The Nexus 4 is a great phone if you can get one...

As for Sony and their updates, my first Android phone before I knew anything about Android was a Sony Ericsson Xperia X10i and its biggest issue was updates. Released on Android 1.6, it didn't get 2.1 until 6-12 months after other devices and they promised then that things would change....

Really??

The Nexus 4 has at least four of the points sarge makes, it's screen is 4.7-inch True HD IPS PLUS with 1,280 x 768 resolution and whilst not 1080 it is on par with 720p devices like the HTC One X but it's IPS screen jumps out at you.
It does have 2GB of RAM and a Quad core processor, not to mention it's pure Android so the first to get updates.
The biggest thing though is the price, where else can you by a phone of this spec for 300 bucks...

It's too bad that we will probably never see the Nexus 4 on Verizon in the US. :-(

I just switched to Verizon. I went with a Rezound. It comes with Beats headphones. Lol.  We had originally gotten it for my kid but he said he wanted the fruity one. Couldn't talk him out of it. I hate iTunes. It ended up being cheaper to add a line to the family plan than keep my Boost account. This phone is pretty cool. ICS and decent camera. I really don't need anything better because the tablet covers pretty much everything the phone doesn't and vice versa. That is why I was alright with my cheap Samsung Prevail with Boost.

Well, I sure love my N4 but the price point wasn't, in my case, a factor at all.  I had to pay a bit of a premium on eBay just to get the smaller of the two models.  But it's a really cool device and I like having both the 4 & 7; a nice family... I'd recommend picking one up if you don't mind a slightly higher price or holding out until LG ramps up production to get it on the cheap.

The HTC DNA is the phone with the best hardware specs right now, but its only available on Verizon and I'm not a fan on HTC-sense.

I really like how well the moto droid RAZR m is built. Kevlar, carbon fiber, aluminum. I think its much better than plastic or glass backing but that's all personal opinion. I really like military type tech. I wish you could just make that phone bigger with the DNA screen and internals with 32gb of storage and inferred sensor with stock android.

The Motorola X looks interesting but if the latest news is correct you'll have to rely on your carrier/service provider for updates which is disappointing...

The HTC M7 looks nice but it's Sense UI although updated is equally as ugly as previous generations of Sense.

After owning the Nexus 7 and now the Nexus 4 I don't think could go back to OEM UI and updates. The UI of AOSP Android and timely updates are hands down a win win...

That's the part I'm struggling with the most. If the moto X is sold through the Google play store like all the rumors said than it will probably get its updates from Google, but some how still not be a nexus device.

I've read and I know what's written on the net isn't always accurate but I read that it will run stock Android but will be offered to carriers so therefore carrier branded and carriers will issue the updates?

Doesn't sound promising if true...

Rumors are saying you can also buy it unlocked from Google play

Yeah, all rumours and speculation so I guess we'll just have to wait and see...
