Wow I'm halfway through my billing cycle and I've already used 11gb of data. I tethered/steamed 2 shows on Netflix so I guess that alone was about 7gb.

Who are you with. T-mobile halted my tethering and cant figure out how to get past their block

Verizon. I usually try to stay pretty modest with the data usage even tho it's techically unlimited. I'm not one to abuse it just because; although vzw does get over on consumers. well, to be perfectly honest, my main reason to not use 50-100 gb is b/c I don't want to be on their hit list... Like you are with at&t.
I knew tethering and streaming used a lot of data, but 3gb
wow. I felt some type of way about it but I didn't know it was that extreme.

I'm good with stock on my N5, but I would like a good kernel to run. Flashed Cataclysm ROM yesterday and I didn't like it too much.

Now some real bend the rules but its up to the rep

[h2]1080p smartphone displays offer no visual difference over 720p[/h2]
As smartphone screens get bigger, so do the resolutions. We’re already seeing “phablets” like Samsung’s new Galaxy Note II with a huge 5.5-inch display, and HTC’s recently-announced J Butterfly has a 5-inch display with a 1080p resolution. However, higher resolutions don’t always mean a clearer image. Clarity on a smartphone display can only get so good before the human eye doesn’t notice anything better.
Dr. Raymond Soneira, president and CEO of DisplayMate, a company that produces calibration software for various displays, says that most people won’t be able to notice the difference between a smartphone with a 720p display and one with 1080p. This is simply because photos and videos are spread over multiple pixels anyway, so they would still look a little blurred, in a way, no matter how high the resolution is.
Dr. Soneira says that the only way you would be able to tell a slight difference is if you had perfect 20/20 vision or have the screen up close to your eyes, and even then it’s still slightly hard to tell the difference. But obviously, most users hold their phones at least a foot or so away from their faces, which at that point, there’s no way users could tell the difference between clarity, and the human eye usually can’t process anything more than 229ppi in normal circumstances, which means even the iPhone 5‘s 326ppi resolution is a bit overkill.
However, Dr. Soneira does mention one advantage of a 1080p smartphone display that would have greater impact over a 720p screen, and that is more room for various user interface elements, especially for viewing websites on a mobile browser. More text would show up on the screen at once, and higher-resolution images show in full on a 1080p screen

Biggest reason I like 1080p is for the last reason he stated. I like having more real estate on my screen to work with when browsing the web, articles, and such.
Speaking of...
:x :x :x That's really OD IMHO

It's pretty minor I'll get a pic tho.
G2 vs N5.. I'll keep it short and sweet if you're a flashaholic get da N5.
If you want features and gimmicky stuff get da G2..camera features etc etc. I think out of the box and you want fast phone with no stutters that works get da N5.
If you're a Web browsing junkie though the G2 will withstand all that abuse.
Both have pros and cons for me personally the n5 is my preferred choice. But if you like da g2 I wouldn't eem be mad
