1. Gotta love the inherent drunk nature of this posts

    Rubber/plastic bumpers are really worth their price, Kieran. Both my mum and dad have saved their iPhones several times due to a properly placed bumper. They're really worth it!
  2. The official N4 one was always a little pricey I felt. I haven't came across anything else decent though so I suppose I'll have to take the plunge.
  3. I got mine for £7 and also have a back up one from the Phone Shop manager in Tesco as a rep sometimes comes in and hands out freebies.
  4. I came here to ask about the Nexus 4, as I really need a new phone, then read your conversation.

    It costs €349, which is £298 and $482. That includes an official bumper.

    Obviously, the glass back is risky, but as Kieran said, the bumper might save my ass. Other than that, it looks like a nice phone.

    Should I buy it?
  5. You could wait for the Nexus 5 to come out as that has the same good-looking plastic back that the Nexus 7 has.
  6. The Nexus 4 sold out pretty quickly after its release, and I am not sure how long until it is available in Europe. Might be worth waiting, but not sure how long my current phone will survive.
  7. There are rumors that the N4 will remain available after the N5 releases. At least there is some proof that a N4 LTE version will see the light of day.
  8. Hopefully it will keep the used N4 price higher for my sake. Its not playing ball with my wireless charger though. N7 is fine but the 4 only charges intermittently. On for a few seconds then off for a few then on again.
  9. ^ that is said to kill the batteries.
  10. Maybe over an extended period of time but these batteries are fairly resilient nowadays. Plus I rarely own a phone long enough for these issues to become a bother.

    Lumia 710 set up now as my pub phone. Got it for next to nothing.
  11. Send it off to m "for next to nothing" when you grow tired of it I've already grown tired of my Xperia.
  12. Lumia 800 sent to repair center, micro USB connector borked. Cant charge anymore unless I put the charger's connector under stress. Hopefully it will be repaired, changed screen and battery myself in the past.

    So now I am using my N900 as backup, also a slightly borked USB port, but if you dont touch it, it charges. Damn what is the phone slow Didnt remember that!
