Why?

Does this phone seem better to u guys that have it rather than other phones such as the note 2, s3, HTC DNA besides the price?

I had the S3 and I like the nexus a lot more because of the smaller size.

Nexus is the main reason:
Pure Android, no bloatware, no "skins" (skins is a mislabel for touchwiz, etc)
Fastest upgrades to software versions
Much longer support to new software versions
Updates directly from Google, rather than reliant on carriers
Storage is a problem, just like on the DNA
No annoying physical buttons and/or carrier logos
Price (starting $200 below other phones of it's class)
No Contract Required

Personally I can't stand the Touchwiz, Sense, etc. and buying the hardware and flashing a stock rom tends to cause you to lose many of the selling features of the phones that build that functionality into their software, not into flashable apps. I honestly feel the hardware is better in the Nexus than both the DNA and the S3 (except removable SD card in the S3 and screen on the DNA), but the Note 2 is obviously the best of all 4 in terms of hardware. If you remove Samsung's software from the Note, it loses the majority of it's selling features, which to me puts it equal to the Nexus 4, but 2x the price. Best value by far then, becomes the Nexus 4.

The S3 is *bigger* than this phone? Yikes. With the bumper on this is about all the phone my slightly-larger-than-average male hands can deal with lol.

Price is the most important part. Not just the price of the phone, but the convenience and price of pre-paid. If the N4 was $300 on Att or VZW with a contract, then I would have never bought it. But then again, if my aunt had nuts, she'd be my uncle.

Other than the price, "Nexus" is the main reason.
I typically go through 3-4 phones per year but there's just something about "Nexus" that keeps bringing me back year after year.

Well this was my first android device and i didnt know of the full extent of the customizability. I hated the s3 look and the note 2. Well not hate but i like the nexus 4 more. I dont like the menu button that pulls things up either.
Well the thing that got me this was the price. If it wasnt so cheap, wouldve stuck with my ipod
