maybe we'll see some clip on cases with thumbsticks/buttons in the near future.

Ze future is already here: http://buy.thegameklip.com/ Bulky, yes, but oh so nice. Good luck fitting that in your pocket though.

It will take me or anyone here forever to get a phone if we keep saying "oh nooos, there comes a better model than the current one!" Even if you do get SIV some other company will more than likely release a monster phone to dethrone it. Then what? lol

that's true, but I always get the top dog on release when my contract is due renewal. that's why I'm getting the s4.

EVERY SINGLE person in my area has either iphone 5 or S3 and I hate that. I will probably go with Xperia Z or Blackberry Z10 (if any good) for variety's sake. I refuse to be a part of those common herds lol

Because they are a ball ache when typing, they are hidden when you need them, especially the back button. I have android devices with and without, with is a hell of a lot better.

Definitely agree. I got a Nexus 4, my first phone with on screen buttons. Its a pain sometimes. Since there is no such thing as an all screen phone (no bezel) they should put capacitive buttons at the bottom. The only device on screen buttons make sense on is a tablet. If there ever is an all screen phone, I may let it slide.

Personally, I never ran into those issues. Probably because I swipe my letters. In any case, many custom ROM lets you customize the behaviour of the on screen navigation bar. With or without the on-screen buttons, I'm game for either or, they work lol. I'm just happy that my Nexus 4 actually has a notification LED unlike my Nexus S lol. deltatux
