I totally agree that the Wired review wasn't all that it could have been. It did answer some of my basic questions though (like 'how does the battery life hold up?' and 'is it a lemon or not?')

I can't really say the same for the Verge video, though. It felt to me like Google's PR video, made by a third party. The only even vaguely critical question was "so it's like Swype?" IIRC the interviewer doesn't even get to hold the phone. Surely tech journalism can do better.

Read the article, it answers your questions, and better than the Wired article did.

I went and reread it, because I'd skipped the Nexus 10 section last week.

At least the article describes the author's experience of holding the phone, if not actually using it.

But I didn't feel my two questions were answered. The only part that came close as the Google person saying that LTE increases battery usage. I want to know more than just what the manufacturer says about it, ideally based on some hands-on experience. Which is what I at least appreciated about the Wired review.

I do agree the article is better than the video, but it's still mostly just repeating what Google said on launch day.

Oh, I just realized the parent didn't link to the Nexus 4 review: http://www.theverge.com/2012/11/2/3589280/google-nexus-4-rev.... I assumed they had, as that seems like the reasonable thing to do.

Ah, that is a very good review. Thanks. Maybe the parent meant to link to it, too. :)
