Waited in line for it the day it was released and still carry a first-gen in my pocket everyday. An amazingly solid piece of hardware. I know I'm missing out on new features, but I can't help wondering just how long it will go for.
I wish they'd do a new aluminium-based design. My mom's still using my old ('08?) Nokia E71 that also has a metal body, and it barely looks a day old (not just wrt wear, if it weren't for the keyboard you'd never know it was made four years ago). My Nexus doesn't feel anywhere near as solid, and I've seen way too many iPhone 4s with cracked glass (and the 3G design gets messed up _way_ too easily). A new Al-based iPhone 5 might tempt me over (doubting it, thanks to the NFC rumors)
