I moved from the EVO 3D to the Nexus over the weekend (had the original EVO before that). I really like this phone!
I did debate rather heavily between the EVO LTE, GNex and the upcoming SGS3.
Multitasking issues for EVO LTE made is unappealing, while the SGS3 was 'unknown' and I don't really like their UI much
I'm glad I got the GNex (bought used - got a great rate - excellent condition)
There were some minor issues (like notification LED) for which I found workarounds - thanks to the sticky posts on this site.
There are still a few features that I miss from the EVO series - still looking for workarounds for these
1. No smart dialer (I like the dialer UI on GNex, but wish it had the ability to
dial the name of the contact directly
2. Contact pictures, on incoming calls - HORRIBLE! On the EVO, I had the same issue, but could assign a local image to that contact to get good resolution. Tried the same on the GNex, but the picture on the GNex still sucks
3. Flip to silence, pocket mode (increase volume) features from Sense
4. Clear app cached data option (not that big a deal)
5. No MAP profile on Bluetooth (EVO would allow text messages to be read out by my car)
6. No easy way to block callers (I'm guessing tasker app will let me do that - have to look into that)
7. No Sprint Visual Voicemail (only option appears to be to use sprint GV integration - I'm really not keen on that)
Do I regret my purchase? Absolutely not! I really like this phone (I knew about most of these shortcomings before I purchased it - didn't know about the smart dialer and the notification LEDs earlier)
I actually tried the GNex and the EVO LTE in the sprint store side by side and found their response to be identical (call me crazy, but I felt the GNex performed a little better, and I felt that the GNex screen was better - the deep black of the AMOLED is neat! I know, I know, product reviews and specifications disagree with me, but regardless, I like the GNex so far)
