LG E960/Nexus 4?

[cgk]

Picked up a nexus 4 for my partner who was swapping from a blackberry - for the money it's a beast of a phone, I was looking at another windows phone but is the windows phone really £230 better than the nexus? doubtful.

No, it is not! With nexus you will get at least two years of love from Google in form of support and OS upgrade, and tons of hacks from community. New Win8 devices look nice, but Nexus, my friend, is away to go.

It's funny, I've always held to the idea that Android is too complex for 'normal' people but my other half has taken to it with no problems, she just got on with it - the more I play with it, the more I struggle to find a reason to pay double the money for the same functionality - even if i don't buy this nexus and string my lumia 800 a bit longer, I suspect I'll get whatever the next nexus phone is.

jelly bean is really pleasant to use. I notice the hspa and 3g lights up in places where the pre3 doesn't on T-Mobile.

Yeah, it is good enough. Nowhere near WebOS usability-wise, but ok.
I hate Adobe cancelling Flash support for Jellybean. Makes me feel like a bl**dy i-crap user. Oh, and I already miss my hardware keyboard after typing with the software keyboard on the GS3.
But apart from that, yep, I like Jellybean. Widgets are cool

I find that there is a striking resemblance between the Nexus 4 and the leaked WindsorNot device.

So what does that change for me being a Jellybean user? Nothing. Where does it leave me as a Jellybean user? No where, except making me feel like an iOS user.
So maybe you are correcting me to show off or something, I wouldn't know. It is neither helpful nor any "new" information.

Helpful would have been the info that there are still ways to get Flash on Jellybean devices, just no reliable ones and flash might probably be unstable.
Here. Enough "facts" for you?

Just got my nexus 4. After my pres 1, 2 and 3 it's quite a shock.

Pluses: Amazing screen, super-fast, good build quality, lots of apps, doesn't get bogged-down with memory leaks and freezes

Minuses: No properly working bluetooth MAP profile so can't SMS from my touchpad (I find this astonishing), no wireless charging orb yet, miss the gestures and the recent-apps view is a pale shadow of stacked cards.

All in all? Two steps forward, one step back. Between the two platforms everything is covered, but each on its own is still missing things.

I agree completely. If we had a magic wand I think it would be interesting to serve up android candy in a webOS wrapper. Let matias bless it and have core apps that follow the webos/enyo design language and give people a good example to follow. That would knock people's socks off... And I think would solve a lot of the problems people have with android.
