If I was on T-Mobile I would get this phone, $350 off contract isn't a bad deal.

[Tx Redneck]

It'll work on all gsm carriers.

Yeah the $299/350 prices off contract really got my attention BUT there is no way Im throwing out that kind of money and not have LTE. I still cant believe Google put out their flagship phone without LTE after bashing Apple and saying they HAD to have LTE on the iPhone 5.

Not to mention, Im with ya B, LG??!! I have an LG now and its a piece of crap, although the hardware is solid, its LG's gingerbread UI. Damn thing loses time and I can never trust the clock on it. Just one of many bugs after updating.

If it had LTE it would have to go though the carriers(at&t, verizon, sprint), something google didnt want to do. its a nexus, so no LG UI. maybe later they will make it with LTE but i'm sure on contract.

Thats completely false, they could put LTE radios in them without needing to go through the carriers. Per Google's Andy Rubin, they didnt put LTE radios in them because of battery life. Yet, every other new phone can get away with it.

Also, I know LG's UI wont be on it, its a Nexus so it gets the most current vanilla version of Android. I was just saying my LG Thrill suffers from LG's UI.

They could have put LTE radio in that was compatible with At&t, T-Mo (upcoming), and Verizon, but they decided not to.

Sprint is the only one of the big 4 who has lte radio operating at a different range.

Also, no battery pull. Fuck that noise on a developer phone.

lte = $600 dollar price tag basically

lg ui is moot its a google phone, you aren't getting none of that shit.

no sd card is lame though, 16gb isn't enough on my sgs3. and my external sd is close to being full (music).

I have an HTC Evo 4G LTE, aka Evo 3G.

I guess that discount pays for patience...

Agree 100%

This device is worthless to me, Vz unlimited 4G LTE data user.
