Yeah it sucks. Guess it's back to the internal debate of which phone I get. LTE is simply a must.

Yes, if this phone had 32gbs and LTE it would be a slam-dunk. As of now it's a tossup between this, the iPhone 5, and the Note 2.

for me no LTE eliminates it. I don't even care about storage. Running out of options here, didn't want to get the iphone a second time in a row but man do I hate all my currently available options.
Maybe I'll save my upgrade, meh. Probably not

I'm spoiled though. My cell plan comes with yearly upgrades so for me it's not about upgrade dates/re-signing. I can get the nexus next year if it comes with lte if I choose to go with iphone 5 now.
Dilemmas dilemmas. 1st world dilemmas. Still got a month to decide though.
Yeah it's pentaband.

I had some hope there would be a Verizon version but that was probably just wishful thinking.
Would it be a good idea to get the Galaxy Nexus even though its a year old?

£279 for the 16gb model in the UK??
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY.
That price is ridiculous. Course my only issue is that the second hand value of my Galaxy Nexus just fell through the floor. Darn.

My dog was murdered by a 3.5mm audio port and I will not rest until the standard is dead
Holy fucking shit. All this news is amazing.
It's so cheap. $350? That's incredible. I mean, this is game changing. It shows Google is looking to bring down the ever ridiculous price of phones. I would actually be able to buy a phone every year like it's no big deal instead of having a whole freaking circus surrounding the upgrade.
4.2 offers some welcome improvements. Fuck you, Swype! Good riddance to something I loved to hate. I hope Google took out a bunch of kinks with Swype, like how it degraded over time.
Who wants to buy my Note 1?

Stupidly cheap and the hardware looks great. Well done Google. Bit disappointed in 4.2 but it's probably sensible.

Can't wait to see some in-depth reviews just to see how much of a difference stock android has made on the hardware.
Still can't get over that price, absolutely insane. I thought £399 for the 16gb would've been a decent price given the specs but £279.... unbelievable.

I wish there was a Nexus phablet to replace both my GS2 and Touchpad. But £239/£279 for the Nexus 4 is crazy-cheap, I don't think I can resist a bargain like that.
I think for 4.0 and 4.1 the code was out a few days before the new devices.

I think it will more than hold you over for 2 years until a Nexus LTE model comes out and Verizon moves to VoLTE.
I've been so spoiled by 4G that I can't imagine going back. I do too much browsing on my phone. Most WiFi doesn't even match up.

Just noticed that Google Search and Maps have updates available in the Play Store. Google Search permissions have changed to allow access to NFC. Oooooh!
O rly? Did they announce something about this that I missed?
Randy Lanzarote

Not sure what they are intending to use it for, still trawling through all the news about it all. Although I'm now getting links to news stories that I have read on the Google Cards, so that's new.

How do you update Google Now? It isn't a separate app right?
Manual update of google search on the play store.
Damn... Damn... Dammmmmmmmn...
Tough choice here, Stay with Galaxy S3 or get a Nexus 4. I was already going to drop $350 on a Galaxy Nexus for my sister, Now I can take advantage.
2 downfalls, No SD Card and No Removable Battery. But pure Android Goodness!
What to do, What to do!

Why not at least HSPA+42?
You know, I found something interesting. On the Google Play Store, they list it as HSPA +21, but on the press release given to the media, it's listed as HSPA +42. Hopefully the info on the Play Store is wrong (maybe a mix-up from the Galaxy Nexus' specs), and the device is HSPA +42.
You will most definitely have to buy that separately.
OMG, you're saying the truth!!!!!

Google look what you've done to me. Because of this LTE disappointment you have me considering windows phone. Only because I want to say I've owned all 3 operating systems for at least a year.
But still. YOU DID THIS. YOU DID THIS TO US.

The Verge official first look at Nexi devices.

I was talking about the Nexus 4.
You can still get Google Music (storage) if you activate it with a proxy though.

Wowww, watching this now and it is amazing so far.
Widgets on the lock screen. Google slowly making 3rd party apps useless.
Edit 1: Swipe down the notification tray with 2 fingers gives you the quick settings screen. Wow, nice.

One thing I'm not a fan of; The glass back. Its one thing I hate about the iPhone, put it down on any surface and it just slips right of. I wonder if there have been some changes to make it a bit more 'frictiony'.
