I've got the S3 and I have to say the screen is a huge improvement over my old phone which had a 4" screen. The N4 doesn't add anything to give me incentive to upgrade from what I have, in fact I'd lose expandable memory and removable battery. If my contract were now expiring from my 4" screen phone I'd definitely make the jump. But I love the fact that a phone that rivals the S3 (a £500 phone) is available for half its price.

I hope this trend continues, and maybe when my phone feels a little long in the tooth I'll go with the latest iteration of the N4.

Without sounding funny, but the S3 is still a higher spec than the Nexus 4, but thats because the N4 is cheaper (£279 vs £380ish), I think OB had the S2 though IIRC?

Was hoping for the S3 to come down further in price, but it hasn't yet, so purchased the similar LG P880 (which has the expandable memory etc) for around (£280-300)

Still got my eye on the motorola RAZR maxx HD, looks lovely!

Whatever's gone wrong it's not my fault.

Ok, slight surprise is registering on my face at the moment.

My Nexus4 was delivered to me at 7.15am this morning by TNT.    So much for the 4-5 week expected delivery time, it's 48 hours since it was ordered!   Package unwrapping will commence after breakfast!

Package itself is surprisingly small, 0.65kg shipped weight and has just the phone, a micro-USB lead and a SIM-ejection tool enclosed.  I'm already loving the speckled graphite look to the rear of the phone, it gives it a real quality look.  Feels very solid, none of the bend or flex reported in other similar-sized phones.  

Got the phone plugged in to charge the battery for the first time and you can really tell that the screen is going to be gorgeous just from the big battery charging animation that comes up in the middle of the screen.  Will report more once I get this puppy full of volts and properly turned on.

What a great way to start the day! :thumbsup:

My work mate has got a delivery notification, my only question is where is mine :)

First problem, I'd not bothered to order a Micro-SIM from Three yet as I was not expecting the phone for another 4 weeks!   Oh well, a trip into town to the local Three store is called for I guess!

I guess the 4-5 weeks is just so they don't get a mad rush of Christmas orders. Then they'd sell out again and get more bad press.

Been very impressed with mine and I am loving the screen. Speed is superb too.

I THINK you can literally just cut your SIM card down to shape, IIRC there are templates on the net, but I might be wrong

Damn you! Damn you all! I've just had to go for it as what was my fantastic Sony Xperia S has turned into an unstable piece of steaming dung since the latest update. It drops calls randomly, the phone crashes when an incoming call happens and it's really, really winding me up! It's a fantastic piece of hardware, I love the styling and feel of it but the Sony implementation of the software leaves much to be desired. So, it's worth around £125 on mazuma so I'll get a bit of cash back for it.

Let's see how long it takes to get the N4 (says 6-8 weeks at the moment!)

Popped into a Three shop and they gave me a Micro-SIM, no charge.
