Ridiculous?
Watch the trailer.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdlBeKpsF7MAfter watching it, I came to the conclusion that I didn’t want to see any more.
If you flash a turd in front of my face, I won’t need to eat the whole thing to tell you I don’t like it…

Zombieland was hilarious. If people weren’t so adament about comparing it to the movie and just watch it for what it was, they might enjoy it more.
How could you not compair it to the movie? They basically took the movie and substituted different actors. I watched the trailer, and it was not good.

Thanks!
I’m sure I don’t want to be what you consider cool.

Not $600, but it would be at a higher price point, and I’m sure the camera was one of quite a few sacrifices that were made to meet the current price point. A higher price would have been a dealbreaker for me personally…
I don’t think the N4 is the perfect device for me. It could definitely be better in many areas, but I realize that for the price, I have a hellova good phone.. So I don’t see the point of whining about its relatively few shortcomings.
In the world of consumerism we get what we get, but eventually you will probably get what you want… Petition to Google and the phone manufacturers. Make your desires known to the people who can make it happen. That’s the best you can do.

I dumped Verizon as soon as the Nexus 4 was available. I’m still happy I made the decision.

My wife has a a verizon HTC Rhyme. I wish I had tried harder to talk her out of that decision, but she just had to have a purple phone.. Anyway, HTC promised to update it to ICS, and still to this day has not gotten it, and probably never will. What a POS.
She’s now using my old Droid Razr Maxx (with a purple case) and have a Nexus 4. We’re both way happier.

Wanting a better camera in a Nexus is not taboo, but you have to be realistic here. You take a $300 phone and compare it feature for feature against phones that cost ~$650 are you really surprised that a phone that costs less than half the price falls behind in a couple categories? I mean, if the Nexus 4 was as good or better as the flagship models in every category, I’d say all the other phone manufactures would have a lot of explaining to do….
I have a Nexus 4, and I love the phone for many reasons (admittedly the camera’s quality isn’t high on my list of priorities). I do take quite a lot of photos with it. Most of those photos turn out very well because I know it’s strengths and weakness. Does it have the greatest camera in a phone? Nope, but I wouldn’t have bought it if it cost more money, so I happily deal with a few shortcomings.

Everything you find missing was only a rumor. Rumors cannot be taken seriously because, well they are just rumors.

I didn’t even know Google+ had games… Although that’s probably because I avoid social networking like the plague.

I’m disappointed that they didn’t integrate Google Voice.. Knowing that they plan on bringing GV into it at a later date is only slightly promising. Kinda like Google is saying someday, maybe…

At work or in my car the my devices function as a hands free, and I just use them if I’m called. When I’m home there is a button to toggle bluetooth or headset when you receive a call. I believe it is in the same place as the speakerphone/headset toggle. Just touch the answer button, then hit the toggle, and talk on the phone like normal.

Oh- and I listen to audiobooks via bluetooth headset all day while at work, and my battery is typically above 60% by the time I get home on my Nexus 4. Battery drain with bluetooth is a non issue.

I use bluetooth to stream music to my home (and car) sound system. I can have my phone in my pocket, or place it on my charging mat if it’s short on battery… Sound docks seem a bit antiquated to me.

I say let the dead stay buried. It’s been a long time since the murders had happened, and the murderer is long since dead himself. Why dig up the past and stir up feelings that people have probably gotten past if there is nothing to be gained by it?

My gaming PC has HDMI that is working on my TV perfectly. I have a wireless Xbox 360 controller that works seamlessly for games that I wouldn’t rather use KB & mouse. It’s in a case that fits in my entertainment center perfectly, and is more visually pleasing to me than any console currently available. It has better graphics, easily upgradable, no fee for online play, and it’s also a much more well rounded media center than a console… Not to mention all the other stuff you can do with a computer that you cannot with a console.

I don’t fear guns at all… They are intimate objects that have no ability to harm me at all on their own.
I do fear stupid and crazy people though. One of those things (people) could take a spoon and kill me with it if they were determined enough… In your rationale then, fear of spoons is not irrational either.

Have you seen the price of ammo? Way more money is made on ammo than guns…
This is only a guess (since I haven’t kept strict track) But I have spent approximately $2,000 on my guns, but I have shot probably at least $10,000 worth of ammo through them in the last 15 years alone.12 days ago on Lawmakers rush to ban 3D-printed guns, but enforcement options are murky 2 recommends

There are plenty of other choices for external battery packs. Some of which are big, and some are small… I’d much rather have a battery pack that can recharge anything I want than have to buy batteries and charger every time I get a new device.

My first android phone had 16MB on board, and I put a 32MB SD card in it. I had filled it almost all the way up…
I got a Nexus 4 with 16GB total, and I only put the stuff I use on it. I still have 7GB free…

I don’t use an external USB battery, but I was going to post pretty much what you did. If you have a removable battery, you would have to carry the extra battery with you anyway…
People that demand removable batteries don’t seem to understand that there are very easy and simple alternatives…
I charge my Nexus 4 every night, and if I’m using it extra heavy, and the battery starts to get low, I just charge it at my desk at work, or in my car. I’ve never had my battery run out on me.
