My smartphone is no longer working for me

It was the Optimus V that first convinced me to do this, the HTC One V was kind of the next logical choice given the price and was a nice speed/screen/camera bump over the Optimus V.

The HTC One V is a great phone for the price, the only real negative to it is HTC's Sense skin over Android isn't that great (IMO, YMMV) but you can reflash it with alternate community ROMs to get standard Android look and feel.

If the Nexus 4 were readily available there's a very good chance I would have tried that on one of T-Mobile's prepaid plans, but since that was sold out with no clear information on future availability I'm going to go with the One V for now.

Thanks.

For $50 (sale price) -- and the $10/month bump, I guess -- the One V seems a very low cost trial, while waiting to see how things develop with the Nexus 4 availability.

The One V price I found was $99. Of course, who knows what it will be, tomorrow.

I've been looking at / waiting on the Nexus 4, as well. But for $99, I may well just do the One V for now, and wait to learn how people in the area do or do not like their Nexus 4 / T-Mobile experience.
