My experience with Sony over the last dozen or so years has consistently been this. They make quality electronics, but anything that depends on their proprietary software from atrak mini disk and portable music players, to early mini dv cams to their own pack in bloatware for Vaio computers, to phone operating systems, Sony's software is skethcy at best, and at worst, it can be downright awful.
Android seems to be an improvement, but once you said custom “Nexus†skin, I have immediate reservations. I start wondering what Sony did to bloat and destroy a perfectly good phone OS.
What I've read has indicated that that Nexus is attractive and decent to use but was indeed pretty laggy. That said, it was an early development version that they were reviewing so they may well have tightened things up. That said, the joy of Android is that you can replace anything on it. If you don't like the Nexus skin, download one of the other home replacements and install it.

Still, I'm intrigued by how it will turn out.
