus with my pending upgrade ? or upgrade to the 4S and buy the Galaxy unlocked and get a prepaid contract with unlimited with it ? There I will be able to get the next Google phone if Google will stay loyal to selling hardware.

They both server different wants. Personally, the iPhone is to small for me and I don't like how IOS does some things things, like no app drawer, it just puts all your apps on the screen. I also drop my phone quite often and I don't like using cases, so iPhone would be out for me. If you are with VZW, you can only use the CDMA/LTE version, not the one Google is selling directly. Both phones have great features, go to the store and look at both. See which one you like better.

I can't tell you what to do, but I can tell you what I did. I bought my GNex outright as soon as the price dropped to 399 and I've been laughing for the past two weeks. I got the GSM one because there's always a carrier anywhere in the world that can handle it (i.e. for travel). T-Mobile also has some great plans if you own your own phone. Finally, I got a screen protector for my phone, I got Ghost Armor because of the kiosk that sells is nearby, but XOSkins has amazing customer service from what I've read on XDA developers.

Oh, and I bootloader unlocked, rooted, and replaced the ROM on my with AOKP within a few hours of owning the phone. Freaking awesome.
