I bet some of you have already sold your phones in anticipation of the N4. I sold my HTC one X as soon as the price was confirmed!!! Not to sound regretful, but the one X was one sexy device!!!
So, what do you use as your back up phone to fill the void between selling yur phone and getting your spanking-new-car-smell phone?
I use my Nokia 110

Yes, yes I know. It's the dumbest phone out there, but for $30, it was worth it. Plus the battery life is astonishing!!! I easily push one week with dual sim in. Beat that RAZR MAXX :)

well, my backup phone is my main phone right now. iphone 4s. I will probably keep it around for listening in my car, with the usb plug in, instead of screwing around with bluetooth or aux in. It sounds sooo much better that way.

Using 2 phones now. Gnex and Nexus one. When I get the n4, the n1 takes the back seat

The OG Nexus huh!! Bad ass like that

It's all I got left mostly....I have a Sprint NS laying around but that does me no good on T-Mo. Recently sold an LG Thrill, SGS3, LG marquee and my GN. So I can't wait for this sucker to finally go up for sale.

But the N1 is still one of the best phones ever made. I might have to buy a One V someday as a backup phone.

The HTC 8X is looking pretty sexy....and almost all the reviews am reading highly rate the phone. So I am goin to wait a few months and then get it as my back up phone.
The Pantech Flexx is also looking really nice for a back up phone B)

I still have a Nokia 8210 as backup here, but it wasn't used for over 10 years so I wonder if it even still works....
But it had amazing features, according to wikipedia: "The phone's memory can store up to 250 names. Alternatively, a SIM card can be used to store names (although memory capacity is specific to each SIM card). The calendar can store up to 50 notes."
Ohhh the old days :)

Meh, windows phone. Haven't tried it but eventually when I do I don't think it'll be with a $500+ phone. I don't know why I said One V, even though I rly like that phone if I were to ever use VM.

What I rly meant to say was the One S. :D

Am sick and tired of sense. Otherwise the one S design is something sweet. I had a WP phone a while back and I kinda liked its fluidity, hated it for its simplicity

I haven't rly had much hands on with Sense since the Evo 4G. I wasn't rly a fan of it then but I wasn't a fan of TW either and that is tolerable now.(Assuming you use a 3rd party launcher) HTC sure builds some great feeling phones though.

HTC biuld quality is undisputed. Sense was beautiful in the pre-ICS error when Android was not much a looker. Touch WIz just gives me a headache everytime I use it!!! The color scheme is just obnoxious. Does Samsung have graphic designers, or was their input valueless?
