from what I could tell the LG skin didn't look any worse than tue Samsung and HTC bloat and I thought I read I could delete most of the things I don't want. Sounds like if you want the G2 stock Android them you want the Nexus 5The LG G2 has insanely good battery life, from the looks of things.

Snapdragon 800 is a beast.
It's a shame this phone is running LG's horrible Android skin. It'd be awesome with stock Android.
I just don't like Android OS bloat at all. Sense at least has some extra useful features (Zoe being a great one), but I hate all the extra bullshit that Samsung adds in Touchwiz.
Unfortunately, assuming the latest leaks are accurate, it doesn't look like the Nexus 5 is going to be based on the G2. Based on the rumoured specs, the Nexus 5 battery will only be 2,300mah (versus 3,000mah in the g2), and it'll be using worse quality Snapdragon 800s which use up more power. It also appears that the Nexus 5 will have a 4.97" screen compared to the G2's 5.2", and it's likely that the Nexus 5's camera won't have OIS, either.
Still, I'm sure the Nexus 5 will be the best value phone on the market and the best phone in its price range.

it should be here on the 11th which is awesome I didn't expect to get it till the 13th. I'll throw up a review of the buttons, bloat and battery life after that.

It's been said that the Sony Xperia Z1 will be released world wide this month and be offered on more US carriers thanintended before when only T-Mobile was the only carrier to get it.
It's the phone I'm looking at most since picking up a tablet so the Note 3 isn't something I need anymore.

I can't wear cargo pants to work, lol. Keys in the back pocket would be a pain in the ass.
I've carried this phone in my back pocket before, never sat on it, I dunno I'll figure something out.
Glad to hear though I'm not the only front pocket wallet guy, my friends think I'm weird for it. Bitches never lived in Flint Michigan before.

No, not really. They will get us excited and then show us another phone with 18 month old technology, pass it off as new and people will scoop it up. It's the same thing every year.

I don't have a note but my brother has one and loves it. He carries it in his front pocket. If it's anything like my kindle you wouldn't want to sit down with it in your back pocket. When I did that in the car with the kindle it smashed the screen real well.

I carry my keys in my back pocket but I always set them down wherever I go or give them to my wife to put them in her purse (or put them in my desk drawer at work). I never sit on them... This is really only a problem in the summer when I'm not wearing a coat.
