I have a Nexus 4, you have questions. Fire away.

Any NEW live wallpapers to look forward to?

Hey Phil,
The S4 Pro SoC that's used in the Nexus4 is supposed to have an integrated LTE radio on-chip correct?
I'm confused as to why Rubin is saying things like "two radios in a device raises the cost and diminishes battery life" to explain why they're not supporting LTE.
Doesn't the Nexus4 actually have two radios in it?

Have any insight?

This is confusing me too. I assumed battery life and space would not be issues due to the integration. In fact I thought this was a huge selling point for the S4 Pro, but now I'm not hearing so much about it when it is actually in phones.

Curved glass?

Actually, the reviewer's guide mentions "gently-curved glass edges allow your finger to slide smoothly on and off 4.7 inch screen..."

/me looks at the hi-res press pics for a hint of that....

When does the review embargo for this device go down?

Yeah, I know what it's saying. Basically like the edges on the GS3, only better. It's nice. But "curved glass" has become such a buzzword.

Is Chrome the default browser (like on the Nexus 7) or still the android Browser (like on the Galaxy Nexus)?

Is there any way to check if the N4 has the bluetooth apt-x capability for audio? also, does it have bluetooth 4?

 

[snoopgoat]

Phil, is there a "do not disturb" mode in 4.2?

 

[jra8927]

My only question is, how many beers will I have to buy you and Jerry, so that when you are done reviewing it, you then send it to me =) .....but seriously lol please =)

One thing that bothers me and I can't find an answer for it - Is there a FM radio on the N4? Or is it missing, as in my GNex?

No app, so far as I can see.

If there's a chip in the Optimus G it may be there in the Nexus 4, but like the Galaxy Nexus it may not even be connected.

Google won't be doing FM Radio until there's a decent standard for it in AOSP, apparently Sony have been trying to push for it, but they've not been successful sofar.

Does it dance with the devil in the pale moon light?

I always ask that of all my prey.

A few questions:
* can you still set up a wifi hotspot? (Galaxy Nexus seemed to allow for this regardless of carrier plan)?
* how well/quickly does the GPS lock in?
* did the wireless charging unit come with it? or is that extra? how long does it take to charge?
* how well does the "swype-like keyboard" work? how well does predictions work compared to Swiftkey?
* how well does the new panorama camera feature work?

The screen is slightly bigger then the one in the gnex? I think the screen in the gnex is 4.65 inches

The back of the phone seems to be flat and made of glass. The speaker seems to be flush with the glass. How can you hear it ring if you set it on its back on say, a wooden table? I'm sure a way for it to produce sound but it doesn't seem obvious upon seeing it.

I hope Phil's just ignoring questions that are asked through triple or quadruple posts. And your first two questions just aren't answerable in less than a day of use.

I guess but then again your not Phi j/k. Well with Thunderbolt off the bat when came out he guessed the kick stand would star flaking and he was right. I don't see with Phil's experience he couldn't see a potential problem.
