[Nexus 4 General] blendobass:
Lets be honest.

This is a very cheap phone made with mostly urban indoor geeks in mind.

Yes it is poorly designed for daily use by people that might say , want to bring a phone skiing, backpacking, hiking, boating, hunting, or even have a hot blonde jump on their lap at the bar.

I agree, you bought the cheapest super phone ever invented, it is fragile like a china doll, you now have a giant phone that on it's own can barley fit into your pocket for day to day activity, and now you have to wear a big pastic belt case a massive bumper and be even more of a geek.

I have a feeling with the new blackberry phones and OS10, that even though people that spend all day on their phone checking out their cool settings, that many people are going to opt for a better build phone.

I loved my HTC desire because i could throw it around my car, dropped it all sorts of times, you could pull it out i the rain and in general use it as a

daily communications device. Nothing will ever beat my Blackberry 9700, i now see that I have purchased a phone that is supposed to break when you drop it so you can buy 1-2 a year. Oh well. that is live.

I am not going to be caught dead with a giant rubber case on my phone, I will wait until it breaks, splash pictures all over the web, and move onto a better device.

I wish I wouldn't have sent my S2x back it was a far better phone in almost every way for day to day living

- you could have two batteries for emergency GPS while outdoors

- it is a tough phone that won't break easily (ven the the back is cheap plastic, it beats this and I can buy cheap plasitic back for $2)

- you could use a removable SD card to add more storage for very long trips where you need your music library ( i am a dj)

- the resolution is better on it as the icons are bigger, that is a good thing as my GF said lol.

- ITs about half the price

- it never lags with anything

oh well we are all suckers for this cheaply build south korean garbage, might as well buy yourself a Kia too ! LOL

No, I think people assume that when they buy something that is "state of the art" or, so they think that i will be made with everyday use in mind.

Like if I go buy a "glass" handled hammer in 2013, I think that maybe the handle will last longer than a wood one, mostly it does, that or it is dirt cheap so I don't complain that i have a cheap hammer.

Any normal person will use a cell phone all over the place and drop in a couple of times a month, off the couch, off the desk, kids will drop it, it will fall out of your pocket once in a while when you are looking for your boarding pass in a hurry to catch a plane, it will also be in backpacks with heavy books, it will get slighly wet from time to time.

So, ya, we got crappy phones very cheap for new, this is the 1st time i have been a sucker for a "new" phone, and I know now why it is "cheap".

Its not a phone for the real world, it is made for indoors people that don't mind caring around a big honken plastic case over their glass phone.

It is almost comical when I see people with these, it makes your phone about as portable as a laptop, baby it in a case, keep it at home when you go to the beach ect...

One of the benifits of a smartphone for me was always having it with me, battery ok for day, and being able to whip it out to get a once in a lifetime vid or pic, or texting when my car broke down.

I will just switch my sim card out to my blackberry when i need a real phone, that is until the little sim card tray mec breaks as it must be hell a cheap too, then i will ebay.

NEXUS 4 - CRACKED SCREEN AND BROKEN SIM CARD TRY - take the $90 and a keg of beer for me and my buddies and say fack it, i just need something i can write an email on and check some crap on the web, otherwise i have a macbook pro.
