There are already a ton of resources on this and posts in these very forums BUT in short, yes. Now I'd suggest doing a search to find out why

Opinions are like... well you know what they are like.
With that said, I know I personally haven't used my phone except for calling when I have my Nexus 7 around.
Definitely recommend it.

Gonna pull the trigger but...

I have been plugging away on my GS3 with CM10 and loving it. Really want the N7 but will going from 4.8 to 7 inch screen significantly improve the experience enough to justify two devices?

I have an Infuse with a 4.5 and it looks small in comparison, of course I have been using a Nook Color for a tab so I knew what I getting into with the 7". Using the keyboard in landscape mode is great!!!!!
As somebody who owns a GS3 I feel it was totally worth the buy. I primarily use my phone when I'm on the go. When I get home it is all Nexus 7 for me. The bigger screen makes it much easier to browse the internet with.

I was wondering the same thing. I have my GS3 running AOKP, which I love...but this tablet looked perfect. I have a 10" HP, which was a bit too big to be comfortable in bed and typing on it sucked. This tablet is perfect for me...and I just flashed AOKP!! Bought it today so I am still in love with it. I didn't think I was going to keep it...but I was very wrong. Go for it bro!!
Just in case you do need further reassurance, I also have a sgs3 as well as a Nexus 7. My phone is for on the go, and my tablet is more for gaming like asphalt 7 and such.

I haven't used my phone all night, other than to respond to text messages. This pad is perfect. I could not be happier. Worst case buy o e and try it out. You could always return it. I had almost every I intention of doing that since this was not in my budget...but its that good that I'm keeping it.

I bought one recently and I don't like it at all. Probably because of the lack of custom roms. I'm a cyanogenmod person =x

Yeah, I see at least 2 cm10 nightlies and a couple more based on cm10. Not sure what he's on about.
you'll be glad you got it. I keep my phone in my pocket all the time and have it Bluetooth tethering my n7. I use my tab to text, make calls, etc. Very rarely do I ever use my phone anymore.

I don't get it, when we have an HTC or Samsung phone, we go to great measures to remove the stock Ui and only dream to have a pure android experience on it.
This is exactly what we have here. A pure android experience. Not sure what you're looking for when you look for a custom rom on the N7?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
Odd yeah? I just prefer the tweaks of cyanogenmod and it's launcher. Feels faster than stock.

Battery Increase

Hi guys,
This is my first post but I have been reading the posts about getting the most out of your battery and wondered if you if thought Google might offer a larger battery for the Nexus 4 like Samsung is doing for the S3.
Thanks

It is removable but its not as easy.
Highly doubt it. Even if you were able to (successfully) remove the battery and replace it with a custom larger one, you wouldn't be able to keep the OEM back (unless the custom battery came with a back). And it'd be thicker. And there'd be no shininess. Therefore, no.

First time I don't feel like getting a new phone...

I usually switch phones every 4 months but since I got my nexus 4 I do not feel like getting rid of the nexus 4. Anybody else feels the same out there?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
I do too. Except for the limited battery capacity, the phone feels great. You get to do what you like with it, no oem restrictions and always the first to get software updates.
I too am that type of person but I'm really enjoying the nexus!
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Me too! I plan on getting a new one in 2-3 years but only if there'll be another amazing Nexus available
Pretty much this. I'll probably just stick with whatever the latest Nexus is.
Unfortunately I don't feel the same way. This HTC One is calling me and I must get it.

Anything special about it? I read it has many production flaws + software will be two versions behind within 2 months when klp comes out. Still great phone though!

I was drooling over the HTC One when I first heard of it. But then I thought "Mine is better cuz it's cheaper, *****es".
(I still secretly love the HTC One tho. Please don't tell it to myself or I'll regret buying the N4)

i do... abit for the Z
The Nexus 4 is the perfect phone for me, no doubt about it.
However, being the tech geek that I am there is no doubt in my mind I will grab the Nexus 5 about 6 months after it's released (I don't want to deal with launch-day drama and hardware issues which always seem to plague the initial Nexus releases)
I can say, however, that I will only be buying Nexus phones from now on since they have finally stepped up to the plate with decent hardware and specs. The Gnex was a massive disappointment to me, I sold it within four months of owning it.
Same for me. I had the one x for the last year but it has started giving me trouble by not recognizing the Sim card was in the slot.
I was torn between the nexus 4. HTC one and the galaxy s4.
After much deliberation I went with the nexus 4 and I'm so glad I did.
I owned the nexus one before so I am already accustomed to the nexus experience.
I honestly didn't expect the 4 to be so much better than the one x. Snappier. Better gaming performance and longer battery life.
I'm so glad I switched

Good luck with HTC. I just sold my HTC OneX+ after 4 months only. Just can't stand anything except stock Android.
Same here, N4 is perfect for my needs.

I've upgraded from a BB Curve 3G, So as you could imaging this phone is one hell of a upgrade, So I won't be looking for a new phone anytime soon. Well happy with my Nexus 4

[Q] Nexus 4 worth?

I am about it buy it off of google so i do not get t-mobile's extra carrier apps that waste my space. currently it is 350 for 16gb and i was wondering if any of you regret buying it or should i purchase it.
Thank you!
Edit: I know there is no LTE, so so battery and camera, are those game changers, if not are there any other major problems?
I bought it 1 awhile back and it was great phone. Back cracked after a week in a case never dropped or abused. That was my only complaint and lack of lte support

T-mobile ones don't come with any extra software. Exactly the same as from Google.

Well he's saying it comes pure stock android. You can also tweak some settings to enable LTE on the Nexus 4 if you want it.

Does it still have the touchscreen problem? I tried swiping the wrapper off but it didn't work.

That only looks like a dual core Kit Kat. Must be a beta. Quad Core Kit Kat will be much better.
