Good: Screen, Processing, 3g Speed, Android
Bad: so slippery, no sd slot
Comment: Ok, I have had my Nexus 4 for some months now, one of the first successful purchasers from Play store. Before that I had a Galaxy S2, and Lumia 800 concurrently. The Nexus 4 is a fabulous smartphone in many respects, it is super fast, with a great screen which allows operation of desktop websites without too much hassle, of course my S2 could do this too but not so well. All the good points are well known so here are the bads from my perspective:
It’s a bar of soap to hold or even put down, expect to drop it.
The lack of an sd slot is a real pain. I know I can move things on and off and it’s easy from my NAS over home network, but I would have an SD slot please!!
The screen size makes this as big as I want a phone to get, no bigger!! I do hope that we will get top hardware in this form factor in future, and not be forced ever bigger to get. No more rip-off devices like S3 mini, which isn’t even a match for my old S2.
That’s about it, been using smartphones since my Orange SPVC600 and finally had my say!

Good: Excellent speed, excellent screen, very good camera, very good sound
Bad: Cannot expand memory. Cannot connect to HDMI
Comment: I love it, after two months. The lack of storage capacity (16Gb in mine) is not really an issue, as everything I do is synced to Sugarsync. I also have a Nexus 7 (love that, too), an Airbook as well as my desktop (I know, I know), and they all communicate seamlessly.
The Nexus 4 is a great device, and I strongly recommend it
