Does the touchstone use Qi? iv been trying to find this and can't. theres also a couple people in this thread that said the touchstone wouldnt work with the nexus 4. Does any one know for sure if it will or not?

Just did a quick search on the net and I was wrong : Palm Touchstone's charging orb ins't Qi compatible. My bad. (Source : TI working on an inductive charger for smartphones tablets. Um, Touchstone? | webOS Nation)

The Nokia wireless charging stand also has a built in NFC tag so you could program your N4 to launch the clock or something when you set it.

I hope the Nexus inductive charger has a NFC tag too

I think you'll find that you're in the minority, the proliferation of posts on various Android forums relating to getting both the Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus connected to PCs is proof of this.

I have no problem what so ever doing that and i format my PC often and it works on both my computers.

Does Android 4.2 with Chrome as the default browser mean that we won't be able to get Flash working on Nexus 4? Or, can we still download the old browser and hack in Flash?

Phil already answered that it comes with chrome as default. dig through this topic.

In the video posted by the Verge showing off Google Now, it looked like there was a card that was tracking miles running and bicycling.

Are there some features in Google Now on 4.2 that still aren't available on 4.1? I definitely couldn't find an option that looked remotely similar to what I saw in that video, even after the update.

Also, how does swipe-typing compare to Swype?

Also, you're awesome for doing this.

Its a feature of latest version of google now. ie, search.

today you would have got that card if you are on the latest version of google now.

Not sure if anyone asked this yet but does it come with an unlocked bootloader?

All Phones/tablet comes with Locked bootloader even Nexus But nexus always comes with UNLOCKABLE bootloader.
so there is no question if it can be unlocked.

Does the camera have burst mode, HDR mode and Anti-Shake mode?
Is the camera quality as good as the GS3?
Is the screen as good as the HTC One X?

Homophobic replies aren't needed. Take your bigotry somewhere else.

wow....what happened to relaxing and having fun. It means "happy" too you know. Come down off the high horse man

Can I have it?

OK guess not.
the one thing I would love to find out is how durable these phones are especially with the glass back and front, but I guess we'll have to wait for one of those drop tests usually featured elsewhere.

Does the back look that twinkly-g@y in person?

So the intention here was not mean-spirited. However, in a public forum like this it is better to stay away from potentially singling out any particular group. If anyone still has an issue and would like to discuss this further, please PM me. Otherwise, let's move on.

yea i saw that article but was having a hard time find if the touchstone charger used Qi. Blackeco linked to an article that answer my question. It does not so the nexus 4 will not work with the touchstone but should work with all the new wireless chargers that do us the Qi standard.

Does the N4's speech-to-text censor politically incorrect jargon as well as the normal "offensive" words?

There's a "block offensive words" setting in Jelly Bean, so it can if you want it to.

I'm interested in knowing how nice the screen looks with 320 PPI and how bright it is. One thing that I notice about the IOS devices is they do not nessasarily look so much better but, the brightness of the screens are so much more. Either way I'm still getting this phone.

Is there an NDA preventing you from releasing a review yet? You know, we'll stop asking questions if that's the case.

 

[Phil Nickinson]

Had this crazy idea that maybe the Nexus 4 (and Nexus 10) deserved more than a 36-hour test, ya know? This ain't [insert every other Android phone here].

I never got an answer to my question about your manicure.

Engadget and ABC posted reviews now, the "blackout" period must be lifted. Funny how this thread came back to life around the same time too. Wink wink nudge nudge Phil
