My iPhone has the same problem :(
I have a Galaxy Nexus and have never had this issue.
My Galaxy Nexus reboots during phone calls about 3 times per month. When it happens, it will usually happen 2-3 times in a row, so it seems to be tickled by something environmental like a network problem.
Interesting that nearly all the affected phones seem to have been purchased and used in either Germany or Italy---that may point to a problem with a particular production run. (Also interesting, though unsurprising, that Google has not weighed in on this month-old thread.)
It seems this issue affects the GSM version of Galaxy Nexus (i9250) and only handsets manufactured in August 2012.
why is this unsurprising? (isn't Google usually pretty responsive?)

Slightly off topic, but can anyone recommend an android phone that the vendor actually supports properly, isn't chock full of bugs, lasts an entire a day on battery doesn't have some crappy UI on it (like touchwiz) and is built like a Nokia 3310?

I've got a 5 year old Symbian Nokia that is on its last legs and I really don't want to pick a lemon.

Any of the Nexus phones (new ones are coming very soon) are just great. Consistently supported and updated as well.
I doubt you'll find anything built like a 3310 outside of ruggedized phones for construction workers that survive being run over with a bulldozer, and I don't think those are cheap.
Something that doesn't die when I drop it once a day would be good enough (even if it is a 3rd party case for something else).
Oh the things my Android phone didn't do when calling or receiving a call... it rebooted, froze, missed calls because UI was unresponsive for 2 minutes and you couldn't answer the call...
I'm on my second Galaxy Nexus (switched from CDMA on Verizon to the GSM model from the Play Store, on T-Mobile) and both of them have been absolutely flawless. Never been so satisfied with a phone before; running CM10.
I had this same problem with my Galaxy Nexus. My sim card was really old and after the change and 4.0.4 update now it works great.
