    Have you cracked your Nexus 4 yet?

    maybe you could chip all the broken glass off the back and inlay some nice solid wood veneer...then you could have a Nexus 4 woody..

    My Nexus 4 is charging very slow

    if it's this slow on a wired charging, maybe the wireless inductive charging might rock your house and you can admire it while it sits on it's pedistal!!!!

    Phones that give the Nexus 4 a run for the money in both price and performance?

    Attention!!!,...I've sort of found the Chinese equivalent to the N4 with a sturdy case and almost identical specs 'cept it runs MIUI JB 4.1 stock with root...The Xiaomi Mi-2 Xiaomi Mi-2 Dual Core 4.3 inch 1.5GHz with Android 4.1 The biggest caveat is that it's $130 more and like the N4 it's...

    Have you cracked your Nexus 4 yet?

    I have a little cheapo china phone that I've dropped many a time, without incident..you can't tell me they can't make a phone that you don't have to constantly worry about breaking every time you touch it or set it down from a warm surface like your hand to a cold one like a ceramic counter top...

    Point take, however I would venture to guess that there are a huge number of people visiting this forum that don't have the phone yet and are in the process of researching the device and contemplating their options wrt this phone...so I guess this thread might be directed more to them.. I'm in...

    the Huawei forum is dead...why post there...the N4 is something I'm interested in..maybe by posting here in a more popular forum people can see a device that is comparable to the N4 as a possible option....do you have a problem with that? I'm not saying you should buy the Huawei over the Nexus...

    why doesn't android have a t9 dialer?

    on ICS, don't know about jellybean, there's a widget for direct dial to a contact...you can put a number of these widgets in a folder on a home screen for one touch dialing...well actually two touches if grouped into a folder...one for a single widget on home screen..

    good point...I still want the N4 very badly...but ima wait awhile till there are better cases and cheap screen protectors...plus they're having to produce them at such a high rate right now that there is the potential for quality control issues...ima wait till the smoke clears a little before...

    That's not very nice now is it? I'm not here to discredit the N4, just throw out some potential debating point...you seem to have a nasty side to you...life is to short buddy...

    The N4 doesn't benchmark very well on some things...like SunSpider JavaScript Benchmark SunSpider JavaScript Benchmark a very high 1800 (confirmation appriciated)...my single core 1.4GHz snapdragon scorpion Huawei Merc does 2100...Apple 5 is 900.. The Huawei Glory II would prolly smoke the N4...

    I really like the N4 but all that glass is holding me back....to bad they don't have a HD version...ie Heavy Duty...I really don't want to fret every time I pick it up over fear of a drop, slip, or mishap... IMO, it's crazy to charge $600 to $700 for a no contract unlocked phone and competition...

    Have you cracked your Nexus 4 yet?

    yes, and it's slippery too...imo just an accident waiting to happen...and from the sounds of things, it won't take much of an accident to make you cry with dismay over your beloved phone....

    I own a Huawei...the Mercury M886 on Cricket Wireless...so I've already touched one....got it for $150 and it's a pretty nice little 3g phone...excellent bang for the buck... You're not a Xenophobe are you? ie why wouldn't you touch one? Most phones are made in China anyway...

    Phones that give the Nexus 4 a run for the money in both price and performance?

    Don't get me wrong, I really want the Nexus 4 however the two biggies that are holding me back are, 1) The extreme fragileness of the Nexus...seems very easy to crack the glass with just a small drop... 2) Lack of sd card My limited research has lead me to one phone that is compatible both...
