Don't buy a galaxy nexus. I was an Android fan boy and bought the Nexus One. "It's a Google phone!" I thought. I figured it would get timely updates and be a stable phone. It's far from stable.
I think a good anecdote for my frustrations is navigation. When I first bought the phone, I wasn't able to turn the screen off during navigation. I would turn it off, and it would turn itself back on draining my battery. An update came along and fixed it. For a little while it worked as I expected. Another update came along and now I can turn my screen off when navigating but 50% of the time when I do I have to unlock my screen.
Over time Android and it's core feature set have been consistently inconsistent. At first it's forgiveable because you assume upgrades will fix it, but its hard to call it anything but extremely poor quality at this point.
My next phone will be an iPhone

The ridiculous thing is that these apps relaunch and work fine on the 2nd or 3rd try, so why does Google give me an annoying crash popup instead of relaunching (like Browser is sometimes clever enough to do)
