Google Nexus 4

So, if I manage to get one of these, what sort of contract would be best (low usage)?
Should I go PAYG on my same supplier? (Orange/EE)

I was planning to stick it on my current SIM-only deal with Three.

Found this if it is of any use, it's the 'hottest' deal ever on hotukdeals (mainly because it's updated on a regular basis)

Good news, ever wanted to pay much....much more for the Nexus 4??!!?  Â£50....£75.....£100.....

Well the Carphone warehouse will sell it to you for £389.95 (16gb version) over google play's pathetic £279 price , but don't worry, Requests have come flooding in to increase this price further!

It's a free country and there's no law against being an idiot I suppose.

As to why CPW are selling the phone for over a hundred pounds more than Google does I'm not sure. They might just be evil and believe punters will not know about the price the could get it for direct from Google. £380 would seem a fair price for a non contract top end phone when compared to Samsung's, Motorola's, iPhones etc. So customers not in the know wouldn't think anything was amiss. Then again maybe CPW just don't get a discount and selling at £260 would be a loss maker for them? Google are hoping to generate sales from apps, media content and advertising that new Nexus 4 owners will provide and I imagine they are happy to sell the phone at cost or below. But CPW won't see any money from these after sales, so need to make their profit on the phone. £380 does seem such a lot more than Google's price so I imagine they just can't match it. But then maybe I credit CPW with far more integrity than they actually have.

Purchased from CPW. Delivery tomorrow. I'm such an impatient bugger

Yeah. Saw that which kinda sealed it for me.

[BrotherTobious]

I am not sure I just managed to order one and it says 1 - 2 weeks will let you know.

[Snokio]

looks like they are back in stock! :blink:

edit: Well, it has 4-5 weeks shipping

[TeaLeaf]

Yep, don't mind that, ordered mine.

[OldBloke]

Had mine a few days now and I'm really impressed with it. Need to get the official bumper for it though as it's a slippery beast.

[Whitey]

Ordered as well.

I am thinking about this as a possible upgrade but I am still in Love with my galaxy S2's looks and it still does everything I ask of it.

Can you actually use all of the extra power on android on any apps available? loadup time minimisation is great but I dont mind the speed of my current phone.

So whats is best features on your opinion?

The screen looks like a big upgrade but apart from that what do you love about it?

Cheers,

Likewise, I dropped £250 on my S2 back in August when my HTC Desire melted. Can't possibly justify an upgrade (although 2nd hand S2 + new Nexus 4 < iPhone5!) but would be nice to know the real world difference between the S2 and N4
