Im happy with my nexus 4 and based on that I had no problems getting my mom the optimus L9 which is more phone than she'll ever need. Id like to get the nexus 5 but I haven't even had the 4 6 months yet so no point really. Maybe Ill pick one up when the resale price drops on craigslist as I did this one. Id like a bigger phone screen, Im a sucker for jumbotrons.
Ive never tried the g2 nor seen it in person. Theres a tmo store near by so Ill stop in one day and look. Id like to see how the rear button setup works.
