I've had a nexus 4 for a couple months now. I really like it. The battery lasts me about a day if I play games during classes (4-5 hours of game play, but on lowest brightness). For light use (email, a few games here and there, texting, facebook) would probably leave me with 70-80% by the end of the day. I'm a big fan of this phone, but then again the only phone I have to compare to it is a blackberry -_-
Oh, and I haven't rooted it yet...

im comin over from an iPhone 3G. Hoping to get this soon
are there any major issues with the device, like major freezes or unexplained shut downs.
I had an HTC V one (running ICS) for a while, and damn every now and then it would randomly go off... Until it never woke up again

Very similar to the Galaxy S3, personally I prefer having a physical home button like the galaxy s3 offers so I prefer that but they both are amazing phones.

The cheapest high-quality super-powered phone money can buy right now.
Its screen is amazing, it's a really great device.

Dont mean to steal the question but Wind Mobile seems to be offering the nexus 4. Are they any good compared to Rogers, bell, virgin, koodo, etc?

Lol.
Buy online from google: $359 for an unlocked phone and use on any carrier.
Wind: $549 for a locked phone
Buying from wind is not a wise option at this point.

Ah. Thanks for the info qwerty91. Still, $359 is quite a lot of money for a phone, IMO.

i believe Fido is comin up with some plans as well for the Nexus 4
as for Wind, it is pretty good in general, fair prcing with good features, the only issue is coverage isnt always the best.

I haven't had any problems with my phone in the 2 months I've been using it. I guess the only annoyance I have with it is that with a zagg screen protector and without a case, the phone sits on the table super flat and the volume gets muted quite a bit. If I'm listening to music on my computer I may not hear the notification. I try to keep my phone propped up a bit and it also helps with seeing the screen at a better angle.

Damn. I respect your opinion, but the Nexus 4 is so cheap in comparison to buying the GSIII when it first came out and so on. |
