I would have gotten the Nexus 4 even if it was as much as the iPhone. You would have to pay me to carry an iPhone.

For my wife, we got the iphone. For me, the nexus. Money was NOT the overriding consideration. My wife has no interest in understanding how things work or tinkering. The iphone suits this mindset better, it seems.

For me, can you say widgets (love the live and updated display of information), data transfer (lack of a file manager in iOS), and the app "tasker" (no equivalent on iOS). I find the ability (or lack thererof) to transfer files to/from and iOS device and the rest of the world to be an abismal failure.

A secondary concern is the unwillingness of apple to join with the rest of the world using micro-usb as the de-facto standard connector.

In apples defense, they shouldn't HAVE to join everyone else. Their choice.

when i moved from Symbian/BB(work) to Android, I was looking at Android and iOS. My heart went to Android 80%, iPhone 20%,
I would have even picked iPhone if someone have convinced me. I picked Android and i am glad i did it. I would never turn back
so my point is even if money wasnt an option i would pick Nexus

Money is not an issue, it's N4 all the way for me. I like having my phone my way, not Steve Jobs way. Something about the cult mentality of everything apple has always turned me off.

This is an Android forum, what do you think? I don't think a whole lot of people cross shopped the Nexus 4 and the iPhone 5; more likely they were cross shopping between other Android devices.

I guess I qualify as a cross shopper lol. I nearly made the reflex move to the iP5, after owning all its previous incarnations in succession. But after reading about jellybean and seeing the N4 hardware I was sold. I don't see me going back as long as the Nexus line stays this good or keeps getting better, regardless of cost.

iPhone if I could get the jailbreak to work properly. That being said, I love my new Nexus 4.

**bigkevbosky** · 02-07-2013, 04:10 PM

iPhone. The n4 is pushing how big I want a phone to be.

me too, although in my defense, I picked the iphone 5 as my corporate phone only because the choice was that or blackberry. Android was not an option. I still shake my head at how small the iphone 5 sceen is much less the iphone 4s and before.
