In the end you pay about $60 more for the phone though while the price of phone drops as you pay for it every month(not for you ofc since you comitted to it earlier.) I think it's best to save up and wait for a phone to drop in price.

Yeah, be careful with it - I advice getting a protector of some kind. My (slightly clumsy) parents both have one, and both their screens are cracked (my mother's across the screen and my father's under the homebutton)

The official ones from samsung were €30. I think that is a little bit expensive for a flipcover. I am gonna get a cheaper one for €5.

Sorry to bump this but I finally got a Nexus 5 from Videotron. I was supposed to get an ALCATEL ONE TOUCH M’POP for $0.00 with a $29.95/month plan (100 Minutes+unlimited weekend/evening calls+text), but since I already had 30 mbps internet + residential phone with the same company, I got a promotion where for $32.95/month, I would get an unlimited call/text/2GB data phone plan, a Nexus 5 for $0 and an unlimited home internet upgrade (so I get unlimited bandwidth instead of 150 GB). The promotion+contract lasts for two years and they are leasing me a wifi router for free during the entire plan.

So I figured that for $3 more I would get the Nexus instead of another phone that will be obsolete in 2 years :P.


Now I just need to figure out if I have to pay for a second copy of Tapatalk or not.

Great choice! I have the Nexus 5 and am absolutely loving it. Like it so far?

Good choice here IMO. I wanted it too but sadly Videotron does not offer mobile services at my place.

Edit: ninja'd. Also if you link your Google account you shouldn't have to buy it again.

Yup, although I'm still trying to figure out where is located the SMS function <_<


EDIT: Nvm it's merged into Google Hangouts now.

Yeah i saw about Tapatalk. Glad to see since I didn't feel to pay for it a second time. :P

Now I need to figure out how to play music on it since the stock media player app is gone. Hopefully I can send my own MP3s to my phone via USB.

You can. I recommend Rocket Player or Poweramp, or you could just use the stock Play Music.

For a music player, I'd recommend GoneMad. I don't remember what were the limitations of the free versions but it was so awesome I bought the paid version.
I tried all players you can think of, Poweramp, JetAudio, n7, Player Pro, VLC, NRG, I don't remember if I tried Rocket Player but only two players among the ones I tried could play all the musics in my librairy: JetAudio and GoneMad. And what's great with that choice is that JetAudio was the one with the worst interface of all players I tried while GoneMad was the one with the best interface :D
