I shouldn't have read this thread...
I have the Nexus 4, it was supposed to be my, stop trading for every other phone that comes out, but the bug is striking again. I'm just so curious. I had the original Note and really really liked it. It was just too wide and flat. Then I got the S3 and really liked it. Then the Nexus came out and I upgraded. Now I'm really wanting to try the Note 2. I do kind of miss some of those features, and if I root I can always throw a stock ROM on it and make it feel "pure"
