I... Love... This... Phone...

It takes beautiful pictures at an amazing speed, I get absolutely 0 crashes using multiple different applications, battery ALWAYS lasts at least the whole day no matter how hard I use it, and I love every single features ICS has to offer. I am in no way jealous of anything my iPhone friends can do with their phone and I will gladly buy another Nexus device when I'll decide to change phone.

I just wanted to offer the different experience I've had...

You mean the scrolling is smooth for you?

Edit:

Key steps in writing that comparison table:

1. Whatever iOS 6 has and ICS does not, list it to be on ICS via third party.

2. Don't do third party additions on the iOS 6 column as if there are no third party apps on that platform.

Might as well say, "Android is open-source and since the phones are Turing machines Android does everything ever possible by a computer through third-party support. Maybe it's a painful experience but it does do it." More than that, I'm tired of looking at such comparisons that boil down features to bullet points. Imagine BlackBerry running the following ad after the announcement of the iPhone in 2007:

   BlackBerry already offers more that what is coming in the iPhone.
   Open websites, send messages, make phone calls, read your email.

Disclaimer: I got my first iPhone this February after being a Nexus user for more than 2 years. And while my Nexus technically did everything that the iPhone does it feels very painful to use. Not just the scrolling. I don't even want to go into details but there definitely are people who don't care about such things and that's perfectly fine.

ICS scrolling is smooth and responsive for me, even on rather lower-end devices. Gingerbread definitely had some scrolling issues, but they've pretty much been fixed.

Something is definitely wrong with his particular phone. I don't have any of those problems either.

If he's running a custom ROM he should find a better one or return to stock. If that's not the case, a warranty replacement is in order because something is definitely faulty with his hardware.

Seconding this guy. It was great when I got it stock, and now I've put AOKP on it, it's even smoother, more responsive, and can do even more.

Sounds like there might be a hardware issue with the previous person's device perhaps?
