Rumours are LG stopped making the Nexus 4 because they're working on the next one. I kinda wish HTC would make them again... > Good to know, but what is the absolute top of the line? Well, the Nexus 4 /is/ amazing, hardware-wise. The Samsung Galaxy S3 is pretty good too. The HTC Droid DNA has an amazing screen.... it's all about what you want. I'd be all over the HTC One X+ if it didn't have phsyical buttons. Also, for me, a requirement is a CyanogenMod port. > They did that with the Palm Pre, too. I wondered why.

Their story is that having external storage "confuses" people. I can kinda see that - this is why I say the Nexus 4 is more geared towards people like my mom than people like me. Don't get me wrong, my mom got a Samsung Galaxy S3 and /despite/ my advice, she unlocked, rooted and put CyanogenMod on it on her own. But having separate internal storage and external storage does confuse her a bit sometimes and makes it more difficult for her to find where exactly things are. >> That said, the Nexus 4 /was/ a lot cheaper off-contract than anything even >> remotely comperable. > I'll have to think about that, too. I'm not in much of a hurry, though, so I > can take some time to see what develops. Won't T-Mobile sell it off-contract? I thought they were doing that now. I've been with T-Mobile for almost a decade, but I never buy my phones from them. --
