have spent $1000 on a phone before. Was great phone but compared to the Galaxy Nexus I got for $500 it wasn't worth it.

I have a mate who hates capacitive hw buttons.
Back in my day (HTC magic) they were cool.
But Android has come a long way since then.
I'd probably be inclined to agree these days.

I fucking hate soft buttons. I want them separate from the screen.

Also, I cracked the reverse glass on my Nexus 4. Accidentally dropped the keys on it.

Well they're part of the Android specification now, and they're a lot more flexible.

You cracked the glass on your nexus by dropping keys on to it?

I dropped my Nokia N8 on the 22nd Feb 2011 at 12:51.........

Yeah. The backing is covered by a very thin glass panel. I dropped my keys on it from a very small height (phone was on bed, dropped keys onto phone from relaxed hand height). It may not have broken if the keys landed anywhere else than where it did; right at the opening for the speaker.

The biggest issue with the Nexus 4 is that it's smooth. TOO smooth. The hyper polished front and back means the phone slides around like water on a hydrophobic surface.

To be honest, I'd love a Note II.
