    I recognized "sitting at work".

    I sometimes post in threads I have no business posting in.

    what network are you on in socialististan canada?
  • ThraxThrax 🐌 Austin, TX Icrontian
    Not one with LTE. But this also bodes will for T-Mobile's eventual deployment, as they're approved for provisioning on Band 4. Is almost like they planned for that!
  • shwaipshwaip bluffin' with my muffin Icrontian
    Looks like the N4 will be on sale today starting at 12pm PST.

    also I saw speeds of around 16/4 in Branford, CT this past week.

    Eli got notice that our phones will ship this week. I r excite.
  • shwaipshwaip bluffin' with my muffin Icrontian
    so what launcher is everyone using? I'm still using the stock, but I've got a few complaints and would like to try out something new.
  • ThraxThrax 🐌 Austin, TX Icrontian
    Apex launcher or GTFO.

    Checking in. Hooray for thoughtful and awesome Christmas presents! I wasn't going to get one for myself (finally couldn't justify it over an existing phone), but... well, now I has. Now I need to pick up a micro-SIM...

    I also, however, imagine I'll be sticking with the GNex for specific scenarios - I use the dock for its plug-free connections and audio out capabilities, as my main example. I'll be picking up a wireless charger for the N4 at some point, but I don't think I'll be able to replicate that use case with the docks I've seen.
  • shwaipshwaip bluffin' with my muffin Icrontian
    this charger looks pretty decent: http://www.reddit.com/r/nexus4/comments/15767t/nexus_4_with_panasonic_qi_wireless_charger/

    I guess on most of them you have to place it exactly at the right spot, but this one will 'find' your phone
  • shwaipshwaip bluffin' with my muffin Icrontian
    bought the charger. It's pretty slick...
  • AnnesAnnes Tripped Up by Libidos and Hubris Alexandria, VA Icrontian
    Anyone using a case? If so, which one? This bitch just slid off a moleskin notebook...
  • shwaipshwaip bluffin' with my muffin Icrontian
    I was gonna try to buy a bumper, but they are sold out online.

    I'm not using anything right now, but I was thinking of picking up the Poetic Borderline - an alternative bumper. Reviews say they like it, from what I've read.

    Here's a vid review of 4 cases, one of which is the Borderline:

    \\Edit: The audio's kind of painful. You might want to mute it.
  • SnarkasmSnarkasm Madison, WI Icrontian
    By the way, mine had a 4-5 foot drop onto tile today - nary a scratch or a ding. Very impressed and relieved.
  • ThraxThrax 🐌 Austin, TX Icrontian
    Whereas the upper rear of my phone, including the camera lens, already looks like someone attacked it with a small brillow pad. It has never left my pocket, and I cannot for the life of me think of where I would have encountered any material with Mohs hardness 8+ to cause these kinds of scratches.
  • TushonTushon I'm scared, Coach Alexandria, VA Icrontian
    Nexus 4's are available with estimated 1-2 week shipping at this time. $350 for 16GB
  • TushonTushon I'm scared, Coach Alexandria, VA Icrontian
    I am now in the cool kids club. Time to try trimming this pesky SIM card.
  • ThraxThrax 🐌 Austin, TX Icrontian
    I fucked up my SIM and bought a micro. Good luck.
  • TushonTushon I'm scared, Coach Alexandria, VA Icrontian
    Since my roommate that has a microSIM wasn't home, I went by a retail store today and they used punch tool. Worked fine though I will probably smooth it out a little bit anyways.

    I have become one of you.

    Any thing I should do now that I have the phone? Root? DPI modifications? Cocaine?
