Comment on Upcoming Nexus 5 leaks in white, Nov. 1 launch date reportedparent

Me.

Recently began work on a mobile project where we deal with a few recent Android phones and tablets. I already bought myself a Nexus 7 and it's fucking awesome. I can't wait to drop the iPhone and get the Nexus 5.

Both have their merits but in the end it's the screens size to me. Make the iPhone thinner, give it a killer screen, and I'll go back but until then, Android.

Screen size seems to pull many people from iPhone. I find larger displays uncomfortable though (heavily using one handed) but it seems that people want that.

Kinda off topic, but what's the email client situation on Android? I don't use Gmail and the last time I used Android (ICS I guess), mail clients were from stone age.

So.. according to the discussion and screenshots of a couple of alternatives;

No. There are no decent email clients on Android?

No idea but I'm not too picky. As long as I can read it and search it I'm fine, so I just use the standard Gmail app. I like the larger screen because I want to have one device with all my music on it, with the ability to read on the commute.
