Purchased a SGN last week. I love the interface that was created by the Google/Samsung team. Once you get use to it -- it's great.
Wish the team had focused more on the hardware. Here is a list of issues that I have uncovered in using the phone for less that a week:
- The speaker is poor. Volume is not good; not good at all.
- The antennae must be in the wrong place in the phone architecture as I'm dropping calls. I've lived in the same house for 22 years and the route I take to my office has been the same. I never, ever dropped calls with my Verizon Thunderbolt. Now, its like, I am afraid to make calls. I can tell when I loose a signal as my Bluetooth headset disconnects and it happens frequently.
- The screen movement from vertical to horizontal is EXTREMELY slow and sometimes doesn't happen.
- The people icon takes forever to pull up my contact. Very Slow.
- The phone function is very slow to pull up the desired info.
- I suspect there are serious issues between 4G and 3G signals.
- I use to get 5 bars of signal strength in my home (tower not far away). Now it's like 3 bars one minute and no bars the next minute.
I wish the development team had spent more time on hardware issues. I'd be embarrassed if I were Samsung and Google. The Nexus has tremendous potential but the hardware is awful.
