Any chance of a Nexus 3 for people who don't want a tablet in their pocket?
Honestly, I recommend the HTC First. I have one, it's the perfect size, 720p screen, solid specs. You can get one for a song these days and FB home turns off with a couple taps. You probably won't get 4.4, though...

The ppi race is the new megapixel race. Who needs pixel perfection 200 ppi beyond what the human eye can perceive? No one. But the show must go on.
Just because you can't perceive individual pixels doesn't mean you can't perceive higher quality. Imagine if you wanted to draw a human hair to scale, you would need some small pixels to make that look good. However in most smartphone use cases, that's probably not an issue.
my friend working at Samsung, tells me internal joke, that there must be a very well paid guy at Google HQ whos sole responsibility is to figure out how to cripple Nexus devices (micro SD slot, battery) and distribution (limited rollout to only bunch of countries) in order to NOT alienate other Android manufacturers.
If Nexus 4 is any indication, they will be available in other countries pretty soon as well, just not directly from Google, and they will be sold as LG Nexus 5, not Google Nexus 5.

I am currently on this plan (on a Nexus 4), and it works quite well for me. There's also a 100 minutes talk time limit on the plan, with 10C per minute for extra talk time.
Hmm looking at my recent statements, I'm always between like 150 and 375 minutes, so even with the 10c per minute extra, I'd never be looking at more than $60/month at worst. I'm assuming nights and weekends still don't count as minutes on this plan?

> limited rollout to only bunch of countries Nokia used the same trick with their N9 phone.

It's insane that this phone has a better screen than a great deal of laptops for sale these days. The laptop manufacturers need to get with the program :-/
Forget laptops; this is where most desktop displays top out! It's ridiculous that some manufacturers literally sell 27" displays with the same number of pixels as this phone's 5" screen.

I thought Canada was still in love with blackberry. It makes me wonder if this is some sort of marketing ploy microsoft tried with the surface having lines and being sold out.
Was the Canadian populace ever in love with Blackberry?
As an African/Nigerian I am not even allowed to see what it looks like. Talk less of trying to make a purchase [1]. Last Night, I had to lie that I am in the US so I would be allowed to by Remote by 37Signals on my kindle. Quite ridiculous and annoying. http://imgur.com/eS8agor
That's how it looks for everyone outside the US.
