Have more smut.
I love the way the pattern changes
That's actually one of the best representations of the back I've ever seen.
All the other pics of it look like the 70's exploded or the back of an iPhone.
because of the flash
I noticed some people are deliberately taking pictures of it so that it's only one or the other.
Loving the 4.2 camera, keyboard is kind of meh, at least in terms of gesture typing, swype beats it, apart from in looks

Are you on Verizon in the United states? If you're not then you're not even getting Faux-G, you're on 21Mbps HSPA+. If you are on Verizon in the states, you're probably not getting the Nexus 4 at all.[/QUOTE]
Looks like I'll have to stick with my Gnex then, I'm on Verizon and can't switch carriers.

Yah it's a pretty safe bet that Verizon won't be getting any future Nexus devices until they change their ways regarding customization.
[QUOTE=sdwise;38278609]One thing that interests me is whether or not Android phones will continue to be pushed by carriers at these lower prices.
If Google continues to release phones at <$400, will the downward price pressure take away the extra profit carriers see from Android devices over iPhones?[/QUOTE]
I know you were looking at the Transformer Infinity, TigerDirect recently had this deal: [url]http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-Details.asp?EdpNo=3473353&sku=A50-101302%20D&SRCCODE=WEM3311TT&cm_mmc=email-_-Main-_-WEM3311-_-tigeremail3311&utm_source=EML&utm_medium=main&utm_campaign=WEM3311&cm_lm=[/url]
I decided to go ahead and pick it up, since I could get it for cheaper than anywhere else I've seen. Should arrive between tomorrow and next week.
From my understanding there is an unlocked bootloader for ICS, but not for jellybean yet. there are several remote desktop services for it as well, if you ever need anything like that, its there.

And it even looks like they're going fully retarded with that
So after my Xoom died a few months ago, I decided to get into contact with Motorola. Wrote up a 5 paragraph email stating as to what went wrong with the Xoom and explained it shouldn't have occured after only a year of use regardless of the ROM on it. Got a few calls, now I have a new Xoom being overnighted to me. This "new" Motorola is starting to slowly look better and better in my eyes.
Man Google needs to make/release a Google Music API so my poweramp can use it and I can ditch that very crappy app.

I liked the argument somebody made about there not being a large enough market for 32/64GB devices. Apple mostly sells 16GB iPhones and 16GB iPads. That doesn't mean they're going to stop offering the higher capacity ones just because they don't sell as well. Just don't produce as many of them.

This, I take tons of photos and videos with my phone and play a bunch of games (not as much as before) and 16GB is really limiting. After a day of shooting photos and videos, I'd probably be out of space and needing to dump everything onto my computer.
Hell if Google releases even a 64GB model, I'll buy it faster that I'd buy the 32GB model. Only if it would actually happen.
[QUOTE=smileykiller447;38281559]I have that one[/QUOTE]
I have the 64GB UHS-I version (5x faster than Class 10)

Damn it, stupid Google Drive app how do I download a file? That option is no where to be found...
Same thing with Gmail, where did you just download an attachment to? What a mess.
[QUOTE=Kaabii;38278397]Can you cite that? From what I understand it's only available in Moscow Russia on the Yota 4G network.[/QUOTE]

we have 4g
Got a new phone about a month ago.
Coolpad 4G from MetroPCS. Rough times. Doubt I can root it.

UHS-1 is the same write speed as class 10 though.
My GhostArmor screen protector kept having issues every 2 weeks. God damnit, I hate these guys, it's like they're deisgned to fail after a certain number of weeks.
2 weeks after application: scratch appears
4 weeks after application: GIANT FUCKING HAIR GETS IN THE SCREEN
6 weeks later: tiny hole in the screen
What screen protector brand should I get for my EVO 4G LTE? I know for a fact that the ones that Sprint makes are a giant pile of rough shit, and Zagg apparently has issues with the phone's design.

Everyone at XDA-Devs recommended this. Is there an honest review I can read about it before I buy?
[QUOTE=ManningQB18;38276741]They could use Google Music too, but the main problem is that many people don't have service where they want to listen to music. I know I have that problem and I bought an SD card specifically so I could store my music. You either have to take your music with you, or have it on the cloud, and taking it with you isn't an option for the Nexus phones unless you don't have a lot of music or get USB storage for it.[/QUOTE]
Why do people always recommend streaming music on this thread. [B]No[/B]. Streaming is not an option for many people. Here in Australia, I have a monthly data limit of 180MB and the network coverage is shonky. In addition to that, maintaining a radio stream uses a fuck tonne more power than accessing the NAND or SD and is also considerably slower.
I am very satisified that I can plug my phone into my computer like a USB and copy across all my music onto the ext SD and not have to worry about data limits, network coverage, power usage, streaming service issues, third party apps such as Spotify, unacceptable audio quality, download times/ping and instead I can just to listen to my music from my fucking phone.
Cloud services are great for some people, but for me, I sure as hell am not going to stream my music any time soon.

If you are looking for earphones get [url=http://www.whathifi.com/review/soundmagic-e10]SoundMagic E10's[/url]. They are possibly the best quality earphones you can get for $40, check any review website. With a good equaliser setting and these earphones, listening to Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon is [U]incredible[/U]
So what about the 4.2 camera? Do you need to be rooted to install it or what
