I replied to a similar post from another flister recently - with the suggestion that she consider a Nexus 4. I love my Nexus 4, and given that you can buy one outright for around $250 (the price recently came down a lot, which signals a possible new model, but the current one is brilliant, so I wouldn't fret about that really ( ... )

Thanks for all this info! Sorry it took me so long to reply; I've been in phone-choosing denial for the last month, but now I'm back to thinking about it again.

The Nexus 4 does sound good, and I generally like my Nexus 7, although I'm starting to think I should look for a better e-mail app. I'm so glad you've had experience with both Samsung and the Nexus--the Samsung bloatware horror stories I was seeing really put me off.

Of course, AT&T doesn't offer the Nexus 7, so I need to see what my options would be for actually getting one.... Why does this all have to be so complicated???

Anyway, thanks for the helpful comment! It's great to see you around!

Good luck with it.

And if you do consider the Nexus, you can buy it direct from Google Play, unlocked, and get away from the whole contract thing.

:D

I have an iphone 4s and I don't see any need to change;)

Yeah, I've been quite happy with my 4S. Mostly I'm wondering whether there are reasons I just haven't seen.

I can answer a couple of your questions ( ... )

Thanks for the info, and sorry for the delay in replying--I've been in phone-shopping denial, but I need to get back to it. It's so hard!

I have little useful to contribute, except to say that I also have an Android Nexus (the S) and I love it about as much as I've ever loved anything in my life.

I'm no good for comparisons, since it's the only smartphone I've had, and I have far too deep-seated a prejudice against Mac to have an iPhone.

I've found mine incredibly easy to use, and incredibly easy to rearrange the interface to access the apps etc that I want. I don't think I removed much of anything.

Thanks for the info! And sorry for the late reply--I've been in phone-shopping denial for the last month. I'm sure I'd be happy with an Android, but I'm really wondering whether it's worth the hassle of switching. This is way too complicated.

I've been on Android since 1.5. I have loved it from the beginning, and still do. My current phone is a Samsung S3, now about 1.25 yrs old. I haven't had any issues with it and am still utterly in love with it. I run 3 google accounts on it, as well as 2 Yahoo. Samsung does use some software that is different from some other carriers (my calendar is slightly different, for example) so I TOTALLY recommend if you're considering, playing with a phone in store that has a battery in it. The display phones tend to be locked pretty tightly and you can't play and see how comfortable you are.

If you do go android and have questions, I'm always on and willing to help :D

Thanks for the info! And sorry for the late reply; I've been procrastinating like mad, because I just don't want to deal with the whole phone thing. I'm sure I'd be fine with an Android phone, but I just don't know if it's worth going to the trouble of switching--you're right that I need to go to the store and do some playing.
