Why I am getting the new Nexus 4 is a little complcated and many will think some of the reasons make little sense and that is ok since they are my reasons.
I have long wanted a good, for lack of a better name, PDA. Really I have wanted something I could keep track of things but small enough to carry around always. I wanted it to have the ability to hand write memos and ruff sketches of ideas like a small spiral note pad. I want constant access to a calculator, dictionary, thesarus, quick camera, a good screen, document reader and simple web search ability. I have been looking for this for close to 20 years and have never found one that even came close. I got a 7" HTC Flyer tablet and carried it around for a while now but for reading my ePub books it was a little for my aging eyes so I switch to my GNote10 but it is a little to big to carry every where all the time. I knew there were phones out there that had the ability to be what I wanted but they are too expensive.
Then along comes the Nexus 4 unlocked, not tied to any carrier, great specs, priced less than some PDA's, provides all the above, has wifi, bluetooth and is a phone also.
