well um the nexus, the hd2 may have alot of different OS's to boot to, but that snapdragon processor is not going to perform well in the future
+1 to Nexus S!!! Hands down on this one
Another nexus vote here...

The HD2 is good as a plaything, if you want to try out different OS, but it doesn't match the function and usability of Nexus S.
The battery life is horrible, if you intend to use a HD2 at all then you'd better be resigned to spare or extended batteries. The processor isn't too bad, but still won't match the NS
All in all, it depends on your personal preference, whether you'd rather functionality or simply options.
I had a Hero and I bought a HD2 last summer and put android on it. The HD2 really lowered my respect for HTC. The devices screen was awful - it was really washed out compared to my Hero. Also, the digitizer was not accurate even after calibration within android. You could also see the digitizer touch sensors under the screen in normal daylight. The touch screen would also miss presses, like one press in ten wouldn't be registered by the device - extremely annoying when you are txting. Luckily I kept my Hero and got shut of the HD2, but it left me disappointed.
Anyway I saw the Nexus S deal over on hotukdeals and thought I'd give it a shot as £200 was the max I wanted to spend. Anyway I can safely say that I am a Sammy man from now on. The phone has really exceeded my expectations, especially running ICS.
It's a shame as I always had a soft spot for HTC with the Hero being my first smartphone. But it's sad to say that the nexus one/desire was probably the last great phone HTC have made for the Uk market.
Cheers.

Nexus, hands down!
p.s.
What answers did you expect posting this question in the Nexus forum?
Remember when the rumors were floating around about Google releasing '5' Nexus devices by the end of the year? I'm still wondering if these rumors are true.
1. Nexus 7
2. Nexus Q
3. Nexus 10
4. Nexus 4
5. ?
Google has released two tablets, a media device, and one phone. Wouldn't it be nice to have a 2nd Nexus phone? What about the whole 5" HTC Nexus phabet that was rumored? Is there one last device to come out by years end?
There will be no extra device to come out. The 5th device is the new version of the Nexus 7 they announced.
I doubt they will muddy the waters with another mobile device esp a phone, the Nexus 4 has a 4.7inch screen releasing a 5inch phone would be stupid business sense, for a mobile phone it makes much better sense to just have one, it helps the developers and it helps the consumer, as apps can be created and installed knowing that they will always work.
If they were to release another device it would be something different, not a phone not a tablet, perhaps a 'Nexus TV' (a set top box like a Google TV).
Maybe the nexus TV could be a proper smart TV made in collaboration with LG, with android on board... that would be nice

In all honesty, it was Verizon that gave CDMA Galaxy Nexus a bad name.
I highly doubt they will release 5

i agree with you. the HSPA+ nexus 7 would be the 5th one. so thats it until next year
Let the voting begin...
1. Was using a g1 again
2. Tired of carrier phones their Dev support isn't nearly as strong as vanilla phones
3. Price to power ratio
4. Development
5. Lte support for T-Mobile

I wanted a state of the art developer device!
After I owned the Galaxy Nexus for a while, I decided to go for an HTC One X. This was due to the superior radio/antenna and camera (at the time). Development was strong, but HTC are dicking around with their customers. Currently the dev scene on the One X is dying, which made me remember how good it was on the Galaxy Nexus. I just missed that development community. So, I bought a Nexus 4. No sweat.
Should add an entry:
Because the phone supports AWS band; Works with T-mobile in US, Wind and Mobilicity in Canada, etc.
Low price phone + low price plans combined makes it such a good deal.
Price had alot to do with it also the fact that I wanted a newer, faster phone with a HD screen!

I wanted to go back to Android, and I wanted the best combination of high-end hardware and good price I could get. The Nexus 4 delivers.
Price, dev support, Google support, sexy as hell, and good hardware.

1: PRICE
2: A nexus
3: Awsome hard ware
4: Great support
5: and Most importantly, I want to get rid of this aging Iphone 4. :laugh:
I got it mostly because I hate Sense and Touchwiz. When are they going to make these stupid overlays optional and give me more options on phones. I just had the thought of a Black HTC One S with stock android..... beautiful.
1. had a motorola defy, needed an upgrade
2. specs, hardware quality
3. aosp/google device
4. price
5. cyanogenmod support
5. its beautiful ^^

Since I'm switching over from iOS, might as well it'll be a pure Android experience.
Because I like my nexus 7 so much! Sold my backup phone a galaxy s3 and bought the nexus 4 to back up my daily driver, the note 2.

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?

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.

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

looking at Canonicals system requirements for Ubuntu here, it would appear that even the nexus 4 which is the best officially supported device currently isnt up to the "Superphone" requirements. The gs4 google edition seems like a reasonable choice however it only has 16gb emmc so it too doesnt fully meet up to the superphone requirements. I am seriously considering just waiting for the first snapdragon 800 phones to ship as i would expect much better performance for ubuntu.
Do you think the snapdragon s4 pro(nexus 4), or even 600(gs4 ge) can provide a good ubuntu desktop experience?
I think that a regular 1.2Ghz Dual Core can provide a good ubuntu desktop experience.
A nexus 4 or gs4 ge probably can provide an awesome experience.
LG Optimus G could handle Ubuntu touch fairly well.

The "requirements" are set for phone manufactures so that when Ubuntu is ready to be released on devices the requirements should still be a top end phone. Those are not meant to be read and followed by normal users flashing over Android or something.
Well... you make a compelling argument for the nexus 4. Im really debating picking up the white model when it comes out now. However i still feel hesitant knowing the phone has already been out for 9 months and will likely have a successor in the next few months.
edit: correction its been 7 months.

Moto X is probably considered its successor which will be released this summer.
If you prefer to wait I would say wait at least until its specifications is revealed.
But don't be afraid of buying the Nexus 4, it's a good choice.

But you're right about the Moto X though.
Hi,
i use my S3 with ubuntu (as an app) with unity. The performance is OK, but 4.3" is a bit to small for 1280x720, so i use normaly X redirection over SSH.

Well.. Nexus is THE developers platform for Canonical -Not gs4/htc/sony etc... So now you have 2 options:
1. Get nexus 4 now and install ubuntutouch 'official'
2. Get a (insert any phone) and pray for updates/ports

For now I'm putting daily builds on my GNex... Ubuntu Touch is is no way ready for seamless desktop mode yet...
Once it all comes together, the N4 will probably get UT and see use as a daily driver. The system requirements cited in the OP are most likely for OEMs considering new hardware dedicated to Ubuntu Touch. Meanwhile, while the world waits for that dedicated hardware, the Nexus Line is obviously the smartest choice for LTS (Long Term Support) through Canonical.

If they cannot get a manufacturer to support them and out out UT devices then the Nexus devices are the smartest choice, however if they have a manufacturer that is wanting to build phones specifically for UT that would be the best thing for them to do and the smartest choice. I don't see many big manufacturers steeping forward though and I wonder if it is Google stopping them from doing so, that's a little tin hattish I know but.....
