I'm due for a hardware upgrade tomorrow and I've been battling between these two phones in my head for the last month or so.

I'm an iPhone 3GS user currently and I love iOS, but I hear great things about Ice Cream Sandwich and the Galaxy Nexus, I've played around with one and it is awesome.

Right now I'm sort of leaning 60/40 toward the iPhone, and the big sticking points for me are two things:

1) I've already paid for and downloaded a whole bunch of apps and I'm comfortable with the interface and whatever. The iPhone is really intuitive and so simple to use. I'm a quick learner, so I don't think I'll have any problems using Android if I do switch, so this point isn't really as important as #2.

2) Support/repair. If I have a problem, there are two Apple stores that I can take the iPhone to and have them take care of it. Apple support and customer service has just been incredible the last couple years, I have heard nothing but good stories and had fantastic experiences every single time. There's no Samsung store if something happens to my Galaxy Nexus.

So I think my mind is pretty much made up, but I'm hoping someone here can give me a different view of things and bring me back to seriously considering the Galaxy Nexus. Any Android fans/Samsung phone users want to chime in?
