Battery life is average... it is the only thing I would want to improve (and probably will with a higher capacity battery). With everything on (syncing, auto-brightness, wi-fi, GPS) I get a day's worth of use (9am-11pm and about 2.45 hours of screen-on time). With my crappy old HTC Snap (Windows mobile 6.5) phone without any syncing features I could go 2 days without charging and I kind of miss that.. especially when travelling. But I'm sure I could turn off all the syncing on the GNex and achieve at least a day and a half if I really wanted to (but then what's the point)

Pentile HD is gorgeous despite all the negative you might've heard. I thought I'd be really picky too and was even considering the HTC One X due to it's superior display... but as I squint closely at the details on the Nexus' screen, it almost looks like my home screen is printed on high quality photo-paper. The only time you might notice the pentile arrangement is if some app prominently featured single-pixel white lines all over the place. I've also heard somewhere that solid white colours aren't represented correctly and appear a little yellowish or something, but so far I haven't noticed or it just hasn't bothered me. What I did notice, however, is how rich and dark the colour black appears. I was watching Kung Fu Panda 2 on Netflix the other day with my nephew and I noticed that in certain dark scenes I couldn't tell where the screen ends and where the bevel begins.

These impressions might all be tinted with my sub-standard experience with the HTC Snap before this so take it with a grain of salt (Although I did use an iPad 2 for several weeks and also have experience with my brother's iPhone 4 and with both I felt very limited in what I could do and at certain points felt downright annoyed)
