Google Nexus 4

[Oakley12]

Really thinking about this phone now!

Whats the battery usage like compared to tw iPhone 4?

 

[Tyler@Ultimate]

really depends on how much you use it. similar to the 4 I would say but better than the 5

mine turned up yesterday. absolutely great bit of kit. definitely too big though, digs in to my leg when i put it in my work trousers pocket

 

[Alex5]

Anyone else received theirs after ordering it the other day when it went back into stock? I'm excited for mine hope it comes before the 13th it says it's expected

Do you wear skin-tight work trousers?! Lol. My GS3 doesn't dig in at all and it's about the same size and I wear fitted trousers :S

Did it not say on the website that stock was "Expected delivery 1-2 weeks?". I'm sure that's what I read when I looked, in that case no one will have received them yet. I could be wrong though!

lol, no i dont. its a s**t shaped pocket on the side of my knee, and bending my knee makes it dig in

that 1-2 weeks thing is rubbish. mine turned up next day

It seems a decent phone but Google I/O is only 3 and a bit months away, I'm hanging on for a Nexus 4 replacement / upgraded version which will hopefully be announced.

There were alot of rumours of a new phone when they sold out and not back in stock but all claims were said to not be true..

 

[Tyler@Ultimate]

Highly unlikely, but maybe something to do with their Motorola ownership

 

[coolspot007007]

It would make sense for a slightly upgraded version to be out around June to dent any Samsung/HTC/Apple offerings coming in Q2/Q3. But I know new Nexus devices are usually on a 12 month timeframe :dapprove:. I'm still rocking a Desire HD, so am desperate for an upgrade but would definitely prefer a Nexus device after HTC have been lagging with updates for their deivces in the past 12/18 months.

Mine just turned up !! need to go get a sim adapter though so I can put my iPhone 5 sim in it

I got mine on Friday after ordering on Wednesday

runs the same sim as an iphone 5

 

[_Tom]

Anyone know how to save contacts on to it? I've moved them from icloud using CardDav but once i get rid of the app it deletes my contacts again?

 

[Keydogg]

Surprised people are all getting theirs so quick, that's awesome. I nearly put my GS3 on ebay to order one but decided against it, now I have a FOMO

 

[Keydogg]

Tom, go to google.com/contacts via your pc and import from icloud to there, then they will magically appear on your phone

No, apple released the nano sim card for the 5, the nexus 4 used a micro sim

Just save all your contact to here, www.google.co.uk/contacts they will need sync to you google phone once you enter your account. Think you might be able to import to this also

IPhone 5 uses nano sim where as nexus uses micro sim.
Almost set mine up completely and its stunning. What a phone so far so good

Thanks. So much s**t on there now though..it seems to have every address i've ever emailed? lol

Back when I had an iphone I had it syncing with Google Contacts from the start so never had to do the switch so can't help you sorry dude!

 

[_Tom]

Ive gone through and deleted them all. Sorted now.

Just have to sort putting some music etc on now.

 

[_Tom]

If anyone's tempted by these I have a brand new spare delivered this morning. 16GB. You can have it for the price i paid.

Oh and as i thought, the phone seems awesome! Bye bye apple..

I made the "step" last november (luckily I managed to get one from the first batch) and I have zero regrets. My N7 convinced me that Android had reached a point where it wasn't a joke, so I pulled the trigger. Roll on key lime pie.

Every time I use the wifes iPhone 4 I can't believe how small the screen is!

 

[Alex5]

The only fault I found is the chrome browser as it was
Quite slow at loading web pages so I downloaded most used browser on android the dolphin browser and omg the difference is incredible it's so much faster and easier to use with better tabs and bookmarks

 

[_Tom]

For some reason i'm having issues getting my phone book to show on my Alpine head unit but im sure I'll sort that out..

it took me a few days to get used to the Chrome browser, but it's actually excellent when you get used to it a little more. Tabs are more like a desktop than any mobile browser i've used before which I like, and I find it really quick too.

Google just messed a mates order up and he got one for free, lucky b*****d!

I've not paid for either of mine yet? Strange

He ordered one, got an email saying 6 week wait time. So cancelled it, got his money back and email confirming etc. Then this morning Nexus 4 landed on his doorstep.

Hmm. I ordered, 2 week wait. Cancelled one within 10 minutes as i put the wrong address. Both been delivered within a few days of ordering. Neither paid for. I suspect he may get charged at a later date.

Yeah I assume they will take the money in next few days. If not though then lucky sod haha.

 

[BRUN]

think its now time to get one on order

 

[Virtual_Unknown]

I ordered mine on Sunday and the payment has already been taken so i assume it is on its way, however i cannot find an ETA on any of the emails i have received about it.

 

[Virtual_Unknown]

Also, has anyone grabbed a case for their Nexus yet?

I've been looking around and there are loads on offer, I like the look of the bumper but am unsure how much, if any protection it actually gives the phone.

Of the rest, they all look pretty similar in shape/style/design so i guess its a case of just taking the plunge?

 

[BRUN]

ive gone for a poetic borderline bumper for mine

 

[_Tom]

I'm not sure I can face putting a cover on mine. Has anyone found any front and rear protectors? The clear stick on thingies..

 

[BRUN]

ive ordered and SGP one off Ebay

 

[bertieg]

i ordered a black rubber case off amazon for about a fiver. certainly doesnt look as nice, but its better than scratches. i'd already dropped it a few times at work

 

[Virtual_Unknown]

I think that is what i will be doing, the phone looks really nice to i dont want to cover it up, even if it does mean it gets scratched a little more
