***The Official LG Nexus 4 Thread***

[Participant]

ps3ud0 has a fair point. With iPhone/iPad, you buy an app and it works. The screen elements work properly and everything fits on the screen in an optimal way.
With Android, how many times have you downloaded an app to find that it doesn't render correctly or screen elements are too big/too small or it just plain doesn't work?

A good example would be the eBay app. Try it on an iPad then try it on a Nexus 7. The Android version is horrible to use and it really just a web-app. The iOS version is beautiful and works seamlessly.

An even better example would be Apple maps vs Google maps. It works both ways. iPhone fanboys have such a short memory .

All those added manufacturer "features" also come with an inherent delay with Android updates. So pick wisely

That's the only issue, at least with a Nexus device your getting quicker updates in expense of certain features, vice versa!

Dog eat dog world, so many users are moaning they've not got the JB update on their HOXs over at XDA saying how it'll be their last HTC phone and such a bit ridiculous!

I just cut around my dads microsim to cut mine down with a stanly knife. Fit my Lumia 710 fine lol.

All you sim cutters are confusing me. My network sent me a micro sim 24 hrs after I asked for one at no extra charge.

What does F5 do?

Whoever can press F5 the most from midnight to release of the N4, is first in the queue for deliveries.

I was being funny! Not even a sympathy "lol"?

I am hoping with no official launch event, few people will try and buy.

Just been told by a Google rep that it'll go live at 5PM in the UK on the Play Store.

The above may be a lie, but shhhh don't tell anyone, want to make sure I get one! You can too if you be quiet!

That is 23 hours and 45 minutes longer than it took me to cut my sim. And if I messed up, I could still have a new sim 24 hours later.

So tempted to pull the trigger, but think i'm gonna be sensible and hold off a week or so to see how initial user reviews go, and general consensus on the phone.

Buggery...didn't realise there was a hidden message!

 

[Janesy B]

Poor form Azza.

As for the ebay IOS app... I use the full size website on my phone with no problems, why do I need an app?

 

[Azza]

Such a spoil sport DefiantAsh!

 

[DefiantAsh]

oops!




So, 5pm it is!

Having some foresight to order one well in advance obviously doesn't come entirely naturally to everyone then!
