AnonD-6855, 15 May 2013Bad idea Well other things in the above advert seem ok given d trend of things, except for the 16GB. This is 2013 for God's sake! How can ANY company still proudly advertise 16GB internal memory as a flagship feature?? We ought to have had 128GB phones by now! There's been no real progress in the mobile world 4 several years now! Oh wait, there's ac2ly been a lot of "progress" - we're gettng "phones" d size of mini laptops alrdy n they keep gettn better n better (bigger n bigger)! ROFLMAO! Hey Google n Gang, u guys r seriously starting 2 bore! And Google what wonderful 1 button headphones Android still has, it'd make my good old feature phones proud! Lol!

That's better. The Nexus 4 was hopeless.
It's much more expensive though. A decent spec'd Nexus mini with a sub $200 price tag would be a great compliment to this.
Nexus 3, 4, 5, 7 and 10 would be a cool Google line up.

There you go. Samsung is all for their TW thingy, it looks stupid and ugly to kids, but it's the most efficient framework so far, better than Sense 5.
Now there went Google, the stupidest decision they have ever made. Really stock Android? Nonsense.
Just wait a quarter, and see how many S4 sells, with TW and without it. After all whatever whoever might say, it's ultimately the number that matters.

The best smartphone to date just became a new Nexus, brilliant stuff by Samsung and Google. R.I.P Xperia Z, Htc One, LG Optimus G Pro and every other 2013 flagship that tries to challenge this beast. :)
