Why ask questions, these comments are very revealing. They suggest an Anti-Android bias from the get go. It makes it rather obvious what the agenda is.
anti-android? Are you joking? This forum needs to be purged of all fanboys, whichever side they are on.
I came from a DX, DX2, currently on a Droid Charge, and preordered a Galaxy Nexus on the first day it was available.
You are going to tell me I am biased? LOL!

Ok, here's a question/ request.
You know how in iPhone 4/4S if you look on web pages in portrait mode you can see the text clearly without needing to zoom in? Can you try that on the Galaxy Nexus if it's the same or is it blurry? I think it would be blurry because it's PenTile.

Btw, I bet when you get used to the Nexus it will be hard to go back to iPhone for a while, it will look too small! Lol trust me, I went to SGS2 for a few weeks and it was hard getting use to the iPhone again.
I will be sure to check that out. But I can address some pentile concerns just based off of my experience in the store, as I looked specifically for it:
I came from a DX2 which had terrible pentile pixelation and gradiation problems, so I was extremely concerned that the Nexus would suffer as well. So when I went to the store, I checked for pixelation and gradiation, and I found NONE.
I checked at minimum brightness, autobrightness, and max brightness; I held the phone from arms-length and held it up close to my face; I turned the screen from all viewing angles; I looked at different background colors, at icons on the homescreen, etc.--after all this, I couldn't see a single pixel.
It was one of the best screens I have ever seen in my life. The contrast, colors, resolution, etc. were all top notch. I think the only negative was the screen brightness, but it is on par with my Droid Charge and my original DX. It's hardly dim, it's just not as bright as say, teh DX2's screen.
I also double-tapped to zoom the browser on the macrumors website (normal view, not mobile) and zoomed into text on a white background with pinch to zoom. I was completely surprised not to see any pixels there either, and was surprised by how sharp everything looked. I was expecting to see jagged edges on zoomed in text, but it was completely smooth.
I remember seeing pictures/video reviews of the Nexus where you can clearly see pixelation/grids on the screen, especially on the homescreen icons. After my experience in the store, I have to say that is probably just an effect of capturing the screen on camera, and you probably won't see any of that with your eyes. I should disclaim that I do not have 20/20 vision, but I was wearing my glasses and my eyesight should be pretty average. So don't jump on my case if you are 15/15 and catch a pixel.
It's really a beautiful screen.
However, I have read reports of some aliasing/ghosting on black backgrounds while watching movies, and some gradiation problems on gray backgrounds on the Nexus forums. I have not seen any of that personally, but will look for it tomorrow.
