My next phone will be a Nexus 4

I've finally decided to go with the Nexus 4, 16 Gb unlocked phone, now I just have to wait 2 weeks to get one(they are that much in demand). You will find the  best price is through Google Play. While they offer an 8gb  with a price of $300, it's best to avoid and jump to the 16gb for $349 from all I have read. Even though I like the I-Phone my son has and other family members I-Phones,  I decided my freedom from a 2 year contract,  out weighs any advantage the IPhone-5  may have over the  Nexus 4. There are certainly  a lot of things I can buy for the money I will be saving on monthly data plans alone. The cost to buy an unlocked I-Phone 5 is a little more than I wish to pay. Just like the review in the video mentions, there might be some tradeoff, however overall the Nexus 4 is a "deal". I had considered a Samsung 3, but the cost for "unlocked" approached IPhone's "unlocked" prices. My upcoming travel plans make the Nexus 4 even more enticing. I have multi carriers I can use now, since all I have to do is pop in a sim card. Presently I'm leaning toward "Straight Talk" using a Verizon carrier or "Straight Talk" with an AT&T carrier. I may even try  Boost for a month, Sprint for a month and Virgin Mobile. That is the beauty of owning an "unlocked phone", you can experiment with them all and decide for yourself which one works best for you.
* The video below mentioned no LTE however there is another video on YouTube which shows you how you can easily enable LTE on the Nexus 4 with a few clicks.
