Cool Returning the Galaxy S3, might get Nexus, any major Nexus problems?

I'm most likely returning the Galaxy S3, because of major static/crackly noise when using the headphones. Had the problem with two different S3's.

Thinking about ordering Galaxy Nexus from the play store, but I want to know if there are any major issues with the Nexus from the play store.

1) Sound issues/Call quality?

2) Bluetooth issues?

3) Speakerphone issues, low volume?

4) Headphone issues?

5) Any strange noises?

6) Any other possible issues that I should know about before I purchase?

7) Horrible battery life?

8) GPS, forgot about that one.
Thanks

It's all awesome...everything is made to perfection considering it's Google's first phone to run Android 4.0
The only thing is, if you don't run the right kernel your battery can suffer. But you can get double the battery off Amazon for around $10, so it's not a big deal.

Thanks, what about the GPS. Navigation is very important, does it work properly?

Yeah, it's great. There were some issues on Jelly Bean with it, probably because they were updating the GPS servers but now there are fixes if it doesn't work well

The gps functionality varies? How so?
It's not a horrific failure like the original Galaxy S, is it? GPS on my Vibrant practically never worked.

I am very glad that GPS works great. I just ordered my Galaxy Nexus yesterday. I use my GPS to check traffic on my way to work every morning
