To be honest, iPhone is a fine phone to use. I don't see why iPhone cannot be added to your phone list. It's just whether you want to buy it or not. It IS a phone anyway.

I've never owned a Nexus device, but the main problem I have with the models that have come out lately is that they feel like too little, too late. By the time they come out, the high-end phones packing their specs (plus SD card slots, which Nexus devices lack) have already come out over the last 8 months or so. I'd rather just grab that year's Galaxy S in the summertime, rather than wait till november or december to grab a Nexus running 6 month old hardware. That said, since my upgrade isn't till the end of this year anyway, I very well may grab the next Nexus device after all.
You basically hit the nail on the head. I love Samsung's hardware, but their software support is absolutely abysmal. I still happily rock my Samsung Epic (one of the original Galaxy S models), thanks in no small part to amazing custom ROMs like CyanogenMod. Heck, I'm running CM9 (ICS) right now, and they're already working on CM10 (JB).
Software - as long as you root, no biggie.
I have no idea about your region, but Samsung Singapore's customer care is likely going to make me pull away from their phones for some time. They exceeded the repair date without notifying, promised to "call back" but did not, plus they fixed nothing at ALL and I had to send my phone for repair TWICE.
I have an LG Optimus 2x rooted with Cyanogenmod 7.1 and I think I should update to Cyanogenmod 9 when they make chrome available for it (man, I wish that could happen sooner).
It's a good phone with high specs for the price, but the battery...ugh, the battery, it's awful, and LG's software support too. The Google Nexus has 4.1 and has lower specs than the 2.3 Optimus 2x. That means that LG's excuse for not updating it is stupid (they said hardware is too outdated). I should have gotten a Nexus while I could but it's a nice phone.

That's the main reason I stick with Samsung phones, dspite that.
I live in the USA. And trust me, phone repairs are ridiculous, no matter where you go. Sprint flat-out denies there's an issue (when there clearly is), hard-resets your phone, and pretends it's fixed, no matter how many times you go back with the same problem. Verizon sends you a refurbished phone, but all their refurbs have the exact same problem, because whenever someone returns a phone, they just repackage it and send it as a refurb, because they dont give a crap about properly testing them. -_-

I thought it doesn't come out for a few more days? But cool. What do you think, so far?
It's not out for a few more days, I think he said they get 2 deliveries before release and as I said he sold me one of the sly (I don't think his boss cares much) Its not that bad tbh a little weird to look at spending 2 years with an iphone 4, but it def is abit quicker, siri's kind of off her game atm but that might be because its not supposed to be released yet
I don't even know if i can jailbreak it (dont want to try yet either) so benchmark not happening. Don't really know how to explain how much faster it is, only way to explain is by saying iphone 4 used to lag for a second or 2 when opening specifics apps, iphone 5 is instant, kinda like it knows im going to open it before i do, so prepares itself.
If gunna miss alot of jailbreak apps though

It hasn't been released to the public yet, so I doubt the jailbreak devs can even MAKE a jailbreak exploit for it yet.
Im sure if I got my hands on one early then someone with some actually skills has prob got one early as well. Either way i'm not even trying to do anything with it until im told its safe, it cost me a lot of money and im not going to break it on day 1 lol

The jailbreak team is a specific team of people though. It isn't "whatever random person who decides to hack the phone." It's a specific person (or group of people) who do it. It's like cyanogenmod on Android. It's made of a specific team.

I'm, you could say, an hardcore Apple fan (trying not to be a fanboy tho). I just see sometimes that iPhone users (me included, I guess) like to show them off more than android users do.

@Veho, Sounds and smells like bullshit. They don't give you cancer, and California should know that. I don't get why they stick labels that say "may or may not cause reproductive harm or cancer". -
