> [@LZ](#): > > With the current insane phone release schedule the Nexus 4 with LTE has to be out in the next 6 months. I wouldnt doubt that we wont see one, I find it hard to believe that for the past 2 years they have been releasing a CDMA version phone (sprint/verizon) then just suddenly only release a GSM phone. Not to mention all the backlash they have been getting for not releasing it with LTE ---

The ipad is nice but it seems like there are few short comings although it more than likely is me. lol One example is trying to fix mispelled words, the damn thing won’t let me put the curser in the middle of a word to fix the spelling! Is there no delete key? I have to go to the end of the word and backspace which seems lame. Thanks for all of the advice guys. I will have to go to the Verizon store and check them out. edit: I have a wireless router at home but I can’t seem to get the ipad to find it. I went to the settings page but there was a bunch of stuff on there I had no clue about.lol ---

As Fry pointed out there are so many good droids on Verizon right now. If I was recommending one of them to someone who just wants to buy and forget I would get the Droid Razr Maxx. Battery can EASILY last 2 days. Galaxy S3 or Droid DNA if you prefer top o’ the line features/specs. Also - Note 2 is like holding an iPad to your face. But it has received good reviews. ---

I enjoy the extra battery life, but i would trade that in for the latest features. Honestly, the extra battery life isn’t even that spectacular Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2 ---

Naw I love this phone, just looking at ways to simplify and save money and even being on the road without a cell phone hasn’t been that bad. There’s something to be said for unplugging.
