    Flash can be easily sideloaded onto phones running the latest Android version so yes it can support Flash.

    depending what tickets you are looking to buy (train ? concert ?) there may be an app that would better suit you ....

    People have got flash to work on the N7, so no reason why it should work on the N4. I havent been able to get it to work on the N10 - but then again I havent tried to hard.

    I upgraded from the GN to the Nexus 4 and have noticed an improvement in build quality and speed of which the phone does things. The GN is no bad phone by any means, well made and powerful, but this still feels better.

    Merry Christmas BTW.

    Pass. I would hope they don't come locked as that's not very "nexus".......

    8gb and 16gb still both sold out. Google are really shooting themselves in the foot here even if they are selling them at a loss. Do they think that people are prepared to wait or are they worried about people buying competing phone and god forbid getting an iphone instead.

    Well I have cancelled my N4 pre order, I'll wait until my contract expires in April 2013 to get a new phone and hope a 1080p phone will be released at CES in January or Mobile World Conference in February.

    at that point it will be only a few months until the next Nexus is released :)

    1080p phones are on their way I believe .... but the point of the Nexus range isnt that they have the best spec out there .... its more about the support ....

    Picked up my N4 today from carphone warehouse on O2 PAYG for £369. Apparently a PAYG upgrade offer and so far loving it!

    Only thing taking a while to get used to is the onscreen keys!

    Can I all if anyone has had a problem with cracking the glass back?

    There are a few posts on other sites, but it's hard to know if these people were very unlucky or if there is a design flaw.

    Did everyone buy a case/bumper?

    I laughed when Apple had a glass back, and I can't believe Google approved a design for a Nexus phone that had one.

    Yes mine has lightly cracked round about the LED for no obvious reason, it seems to be a structural weakness in the glass around that area. It's no big deal as I use it in a cover but the choice of glass on the back was a stupid one.

    I don't understand why anyone would want 1080p on a phone.

    The different between 100, 200, and 300 DPI is noticeable but I'm not sure many people would notice 400 or 500 DPI, seems like overkill to me.

    there's the quick settings, which require an extra click
    http://www.gottabemobile.com/2012/11/21/how-to-use-quick-settings-in-android-4-2-jelly-bean/

    shame its not customisable though, and its mostly not toggles, more links to the settings. You can get toggle widgets but I don't know anything that provides Touchwiz style buttons at the top of the notifications.

    Just found something out by mistake there...pull the notification window with 2 fingers takes you right to the quick settings!

    I'm also guessing there is no way to put the battery percentage next to the battery icon?

    you can have it on the top left, not sure about right next to the battery.

    e.g.
