Default [Q] Galaxy Nexus To The Note?

I've gone from the Dell Streak -> Galaxy Nexus and am now considering going back to a 5"+ screen.

Does anyone have any insight regarding this change? I really love ICS, which is why I'm hesitant to switch, but I miss all that extra screen real estate! Perhaps I'm better served waiting a few more months until devs get their hands on an official Note build of ICS. Thanks for any help you guys can give.

I have both! Ics is way better than gingerbread. But the note is a phenomenal device! There's no other device like it! Ics is supposed to be release for the note but I don't know when exactly.

You'll hate it. It's terrible going back to GB after having had ICS. The hardware is fantastic, but they really need to get ICS out.

I got a guy that wants to trade me a brand new Galaxy Nexus for my Note. I'm so tempted because I had ICS on my Nexus S and loved it but I also really love the Note...
Galaxy Note 2 on US Cellular. Nexus 4 on AT&T. Nexus 7. HTC Evo and Verizon MiFi 2200 on Verizon PrePaid.

Basically the same situation I'm in. I had a Nexus S with factory ICS.

I'm basically giving them to the end of March to get ICS out (Not from ATT, I realize that won't happen, but a leak from Samsung or CM9 or something). If they don't, I'll probably trade/sell for a Galaxy Nexus, even though I like the Note's hardware more.

There's literally no aspect of the OS I can think of that wasn't drastically improved in ICS. Literally everything is better. One great example is the absolutely insane way they want you to mount as SD card in GB.

Unplug cable, go to menu > Wireless and networks > USB settings, press connect, plug cable in, Press connect again.

Seriously?

I miss my AOKP on my galaxy nexus I had on verizon, but with the deal I got I couldn't pass up the note. (they accidentally put me on a dumbphone ETF with Verizon and AT&T gave me all 3 of my family plan phones for %50, so the note was only $150) However much I enjoy my note, I miss ICS and the fluidity AOKP brought that android version. I cant wait for a CM9/AOKP/AXIOM/anything ICS Rom.
