2of my buddies have one. Thing is massive but it's such a beast, I like big screens so I didn't mind it when I held it but its such an animal when it comes to running apps and anything else you might do.

Just to point this out, but technically there are no such things as 4G phones. (4G is a standard that requires 1Gbps downloads and
consistent 100Mb/s downloads.) LTE is definitely amazing though.

Unrelated, but I heard a great line. "If condoms can get 40% thinner, why can't phone cases?" (Was talking about ugly carrier branding and using a case to hide it)

Actually 4G LTE-A(advance) is consistent 100mb/s downloads.
4G LTE we have really is 3.9G.

Mobile WiMAX Release 2 (also known as WirelessMAN-Advanced or IEEE 802.16m') and LTE Advanced (LTE-A) are IMT-Advanced compliant backwards compatible versions of the above two systems, standardized during the spring 2011,[citation needed] and promising speeds in the order of 1 Gbit/s. Services are expected in 2013
can't wait!

Got mine on Tuesday. It is beautiful and amazing. HSPA+ seems almost every bit as fast as my buddies 4G speed.
I'm using face lock, even though it is completely useless.

Now that the LG Optimus G's bootloader has been unlocked, I'll probably upgrade to that since I'm on Sprint and can't get the Nexus 4

seconded. I would totally switch to sprint, but their coverage in South Dakota is simply awful.
I would consider T Mobile as well, but they aren't in South Dakota.

meh. $600 for a phone kind of sucks, but it's better than paying for sprint's poor service.

LEAVE ME ALONE! But to be fair, the iPhone 5 is by far the fastest phone on the market. That's the main reason I got it.

it's so that the iphone can continue to function reasonably in spite of it's utterly horrific memory management. really, they're roughly identical.

People keep saying things like the iPhone 5 is "by far" the fastest phone, but I don't notice a significant difference between my Galaxy S III and my wife's iPhone 5.

People said the iPhone 4 was faster "by far" than the iPhone 4 when told it was an iPhone 5.

I don't know if anyone else is having this issue, but my Galaxy Nexus won't charge if it's turned on. This crap started yesterday and it's pissing me off.
Luckily it's still under that first year warranty, but what a pain in the ass. I tried different cables and outlets, soft reset, factory rest, and nothing worked. Of course the person who was helping me on the Samsung Live Chat was clearly not a fluent English speaker, so it was hard to even ******* communicate with them.
