For those considering T-mobile prepaid, free SIM card

Thanks a lot that is great info! Do you think the Samsung S3 is worth the extra $$ over the Nexus 4? They seem very similar, what advantage is having the S3? I'm guessing the S3 uses the standard sized SIM, so I wouldn't have to re-size it?

Thanks again!

A small correction to an above post, the Nexus 4 uses a Micro SIM, just like the Galaxy S3. Assuming you have a Standard size SIM, you will need to cut down your SIM or get a new one.

Personally, I'd prefer the Nexus 4 over the S3, though it comes down to personal preference. I like getting the latest Android directly from Google as updates are released, as well as the lack of bloatware.

As for the music, Google Music is your friend.

As for the ROMs, I have no doubt that the Nexus 4 will have a very active development community and likely more ROMs than the S3. The Nexus devices are very easy to root, largely since one of the main purposes of the Nexus line is for development.

google music is great but here in nyc when your underground on trains that wont cut it also battery drainage is an issue with it but if you can use it than its a good deal its just for me in my situation its not something i can use all the time

thanks guys. I really love the look of the S3, but for the money it seems like the Nexus 4 would be my choice. Storage not really an issue for me, and I use Google play music. And I do love the lack of bloatware (one of my biggest complaints with my current phone). Only problem is the N4 is back-ordered for 6-7 weeks, so if I want it I'll have to wait until after x-mas. I'm not over-paying for one on ebay.
