Launch event's been cancelled...man that sucks now we have to wait even more to buy the Nexus 4 which will be available for a sweet $399 from the Play Store!

if it was going to be based on the Xperia T then thank God Sony didn't make it. an S4 + a non removable 1850 mAh + Bravia engine? no thanks.

Well, they said the nexus 4 is based on the optimus g. Where is the 32GB internal memory? -_-'

it's Google's decision not LG. just like with the Nexus 7. Edit: for the record, the

it does seem a little bland but it could look much better in real life

Isn't that xperia t looks like a nexus for you? Lol

I dunno, I like the design of the Galaxy Nexus, and I think LG made some tweaks that make it their own to some degree. It's not the best design in the world, but it's better than a lot of other phones. I'd like to see the next HTC Nexus, I must say I like their designs

the front side looks almost similiar to the gnex ! if you don't wanna change it don't change it, what they did is only change the earpiece & proximity sensor location ! it uses a sim card tray which is not user friendly because you have to use sort of a needle to open it ! what if you didn't have it ? you're pretty much screwed ! thus the battery is not removable, what if you want to use extended battery ?

where are you google's or lg's designer ? did apple capture them ?

shame on you google for choosing lg over sony !!

The Sony devices are coming with not removeble batterys as well. Or i'm wrong?

I Know that i never changed my SIM card, and my battery in 18 months with the same phone...

So, for me, this is not a problem...

I think Nexus devices are making their own signature look in the front, just a clean front without branding and some signature design queues from the OEMs.

+1 is what I think.

OEMs design their nexus devices, much like they design their own smartphones. Google just tells OEMs what features they want for a nexus, and they approve the design for the OEM's nexus.

LG's infamous for it's late updates but this is an exception, updates come directly from Google.

Maybe Sony is for next year's nexus line, it might be awesome.

what do you think about nexus 4's design ? is it better than galaxy nexus ? (design not MATERIAL, i know you all are gonna say gnex is made of plastic)

15. PowTheBowl (Posts: 86; Member since: 19 Apr 2012)

I think the GNex is better (for design), I think this nexus attracts women as LG's phones look like they're for women.

16. Nikolas.Oliver (banned) (Posts: 1574; Member since: 01 Jul 2012)

lmao, nexus is not a phone for women! iphones are...

We don't need to worry about if LG is going to support this device or not because Google will be the one directly sending the updates for this phone. We can ignore LG's software track record with this Nexus phone and that's what makes this an attractive one. Let LG worry about the hardware and Google worry about the software. Best o' both worlds! :) :)

Opinion, I love the glass back.

And WP8 is different in each phone?
