Nexus 4

I finally got the nexus 4 which is a vast improvement over my old LG C800 which I only got because of the key board. Admittedly I am having a bitch of a time getting used to using the onscreen key board, but the screen is much larger on this phone and the screen is a lot nicer too. Very responsive to the touch and the predictive text is quite useful.

I will miss my keyboard but this is a fair trade off for speed and an updated android version. The only complaints I have are: no key board and wildly expensive but not necessarily over priced.

I got the 16GB model which puts the base price at $350, sadly you pay taxes and shipping for the phone which rounds this up to $390 dollars. The type of shipping is not negotiable, you pay for 20 dollar 2 day shipping. I needed a micro SIM card which T-Mobile charged me $21 and some change for after taxes. I needed a new belt case for the phone which cost me $20 more. So ultimately I paid $430 for this phone. Which was worth it, but holy shit I didn't expect all of these little costs.

So yeah... $350 my ass.

However this phone is faaaaaaaaast! Blazing and I didn't put a ROM on it or anything. All stock stuff. Not too crazy about the desktop, but meh...
