1338812 2013-04-30 18:01:00 Yeah, pretty much, Google stopped me importing them :p

Honestly go check out the differences between the two at your local Warehouse Stationary / 2Degrees store. Just keep in mind smartphones with glass screens don't like being dropped as much as the old Nokias, no matter which brand / OS. My old Nokia 3315 was almost indestructible. Those were the days :D
Gorilla Glass goes a long way towards helping but even it isn't perfect.

1338813 2013-04-30 20:52:00 If you're going to spend ~$600.00 on a phone - why not go the $99.00 further and get the Nexus 4 like I'll be spending today? Well worth it considering I bought the iPhone 3 (no S just the 3) for ~$1100.00 a few *months* after it came out! I bought the Galaxy S (No numbers just the S) for the same price as the Nexus 4 = Money WELL spent! lordnoddy (3645)
1338814 2013-04-30 21:37:00 Yeah well you can get the for $600 from TradeMe sometimes if you snag one at the right time. Importing takes a bit but you can get them for $550 direct from Google US.

Amazing phone at a fantastic price. There's a good reason why everybody is raving about them ;-)

I'm once again the proud owner of a Nexus 4 for the decent price of $629.10 thanks to NL being $699.99 and WS beating it by %10! Charing tonight!!! Yay communication with the outside / world wide web again :D

EDIT: Little bit of a miss calculation from the WS staff but hey who's arguing over 90c right!

Just Hawaii, short holiday. Can't say I was super impressed by it, personally NZ seems to have it better. Hell I'd take Fiji over Hawaii any day of the week!

I'd say most people would use chrome. I've used both, chrome is better than the old android browser imo.
