Yes, I swapped my crappy Evo 4G LTE for an Galaxy Nexus a year ago on Craigslist, and I had Asurion send me a new Galaxy Nexus last week after it stopped working. It cost me $150 plus the $10 I paid per month for a whole year, bringing the total to $270. Not worth it, in my opinion, but It would make sense for a more expensive phone in the short run.

If the Nexus 5 does not come out on Sprint, I will wait until my contract expires and go to T-Mobile. I love my Galaxy Nexus, I love the ease at which I can remove bloat and streamline the UI, and I love the developer community and support. I shudder when contemplating the over-complex features and UI of Touchwiz, Sense, etc. I must have Android in its purest form!!!

Alleged Nexus 5 has disappointing benchmark: http://thedroidguy.com/2013/09/nexus-5-spotted-antutu-database-surprisingly-low-score-hoax-real-deal/

My aging Galaxy Nexus has 32GB internal memory, so I feel that should be the minimum! lol

Nexus 5 benchmark spotted! http://www.ubergizmo.com/2013/09/nexus-5-benchmark-spotted/

Probably didn't realize that we all saw it within an hour of its posting, lol.

Yeah, they had some experimental builds on the old Galaxy Nexus, but it was buggy as hell and all the apps were unfinished.

Not side by side, but I wrote down the signal strength and location of 3G and LTE on my Evo, then when I traded for the Galaxy Nexus, I compared it to my notes. Blew the frickin' doors off the Evo! Just for an example, I took the bus and train 45 miles to trade for the Nexus, and on the Evo, I got LTE 0 times. On the way back with the Nexus, I got LTE over a dozen times. Stock rooted on both the Evo and the Nexus, not custom ROMs. Edit: Thought I should post a link relevant to the Nexus 5, being that's what this thread is for: http://www.phonesreview.co.uk/2013/09/22/nexus-5-and-ubuntu-connection/

I wonder how this would work with the Mega: http://shop.flygrip.com/

Well, it is being manufactured there, so it stands to reason that would be the primary source of leaks.

Has anyone on Sprint unlocked their bootloader via Motorola? https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a

The Evo 4G LTE was my last HTC device. The LTE radio was garbage, and wouldn't pick up even when I stood underneath the tower. Traded it to some kid on craigslist for an older Galaxy Nexus, which I'm still using, and picks up LTE just fine.

I have had 3 HTC phones and 3 Samsung phones, honestly its a bit easier to hit the side button with my thumb than the top button with my index finger, but it's not a big deal.

HTC One Max rooted, fingerprint sensor proves accurate, camera features leak! http://www.phonearena.com/news/HTC-One-Max-rooted-fingerprint-sensor-proves-accurate-camera-features-leak_id47614#3-

I hope we see a tri-band version of this phone soon. Sprint is upgrading the towers in my neck of the woods this week.

I was interested in this device to replace my aging Galaxy Nexus, however people have been reporting on XDA that there is a screen brightness bug that dims the screen 50%. Supposedly the phone dims the screen to prevent overheating, although some have ran temperature benchmarks and found no anomalies. I am definately an AMOLED guy, so I will hold out for a device that meets my needs: Dual-core (I don't game or do any heavy multi-tasking, so I prefer a CPU that sips battery juice, and not guzzles it) Tri-band LTE (for obvious reasons) 5"-6" AMOLED screen (I prefer 720p for the text size, but I can manage with 1080p if need be) The Moto X has all the right specs, except for the tri-band LTE, what a bummer.

I didn't draw any conclusions, I am just making some educated guesses based on the small amount of intel at hand. I made the comment about connecting to Google Services after reading comments in another forum that said the phone wasn't connecting to Google Services because the network icon was white, so some people missed the few frames in the beginning that showed otherwise. You can also see the roaming icon in the videos, but what that means, if anything, is beyond me.

The larger the battery, the more efficiently the device draws current under load. If you swap out a 2000mAh battery with a 4000mAh battery, you will see more than twice the battery life. The same is if you swap out that 2000mAh battery with a 1000mAh battery: you will get substantially less than half the battery time.

The real gas guzzler is the 5", IPS, backlit LCD panel running at 1080 x 1920. Ain't so software that can reduce that power consumption!

In the leaked video of the Nexus 5, you briefly see that the phone is indeed connected to Google Services, before the bartender starts messing with the lockscreen. Also, it looks like the non-removable battery will be sub-par, as the device has (I think) 2% remaining and obviously needs to be charged. Not sure if its 4:30am or 4:30pm, but if its 4:30am then that's an extra 12 hours of battery life (assuming the device was not charging intermittently throughout the day. In any case, the engineer is an alcoholic (if it's 4:30pm he left work early to start drinking, and if its 4:30am he's been drinking all night long, lol).

The physical panel will be 1080 x 1920, but then you subtract I think 144 for the nav bar and status bar (usable space will be 1080 x 1776). It reports the full resolution to apps however.

More like an inflated Nokia Lumia 1020 with the grip-charger:
