HTC Rezound or Galaxy Nexus?

You really can't go wrong either way. For me it was an easy choice. I love AOSP and pure Android so going for the Gnex was a no brainer. The rezound is a great phone however. If you like Sense it is a great option, it is a little heavier and feels more sturdy than the gnex. It has a faster processor but more bloat. I wouldn't suggest you worry about versions of the OS. If ICS is a must right now for you then go Gnex if you just want to make sure you get an upgrade to it in the future the rezound will get it as well.
If you haven't already go to the store and look at the display models and see how they feel in your hands.
I am voting gnex due to my dislike of sense.

I am furious with both phones for being so flimsy. I was very spoiled by my Droid1 and Droid2. I hate the idea of spending $600+ on a phone and then turning around and needing a case. I dropped my Droids several times on concrete (I'm clumsy.) I doubt these two would survive inside my purse.
That being said, I bought the Nexus. I like sense and the fact that the Resound has an SD slot but having the latest version of Android right away is really nice. HTC phones are usually harder to root and very late getting updates. Sense looks great but I don't like how hard it used to be to used different skins/launchers.
The thing is: while people complain about the Nexus' signal strength, I don't have that problem. When I run the Speedtest.net app the results are satisfactory and that is all I care about. What is unacceptable is the fact that it drops the data connection and I have to reboot to get it back. I will not keep this phone if that isn't resolved before the end of my trial.

You didn't offer the third option..... neither phone.
I'm still waiting for my next phone to be released, which I'm guessing will be sometime after CES and World Congress (or whatever it's called) Possibley my next phone hasn't been announced yet. I'm using an "X" now and it's working beautifully, best phone I've ever had actually. (Hope that statement doesn't jinx me!)
