Haha then what about Samseng S3? Also using android.
I've check the Nexus 4 camera capability and well it's quite a disappointment compared to other flagship phones, but then Nexus 4 was made to shine on the google experience rather than a camera lol biggrin.gif

The nexus 4 camera is actually quite good.  As I've posted before, there is a technique.  When you start training the lens on the subject matter, there is a circle focus point visible on the screen.  Inside this circle focus points, there are two markers, one top and one bottom.  Snap the picture when the markers inside the circle turns green, that's when the software detects the best picture setup.

The markers will turn for about 2 secs after which it will default to white and you will need to focus again.  With this technique, your pictures will turn up nice, and crisp and with a natural warm contrast.  If you are used to the vivid blue hues and exaggerated contrast of the S3 amoled screen, then obviously you will be disappointed.

I see. I haven't got my hands on the N4, will use this technique to assess. smile.gif

Actually it's pretty decent for a camera phone.
But Lumia 920 is definitely better. However, it's running Windows Phone.

They are TRYING TO organize a midnight launch pending DiGi's consent. If DiGi wants to steal that thunder from them, they cant do anything other than launching at the same time DiGi does, which means opening business hour at 10am on the 14th. Nothing is concrete now, they're still planning.

Either way you'll still get yours on the 14th. Please be a little bit more patient. It's just a few more days.

I just don't understand why devices like Google Nexus 4 that are meant to be free of any carrier's craps were given exclusive rights to Digi. They should have given it to an authorized distributor (in this case, perhaps hotspot) and customers will be given choice of carrier to choose from.

(Considering Digi's offer is as shit as it gets, only RM 200 off).

I agree on the free of the carrier part.That's part of the Google's envision when they released Nexus 4.It's also another reason why they wanted the new Nexus devices to be cheaper than regular high end Android devices.

However the price difference & distribution right differs in countries due to the LG's main distribution right.In countries who have proper Google play support where they can buy Google hardware the price for Nexus 4 is cheaper because Google will subsidize the price.In other countries like Malaysia where the distribution done by LG, the price is higher because LG selling it for unsubsidized price & trying to gain some profit.Also the deal with the carrier was done probably because DiGi offered a high price for the distribution rights.

Well to be honest with you I have no problem paying RM 1,649 for Nexus 4 with LG Malaysia warranty. Price is not the problem here, main concern is just the warranty. What I don't like is how Digi is taking its own sweet time in managing the launching of this great phone. We have rumors of this phone launching way back to December and suddenly it was postponed to January because Digi is slow in doing its estimation (or paperwork). Now we even have to get their permission for a midnight launch. Waiting is torturing enough. I bet many bought Nexus 4 here from hotspot so they can escape the pathetic Digi's network.

The exclusive shit shouldn't have been done at the first place. At least make it right if they want to do it.

I never deal with LG service center before & I hope I never have to.
The price of RRP & DiGi's price is not much different.Better for everyone to just buy it ouright rather than getting stuck with 2 years contract.If Nexus contract is similar to iPhone contract I don't mind singing up for it.

Hey,I'm using DiGiĀ  laugh.gif .They offered decent package of RM10 (Family Plan) + RM28 (1GB Data Plan).Apparently they give me cheaper price for being a "loyal" customer.Been a DiGi user for 5 1/2 years.Got used to the dropped call & sub standard 3G.

I have my own experiences dealing with LG service center. I don't know if they have changed or not since my last LG phones was years ago but they would not entertain you if the warranty's period is over. Maybe things have changed but it's better than dealing with AP sets. You get a fair share of headache if the shop refuse to honor the warranty.

About Digi network, hmm, I have my doubts. I've port to Digi from Maxis and it was one of my biggest regret. I don't mind paying more for a better quality calls especially if it's tied to your rice bowl. Then again, they probably have the best support system. smile.gif

P/s: You can always sign up for Maxis iPhone contract and sell the iPhone. Then you use the subsidy from profit of selling the iPhone for your Nexus 4. You approximately saved RM 700 from iPhone deal, transfer it to your Nexus 4 and you get a better deal. nod.gif Have your family members changed to Maxis and you'll have problem wasting 1000 minutes and 1000 sms.

I've thought about that but the thought getting tied to a substandard network for 2 years made me rethink my plan.
My sister is a DiGi user also.She used have a lot of dropped calls issue.Made her missed some important calls about her patients status.But DiGi improved service in her area which decreased the dropped calls.I'm planning to just wait & see what DiGi planning to do regarding their quality of service.

Kinda hoping that DiGi will support HSPA+ since Nexus 4 support HSPA+.

I mean Maxis iPhone deals, not Digi's. biggrin.gif

DiGi seems to be skipping HSPA+ and go directly to LTE doh.gif

The 2600 Mhz LTE? Seems like many phones cannot support LTE at this band yet.

The technology won't mature so fast. I see Maxis only deploy LTE so far for wireless broadband customer.
Even iPhone 5 also cannot use our LTE. biggrin.gif
