Not really "leap of faith" in my case. My previous phone (Desire HD) was using a 16GB External MicroSD Card (HTC loves to create small internal memory, mine was 1GB only).

To be frank, my microSD almost never exceed 50% of the overall capacity. UNLESS I just copy+paste every .mkv inside and surely it'll go boom.

But it really depends on personal usage tho, as I only copy a few of my favourite albums, and some episodes of anime/drama/running man to watch on-the-go and delete them after watching/when copying new episodes.

Addon: Oh and if you want to try out Android system, trust me/us and go with Nexus.. anyone who had experienced with their ex-flagship devices which the manufacturer decides to stop providing support/updates.. it's really heartbroken and sad p/s: desire hd

u can do the math by urself by considering what u want and necessary things to install.
if after calculation the 16GB is not enough then u need to sacrifice something. well, some sacrifice is necessary to achieve greatest satisfaction. laugh.gif

True enough. I've begin to realise that I'm using my current phone more for internet and less for gaming and etc. Or maybe I'm just not into gaming anymore. Perhaps, listening to music takes the second spot after internet surfing.

But hey, thanks for sharing your experience! biggrin.gif

YEP, it is grainy. But the main and strong selling point of the nexus lines isn't really the camera.
maybe a software update in the future will solve it ?

Can't see any material description, but from the picture, I assume it's a TPU case with glossy front right?

Noticed that too, when I was trying out the front camera.

But then coming from my DHD which didn't even have a front camera, I'm grateful laugh.gif

hello, am i the only one thinking that nexus 4 price in M'sia is more expensive compare to other euro country?

N4 is in one of my consideration.. but kinda worry about the build-in battery, if touchwood batter not ok then hard to replace as usual phone. No external sd memory card is also one of the con for me.

How u guys say?

Buy s3 or gn2 better. Now also with jb and a lot of new features plus replaceable battery and ext memory.

But if u really want n4 , just buy it and never regret with what you done.

do you have a big music library? I have moved mine to the cloud. i only use the itunes to manage the files that i keep locally on the PC. 20GB of songs, all in the cloud. that is one way to save your precious storage. actually, it'll be better if you can tell us the breakdown of your iphone usage. what are the main things that take the biggest space in your phone?

regarding storage, refer my post above about moving to cloud. you'll get a better answer if you were to describe your current storage breakdown in your current phone. what are your main use of those storage? apps, games music videos etc? how much storage have you used up now?

. regarding the price, which price are you comparing with? play store or brick retail shop?

see, this whole pricing shebang is not that simple. we can all argue that play store is cheaper. thing is when you check the serial number and decode your IMEI using the site posted at XDA you'll see different order code by different companies of different countries. now why is that?

firstly, Google is not the sole distributor of Nexus 4. we have various distribution channels for Nexus as per the different order code.

play store channel - Google's intention is to make the device as affordable as possible because their main revenue is not from selling our beloved Nexus 4, it is from the potential revenue from those apps, movies, musics that people purchase with the Nexus 4. not to forget ads too. El Goog makes money from consumption.

other channel(telco like Digi, media markt in Germany, retail stores, distributors etc) - their main revenue is from selling those hardware itself. and they are not getting their stock from Google, they are ordering them directly from LG HQ( wherever that is. hence the different order code). they won't make money from those media consumption like Google, they will definitely sell the Nexus 4 at a higher price than the Play Store because that is the only they are going to make money.

now, we don't have a play store in our country yet, so we are under the other distribution channel. we won't be getting play store's price.

decoding the local IMEI also show a MYS tag and MALAYSIA tag AMYSBK tag instead of the usual play store tag.

but, we do have a choice. you can either purchase a local set with full local warranty or AP set with AP warranty, or import from a country that has play store for Nexus 4 at a cheaper price, but you have to handle all the warranty matters from those countries too (LG does not provide international warranty)

p/s: 1. all these are just from my understanding on how these different companies make their money. it is the likeliest explanation that i could think of.

2. please excuse my grammatical mistakes in this post. I will clean it up tomorrow or whenever i am free.
