The Verge Mobile Show 026 - November 20th, 2012

For the first time in 10 years, Chris Ziegler is living without a smartphone. On this special Thanksgiving edition of The Verge Mobile Show, Chris tells Dieter and Dan about his less than favorable experiences in the last couple weeks with Nokia's Lumia 920 and LG's Nexus 4, and why he decided to get rid of both of them. Also Dieter shares what he learned from Facebook's Mobile Developer Day and Dan shares his experiences with the Droid DNA and how the poor battery life prevents it from being his next phone.

Will apple sue google for the nexus 4 packaging? LOL!

[Farai Kumire]

Chris is such a idiot - surely every smartphone on the market is better than having no phone. What a spoiled brat.

[Kiran Kurian]

First time watching a video like this and I have to say I like it

[Nikolas Skoufis]

You joke, but ever since all of the Android manufacturers have adopted the packaging where there's a big image of the device on the front, and as soon as you open the box the device is sitting on top, Apple have not been impressed.

Love my Nexus 4, and I don't miss LTE at all. Happy Thanksgiving!

[Samuel Debruyn]

I totally agree with Chris. I would rather buy a Nokia 6310 because I don't want to buy a smartphone with flaws I know about.

[RevalenceProductions]

Chris is kinda annoying, but great show!

[immanuelx2]

What was wrong with the Lumia 920? I fucking love mine.

[chltmdwp]

[Doug Morton]

Nope, that's just The Verge Mobile Show.

[Lutando Ngqakaza]

You are so out of touch with the smartphone market, it is scary. What the fuck are you talking about?
