Does anyone know if it will be available on Amazon with the same Google Play price? The Nexus 7 is already available for $235 (16 GB).
[Nexus 4 General] Madarox:
Actually,549 euros IS the official price by LG in Austria.It's coming to most countries officially but at a horrible price.I agree on getting it from the US thing,even if someone bought it for me he wouldn't examine it like I would(like checking for dead pixels,reception problems,cam problems etc) and some defects can actually take a while to appear.
[Nexus 4 General] circleofomega:
OMG! 550 Euros??? *faints*

[Nexus 4 General] lbrfabio:
Can we have some actual(official by LG) news about the price on Austria? I found a tech site saying this(don't remember which now) but can't find anything really official
[Nexus 4 General] Lorthirk:
It's because there's nothing official yet :)
[Nexus 4 General] Deltatiger:
If its going to be around 550 Euros or even close to 600 USD then i am thinking of going for a HTC one x or one x+(if it comes to india and aint that costly). Atleast HTC has pretty good service in India...

Still waiting for the Nexus 7 to be released in India... (dont think its gonna happen for now...)
[Nexus 4 General] vido.ardes:
I am pretty certain this doesn't break any XDA rules (I have just had a re-read), but I apologise if it does.

I am in the UK, and I don't know if this is anything people would want to do, but I am willing to buy for other people and ship to mainland Europe.

I have built up a pretty good rep here over the last few years, and I would not look to make any profit. I would just want cost of phone + shipping. I would be able to ship on the day it is delivered to me, and would issue a tracking number. If anyone is serious in wanting me to do this on their behalf, please let me know, I have a pay pal account (the easiest method of transaction).

Please don't PM about it as it is against site rules, must be public messages.
[Nexus 4 General] BTslo:
I might but pound is currently very strong against euro so it probably comes out cheaper if I find someone from Germany.

How much is 16GB in UK?
[Nexus 4 General] Madarox:
Someone from Sweden(also Austria) told me that it will be available for 4700 SEK(nearly 550 euros),it seems to be true.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=33480553&postcount=1348

Can't find a link for an official statement tho.
[Nexus 4 General] vido.ardes:
Good point, didn't think of that. It is £279 for the 16GB, £239 for 8GB which at current exchange rates is €347.42 for 16GB and €297 for 8GB (plus shipping)
[Nexus 4 General] lbrfabio:
I read about Sweden on Reddit, but I think there is that assumption because the OP saw the phone on a online swedish store without more information if not only the price.

Carephone Warehouse UK too, was selling the phone for 389£(~499€) but I think that price wasn't true (If I understand it correctly)

Nothing says this is official. Nothing from LG(facebook or twitter or other). It may even be true but I just want an official statement to quiet my mind:p
[Nexus 4 General] Lorthirk:
Carphone Warehouse did even pull out the preorder page, only to go live again with updated price and an apology.
[Nexus 4 General] lbrfabio:

I just saw a 31 (pounds I guess)/month, but I'm not familiar with them... is it for 12 months?
[Nexus 4 General] lbrfabio:
If you buy on the UK play store is the same as Germany\France\Spain. 279£ is ~349€ (16GB)

If it's 12 months 31/months it's still a lot compared to the play store. 279 vs 372£

Who is the crazy man who would do that? well, yes it's monthly but still...
[Nexus 4 General] BTslo:
I checked with Paypal and it comes to around 365eur. But this could be Paypal's rate which is a ripoff, I use my bank rates.:laugh: That might be around 350 so it's a good deal.

If this checks out and it's not against the rules, put me down for one. I'm in the Netherlands.

What if the phone a person buys is defective? Would you mind claiming the warranty on the person's behalf? The person would pay all the shipping etc. of course.

if i cannot find it you are my last chance:cyclops:
[Nexus 4 General] osi13:
Is there a market for buying these retail from the Play store, and reselling them via eBay to other countries, who do not have a play store? I have a friend who tried doing this with iPhones, but he found out that Apple has serious restrictions on exporting to other countries.
[Nexus 4 General] vido.ardes:
If it is defective, then I don't mind doing a warranty return, but there are issues with shipping (again) as I would probably have to pay t ship it to them, so it would incur 3 more lots of shipping costs (you > me, me > them, me > you).

I probably won;t get away with doing this in massive quantities, but I want to help out if I can.

Let's wait and see if any more countries / prices are announced, and revisit this in a week (I will probably open a thread, so it is all in public and people can see who has paid and what the queue is like e.t.c), but the offer is definitely there if you need it to be.

I will read play store terms & conditions and speak to mods to make sure this all ok.
[Nexus 4 General] mELIANTE:
Any source for that 550€ price tag?:eek:
[Nexus 4 General] Nexus 4:
Absolutelly, fortunately in Spain we can get the Nexus 4 on the Play store, but the sad thing is that some stores like Carephone warehouse want to take profit of the price..
[Nexus 4 General] dastinger:
I don't know if the price tag will be €500+ in Portugal but, if so, I'll just order mine in Spain. It sucks if retail store do that but it wouldn't surprise me.
[Nexus 4 General] Jack Barrett:
Omg i sold my s3 today expecting to get n4 for 350 and now everyone say 500+ € WTF dealbreaker! We want play store in Ireland
[Nexus 4 General] lbrfabio:
If I'm not mistaken, all those who can purchase the Nexus 4(and\or other devices) from the Play Store have Google Movies, Music and Books(and some of them even Google Magazines) in their own country.

So, I'm guessing that, in the future, only those countries which have at least three of Google's service will be able to buy devices from the play store.

Italy(my country) is the only one with two service (books and music) at the moment. I hope it will be next, but I'm guessing only after a few months LG will sell at full price:rolleyes:
[Nexus 4 General] aaatoel:
Quick question. I am from Greece and I intend to go to France for a couple of weeks in the end of November. When I will be there, will it be possible for me to purchase it at the French Play store while using a credit card issued from a Greek bank, or do I have to find someone there with a French account and card?
[Nexus 4 General] renna1992:

http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/12e67h/europeans_how_are_you_getting_your_nexus_4/

According to this guy,the mentioned price is listed by 2 Swedish carriers so I assume that price is the real deal:rolleyes:

Edit:Here's the link of one of the Swedish carriers' pricing: http://www.webhallen.com/se-sv/hemelektronik/164587-lg_nexus_4
[Nexus 4 General] nic85:
Probably 599€ in italy 16GB model.
[Nexus 4 General] FISKER_Q:
It's just a retailer, but indeed, the prices everywhere is around that level, here's a couple of extra retailers/carriers:

http://www.tre.se/Privat/Mobiltelefoner/Mobiler/LG-Nexus-4/

http://www.proshop.se/Mobiltelefon/LG-Nexus-4-2376922.html

http://www.datapryl.se/products/Google/LG-E960-NEXUS-Black

http://www.ghdata.se/products/Google/LG-E960-NEXUS-Black

http://www.tele2.se/mobiltelefoner/lg-nexus-4

It's the same story in Denmark, except that there's only 2 currently carrying it, both around the 550€ pricepoint.

I think it's quite obvious by now that it is indeed the intended pricing and that likely only the Google Play version is cheaper due to the fact that they can sell their movies, music, etc. in those countries.

The only reason why i should see this change is if the publicity forces LG/Google to compensate retailers and carriers in exchange for offering it at a competitive price level.
[Nexus 4 General] Lorthirk:
I'm going to get it elsewhere, but I'll pay it 350€. For sure I won't be robbed by Italian shops or carriers if they put it up at a higher price.

Cheapest way to get a nexus 4

1- acquire a US mailbox, i use shop n ship but im sure there're other companies who does the same.

2- use a proxy or a vpn to get to the US google store ( search for proxies or vpn)

3- let google ship your nexus to the US based mailbox

4- the shipping company will collect your package and will send it to you, usually takes about a week to have your package delivered to you

5- enjoy your new phone

My nexus 1, galaxy nexus were bought using the above method.

Hope this helps you guys

[Nexus 4 General] dragonmasterx:
Well it is the market early orders will get sky high prices as the nexus 4 will not be fully unleashed untill christmas.

my opinion wait a little to see if there are any problems and also to be on all markets and then you buy it ,it is too early to buy it and the sellers of other countries will get a high profit(checked ebay) just wait.

dont forget that galaxy s3 on prerelease was expensive too and now it is not ,i bought it on launch day for a high price and now if i sell it used i will sell it in half price and in time get the nexus 4

I have read through the play store T&C's and I can;t see anything that would stop me from doing this legally, although they do mention a theoretical "maximum device limit", but don't say what that number may be.

There is an important part I have quoted below:

What I don't know is if "commercially reselling" applies when no profit is made. This is the only stumbling block I can see to doing this.

With regards to wanting to do this,

please don't PM or email me

, as that does break XDA rules. If and when I work out this is legally possible, I will open a new thread, probably in the marketplace forum. I will ignore any PM's on the subject.

How does Google Wallet factor into the gifting process? Do you have to like transfer the device from your order on Google Wallet?
[Nexus 4 General] vido.ardes:
I phoned the customer support, they were quite helpful. They guy said that there are no legal issues about buying a device, sending it to a friend and them then paying me back for it, but there will be a restriction on the amount of devices I can buy, so I may only be able to get a couple in. He did reiterate if there were any warranty issues, the device would need to be sent back to me and I would have to send it back to Google, so there are potentially quite a lot of shipping costs involved if there are problems with it (which I would have to pass on to you I'm afraid). That being said, it sounds like there aren't any legal issues, but I still need to speak to the XDA staff to see if there are any problems that end.

[Nexus 4 General] FISKER_Q:
If you're lucky you can in theory have it sent from the US (If you know someone willing to order and send it to you that is) and only pay $350 + possible sales tax + shipping domestically + shipping internationally.

If you're not lucky it'll atleast cost you 360€ for the device alone, excluding possible sales taxes and shipping.

You should concentrate on getting it from one of the european retailers, you will still need it shipped via a friend or someone you know, but it should not cost you more than ~375€ including shipping.

I just wish google play was available worldwide.Is it really that hard to do ? Most online stores can ship to you anywhere you are.
[Nexus 4 General] haloimplant:
Does Play Store sell in Germany though? One suspicion is that the higher pricing is in countries where Play Store doesn't operate.

It is also possible that they are jumping the gun and assuming that they can it for a certain amount based on Google's pricing without actually knowing.
[Nexus 4 General] lbrfabio:
It's probably because they don't want to sell directly a phone at that price if people don't have access to movies, books, music and so on.

I just know that right now is a mess o.O

There is no clear information.

Both Germany and Spain have the Nexus 4 16gb at 349€ via play store but in those links, there is some german store selling at just 50€ more the play store price.

Meanwhile in Spain, Phone House won't sell the Nexus 4 because 599€ it's ridiculous if the Play Store, in the same country, is selling it at just 349€.

If even on states with Play Store, the "outside price" is different It's not clear anymore who is deciding here

[Nexus 4 General] draugaz:
Would not surprise me at all. It suprises me more, that LG actually agreed on building such a phone to be sold at this price level.

Just imagine you are Samsung or HTC happily retailing your Galaxy S3, HTC One X (non LTE versions) at something like 500euros. Now comes Google and orders several million units of your S3/OneX/etc with a plan to retail them at 350euros. What would you do?

If I were Samsung or HTC, I would just politely raise a middle finger and show google the door. And I suspect they actually did that.

I mean, technically it is not a bad deal at all, Samsung/HTC as manufacturers wouldn't earn per unit any less than they do now. The problem is, that their current models would instantly be dead in the water. And their distribution channels revolting.

Maybe LG is counting on boosting their brand image which is currently not exactly brilliant.

And they have almost nothing to lose:

1. In the USA they will still sell their Optimus G as yanks won't buy anything what is unsubsidized and N4 won't get the same subsidies. Maybe it is one of the main reasons why N4 does not have an LTE. It makes sure the AT&T does not get any stupid ideas.

2. In Europe LG is not really a market leader, their last flagships always went in a permanent fire sale.

3. Asia - no idea, maybe this is why Nexus4 is not sold in Asia yet?

This could also explain why LG distribution channel is so hostile to Nexus4. Google essentially cuts them out of the equation.

---------- Post added at 05:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:36 AM ----------

Or LG does not want it to be sold worldwide, as they have their own OptimusG to sell. For 599 Euros (or equivalent).
