Im giving in and buying an iPhone for professional use however i will still be sporting my Android Tablet everywhere i go.
However everywhere i look the prices for iPhones are MONSTROUS! any one know the best place to pick one up without contract?
P.S. I live in France. Contract prices here are crazy for iPhones.
For less than an iPhone, you could buy a top-end Android phone. Why are you considering only iOS? Does iOS has something that you need that no one else has?
I already have a galaxy tab so its pointless buying an android phone as its the salme thing (same apps) i've always been a bit of an all rounder and expermient with everything.
Ive got a macbook, windows computer, android tablet, and blackberry phone at the moment but i would like to start experimenting with the iPhone and Jailbreak.

he iPhone is a pretty great device considering its developmenta and vast amount of users. When jailbrokwn it becomes a very powerful device but Android has more of a friendly experience compared to the iPhone. But if u wouldhaveto choose on a professional note id go with the iPhone its more operational and have a alot of business oriented apps. Don't get me wrongi loveandroid and wmo but the iPhone has more to offer at the moment.

It's development is tiny compared to Android. iOS 5 is touted to contain every feature available in Android 2.2 and nothing more. Stay away from apple and get some technologically advanced stuff.
I am thinking about what can i say regarding the iphone, but only occurs me one thing: LOL!
As the guy 2 posts above me said try looking in ebay
Or amazon or you can try craiglist or something like that
I'll trade my iphone for your macbook??
My iphone comes with a special cover that makes the iphone
practically invisible!!!
Thanks for your replys guys, Im closing in on a cheap one through my dad's company.
Wait for the iPhone 5 it shouls be out in a few months that way you can get a cheaper iPhone 4

I think a little perspective helps with the new Nexus 4, and this is the amazing low price of $299/$349. Sure it is lacking features like 4G/LTE and 32GB storage, I agree those would be nice.
But what other brand new smartphone can you buy, off contract, not subsidized, for $349 ? None that I know of. Other popular smartphones, going full retail out of contract like the iPhone5...Galaxy S3...Note II...One X+ are all selling for $600 - $700, twice the price of the Nexus 4.
Are these others phones, twice as good as the Nexus 4 ? No way. Sure they do offer 4G and larger storage which is nice, but is it worth paying double that of the N 4 ?
That's why I returned my quad core HTC One X. the Nexus 4 seems more worth it. i'm going to miss the white and the front of my HTC. but going to like the back of the N4
Why not just make this post in this thread ->
Official: Nexus 4 starting at $299 - Nov 13
..or in one of the existing review threads?
Closed
What made you choose this device instead of others? Will you select your next smartphone based on the same criteria or do you care more about some other spec?

The reason I chose my N4 was that it was a nexus device with awesome specs and a great price... U can't get a better bang for the buck phone.
My next phone has to be top end in specs and also at a good price point compared to the competition... Idk of it'll be N5 or X phone but I don't think I'll get rid of my N4 regardless

Clean android, photosphere and updates. Hardware whatever, I dont feel any big performance difference when using s3, note 2, s4, nexus 4 etc ...

Mainly the specs and price, similar specs unlocked cost 600$+
Also I had a Galaxy ****phone with 2010 specs

pure google experience and match it with my nexus 7. both have nexus logo at the back. i like my stuff in-sync. haha. also, apps are designed mainly to match the stock look, so having the dev phone is awesome. less problem thinking on why this app not working/supported cuz dev use nexus mainly.
plus its cheap. and design rocks!
I needed some more performance since my HTC Incredible S got a bit slow with only one core. I didn't want to spend 200 € more for a branded interface that I would replace with another ROM anyway. With the N4 I have great performance, solid quality and a clean ANdroid which I don't have to replace keeping my warranty.
Just ordered a black N4 (don't get the white phone craze). My faithful Nexus S no longer meets my needs. My main reasons for the 4 are:
Unlocked
A Nexus device, so hopefully will have current updates for a while
Good price, extra features of S4 not important to me, especially for almost twice the cost
Only thing I don't like is the screen size. 4" screen perfect for me, kept holding out for a top end 4.3" android. And yes, I've used bigger phones. After I saw the S4 mini specs I gave up, guess I'll get used to it. Anyhow, given I wear reading glasses now its probably a good thing?

Price and just how rubbish Sony were at supporting the Xperia S threw me over the edge.
Former Verizon user. Saw the price of the N4. Knew I'd make my money back within 4 months after switching to T-Mobile. Broken contract. Win.
I came from the LG G2X and all I wanted was a damn OS update. With the only update the G2X ever received being a whopping 2.3 to 2.4 I decided I'd stay away from non nexus devices the best I could. The build quality from LG is pretty nice, good balance between appearance and hand feel so I never once questioned that the N4 would be the perfect phone for me. What do I look for in a phone? Top tier performance and the quickest OS updates.
2gb ram for this awesome price

In this order:
1. Unlocked
2. Nexus
3. Top flight phone for $350, how could you resist?
Loving it on straight talk. I love the phone almost as much as the fact that my bill is half what it was before.
One of my main reasons for choosing the N4 is knowing this phone will get updates for a long time from google but others are:
Build quality.
Price point for a unlocked phone.
Amount of development.
AOSP
Price (seriously, extremely great value)
Customization, Google WANTS you to flash new ROMs and stuff to this device
I'm an aspiring Android developer (currently a .NET developer)
The sleek look
Came from iPhone 4, my only other smartphone I've ever owned. Basically debated whether to get the Nexus 4 or SGS4, thank god I went with Nexus 4. Had to switch from Verizon, but well worth it. No more Verizon red tape to deal with ever again, or any contracts.

If you arent on a contracted plan with T-Mobile, unless you are on the $30 plan with no minutes, consider one of the MNVOs. Im on Straight Talk after trying T-Mobile for a bit and the service is IDENTICAL. However, the bill from unlimited plan to unlimited plan isnt.
Cheap and decent specs. That's all.

This.
After flashing cm7, then cm9 and 10 on my Fascinate, I realized AOSP is how Android phones are supposed to be. I love the clean interface, speed and smoothness and stability. My phone after that was the Gnex, so naturally I upgraded to the next nexus. I know there are AOSP roms on a ton of other phones, but the reliability seems to be perfected on the nexus devices, since they are built for AOSP. Also, there is a huge amount of developer support.
needed something after my N9 and really didn't want to go back to a locked down phone.
I bought the N4 due to the price, pure android and the ability to enable LTE on T-Mobile. I couldn't be happier coming from Sprint. It's a night and day difference.
It's not the Nexus 6, it's me.
I'm very happy with my Nexus 6, but I'm starting to feel that I need some space. Perhaps I need to try seeing other handsets for a while. I must admit to eyeing the 6P lustfully, she'll accept my connector from either side which is handy when you're struggling around in the dark.
My previous handset was a foreign import, you just couldn't find a Motorola Droid 4 in the UK. She was a little slow and the display wasn't the best... but my goodness, those tactile hardware keys... she could teach modern handsets a lot about user input.
So, what handset was your pre-Nex6 relationship with? If you, like me, are also feeling that upgrade itch, what flashy silicon enhanced little beauty currently has your eye?
I love my Nexus 6 and won't go with another phone this year. I will definitely stay with the nexus line. I just tinker way too much with my devices to switch.
This said my earliest switch will be at the next generation nexus, maybe I'll wait another 2 years, let's see. Of course, plans can change if my current n6 breaks or something.
pre: all kinds of samsungs
post: definately a nexus, but not very soon. only on nexus for 2 months now
All my phones are listed in my signature down below. Before N6 i was on N5 and Nexus S before that.
I was quite happy with my N5, but managed to grab N6 quite cheap not long ago, and I love it so far. No plans to change it anytime soon...

So i smashed my Note 3 LCD. Have a new one on the way but gonna get rid of it.
Looking for something different. Hows the nexus 6? I have Verizon, i will be looking into an unlocked one of course.
I have done some looking into on this one. so. I am looking for 6" screen or larger. I used to have a mega, loved it.
just wondering on some of your guys personal insight, rooting and Custom roms.
Thanks Guys!!
Well, you are coming from Samsung, so you don't have an expectation of long-term support. The Nexus 6 is at the end of support.
The 6 is very nice, but rather dated. It will never get official support beyond 7.1.1. Camera isn't great. I plan to use mine for another year, as I don't like the Pixel 2 XL choices.
It all comes down to what price do you pay for it. $200, probably OK. $300 too expensive.
Well im looking to of course keep it under $200.00
and a 6" screen. I like em big.
The ZTE Max pro is big, but not CDMA compatible.
Just something for a couple years.
I did like My Mega, lasted me about 6 years, and 2 screens lol.
I just dont like the feel of it, the back. i know a case.
Nexus 6
I ran a Nexus 5 for a year and a half. I got a refurbished Nexus 6 on eBay for the same price I paid for a Nexus 5. $200, so far my Nexus 6 is a great device even though it is dated. For the specs and developer support that the Nexus 6 has it is well worth running. As all Nexus devices are carrier unlocked getting activation on a device is easy. Paying anymore than $200 on a phone is a waste of money due to the fact that hardware and software upgrade so rapidly. I would recommend the Nexus 6 to anyone that knows how to use it right.
It def a good solid device. And yes over 200.00 for any phone is a waste.

AT&T Nexus 6 devices are locked to AT&T. How many are floating around locked to the carrier is unknown; the Death Star logo was found to be easily removed.
It's a good thing the OP doesn't have Sprint. They are extremely reluctant to the point of xenophobia about adding non-Sprint devices, including the Nexus 6, to their network.
Nope with verizon.
So I decided on a lenovo phablet 2. Found one inline for 159.99
6.4 in screen. Friend has one at work . I was pretty impressed.
But my gfs daughter likes the nexus 6. So I will pick one up for her for xmas.

It was a great phablet once, but I will not lie, It is very dated. My shamu is nearing replacement time, and it's been my favorite phone/phablet I've ever had simply due to the custom ROM/kernel options and ease of rooting/unlocking the bootloader. It's just outright heavy and huge too. TL;DR: I wouldn't buy it now, but would not have second guessed in 2014.
I bought my n6 after cracking my note3 screen... i think it was about 2 years ago.. i still love this phone.. but thinking the next OnePlus 5T or whatever the iteration will be is what i will go after.. though the current oneplus 5 seems pretty nice.. just small screen.. the new pixel 2 xl is alright but $$$ and i fear that devs wont be swarming to it because of the price
