Dislikes are minor and more of personal.

None of his dislikes bother me at all. He didn't like the build quality, on-screen buttons taking up some of the screen, some apps not working for Ice Cream Sandwich yet, headphone jack on the bottom, and power button on the side.

Personally I think the build quality is really good for being plastic. When you hold the phone in one hand, you grip the sides and there's no give at all. Yeah the back battery cover is a little flimsy, but you don't stand there holding your phone backwards and keep poking the back in. Lol

The on screen buttons were designed like that for a reason. Instead of having physical buttons that never go away, the screen was lengthened to include the buttons. If it had physical buttons instead, the phone would either be even longer or the screen would be shorter and you wouldn't get that extra bit of screen for watching videos. Derp moment.

I think I came across one app that didn't work on...oh yeah. NFL Mobile. I don't even watch football. I just wanted to check out the app.

The headphone jack on the bottom works out better because I put my phone in my pocket upside down. With my iPhone, I had to flip it right side up when I listened to music. Fsr I still feel like the headphone jack should be on the top - I guess because I'm just used to it that way - but it makes more sense to put it on the bottom.

And I actually thought I wouldn't like the power button on the side. After using it for a week now, I prefer it on the side. The phone is too big for it to be on top. I have to slide the phone down my hand a little to be able to reach the top of the phone with my finger. Plus it makes taking screenshots one handed super easy. On the iPhone, the power button is perfectly fine on top but on this phone it makes much more sense on the side. This dude needs to learn how to use his thumb to support the phone right above the volume buttons because it's way too easy to press the power button left handed without pressing the volume buttons.

Totally agree on the headphone jack. But I don't like the screen, subpixels an whatnot...

I think the iPhone's headphone jack location sucks. When I turn it to landscape, I always turn it to the left with the home button on the right side. When I have headphones in, it makes it really uncomfortable to hold. I always wished Apple would have switched the headphone jack and the power button. It would solve that problem because the headphone cable could go between my fingers and also make it easier to unlock in your right hand.

But the bottom option is waay worse.

I don't think so. It's easier to put it in your pocket when you've got headphones in. As long as it's not on the top left or bottom left I'm fine.

Yeah that's what I said. For some reason I still like it better on top but it's more convenient on bottom.

The only thing I don't like about the Nexus is the on-screen buttons. I prefer physical, and wouldn't mind sacraficing that small amount of screen space.

I don't like physical. I'd rather capacitive buttons over physical.
