Yup, the S3 is slightly bigger. First thing I did when I had mine was compare it to my buddies S3. I was surprised since it doesn't look that big, but is just under it.
So how's everyone been enjoying their Nexus phones?
I've been playing around with a lot of customizations, like with minimalistic text and such. Seems like everyday I find something new with this phone.
I recent re-installed tablet talk, so my text messages can be answered and read on my Nexus 7 tablet. Seems a lot smoother, compared to when I was syncing between my HTC and the Nexus 7.
I'm really growing into the size and form factor, haven't customized it much or loaded much, but works great for what I use it for. Battery life has evened out that I'm ok with it, still playing with the brightness to find the lowest I can use and still like it, screen is by far my biggest battery consumer.
For those with a Nexus 7 that seems to be dead, just had to do this to mine:
The form factor is great. I went back to try my nexus s or held an iPhone in my hand and they felt like toys. With 4.2.2 Google improved the area you had to touch to go back in the top left. So instead if just hitting back in your texts you now can hit back and the entire name. Ditto for emails etc. That improved some of the thumb reaching issues I had.
Loving the phone though, not surprising. It's a shame I put a cover on it cause it's beautiful too. The camera isn't too great, maybe average but battery life hasn't been an issue, I've always been good with battery management.
On the previous page I posted some screen shots of custom home pages, using the minimalistic text app. You may have seen how the bar code indicator was a bit "fat."
Here is a video showing how to get the "slim" version of it.
Changed the orientation to bottom / middle, to bring the battery barcode lower, and changed the weather icon to the Batman (Dark Knight) theme (Beautiful weather widget).
I'm still not confident enough to use a custom loader. So the icons at the bottom and Google search bar stay for now.
Yeah, I'm not getting one either, a little pricey with shipping factored in. I'd like one for my desk cause it's neat but like you I'm just plugging it in on average between 1.5 times a day, not needed.
It's cool though. If it was around 40 I'd pick one up just cause.
So when are they actually going to start releasing accessories for my Nexus 10? I love, love, love this tablet, but am mildly annoyed at not being able to buy any goodies for it.

Aaahhhh! I'm really ticked off at myself right now.
Earlier today I placed my Nexus 4 down (back side down) on my bathroom counter. As I went to pick it up I could hear this scrapping sound. Flip over the phone: scratch (maybe crack) going from side to side, width wise, along the glass. I have no idea what caused it. Looking at my counter and feeling with my fingers...no idea. Was weird.
Anyway, just bugs me that I have this scratch/crack now. I'll take a pic later and post it.
I stopped using the bumper because I thought I was careful enough. Who knew?
Anyone know of any places in Calgary that can replace or repair the back glass?
