You've got to be kidding me...

Some people have only used skinned versions of Android where features like the screenshot have been removed or changed.

Would it fair better against 100 duck sized horses or one horse sized duck?

This is what Nexus 4 will be using: Qi (inductive power standard) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sweet! I have like 5 touchstone bases around the house for my old Pre. Better buy them while they are like $5...once the word is out, they will get real expensive fast!

One more question-will android Central be doing a drop test?
Well we need to know how durable it is!

I don't think Google has been too happy with carriers like Verizon and lack of timely updates i heard from a store associate they lowered the price to clear inventory and that he heard they won't be getting nexus devices any longer i wouldn't be surprised if this were true if you only knew about the regulations surrounding open access of LTE networks and how Verizon has positioned themselves to have more control of it then you would understand why Google doesn't want anything to do with LTE at the present time

There are probably 3 or 4 questions about the notification LED questions left unanswered. Just wanna know if it only display the white color that's displayed on Google's website?

i would hazard an educated guess that that "white" you saw was actually made up of red, green and blue leds, meaning it can actually be set up to flash whatever colour you like

In case you don't cover it in your review, how is the touch sensitivity with the ZeroGap that they're using?

BONUS QUESTION- What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?

I'm using a Blackberry Torch 9810 on Rogers in Canada. I've been thinking about switching to Android since the spring. Would you recommend this phone as my first Android? How much of an improvement will it be compared to my current phone?

Sorry to say this but it looks like the TouchStones aren't Nexus 4 compatible. I might still make a Nexus 7 TS case for my self since they're so cheap

When you go into the quick settings on the notification panel and press WiFi or Bluetooth, does it take you to the WiFi or Bluetooth page? Or does it change the setting on the fly? Essentially, Does it function like CM or Touchwiz, or is it just a shortcut to the setting?

I'm a Canadian interested in the nexus 4. Are their any alternatives to purchasing the device other than the play store? Any big chain retailers be selling this device on launch date? I'd rather see it and play with it before I buy but would also like to get it ASAP. And I can avoid shipping charges. It's extremely annoying typing on this forum on my cell. Can't zoom out to see the entire text box.

You've got to be kidding me...

My phone, a Virgin Mobile Optimus V came with Android 2.2.1 FroYo (unskinned) and the only way at all to take screenshots was rooting!
I eventually got CM7 which let me take screenshots via the power menu and was the only way at the time.
Eventually I moved onto CM9 and was not informed of any change and the ability to do this and continued with the power menu function.
So-freakin-rry for not getting the memo.

Is the loudspeaker loud?

My Galaxy S3 speaker is very quiet, especially when compared to my gf iPhone 5.

This. So much this. Is it louder than my current GNex? It's annoying me its so quiet.

And yes, I made an account solely to ask this.
