Can you go into the play store from the phone and download in mp3 music you've already bought? If so, how?

One of the reasons I love nexus devices is the lack of manufacture branding on the front, like the iPhone I love the minimalist look. If that x phone render is right and it has a bug Motorola logo on the front in would be really put off.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
This allows you to stream songs too from other players.
BTW I hate on Nvidia a lot as well, but let's not go to crazy. Granted this was all from the Nvidia hype machine, but the theoretical performance, camera software, and software modem are all rather nice.
Plus I doubt the S600 is as fast as the Tegra 4. So that leaves only Samsung to try and out do it.

Very happy with that review. Battery life doesn't bother me as I'm sure there's ways to improve it, and I doubt it's as bad as the S3, camera I can deal with too. Hopefully a possible software update will come out to improve it, if possible.
My biggest problem is switching from ios to android. Gonna take some learnin'.
There's always hope for Shield!

Tegra is disappointing for the X Phone. And 16 megapixels? I wonder what sensor is being used. The dimensions are very appealing. Once again, I hope it's good. But there's some red flags here.
Just put a black tape on it. Thats what I do. People keep asking what my Samsung phone is.
i'm unaware on how to do it from your phone. Only thing from the phone is pinning it
there is no hope for the shield. The only hope is that each iteration has gotten better, total shit, to mediocre shit, maybe it will be creamy smooth shit with the T4i
Tegra 3 and 2 were both meh chips, but they came out early. Not so for the T4i (overclocked T3).
So far out of all announced phones the LG Opt G Pro has the nicest hardware. If I see a good deal I will go for it. I don't think I can wait another half year for the Note 3.
Seems like Droid Life has their doubts: http://www.droid-life.com/2013/03/1...nternet-rounds-doesnt-make-much-sense-either/
The T4i is more then an overclocked T3, its not a T4 though

Sony have a 16MP module in development, but it won't be ready for use in devices so soon. I don't know of any other phone camera modules with such high pixel density, Toshiba could have one though, they have been increasingly aggressive having seen Sony's overwhelming success in the sector.

I don't visit them much but that's weird lol. Why do they care about Verizon so much. Verizon seems like garbage.
ah, so that's a possibility.

So tempting. But with regards to battery life, one full day is the minimum, and I'm not sure this will last through a day.
They initially covered Verizon and Verizon only. Eventually, they expanded to all things Android, but still hold a candle for anything DROID
Verizon

I had a quick look in /r/android on Reddit and someone posted a couple of links to other reviews that had a more in depth look at the battery on the One and said it was excellent. So who knows.

Only a remote one. I haven't heard of a 16MP module from Tosh, just speculating that they might have one in development because they said they are ready to compete with Sony in the sector.
To this date, I would've agreed with you, however the tides have changed.
Like I've maintained, VZ won't get a taste until July at the earliest. Google really doesn't give a shit about their network (from the global perspective) hence why the delay for their carrier.

Aokp has had this for ages, really nice feature.In hope cm has the lock phone one, it us really nice just flicking from the bottom of the screen to lock the screen rather than press the power button.

No they haven't. Tegra is still garbage. They haven't even got unified fully programmable shaders yet, seriously it's still DX9.0c equivalent. T4i is garbage, quad A9 and a shitty GPU.

What I don't get is WHY google would use a 4i in their phone. Why not just use an s600 or s800? What's the rationale.
what?! i love having large shitty pictures!
Qualcomm is not open. Qualcomm in a nexus died with the N1
edit... to be reborn with the N4
16 MP is too small, Sony. 20 MP or bust!
Heh Motorola didn't get the memo.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Fully programmable software modem?
-Pyromaniac-

Oh wait for some reason I thought the Galaxy Nexus used a qualcomm chip. Totally forgot that was OMAP.
Google is very adamant in using under dog chips. This move will forecase nVidia's decision to exit the mobile market next year hehehe.

It isn't though. At least not this one. It come preconfigured for GSM only. Maybe future Icera modems will be properly programmable by the vendor, but T4i isn't. It is literally a piece of crap.
*Paging Linus* But yeah, that's why.

The crazy part is that Sony do just fine with Qualcomm and they are pretty open.
Its GSM and LTE only, not CDMA. Which is fine for what google sells on the play store
edit... also the N4 uses Qualcomm... so yeah, that rule went away i guess. Poor Nexus 4, no one even remembers it exists.

What about the part droid life mention about the slide being bs? Its not that I don't believe you pctx but... I can't think of a way to finish that sentence.
-Pyromaniac-

pctx, is the plan to still release the x phone at a good price on the play store?

What I was saying is that the T4i modem is not programmable by the OEM and come pre-configured for GSM based bands only so it wouldn't be a huge selling point.
Yeah, because Qualcomm saw they were losing business with their BS so they opened up a bit.

LOL totally forgot about the nexus 4.

that one i gotta say is the least fake looking so far... the pattern on the front even matches the invitation pattern
I like it too. Prefer the rounded corners like the s3. Much more comfortable in the hand that way. But who knows could be fake.
And ill take the plastic over the so called premium materials that scratch if you look at them the wrong way.
indeed. Samsung knows what real premium materials are. just like the peeps that make premium automobiles. they use the right stuff for the job.
i was under the impression from everything i read it is still programmable, band programmable and fully updatable, just not for CDMA
Doubt it, the Moto arm has to be for profit.

Then it isn't fully programmable, just adjustable.

I'll say they're fake. Samsung did the same thing last year. They have too many prototypes in the wild to know. I'll say that a lot of it is real, like the pattern you mention, as well as the aluminium around the edges, but the actual casing is not the final casing.
but google is trying to push their store aren't they? I'm not saying 300 bucks, of course. But like 400-500 bucks. Somewhere in between that range. They could sell through carriers and their own store.
I'm going to assume that all the time spent finagling around with experimental Ubuntu previews and trying to retro fit ICS and JB onto a Nexus One, you completely missed this feature in ROMs....since, oh, summer of last year?
But as is the case with many of the features found in said ROMs, get on that shit Google.
If its the T4i its supposed to be, like the other tegra's, very very cheap.
thats splitting hairs to me. I'd say its adjustable to CDMA as well if it was capable.
Oh yeah, it'll probably be on play, but not nexus prices. Will be interesting to see how they pull that off.

lol
Since I've been using a phone with shitty capacitive buttons I haven't really cared about the slick Now activation.
Plus romcity? fuck that place, it's a last resort.
