    And, it is 2017... The old Google Now's interface almost tears me up . So clean.
    And now we have those ugly ass rounded iOS wannabe cards .

    It's mid 2014 now and this phone still can keep up with the flagships like the OnePlus One and Galaxy S5.

      @StarK CF I needed a backup phone (which became the main one), so I replaced the screen and flashed Lineage OS 15. Apart from camera, speaker and sometimes the loading speed, it is quite usable.
      Now it is again the backup one, tho.

      @@s_aku The overall speed was a bit painful and battery was as you would guess. It wasn't that bad because of Oreo itself, I doubt that with 10 or so would be any good neither on the N4. The hardware couldn't keep up, the experience was just not good.
      Fun fact: Now, it is running Ubuntu Touch. Just for fun, I guess I wouldn't even use it as a backup phone.

    Your video production quality is good. It looks premium and elegant. I've seen various other reviews and they appear as if someone with a $100 camera have shot them in the backyard but yours looks like someone has spent some time shooting and then editing the video and improving it. good going. keep it up.

    I have to say I really like and want this device, I've had an iPhone 4 since it came out in 2010. The only thing keeping me from jumping the fence is its compatibility with iTunes and its iCloud which keeps everything in sync with my MacBook. Is there any equivalent to iTunes or iCloud for Android devices? Im just plain tired because my iPhone lacks features that my old SideKick ID had (2006) : Notification Lights and ability to customize it OTB (Jailbreaking is not always available UNtethered)

    technically yes. but then the onscreen buttons can be hidden if you're viewing video, i guess. but yeah, they should point out how much screen is left after subtracting the onscreeen buttons.

    it will work, but if you're on ATT's network I felt they were handicapping non contracted service. Could just be my experience though. In general, I believe Tmo would have faster service on stock N4s via HSPA.
