I experimented for a while with a data-only setup on my Galaxy S2 since I got sick of juggling SIM cards when I traveled. The goal was that as long as I had IP connectivity, my phone worked as it always did, so everything routed through voip, etc. What forced me to switch back was the latency involved in VOIP calls. It was mostly okay, but sometimes it was downright horrible. I'm super excited for a Nexus device with nice, low-latency true 4G so I can take another run.

I use a Galaxy Camera with a 4G LTE MiFi from Verizon, and can tell you that a Nexus with a similar backend should work nicely for you. Advantage of the MiFi is that I don't have to do anything to tether (no funny business like with a phone on US Carriers), and I am free to change the phone more often. I personally use Skype since their codecs give better quality over even 3G connections. For your consideration...
