nexus 5

[John Galt]

So far so awesome, however, I am repeatedly having a software issue with its camera. Namely, I go to sleep, and when i awake, the camera isn't working. restarting 'fixes' the problem. tech support wasn't unhelpful but they weren't helpful either

size wise it's a bit big, but they seem to all be big these days. frankly it only seems big if i use it while making a phone call, but for non-phone call actions (most of what the 'phone' is for these days) it's a great size. at a price of 350 unlocked, it's a great value

kitKat has a few additions. i can jsut start talking similar to how i can talk to glass, with "Ok google" and it starts listening and doing what i said. multitasking is of course great and it is very snappy

i switched from verizon to tmobile because of this phone. i had been waiting for an unlocked LTE enabled nexus device for some time because in order to grandfather in unlimited data i would need to buy the phone outright. i bought it immediately after it came out without even really looking at it (i had read the leaks beforehand mind you) but soon i discovered: verizon won't support it, likely because they are dickheads.

i switched for tmobile and here in the cities ive had no problem with voice or cell coverage, and it's actually cheaper for unlimited. so screw you verizon

I agree with the screw-you-Verizon sentiment. I'm rather fed up with AT&T and Verizon and their ridiculous pricing schemes.

I'm not buying another smartphone until someone lets me have one without a data plan. Wifi is more than sufficient.

i'm pretty sure you can buy one unlocked and not have any data plan. if you're complaining because someone is subsidizing your phone and you don't want to pay a data plan, TANSTAAFL

huh. yeah. you're right. i guess i shouldn't assume the phone companies aren't complete dicks in all things.
