Cheapest Deal on Google Nexus 4 in India?

I'm using Poetic Borderline bumper. No such issues for me. I guess it would be fine after a while, or you'll get used to it :smile:

Ok, here's a short review from 2 days of usage.First of all, this screen is gorgeous! Imo it's the closest I've seen to an iPhone or an HTC One C screen. Very crisp and clear. The contrast is not the best though. I would blame the screen calibration for this. The stock calibration doesn't bring out the best colours, but it's still a huge update from the Galaxy Nexus screen. The Gorilla Glass makes swiping really smooth. And compared to the Galaxy Nexus, this glass hardly collects any smudge. I've only had to clean it ONCE till now. Very impressive.In terms of performance, it's again the best I've seen. Stock Android is the main reason for that. App switching has been snappy, and I've hardly encountered lags when using regular apps. I played Jetpack Joyride yesterday and it was really smooth. Can't say much about the battery yet other than that you shouldn't expect much more than an average Android phone. I keep my expectations low, so I'm happy. If there's anything else you'd like me to check, then feel free to ask.

I will add this though: there is absolutely NO reason for you to NOT root this phone and install a custom ROM+kernel as soon as you get this. OTA updates are overrated, and you can get ROMs with the latest Android version within a few days of its release. But the ability to better calibrate your screen, back apps and block ads is far more important. If you get a Nexus, root the device and install Cyanogenmod or AOKP before you even log in to your account. You can thank me for this in the future.

The point is that sticking with stock is quite pointless on a Nexus device.

I don't know whether the CM team was the first to begin the trend of custom ROMs. And even if they did, that doesn't mean that CM is the best.

It's available in a local shop here in Mumbai. 8GB - 26,50016GB - 32,000I know it's not the best deal, not even a good deal, but I felt like sharing it with you guys.

BTW the Galaxy Nexus is also available there for 23,000. I had purchased it from the same shop and had got it for 21,000. Good to see a rise in the price.
