Is that Google Music Shazam thing part of the OS, or will it be coming to us 4.1 users via an update to the Google Music app?
It's actually just part of the Play Store APK, it's just hidden for most users right now. When music becomes available on the market, the widget should become active.

Pretty sure they went with S4 because it's the fastest quad-core out there.
My wallet...
Put up my Nexus 7 8GB on eBay and purchased a Nexus 7 32GB. Price dip too hard to refuse especially when it means I can install those large games and not have to shuffle them.
Once the Nexus 4 16GB is available I will be jumping on that and putting my Galaxy Nexus on eBay too

this sounds like a good idea...
though if I sell my 16gb nexus 7, i'll probably get a Nexus 10...
Also...wondering if I should sell my one x and get the N4, only thing stopping me is that 16 gb, maybe they will upgrade to 32gb later? on 2nd thought, maybe i'll wait.

The non-Verizon Gnex never got past 16 GB either. I wouldn't be holding out a lot of hope at this point.

Anyone bought a device off the Play Store in the UK? How long did delivery take? Would like an N4, albeit arriving ASAP after Nov 13th.
By the time 32GB would be released i bet a Nexus 5 will already be half ready.
Moto Razr M. I believe it's 4.3". If you are in the USA probably your best bet right now.
In addition to Futureman's suggestion check out the Xperia V. The reason I like Sony phones is that they make it very easy to use a custom Android build and get something very close to AOSP, if you care about that sort of thing.

Looks great but locked to a shitty carrier here
Teeny bit bigger but looks really nice. Thanks, will check it out.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
HTC One S is the smaller phone in the one lineup compared to the One X. It's still 4.3" though which is hardly iPhone 4 size. There is another HTC phone that's sub 4", but it's more of a budget phone.

I like big phones like the One X :/

I have a question regarding bluetooth keyboard on android phones. Is it worth it?
Last night I found my old apple wireless keyboard, so I thought I would try it on my phone. Somehow I can't get it to pair with my phone. Everytime I click on pair, it wouldn't give me the option of entering pairing pin on the phone. Yet if I input 0000 or whatever number on the keyboard, in split second, the phone shows me the correct pin and then immediately proceeds to tell me I entered an incorrect passkey.
i don't get this at all. Am I doing something wrong?
My phone is galaxy note with rooted ICS. The wireless keyboard the original 2003 keyboard.

Hey, not all of us are clamoring for smaller phones. I'm happy going from my old 4" phone to my new 4.7" size!
I think you need to have the address information in the "where" part of the Google Calendar event.
Duh! That makes sense. Thanks!

My dog was murdered by a 3.5mm audio port and I will not rest until the standard is dead
Yeah. I hate that. It's confusing.
My girlfriend first wanted a smaller phone. But now she is happy with One X and also considered the S3. You get used to it pretty fast and it's just great for reading ebooks. My gf and me read alot of ebooks on the phone. Even in bed. Never going back to smaller than 4"3.
Works on everything but stock Android? lol

Hmm so the Nexus 4 DOES support HSPA+. It's no LTE...but it aint bad....
Back into dilemma mode.
Back into dilemma mode.
DC-HSPA+ (42mbps).
Only Bell and Telus have it though. Still far way from LTE. On Rogers I get about an average of 90ms ping on LTE and ~15Mbps down (maxes out around 50Mbps in random spots) whereas HSPA+ will give me about 5Mbps down and nearly 200ms ping. The response times make a noticeable difference IMO. Still not sure if I should give up LTE but I'm pretty much forced to charge twice a day with it on...
Also, it seems like you can't stream YouTube HD over HSPA+ so that's another thing I'll lose.

I am on Bell. And yeah it is far from LTE. My mom gets GREAT speeds on her iphone 5 with LTE. But in Toronto I think you can easily get 10+ down and 5+ up with HSPA+.
I say dilemma mode now, but in the end I'll cave to LTE, it's just such a must these days, especially in Canada where it's everywhere already. I COULD get the Optimus G, but man that form factor is iffy. Also it's probably going to be a chore and a half to get stock android on it. It would solve a lot of my problems though.
I wonder how long it'll be before people can get stock on the G without breaking anything. It doesn't even have jelly bean :/

http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/10/30/samsung-korea-hints-at-the-existence-of-a-64gb-nexus-10/
see it's this kinda business (along with the N7 fiasco) that makes me think eventually they will throw 32GB onto the Nexus 4. Only then will it be mine...unless I get 1080p fever. then i'll just have to wait for the Nexus 5 by HTC with Google tm

how do you guys live in the cloud?
Do you not watch movies? Do you not play with a lot of apps on your phone?
i swear them coming out with a 64gb Nexus 10 signifies one thing to me:
they only came out with an 8gb nexus 4 as a loss leader (and the 8gb Nexus 7)...
but this is getting downright ridiculous now though...
it's why they don't have 8 gb in the nexus 10, they know that's not cool.
they are probably just willing to bet that people don't like to have a lot of video on their phone....but what about the apps...they forgot that apps take up space and that 16gb is not even really 16gb. i wish i could talk to these people and shake them. this 16gb shit is driving me nuts

antutu benchmarks for the Nexus family, apparently recorded by antutu himself
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33484885&postcount=5
i don't really think much of benchmarks, because they don't measure the "fun" or "usefulness" of a device in a real world way, but for you stat whores, open those legs up and click that link.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
I have a decent amount of apps, but I guess the apps I have aren't large games or anything so space isn't a huge concern. Then I just pull down the music for the moment, and every couple of months I'll delete albums I'm just not listening to that I have saved for offline use.
That being said I had an 8 gig device before this, and I'll fully admit I ran out of space. That being said the jump to 16 gigs has been more than enough for me. I have a bunch of regular apps and roughly 10-12 games + some saved music. Throw in my pics, and I'm still under the 16 gig cap even if I'm over the 8 gig cap.
PS: I just stream movies with the Netflix app.

I don't store much on my phone. Music I use my ipod. I watch movies and stuff on my tablet. My phone is mostly for pics/email/browsing the web/texting/occasional gaming if there's something good.
My iphone has a lot of apps but honestly I can easily get rid of 3/4 of them right now and mark em as things I rarely use or won't ever use again. I could get the 8gb nexus 4 and be perfectly fine. I got the 8gb nexus 7 and never thought about space since I've had it.
