    What would you recommend for an iPhone user switching to Android?

    Hardware Aside , I'd recommend a Nexus device or a Moto X. My reason for this is an iphone user will feel more at home with the stock android experience than a phone with Touchwiz or sense. I felt lost on a Galaxy S4, but right at home on the Nexus and Moto X. Posted via Android Central App

    Which phone has the purest Android experience (besides Nexus)?

    Android Central App: Open beta testing

    Great looking app. My first recommendation is to smooth out the transition when going into a news article from the main news listing. It fades....then....BAM! Page. When you back out it's quite a smooth fade out/in. Minor I know, but just doesn't feel quite right.

I went through this and they are not solid on the 21 days. The Nexus 4 was still hard to get at the time and I had to wait a few...

    Canadian Nexus 4 Ordered On December 3rd - Order Status and Tracking

    Exercise caution trying to use LTE with the Nexus 4. From one I understand, a 'gotcha' is that it'll work with LTE but will not fall back to HSPA+ (or 3G). So basically, you can use LTE and nothing else. Unless you're in an area that has solid LTE all the time, you may find you have no service...
