I Will NEVER Be Happy With Any Non-Nexus Phone

[MERCDROID]

I too have tried to go non-Nexus but just can't...
Every year since the Nexus One I've also bought a non-Nexus, but the allure of stock Android keeps bringing me back!

This year I'll be getting the S4 to replace my S3 but will also be getting the N5. I'll probably try to go a few months with the S4 as my primary, but not sure if I can do it. I try each year & each year I go back to the my Nexus.

*sigh*

Paying full price for the new Nexus from Google directly is much cheaper than paying full price from a carrier...not sure why, but that's what it seems. According to Best Buy mobile, the unactivated price for the new Nexus 4 is $600.00. They sell it directly from Google for $349.00.

Yes, Google eats the difference in the play store.

Right, but in order for those LTE-only phones to be useful across the US, LTE must be everywhere, otherwise when you are traveling, you would not be able to make a voice call if you were in an area that didn't yet have LTE, correct?

If i remember right, their plan is to have the entire coverage footprint covered by LTE by the end of the year, so those areas should be pretty minimal. I'd venture a guess that the VZW phones without CDMA will have global GSM/UMTS radios for global roaming.
