The camera is also way better... yes auto focus something the 9900 should have had. I wish I had a physical button but I guess that's a hardware issue.
I can't say about other android experiences but the pure vanilla experience in the nexus 4 is amazing. Most tech reviews agree it is the smoothest yet.
I do have my bold still and feel that the keyboard is cramped and the screen too small. Notifications still come in nicely and you can configure the led to different colors using third party apps. Gmail is pushed although sometimes I see a min or two lag. My yahoo is set at 5 min so no biggie. You can also install other email apps that will get you push ie the official yahoo app. So I feel like I haven't lost anything in the email department. I have 4 accounts on my phone.
I used bbm a lot but then most of my friends switched to other platforms. There are apps like what's app that will connect cross platform.
I never see any lag! No more hour glassing like on my 9900. There are a bugs here and there but I rarely have to do a reboot. One bug that annoyed me was the camera would not take pics. Had to quit the app and relaunch to fix.
Well not to bore others on this thread but you can pm me if you have more specific questions.
