The 300 actually sounds ok. I just want something with a reasonable (NOT 4.7" or stupid-size) screen other than that most specs make little difference (to me, and in reality most people I'd imagine)

If however it's more expensive than the Nexus 4 I don't see the point, I bet a lot of Android manufacturers are cursing Google right now!

Lets hope Sense isn't a memory hog anymore then, it was dog slow with ICS on my old 768MB Sensation so probably awful with the latest Android+Sense and 512MB, with probably a similar performing CPU as the old Sensation in th 300.

The 601 might be OK though, looks reasonable, so long as it's a decent Snapdragon 400 and not one of the A7 based ones.

Why the hell does it have micro SD when neither the One or the One Mini has it... If either of them had micro SD they would be my perfect phone!

it doesn't have as much built-in storage as the one / one mini,
also built-in storage is usually faster than microSD.
