Good points brought up. I'm not crazy about Chrome as it stands today, either. Not going to leave Android over it, though.

Can't you just install a different browser and a different messaging app to accomplish what you want? I think ChompSMS supports group messaging if i'm not mistaken.
Oh I should have kept reading, you said you didn't like the 3rd party apps. OK then.
I prefer the stock texting app in my opinion. I hate the free texting apps layouts, thats just me though. I also have no need as i have free texting.Hmm, some of the 3rd party Apps are much better than the stock ones so i dont get that. Handecnt is much better than the stock message app imo, but, to each their own.

Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts. I am on the edge after purchasing the Galaxy Note II, for two reasons: (1) your number 2 in that there is no Reply-All option or auto setting for Group MMS messages. I find it hard to believe that they would leave this out. and (2) the fact that the power on/off button is positioned exactly om the opposite side of the case from the volume buttons. Doesn't anyone in the device design or testing worlds operate either set of functions by placing fingers on opposing sides of the device? Wow! What a huge design flaw. Still these are not enough to force me to search on another device, I still like it more than my iPhone, but am hoping for better in the future.

You express some good points that are very valid concerns. I will be moving from an iOS platform back to the Android platform with the release of the N4. There are many points where my iPhone and iOS 6 is superior in areas to the Android OS nd Jellybean but likewise there are some great components of Jellybean 4.1.1 or the newer 4.2 release that beat out iOS 6.
I did a comparitive breakdown on whay I like and use in my N7 on Jellybean and what I like and use on iOS 6 and in this round I have decided there are more positive reasons to switch to the N4 at this point than there are positive reasons to stay with my current iPhone. But with the competitive nature of the smartphone industry and new OS clients being released and developed that could always change.
The biggest piece I will regret loosing is the Find My iPhone App, my wife will keep her iPhone and we use this app since she works on the road and it is a nice security app to always have her location tracked. Hopefully with some research we can find a cross platform app that will allow us to still do this with the internal GPS in the devices.
Great post, I have wanted to be able to combine the best features of several devices for a long time to come up with the ultimate phone for me.

Agree with this X 1000000000!!! I, however, decided not to let me friends' phones dictate what phone I have, so I'll live with it and hope they add it, as it is a software capability. I completely understand it though! I had to think it over for several days, before I decided "No, I'm going to get the phone I want."

I dont see the problem with that. Thats how it is on my GS3 as well. It isnt an issue. Why is that an issue for you? Im not patronizing or anything, im just curious. Ive seen some others complaining about the power button being on top of some other devices...like i think the HTC 8X put it there, or maybe it was the Lumia 920. Just dont see the issue with that either. Where the power button is is a non issue imo. I turn mine off every night and charge it but most never turn it off so i dont get the complaining.

its enabled by default i believe.Is the group MMS feature option enabled by default or does a Nexus 4 user have to dig into the stock messaging app's settings to enable it?
