I'd like to think of myself as a pretty well educated mobile consumer.. I'd also like to think of myself as a mobile power user as I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty. I've currently got an EVO 3D I purchased from the OCN marketplace 
. Fun phone but I'm looking for something new and itching to use up a upgrade credit as I've been sitting on it for 5 months now which is unlike me 
. I'll have another full upgrade credit December first so this phone will only be a bridge until then. That being said I'll briefly outline my thoughts and I hope that you guys will take a few moments to respond with your own on the matter. TIA for any time you contribute to this thread 
Galaxy Nexus by Samsung | $149.99 - $50 G.Wallet | 1,850mAh
Pure Andorid,
epic ROM support
proven OC to 1.4GHz w/undervolt
official extended 2,100mAh battery
Manufactured by Samsung
Old but new 2 me
EVO 4G LTE by HTC | $149.99 - $10 G.Wallet | 2,000mAh
Will have solid ROM support
Will OC & Undervolt
Manufactured by HTC
Bleeding Edge
I've always wanted a Nexus device and I think this is the best chance for me to get one.. A big issue I'm having is getting over the price of each device. It's hard to justify the GNex looking at a $150 EVO4GLTE no matter the bloat and early adoption taxes.. I am a member of OCN and bleeding edge performance is in my DNA. The thing is my EVO 3D is fast enough@ 1.5GHz to do what I throw at now but ROM support has been disappointing for a CDMA HTC device.
Edit - I also wanted to mention the Google Wallet credit must be submitted by 05/22/12.. The EVO4GLTE hits shelves 05/18/12 but I can't imagine them lowering the price or overall cost of the GNex all that soon.
EVO4GLTE 149.99 -10 G.Wallet +35 activation = 175.99
GNex 149.99 -50 G.Wallet + 36 Activation = 135.99

. I ended up going with the EVO.. I got an additional $50 cash back from BOA thanks to Add It Up and WireFly. I couldn't pass up the improvements, the low price, and the Dropbox space. I'll post pics when it arrives, thanks everyone 
?
