    Finally. Got mine a little while ago.

    First impressions.

    What I like:
    -Nice build quality, good weight, fits nice in one hand.
    -I like the size/form factor more than I thought (so far).
    -I find touch to be responsive. A small hit when browsing, but nothing that affects the experience.
    -Jelly Bean in general is very responsive and smooth as reviews have indicated.
    -Like that it is a Nexus device, rather than carrier device, so I can get updates and new products from Google right away.
    -Comes with free movie and $25 Play credit (like) but it's Transformers: Dark of the Moon (dislike).

    What don't I like:
    -Not having a physical home button like my iPad. Kept trying to touch down there.
    -Why rotation is locked to portrait I don't know, but fixable in settings.
    -Turn by Turn nav is great... if it had 3G/LTE. My ISP has a lot of free wifi all over the city and growing, but still can't do that driving.

    I'll spend more time with it and grab a few apps that I also have on my iPad for direct comparisons.
