With all the issues the Galaxy Nexus is having, why is it being proclaimed the best?

I really have no major issues either.
I've not lost signal, other than the VZW outages.
The only issue I've had with browsing is a minor problem where for some reason I can't check the "Remember Me" box when I login to this site. So if I navigate away I have to re-login. I could check the box on my D1 though. Oddly, I was able to enable this for Galaxynexusforum.com, so perhaps it's a DF issue. Websites both desktop and mobile render fine.
My battery life has been as I expected for a 4G phone. I can get through the day, with light browsing, some game play, playing music (not streamed), phone calls and texts to the wife and kids.
Camera quality is really up to the user in my opinion. I do think the camera on the Rezound is better but my shots from the GNex have been quite acceptable to me.
Best phone for me.

BJU? :biggrin: Only school I know in Greenville!
Haha no Furman University a small liberal arts college with a beautiful campus (can't wait to get pictures of it!). Recently voted second most rigorous curriculum by Newsweek and almost upset Florida this year in football.

Love this phone but has the worst battery for any phone I've used. I couldn't get through 6 hours of use without charging it. I could see the battery draining right in front of me; even sitting. I'm on a ROM now and it's fantastic! Amazing what our Devs can do that Google can't or isn't willing to do!

I'd agree that battery cannot ever be considered a pro to the phone. I knew this going on tho and do not consider it an issue. It comes with the combination of screen, 4G LTE, and dual core fast processor. I'm confident solutions are being found however and am waiting for a must have portable super charger accessory.

Yes I just received my portable charger from Verizon, my extended battery and I have the car charger as well. I never buy any phone now without these accessories. The one thing I've noticed is that web surfing drains the battery the most. More than streaming. I am guessing that if you have GPS turned on and you're using location services that each time you get online it's tracks your location. This drains the batter. While traveling this past weekend, I had to use the web alot and it was the worst thing I could do with this phone. This is now an non issue for me however... I have the tools and solution to mitigate it.
pool shark.. i started to try what you were talking about in the browser.. however, I couldnt find desktop mode.. but all that looking around, I found inverted rendering... that's freaking awesome! thanks for making me inadvretantly find that!
All the issues Galaxy Nexus is having? Really? This is the most stable device I've owned to date, there's not one device that comes out that doesn't have some issue with someone. So far for me my GN has been really good across the board. This is still one of the best current devices on the Market, and with all the support it will get over time the best device to own IMHO....with all that said, it's certainly not for everyone either.

Did you try checking the box for request desktop site?

I've had both phones. The Rezound barely has a shutter lag and it does have a feature in the camera app that takes five fast, consecutive pictures with one press of the button.
And Panoramic mode, which works wonderfully.
