[Nexus 4 General] Richieboy67:
I got mine last night at around 8:30pm so I am still getting used to it but so far I am truly amazed. I hope the op doesn't mind me posting my review. I know if I created a thread it would just be closed. N This happens every time I create a thread here.

After reading the complaints here I expected a rattling, yellowing, battery dying, bug filled phone that looks nice.

Instead I found a beautiful device. The rattling had been so exaggerated and granted that maybe others are really worse, mine only rattles of trying to make it do so. It is nothing.

In regards to the glass breaking on its own or scratching by just having it on your pocket, etc.. It seemed possible to me before b but now that I have the phone out seems very unlikely. I just am not buying that this glass is super weak. I am not saying a drop will not break it. I just really cannot understand how it could break on its own the person carrying it knowing.

The yellowing, when viewed at extreme angles is the only time I see any color change and it is not nearly add bad as I thought it was going to be. I have not deliberately tried to get it hot, I have not done benchmarks. So far the screen in the most accurate and crisp display I have ever seen. This is the first smart phone i have been able to actually see outside in the sun. I was out earlier. I just turned up the brightness to not even half and I had no trouble.

Speaking of brightness, I have heard complaints from people seeing spots of yellow with full brightness. I honestly cannot understand why anyone would use this phone at full brightness. It seems so bright and sharp to me even at half brightness.

I have not had it the phone but I think the battery life issues have also been exaggerated in a negative way. I was pleasantly surprised to find the battery doing very well. I had maybe 74% at 8:30 when I turned it on for the first time. I spoke on the phone for 45 minutes, had Google install all my apps, I used blue tooth, android beam, and had GPS on the entire time and when I finally went to bed at around 3am the battery was at 60%. This seemed amazing.

I hooked up the charger when I went to bed. FYI-i keep the box and let it sit in the cut out while charging or anytime I put it down. I put it there to charge and when I got up at 5:15 it was full. I have no complaints so far about the battery out anything else.

Ok, the one issue did have was after I had just set up my tmob account was the signal quality. I was in my basement office when I called simple mobile. I had a very bad connection. This was less than 10 minutes after I activated. I always had great reception with my i9001 s plus.. What is really strange though is that I just tested call quality a f minutes ago from my office and now the quality and reception is perfect. Maybe it took time for the signal to sync or something.. Not sure but it seems fine now..

Last thing is hspa speeds..I am currently using the tmob APN that was default on the device so who knows if this is even correct but upstairs I got download speed of around 10.5 mb and upload I can't remember but it was not so great. GPS and WiFi seem normal..

All in all I am really happy with this phone and it was really with ask the **** we went through.

I wanted to mention that I found some type of a you gel case at amazon yesterday for .47 .. Not a typo.. 47 cents!! The same case was selling for $12.. Just search amazon and set your max price filter low. This price may have been changed by now though. Oh yeah, shopping was less than $3.. I figured I would use this until i get the bumper. I may also put a transparent even protector on the back..

Thanks all.. So glad I finally got this!!! Did I say this phone is blistering fast??? Smooth... Also, the touch screen works perfectly for me. I can see some having an imaginary issue due to comparing a number on a test app that is not even meant for this type of a screen but numbers aside, the touch even would perfectly and I did not notice any issue at all.. Don't listen to all of the complaints.. Many are over exaggerated.. some are lies..

Holy **** Batman!! This is my longest post ever on XDA!!!!
