Kaabii why are you such a debbie downer?
Fuck yes, carrier sent my SGS2. Now I don't have to worry about that not arriving in time.
[QUOTE=Van-man;38845851]Kaabii why are you such a debbie downer?[/QUOTE] Because my long term boyfriend just broke up with me. Sorry, I don't believe in Christmas miracles.

[QUOTE=Ezhik;38845995]I'm probably gonna keep the stock ROM when I get it, although I'll root it.[/QUOTE] Hopefully you don't have to downgrade to a non-existent gingerbread rom to root :v:
wat
[QUOTE=Ezhik;38846170]wat[/QUOTE] It's a joke with rooting ICS on some devices, in order to root (or at least one of the methods) you had to downgrade to GB in order to push a root exploit in order to get root, then flash ICS in top of it to keep root and get ICS.
That was a terrible joke.
[QUOTE=B!N4RY;38846318]That was a terrible joke.[/QUOTE] I'm sorry, it was a long day.
Is the Nexus 4s battery life one of it's downfalls? I'm really torn between it and an iPhone due to it's price, features, and such. Sucks that it's sold out currently though.

Sucks that it's sold out currently though.[/QUOTE] Pick the OS you currently like/use and go with it. The Nexus 4 is a device for people who love Android and don't mind sacrificing some things (e.g. LTE) for a really good experience. That's it.
From a standpoint of the phone hardware itself the iPhone 5 is pretty much objectively better. The real question is the software, what you want to do with your device. If you want to tweak or run emulators or whatever, you will NOT be happy with an iPhone or Windows Phone.
Well I do like android but I've watched a lot of reviews and have seen the downfalls of each device. I figured since I have a Nexus 7 I could get an iPhone and have the best of both worlds. I use emulators on my tablet and I'd use my iPhone for contacting people. I heard Apples messaging apps work well especially since most of my friends have iPhones. That and the camera is better which is perfect for me since I don't have a nice camera and would rather just have a nice camera built into my phone. That being said, I don't think I like how the iOS is laid out. Android feels so much more open. However I can only compare it to my brothers iPod touch. I might find a way to deal with it. Little rant over... Nexus 4 or Galaxy S3? Or something else? I've been weighing the pros and cons (Price, features, software, availability) and I'm left overwhelmed with the massive Android market. Ultimately it will be a bloody battle for my needs between iOS or Android.
i doubt the nexus 4 battery life could be worse than my I9000
[QUOTE=Oicani Gonzales;38847413]nexus 4 for sure you want aosp [editline]16th December 2012[/editline] and you can feel ios by your brothers ipod, yeah. ios barely changes, besides performance and things not running in older versions[/QUOTE] he also mentioned he wants a nice camera :v: i think he needs something like a galaxy s3 it's not locked down like an iphone, but it's actually user friendly
Nexus 4 has about 4-5 hours of screen on time out of the box, up to 10 hours with some moderate tweaking. About 2-3 days of idle. Plenty to get through the day and then some for most people. Also, the Nexus 4 isn't user friendly?
How many of you are playing games with 360 pad? I'm playing Modern Combat 4 with my 360 pad.

The minute someone asks for evidence he just forgets he was even debating and never responds.

[QUOTE=LordCrypto;38848437]gee i dunno he's getting it from the nexus 4 he owns???[/QUOTE] I doubt it, because in that very thread he states he gets 4.
[url]http://www.reddit.com/r/htc/comments/14tg38/htc_support_will_be_watching/[/url] Apparently it's now cool to hate HTC. When I say that the One X doesn't actually have a lot of problems, I get jumped on by the downvote brigade, and that the One X+ was a necessary step, more people jump on me. I just don't fucking get it. It was obvious that the One X was not going to win against the GS3 at all in the holidays, and that the Butterfly was going to come too late for the holidays. [editline]16th December 2012[/editline] Oh, and shit like the wifi antenna connector was fixed in late production models straight from the factory, and early models were fixed at repair depots.
[QUOTE=WingedAssailant;38848394]its basically the same as ICS and JB[/QUOTE] Android has come a long way, the new settings menu makes a lot more sense and quick settings are handy. At the same time there's also more obscure features that are nice to know, but not necessary for using the phone.
