Just wondering about how many people actually bother syncing the contact list on their smart phone with their computers.

The Galaxy Nexus is nice because it's supported directly by Google (so already has Jelly Bean, the most recent Android OS release) and is generally a great phone but some people don't like the fact it doesn't have a microsd slot so you can't add extra storage to it. 16Gb is enough for me, but not enough for much of my music but then I have a tiny mp3 player for that (40Gb of storage). It also has a rather large screen, M doesn't like mine because it's too big for her hands so I found her a used Nexus S instead (~GBP150 on ebay with the usual be careful about what you're buying used on ebay, particularly for screen scratches).

There's a lot of variety in Android phones on the market which is good but can make choosing one first somewhat challenging. Some of the cheaper ones seem appealing but in practice don't have enough internal storage or a fast enough CPU/GPU to run the most recent Android releases (such as the HTC Desire). Phones that ship with ICS (android 4.0) or are supported by CyanogenMod 9 are a reasonable starting point.
