Who asked for a physical button?
In any case I don't agree. In my opinion there is no need to see those buttons all the time and less bezel has nothing to do with that. I want a 4.7" screen not 4.5".
Fortunately I see there are several solutions do what I want. I'm really starting to like this. If it was my iPhone I would be SOL waiting for a jailbreak since Apple would never allow that kind of system change.
So you can have your nav buttons and I can make them go away if I don't need 'em.

What else is there?
Physical buttons like Apple has or Samsung S3 capacitive and there is on screen like the Nexus 7, Xoom, Samsung Galaxy Nexus etc...
I think I wouldn't mind all the buttons being capacitive like on HTC phones I just hate how it is on my S3 with one physical button.
To be safe however, I have page monitor running in chrome every 15 secs
I just changed mine to 15 seconds too. Gotta keep up
Just IMO, but if it's capacitive anyway, why not make it software-based? It works the same, but it gains the ability to be context-aware. Win-win?
Sure, you lose a few pixels, but if that really bothers you... this is Android. You can get rid of it
You're right and I'm pro on screen button but wouldn't mind all capacitive either.
----------
That is something I will miss for example when the phone is on the desk and I want to turn the screen on but I just don't like the fact that 2 of the buttons are capacitive and one is physical it feels inconsistent.
The page has been updated to remove the statement that they'd be released on the 13th.
Eminent!

That would be a shame as I have to be elsewhere at that time. Probably be sold out by the time I get back to a computer.
As if you're not enticed enough, here's a gallery from DroidLife: http://www.droid-life.com/2012/11/12/quick-gallery-nexus-4-and-nexus-10/
She's a beaut...
Such a simple thing, that goes such a long way...
Honestly, the bottom bezel doesn't look that big anymore...
The contoured rubber-like frame is supposed to give it a great grip. Yay for ergonomics...
How the back will look most of the time, apparently. I really started liking the patterned back once I discovered it was a homage to the original Nexus One wallpaper, but I'm still glad it's subtle.

Man I got class tomorrow, I can't stay up too late if it is a midnight release here!That would be a shame as I have to be elsewhere at that time. Probably be sold out by the time I get back to a computer.
Change the script to look for 'Coming Soon'.
Code:grep "Coming Soon"
Fixed. Thanks again

Upon closer look, that bumper sure is ugly. It makes me think of the HTC Amaze or something...

What's up with the Play Store offering TINY pictures of their devices and accessories? Why aren't they larger or more hi-res?

Agree re: bumper. Definitely not interested.
And to plant a (possibly nefarious) seed: there were shipping issues at the Nexus 7's launch for people who ordered accessories at the same time they ordered the Nexus 7's.........
