Do you know what the policy is on Sprint for when you can cancel service if you're not happy? I know AT&T is 30 days.

Xda and Facebook usually will not make you go over the 100mbs per day. If you use the xda app instead of the web it is better. You just have to use the built in data manager on the Nexus to keep track. Once you get an idea of what you are using you can gauge it better. You can limit your overall usage and watch your per day usage. Like said above streaming music and video will eat your data very quickly...but some people are doing it anyways by leaving proxy field blank in apn settings.

Ok so now the only thing holding me back is the camera and stock android. I've never used stock before lol. Always an overlay. I also don't take that many pictures but I do take some. When I do take them I want them to come out good.

Their starting price for a family plan is 130$ which right now I'm paying 230$ for sprint... and .20mbps of their poop 3G. Hoping to get better signal at least and save some money at the same time. Don't even use 1gb of data over a month so... 2GB isn't bad... and would take occasional throllting than unlimited poop.

1. Sprint sucks.

2. T-Mobile is ok, in an anal-retentive sort of way. No complaints.

3. The gnex camera is acceptable for outdoor shots. It's fast between snaps. It sucks for indoor/low-light shots.

4. The LTE gnex is a battery hog, unlike the GSM gnex.

5. You can use a GSM gnex anywhere in the world.

6. You're free from contracts with a GSM gnex.

7. You get official Google updates first on a GSM gnex, and it's about the best-supported developer phone.

8. Apple hates and fears it, a good thing.

9. There is no better value in smartphones than a GSM gnex for $349 contract-free.

10. No, I don't work for Google or Samsung. Just love my gnex.

11. It's really hard to brick a gnex. Even I haven't done it yet.

If you want the latest and greatest hardware, the SIII is the one, buy IMO it's not worth the extra cost.

I'd also vote for the unlocked GSM version from Google Play. In addition to all of the other positives (many of which are noted above), the paramount consideration for me was the fact that CDMA phones are virtually useless if traveling internationally. With the GN, upon arriving at a foreign airport, I can typically easily find a local wireless carrier storefront, pick up a SIM with a pre-paid voice/data plan, pop it into the GN, and then use the phone to my heart's content. Not only does the GN provide a means for dialing locally, but it eliminates any need to pay ridiculous per-minute or per-MB WiFi fees at hotels thanks to its hotspot feature.

Here is a picture I took at dusk inside my girls car. I had to take a picture of this soda bottle, because I hadn't seen Faygo soda around in a while. It's actually not a bad picture, but I have had them come out worse than this before. I would say its a mid range camera, better than say the camera on the Droid Razr.

AOSP is a little boring at times but it is good for performance and customizing.
