It's a very solid if not outstanding phone. The real standout here is Ice Cream Sandwich with the actual hardware of the phone leaving something to be desired. The most notable failure here is the poor camera, which struggles to take good photos even in decent light. While the construction of the phone itself seems solid, the materials feel cheap for what should be a aspiration product. Despite it's shortcomings, I would still recommend this over the no doubt many Android phones coming with ICS, as this is a pure Google device, avoiding the ugly skinning that OEMs place on their phones and it will be first in line for updates to the OS.
