"New Nexus 7 leaked with JellyBean 4.3 + 5MP Rear Camera!"

what

it's selling, not leaked

???

[.:FancyPants:.]

earlier i was comparing the samsung note 8.0 (i think) and the new nexus 7 because i have a nasty old 4th gen itouch and i am done with apple.
originally i was all about the note, but now i'm stuck and leaning towards the nexus, i looked up a bunch about the two. opinions?

i went to the AT&T store last week and put their balls in a vice and they gave me an upgrade to the Galaxy S4 even though my contract isn't due til like march lopl

holy smokes is the S4 fast and big.  the S4's size makes my S2 seem as small as my Zune HD did when i first got my S2.  absolutely loving the S4, there's literally nothing bad i can think of about it.

At the moment it's basically a tie between the HTC One and the Galaxy S4.

But in reality the Nexus 4 is the best bang for buck.

btw in terms of pricing, as far as i've seen, some places like costco or other wireless retailers have AT&T's Galaxy S4 at $149.99 w/ 2 year contract

when would buying your phone contract from the same place you buy your phone from ever seem like a good idea?

I was going to get an HTC One on verizon but the price turned out to be $200.

I used to have a ADR8995 Pantech Breakout with the Broken Out 2.0 rom (It has horrible hardware) but now it's completely damaged so I'll get a droid mini and probably wait for a ROM for it and a rooting method because it's fairly new.

I have a stock Nexus 7.

5MP rear camera is nothing at all to brag about
do you mean front camera?

5MP rear camera is nothing at all to brag about

nope, the camera is pretty blegh

5 MP autofocus camera with face detection; 1080p video recording @ 30fps
1.2MP front-facing camera

[Night Fox]

nope, the camera is pretty blegh

well stuff
didn't he say on the last page that the Nexus 4 had an 8MP rear camera? why would they downgrade it? :I

you don't buy the contract, you buy the phone.  the marked down price of $149.99/$199.99 is due to you signing the contract with whatever carrier that says "I'm paying this marked down price for this regular priced $650+ smartphone, and in return my line cannot upgrade to a new phone for 2 years and I will pay for my phone bill for those 2 years and if I cancel/early upgrade/switch carriers I'll be hit with a fee".  the contract is a contract, it doesn't matter where you get it.  you can get it at a kiosk in costco for all you want, as long as you are eligible.

the contract is not related to the store you buy it from if you buy it from like costco or w/e.  the contract is with your carrier.

my line cannot upgrade to a new phone for 2 years

okay i got that but why would they upgrade your phone, not yourself
