As somebody currently stuck on Sprint's awful 3G service around home but having sampled their 4G service while traveling, I can personally assure you of that. |

I don't doubt you. But you are nevertheless limited in what you're able to do with a 8gb phone.

The new Google phone as no removable memory!
That is a nonstarter! It is like a disease. Apple. Amazon. Now Google. |

http://www.mobilemag.com/2012/10/31/...t-one-for-you/ My advice is let you wallet decide as there's not a huge difference between them accept of course $200+ quad core CPU , NO samsung touchwiz and some tasty new gizmos. The nexus 4 screen is a true IPS screen unlike the annoying Pentile type on the S3 http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/...ould-you-care/ But you should remember that when you buy a samusng product you automatically put yourself in a very slow route for upgrades and if you buy a Google device you will always have the latest updates. So far i have had 3 updates in 3 months for jelly bean since it's release and the 4.2 update is imminent which brings a host of new features and also brings even greater speed to the OS. Jelly bean 4.2 will increase the gap even more between those that have it and those that are still stuck with ice cream sandwich and even older android versions.

The HTC Nexus 5 should be making an appearance sometime soon.

As to LTE I don't quite see the requirement in a mobile device when data plans are still capped but at least I would expect the device to support the frequencies that are being used where I live. To my knowledge here in Germany the Lumia 920 is going to be the only phone that covers all LTE frequencies. The iPhone 5 doesn't. Last edited by CommonReader; 11-01-2012 at 06:55 AM. |

In the UK we are in the same boat as Germany and so MANY other countries with poor or no LTE /4G coverage, so it's a waste of money if your a early adopter. The service is pitiful so far and is very overpriced as i read that they did a uk survey and 70% of current 3G mobile users questioned would not be switching to 4G/LTE because of the high price and coverage. 4G wont become a creditable phone network for some time to come ,at least outside the Usa. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/11...iew/page3.html ''I can live with HSPA+, especially since it’s cheaper. So why pay extra for high speeds now and then but generally the same speeds I’m getting anyway?'' ''I won’t be rushing to use 4G, then, at least not for the time being. EE’s network has the potential to deliver very high broadband speeds, but in too few places. As I said at the start, EE is still building out its network, and coverage can only improve. But there’s little mileage for me in being an early adopter. The Register will continue to monitor EE’s roll-out and, in due course, other operators’ LTE services.''

The Nexus 4 looks pretty good to me, although I don't know if I'd do much "reading" on it. It would go well with my Nexus 7 which I'm very happy with, and replace my old steam-driven, 2-year-old Android 2.1 starter phone.
Key features for me:

It's a personal preference really I prefer amoled screens myself they have the best blacks and the most vivid colours, I've seen other people arguing super lcd etc is better but those all look kind of washed out and dull to me now.

I cannot tell you the number of times I was able to fix my Thunderbolt by simply taking our the battery. And no miroSD is a nonstarter for a phone.
