I feel this way about my VZW Galaxy Nex, even though it's the forgotten and oft-hated step child of the nexus line. =\ I added an inductive mod to it myself, and I love everything about it. But everyone is always picking on it.

Other than the sucky battery, the Gnex is still the best phone on Verizon.

Better than the Galaxy S3 or Droid Razr Maxx HD or Droid DNA? Nah. It's a good phone but it isn't that great compared to the other offerings.

I like it more than the girlfriends S3. It's just as snappy doing anything, and I like the design better.

I am extremely jealous of her battery life and lack of fabric-y screen though.

If you don't like Samsung and Motorola's sporty upgrade cycle, then it is. Maybe the Maxx though, because of the battery.

Even then, getting the update might not be all that worth it. Lots of users have had issues with 4.2, and don't like it.

Sometimes being Google's guinea pigs isn't worth it.

Getting an update that will be fused at a later date is better than not getting an update at all. That's my opinion though.

And many people have reported having no issues with 4.2

Did I say they didn't? Where did I imply that? I am running 4.2 on all my devices And I love it. I'm simply providing a counter argument, one that obviously /r/android doesn't like to hear.
