LTE is kind of a battery hog even on new phones so you'd want next year's models when they resolve those issues.I placed an order the other day for a GNexus. From the Play Store, $376. Not bad for an off-contract smartphone.
I really don't like how it doesn't have LTE, though. By the time it was released, LTE was out on quite a few phones.
Eh, it'll hold em over for a few more months until my upgrade.
