Nobody else complained about the battery, I believe it must have been a problem specific to the version of Android their device had. I would wait till the final release build is reviewed somewhere before we start worrying.

The Verge said it was really good and lasted a day with pretty heavy usage.

TheVerge only give it 6/10 for call quality.
As it's a phone that's my primary concern and that score is somewhat off putting.

The score is pretty misleading though, the -4 comes from its lack of LTE, the score is for call quality and data reception it is marked down because it lacks LTE it has nothing to do with the call quality. If you were to read the review it's pretty obvious they love the phone, going as far as saying if it had LTE it would be the reviewers primary phone.
What you should have been looking for was this quote:

Thanks for that, was flicking through on my phone and must have skimmed past that.
Had another read and it does indeed sound like a very good phone for a ridiculously low price! What's an iPhone 5, £700?
Makes me feel like a bit of an idiot for even considering spending that much on another iPhone.
Don't base anything on these reviews, take them with a huge pinch of salt.
They are using an old version of 4.2 (seems like a beta, maybe even alpha version.......)
As said many times before, software plays a vital part in everything. In theory the nexus 4 should be very good for everything aside from possibly audio and camera.
Wait for updated reviews or ones, which have the latest version of android and most importantly user reviews.

Im torn between this and the Lumia 920 :/
HELP ME!!
HELP ME!!
I wouldn't be torn by phone selection, they're both highly capable phones. Which ecosystem are you invested in? which apps/services do you regularly use? These are the questions you should be asking yourself.
Nexus 4 being cheaper helps too

Would it be greedy and/or stupid to buy both a Nexus 4 and a Lumia 920??
How many hands and how many ears do you have?
Glad to help.
A decent review from cnet http://reviews.cnet.co.uk/mobile-phones/google-nexus-4-review-50009629/
Hopefully returning my S3 in its 7-day return period proves to be a smart choice, as it was a cracking deal (300mins, Unltd landline & txts, 3GB data - 18mth @ £22) - but the delay in software updates on my two previous t-mobile android devices suggested a long wait for OS updates. So the N4 sounds ideal.

I hope the Nexus 4 display is upto iP5 standards - looks how clear and vibrant it is compared to the ipad mini. 100% sRGB Gamut, great polorizer and minimal Fresnel reflections (in-cell)
The Nexus is nearly half the price of the iPhone 5, you may be expecting a little too much from this thing.
sRGB Gamut: ~100% (Excellent)
Polorizer: Average (Highish reflections and reduced viewing angles but provides deep blacks at all angles, e.g. look at the screen when turned off)
Viewing angles: Good (see above)
Fresnel/diffused reflections (in-cell): Yes, LG branded G2 Touch Hybrid Display (zerogap and in-cell digitizer)
Contrast ration: ~1400 (Excellent)
Brightness: ~500 nits (Excellent, but also has v.aggressive auto brightness like the N7)
Conclusion: Amazing screen for the price. (Probably the same integrated LCD stack as the iPhone 5 with a cheaper glass cover)

Can someone confirm the Nexus 4 supports DC-HSDPA? I would like to known as Three are going to roll this out soon....
It is a bit stupid of google as these reviews may not be updated post the final release.
In any case I am pretty buoyed by the reviews. Nothing is disastrous, many things are excellent and the price is ridiculous.
