Yeah gave the landlord the 30 day notice. I have a place in Florida set up already. Still trying to convince AM to come. That's a losing battle. But all I gotta do is get some more money under my belt and get a ticket. :o
 
AJ : you read that Yahoo article ? Three post ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Oh no you didnt! :p

The Galaxy nexus. Not the LG Nexus :)

Both Devices LG and iPhone 5 serve there purpose if you stand back and look at them. Apple really had no reason to include NFC in their phone (though I suspect it may be in the 5s) because NFC is not a officially adopted standard. Sure, I suspect iphone 5 users will be able to do some cool stuff with that, but who are they going to share it with? The nexus? The s3, I am sure there are platform issues there...

The hardware, well, the 5 is still a bit too small for my taste, the design of the phone is beautiful. Not to say my polycarbonate don't look good. The aluminum is more stiff then the polycarbonate but they both absorb shock differently. A good drop on either device just right will shatter the screen. Its a push.

The OS. This is where iOS really annoys me. You need a PC to backup your device. I had a ipod touch and when I moved drives, itunes wrecked my library and when I plugged my device in to add new music, it erased the stuff on my device! :mad:

You also need the PC to restore the thing. Everything about android can pretty much be done from the phone. Heck, you may be able to push SU through terminal, but the joke is, you need to be rooted to do so. So you need a PC in most cases to do just that. But after that, its all good.

The lack of LTE on the LG nexus 4. Pfffttt... What good is LTE when service is spotty? Where there is service, there are a limited number of towers so that can lead to network congestion. I think HSPA+ was a smart move. Now google pretty much has control over the device without carrier meddling. I dig the fact I can buy the device for 350 or 300 bucks and be ready to roll with out being bound to a carrier contract! (though I am still bound to a carrier contract right now, but a prepaid sim card!? Nice!)

Without LTE, I believe this allows for more then dual core CPUs, Though I cannot find the exact specs for the Nexus 4, if its a dual or quad core chip I do know its a snapdragon S4.

I do remember that is why us S3 users ended up with 2gb of ram because we lost the quad core chip so we could make use of LTE (where available)

I think with the Nexus 4, google pulled an Apple. Or used the axiom, "Just because you can, don't mean you should."

As far as the N10, its made by samsung, and I can't help but wonder if there is going to be another lawsuit from Apple down the line, just because of the google samsung and apple love triangle.

EDIT: Looks like perhaps the Nexus 4 has a quad core CPU. If you can believe wikipedia that is :o
 
Anyone else think it's funny that the Trophy costs more than 3x as much as the Gnex? :confused:
If you thought VZW hates the Nexus program, they REALLY hate WP7/8!
