Yeah, this is true. Unless you root then you can literally so anything you want.

will do for sure, i just did not want to go to the store wihtout any information about what i might be going to buy.
i hate those guys at the store who are trying to make you buy something you dont need at all, just to get more profit out of it (used to be like that when i got my current one)
that's most likely the reason why i was asking for other opinions.
the phone still works, but it got some scratches and sometimes the touchscreen doesnt work correctly, so i guess it's time to go for a new one before it wont work anymore.
really like the lg nexus 4, which was suggested previously; will check this one out at the store today i guess =)

If in the US, it's only sold at Tmobile stores, or online at Google play. It's sold out online atm.

Keep it untill it does not work anymore

This is what i pretty much do or until i get an upgrade because phone's are ridiculously priced without an upgrade.
