Nexus 4 looks real good. And the unsubsidized price is incredible!

Seriously, $299 for an unlocked phone. That's pretty awesome.

I've been pretty happy with my phone since I've switched to cyanogenmod or else I would be itching to switch phones again.

I was running MIUI on my One S (which was pretty fast), but just flashed BlackBean a couple of days ago. My phone has never been faster, and without any drop in battery life.

I fucking love the Android dev community.

i don't think this matters, since Apple users will buy the Mini based on form factor alone.. but here's a pixel comparison between the ipad Mini and ipad 4.

It's nice to see Apple has such a good relationship with Google.

Google may be the masters of search but they certainly aren't the masters of supply chain management. Today's Nexus launch was pretty damn fubar'd.

Google seems to stumble on just about anything not related to search or ads.

Yea, I'm thinking of getting the Nexus 4 (once its back in stock) and using it with Straight Talk wireless. For now, I'm using prepaid PagePlus and Clear wireless for unlimited 4G data for about $50/month. I carry a little Clear Spot Voyager hotspot device and so far its been decent. I do dislike having to carry multiple devices with me at all times, though. I've been using this setup with my Nexus 7 tablet for the past few months and its decent.
