[Nexus 4 General] BMP7777:
Backstory:

I got into the smartphone experience through inexpensive means; my first was the Samsung Solstice. OMG, that was the DUMBEST smartphone I ever used, in large part to the Windows 6 that came on it. UGH. This effectively killed Samsung for me for quite a while. My next phone was an iPhone 3G, which was nice enough until I quickly realized

A) there just isn't nearly as many customization options as an Android device

and

B) Apple REALLY doesn't like you to do anything with the device that they haven't designed into it.

SOooooooo, after a few months, I was able to get my hands on an HD2. THIS was what I was talking about, although not initially. Windows 6.5 was undoubtedly the silliest OS to offer with this device, to the point where people were slamming the CEO of HTC for agreeing to implement this device in this way. After going around with SDcard android boots, we had a genuine Android device that kicked ass! Still does, for some. I was hooked, on Android and HTC. From there, I owned a LG G2x for about a week(terrible - went through 3 of them and they were all garbage), then I had a Sensation 4G(nice) and Rezound(nicer, but with a cheap looking back). Both were solid devices that worked well. Then, I got the chance to get a Samsung G S II Skyrocket. Didn't want it at first, but was VERY happy that I took it. One of the best phones I ever owned, with the release of the III not even bothering me much(the specs are not very different).

Then, the N4 was released. I was put off at first, because of the aforementioned issues with my last LG phone, and general distaste of their products in general. But, Google wouldn't have their flagship line made poorly, would they? So, I ponied up the dough and got one about a week and a half ago. All I have to say is.....DAMN. This thing LOOKS like it could kick your phones ass! It's sharp looking, has every feature you would expect from a high-end smartphone, and is straight from Google. NOT BAD!! I have enjoyed trying to push its limits; seeing HOW much machine this thing really is. Not disappointed. Rooted and ROMed it quickly and easily, unlike some HTC models(ever S-OFF a Rezound? Gimmie a break). Great display, better than average battery life, very fast use, etc. I haven't found anything wrong with it. EXCEPT.....I have a bit of what I can only describe as decreased touch screen sensitivity at the base of the device, for example the space bar or the 'type message' space right above the notification bar. But, it is slight and not much of a hassle. I tried a fix from the N4 forum, but when I lost complete touch for upwards of a minute(the dev warned that this was common and nothing to be worried about), I got freaked out and put it back. It just isn't that big of a deal. Other than that, it is exactly what they say it is: one of the best that can be bought, at any price. There are only a few quad-core processor phones on the market, at least right now, and as far as I'm concerned, its the best there is.:cool:

I have put it to the test against the GS III and would still prefer this one. Haven't tried the DNA, but did test against the DROID RZR and its Nexus all day long baby! One X? Forget it. IPhone 5? You're kidding right? They can't even widen the screen correctly. Made it longer without being wider. Apple is already preparing for redundancy with new features like a Lightning port. Meizus new MX2 looks and sounds sweet, but they aren't exactly going to be selling them at Best Buy, and although I am a tech-junkie of the first degree, I won't be trying to get one of these any time in the near future. So, Nexus is IT.
