HTC sensation XE or Galaxy Nexus

it's not a leaked rom, ICS has been properly released for development, being open source and all

I know that, but regardless, it will still take quite a while to be fully functional.

On paper the Nexus wins but i would always be wary of picking up a phone straight at release - they all seem to have a few bugs these days. Even more so when there is an upgraded OS onboard.
If you can wait i would say see what the post release vibe is for the Nexus.
From what i've read the XE isn't really worth getting over the original Sensation unless you want a decent set of headphones. The Beats software doesn't do anything amazing and the speed gain is negligible. I'd have to say the GSII is probably a better bet with the only downside being the build quality feeling less quality to the HTC - for some people that is

I'll just leave this here.

Probably that quad core A9 + quad core T604 ARM leaked with the recently announced T658.
If it uses Sammys 32nm HKMG process, like the 4212, performance will be mind blowing. It should overclock like stank too! ~5 times faster than the current Exynos in the SGS2? Maybe...
It's probably more suited to a tablet (W8) but Samsung are going a bit spec mad of late, SGS3 anyone?

what about this one? http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_rezound-4099.php
No doubt Samsungs version will be butchered and made to look like IOS even more, emmm no thanks, rather have the pure stock goodness of ICS!
As for ROMs, can't remember exactly what/whos issue it is but for Samsung drivers from what I understand are extremely difficult to work with and as a result that is why CM is still buggy as hell which have some serious problems and will probably be a while till anything for use every day is out, so I wonder how long something like ICS which is pretty much a new OS by the looks of it will be? (where everything is working and stable)
And are you sure you aren't a wee bit jealous Tim?
Coming across like you really are and badly want a nexus cause you are slagging it off big time compared to the mobile that you currently have thus trying to persuade yourself that it really is crap

You don't have an LTE phone.
As for HSPA+, we already have that. It isn't 4G, no matter what some American mobile operators want you to believe.
Not the one you have.
The spectrum required for LTE technologies still needs to be auctioned off. It is years away.

seriously, either you are trolling, or are speaking about things you clearly have no idea about.
Open up google now, type in O2 4G trials, and read the links. Unfortunately I cant link using my phone over my amazing 3G connection.
BBC news - O2 begins 4G LTE trials in London, dated 14th November 2011.
Read any specification link for the galaxy nexus - 4G LTE.

Okay, i'll bite
I suggest you use google. Check out the physical differences between an LTE Galaxy Nexus and a 3G/HSPA+ Galaxy Nexus. See which you have.
The key word is trial. The technology itself isn't in doubt, demonstrating it is easy. They would have had special dispensation to do LTE trials from Ofcom on a temporary basis. The hold up for LTE networks is spectrum allocation.
You seriously fail at using google and I don't need to use google.
So whenever I am right, and someone else is wrong, I am a troll
Do some research, use google and learn.

Pentaband = 850 / 900 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100
Guess what LTE uses in the UK. 800 / 2600
Check the previous ofcom link I gave.
