Just got my confirmation from O2 that my TV will be with me within 28 days and I have a buyer willing to pay £250 for it. So in all, the N4 would have cost me only £185. Thanx Google for not selling me one and thanx to the forum member who unearthed this deal :D

Suckas!
[Nexus 4 General] iWannaBeAdored:
Nice one! £250 is a steal for the TV as well!
[Nexus 4 General] 007xico:
I found a buyer for my TV and I am selling it for £300 :p

£130 for the nexus 4 makes me a happy man.
[Nexus 4 General] adjuk84:
same here

Got 2 guys are work that want the TV, the the N4. O2 where really good over twitter, got my virgin sim in the "locked" phone too.

Anyone have any problem getting the bolt on taken off?
[Nexus 4 General] IINexusII:
Has anyone got a confirmation retweet for a TV by getting the phone without a contract? If so i will definately go grab one tomorrow.
[Nexus 4 General] Carnoustie:
Is it just a case of tweeting a pic of the receipt? Only they seem to want a bit more info according to the t&c's below...

5. The first 232 people to tweet us @O2 with a picture of themselves and their new Nexus 4 (which must be on an O2 Pay Monthly contract – Pay & Go phones are not eligible to apply) telling us why they are excited about life using the hashtag #lifesgood will get an LG TV. Those tweeting will be contacted by us in order to verify they have purchased the phone from an O2 store and they will need to provide evidence to prove they have purchased the phone from O2.

I also got confirmation myself and I am on not on a contract with them. Most of the thread is full of people saying they were okay on Pay and Go ;)
[Nexus 4 General] iWannaBeAdored:
Yeah they ask you for a few more details through DM.
[Nexus 4 General] AvRS:
Unfortunately you've missed out on when they were letting people through with PAYG so you have to have a contract now. I was one of the one's who got one with my PAYG N4 which I bought Saturday.

I tweeted something like, "I've finally got my new LG Nexus 4 on @O2 #lifesgood" with a pic of my receipt next to my phone switched on. I was an idiot at first doing it showing the provider at the bottom of the screen which clearly said Tesco lol so I edited the pic to only show half of the phone and receipt down to the IMEI number. They just need to see proof you bought it from O2 and also that you bought it on contract. If you have it on contract you can take a pic of the receipt stapled to the contract itself but hiding your personal details with the box or phone.
[Nexus 4 General] lombardo8:
Just logged into my O2 account and you can either swap the bolt on or remove it. You are not contracted to have it. I believe its just something they force you to take on, hoping you continue to use it. Since I'll have to pay for the bolt on for the first month anyway, I might as well keep it for the month.
[Nexus 4 General] everett_psycho:
Just got my tv confirmation so this baby is mine to keep now, really is good so far, then again coming from the night of hell I've had with my o2x my old hero would have been an upgrade. Great deal from o2, I can't believe they only had 250 TVs and the offer is still running 10 days after it started, the fact they weren't even half way this morning really shocked me
[Nexus 4 General] Carnoustie:
Thanks AvRS great info mate.
[Nexus 4 General] IINexusII:
Thanks... I think I'll still go get one from o2 tomorrow, i just hope Google don't start suddenly reselling theirs on the play store :S
[Nexus 4 General] AvRS:
I'm also loving the phone and kept the screen plastic on for 3 days before I decided I wanted to feel the screen and I have to say is the nicest screen I've used. As weird as it sounds it just feels nice to use to swipe across etc when doing things. I'm guessing it has something to do with the slight curvature but all in all loving the phone. The TV deal is brilliant and I read the actual news blog before they released the phone which said they'll be doing it but then completely forgot due to the hype of my new phone haha so glad we had someone remind us here. You've gotta remember the reason it's not been pounced on is because:

a) people aren't aware when they're normal shoppers popping into the store

b) not everyone follows or thinks to follow O2 on twitter

c) it's not been massively advertised except for on the O2 news blog so isn't out there for the masses to take advantage
[Nexus 4 General] mrallen81:
I hope they do I want my n4

Sent from Nexus 4 only if Google move there ass!
[Nexus 4 General] iWannaBeAdored:
I agree that the slight curve on the front glass round the edges makes swiping feel great!
[Nexus 4 General] batfink10:
Has anyone got the N4 as an upgrade to an existing contract?

I'm assuming I will still be eligible for the TV deal come upgrade time on Sunday (assuming they still have some TVs left!)
[Nexus 4 General] wolfboy1984:
They won't.
[Nexus 4 General] AvRS:
They state new contracts not upgrades so don't think you'll be eligible.
[Nexus 4 General] big_b0sss:
My mate at work offered me 300 for the TV. Should I sell to him??:confused::confused:
[Nexus 4 General] Tiddy_:
Hey everyone I've been reading the thread like a vulture for the past few days in the hope of some information as to where to get the phone cheap. But now i'm very tempted to get the phone on contract. Just wondering if anyone can tell me about this £13.50 contact thats going around on O2.

How many mins, texts and data do you get with it?
[Nexus 4 General] tonybhoy:
just on o2 site there and can only see deal for £13.50 p/m
[Nexus 4 General] everett_psycho:
It's rubbish, 2 years with 50 minutes unlimited texts and 100mb of internet, you can take the internet off to knock it down to £10.50 and you pay £180 upfront. If it wasn't for the TV coming with it free deal I doubt they would have this many takers
[Nexus 4 General] lombardo8:
Tear his arm off!
[Nexus 4 General] tonybhoy:
thanks you just answered my post above about the price lol
[Nexus 4 General] Tiddy_:
Can you link me, I'm using the shop.o2.co.uk pay monthly page and I only see £26.00 as the cheapest.
[Nexus 4 General] lombardo8:
50 minutes

Unlimited texts

100MB data (removable - saves you £3)
[Nexus 4 General] tonybhoy:

[Nexus 4 General] Tiddy_:
Nevermind thanks for the info guys. In the op, there's a 3 contract deal I take it you have to ring them up to get these or something.
[Nexus 4 General] tonybhoy:
in store mate
[Nexus 4 General] MizuhoChan:
Now all we need is Google shipping some backorders out. Oh America, stealing all the stock =(
[Nexus 4 General] gbroon:
Right now I'd be happy just to be able to place an order even if I know it would go straight to backorder.
[Nexus 4 General] ste1164:
I was going to get one today but I dont really want to pay £390 for this device. But I'd also love to have one on backorder.
[Nexus 4 General] yinkus:
I'm tempted to get one myself :D
[Nexus 4 General] tonybhoy:
the missus just seen this thread and now wants a bloody tv pmsl
[Nexus 4 General] DarkShadowAy:
She's given you the thumbs up to get one :good:
[Nexus 4 General] tonybhoy:
really cant be bothered with the hassle mate of getting a contract,then cancelling contract while waiting on a tv which i might not get lol
[Nexus 4 General] Jaybuz:
If I get the phone from O2 on contact then find out they have no TV's left is it possible to return it and cancel the contact without losing any money?

With the TV it makes the phone cheaper than getting it from Google!
[Nexus 4 General] tonybhoy:
i would ask in store if there is any tv's before signing on the dotted line
[Nexus 4 General] mustyrash:
so yeah, i finally decided to open my nexus 4 out of the box just to check if its got any "issues" like its been felt up by another man or the volume rocker rattle. it was fine and it did have a rattle to it, but i dont care.

basically, if you can wait, get the phone from google play because £280 is a bargain price! or you could wait for someone like three to bundle it with the one plan, which is what id prefer, but it might be pricey like the galaxy nexus because hardly anyone wanted it.

if you cant wait, get it from o2 with a tv via contract by the end of the weekend. this is a "spend money to save money" deal, like "buy one get "this" at 1/4th the price" the question comes down to, do you want to spend the extra money on a tv that lg are happy to give away? how good or bad could it be? mind you, this phone and the optimus g could technically establish LG as a big boy in the smartphone industry so they would give a tv away just so that people would buy it and they become popular phones that sold 1 million in 3 months or something like that. plus, i think the tv didnt sell that much because the bigger 1 is about £150 more i think, or its not smart enough to be a 2012 smart tv.

id avoid pay as you go, unless you can get a discount. the phone is worth £400, even more, but it would always itch in my mind saying "you could of had it for £280". in my view i paid £280 for the phone and £120 the tv that should cost £400. this will sink in when i have the tv put in my room.

i luckily got my phone on pay as you go 4 minutes before they changed the T&C's.

a few notes about the phone:

it looks and feels better than an s3 or a one x. it fits amazingly well in both hands when you have it horizontal, the top and bottom bezel are perfect for your thumbs/palms.

the camera is good, when you take a pic, you can tell who it is, what more do you want from a phone camera?

like a 1960's girlfriend, she will be ok with a knock or 2, but wont really survive a push down the stairs. (good build quality but not bullet proof)

the screen is good, its warm like the one x and seems as vibrant as the s3's. compared to my iphone 4, the screen is not washed out.

its fast! i get faster download speeds with this via the wifi, the phone just zooms through whatever i throw at it.

its not as feature rich as a note 2/s3, but with stock android, it could be, version 5 should be out next year and versions 6 and 7 will be supported too! nexus devices are supported up to 3 years.

google music rocks, i signed up to it the night it came out here, still have some music to upload to it, it will help save some of that 12.7gb of space i have access to.

gesture typing is just perfect, also loving the haptic feedback

as soon as i get some proper quality protection on it i will play about with it more! i got a nexus 10 today too, nice, but i have no more money :( i must find a real job now :'( *looks at book on PHP*
[Nexus 4 General] LadFromWales85:
o2 have a 14 day happiness guarantee, including upgrades, though it isn't certain that upgrades are eligible for the TV promotion. It doesn't matter if you have opened or used the phone.

Much better policy than other networks, so kudos to o2 for that :)
[Nexus 4 General] 007xico:
Well done. I couldn't say it better myself.

:thumbup:
[Nexus 4 General] big_b0sss:
Well I got my device rooted and bootloader

Unlocked just wondering in case I need to exchange my phone or replace my phone do I need to unroot my device and lock boot loader again??
[Nexus 4 General] [chris b]:
Finally got one last night. The O2 £13.50 a month deal (soon to be £10.50) with £100 open discount makes it not a huge deal more than buying from play without any of the hassle. Plus I got a free TV into the bargain meaning when I sell it I'll be quids in.

The phone itself is class. Nearly 14Mb download speeds where I am on 3. Yesterday I was struggling to get to 3Mb on my trusty HTC desire.
[Nexus 4 General] wolfboy1984:
Yes!

I have to do the same now!

Titanium backup to Box first. Re lock, un root with the toolkit. Factory reset. Will take 5 mins. :D

Regards,
[Nexus 4 General] lombardo8:
My employers are in this scheme as well. I took out a contract last night, is it too late to activate the code?

What can the £100 be spent on?
[Nexus 4 General] tonybhoy:
dont think you can lock bootloader mate without voiding
[Nexus 4 General] wolfboy1984:
Huh?

Of course you can.
[Nexus 4 General] tonybhoy:
i edited
[Nexus 4 General] Michealtbh:
fastboot oem lock

Nobody will know it was ever unlocked. I doubt unlocking the bootloader on a Nexus would void warranty anyway as it's designed to be easily unlocked.

£279.00

SOLD OUT

im getting that tattoo
[Nexus 4 General] [chris b]:
I picked up my phone in store yesterday and used the code over the phone last night. You can use it in the first 28 days of your contract.

The money is credited to your account between 30 and 60 days after it's processed. I'm guessing you could use it for accessories or something at that point but I'll just be using it to pay my contract.
[Nexus 4 General] Eliotus:
Can anyone actually tell me the following re O2?

1) What contract exactly am I looking to get? On the website I'm seeing £18.50 being the cheapest (for an 18 month), but people are saying they can get it for as low as £10?

2) Can they tell me in-store if they still have the TVs available? I don't want to end up buying one on this deal and being out of pocket when I can't resell the TV.

3) How do I claim the TV when I don't use twitter?

Seriously tempted by this, but I need to know these things before I walk into a store for lunch and grab one!
[Nexus 4 General] undercover:
What code is that?

Welcome to Anonymous Nooboholics. My name is tinky.
[Nexus 4 General] everett_psycho:
1/ its a 24 month low data plan that's £13.50 and the £3 data bolt on is removable to make it £10.50

2&3/ its twitter only, if you can't tweet them you can't enter. I would think the store wouldn't know if there's any left only the guys at head office would, I'd be surprised if all the stores even know about the TV. That said they didn't seem surprised when I bought a brand new phone that wasn't even on display with only 100mb of data, I think they know what our game is here
[Nexus 4 General] Eliotus:
Cheers mate, I'm gonna jump into a store come my lunchbreak and ask if they can check with head office if they still have any TVs knocking about. Gonna make a twitter just for this, probably taking the piss to an extent as no one else will come across my tweet advertising them but... we'll see how it goes!
[Nexus 4 General] everett_psycho:
Tbh I must have sent my tweet about 5 times, the phone I was using just wouldn't behave then decided to send all the copies at once. It was swiftly followed by an apology as it spammed the hell out of my Facebook but I didn't care I just got a free TV out of it :D. You never know you might like Twitter, I wasn't convinced until I actually tried it
[Nexus 4 General] dee1979:
Just picked up the phone on contract have'nt opened it yet & Tweeted O2 hope to get the TV or it's going back...
[Nexus 4 General] mys3:
not sure if its ok to post but im going back to my note 2 so i have a 16gb available if anyone is interested. pm me if you are:good:
[Nexus 4 General] mrallen81:
Just pm you :rolleyes:

Sent from Nexus 4 only if Google move there ass!
[Nexus 4 General] [chris b]:
I didn't have a twitter until two days ago. I just followed a few people and had some friends follow me to make it look like I used it. Probably not even necessary to be honest.

They got back to me within a couple of hours, no questions asked.

The take up doesn't seem to be as fast as you think. If you get a phone today I'm sure you'll be ok. If not then just return the phone.
[Nexus 4 General] androidsnax:
I think they know there's something going on, but the girl I got mine from must have thought I was going to sell it on as she asked if I was actually going to use the phone!

I mentioned about the free tv thing but she didn't look like she got it at all...

Needless to say, got my phone no bother, couldn't wait Amy longer and returned my GN to Amazon, currently using the phone with the screen protector things still on and in my galaxy nexus tpu case (which fits quite well actually) until mine comes in the post... I'm out and about a lot for work so need something just in case!

Received Twit from o2 confirming I'll get a tv within 28 days so all good!

Plus a friends and family discount.... just hoping that counts when it comes to ending my contract early and paying it off...anyone had experience with that?

Thanks for this folks, would still be waiting for my google one if I hadn't been reading this thread! :)

Really don't know why so many of you are paying £100 extra. I will not give o2 or anyone else extra money.

Also anyone still got the page monitor on Google play?

They keep changing the page every day or so. Whats that about?

...the wait for new stock goes on ;__;

Think it does mate, they should send you another confirming.

I may be giving them extra, but in the end I'll get my phone for approx £90 assuming I sell the tv for 250 and the f&f discount works for early release from the contract...

I don't care if o2 get an extra 100 quid. :)

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 General] lombardo8:
I have never had this much good fortune before. It turns out it was a good thing my order went into limbo on Play Store

Phone price upfront: £180

Contract price: £10.50 x 24 = £252

One month bolt on = £3

Total = £435

Free TV: I have a buyer ready to pay £250

Open discount: £100 applied instore today

Total = £350

Total cost of Quad core Nexus 4 phone

£435 - £350 = £85!!!!!
[Nexus 4 General] everett_psycho:
Even without the discounts I got a £400 TV and a £280 phone for £432 at most and have the phone in hand with no stress of being in limbo with the play store. I don't feel like I've been cheated here, I'd feel more cheated had I bought from the play store and have no phone and still be looking to buy a TV separately.

I did read on avforums that is you pay odd your o2 contract in full you actually save a bit of cash as you don't pay vat on a service you never received
[Nexus 4 General] CharmingCharlie:
To avoid having to use Googles ****ty online store again I would say paying an extra 100 quid is a damn bargain. You obviously value the £100 greatly and willing to wait what could be months before you get the phone from Google. Me I budgeted £400 for my next phone, Google screwed it all up and O2 gave me sterling service when I went to buy the phone. I would say right now LG and O2 deserved my money, Google didn't after what happened on launch day.
[Nexus 4 General] dee1979:
WOO HOO! just got my e-mail from O2 to say the Tv will be with me within 28 days as long as i don't return the phone...
[Nexus 4 General] drpepe:
:laugh: can't argue with that really!
[Nexus 4 General] uberNoobZA:
I think a moderator should rename this thread to the 'UK O2 thread"

Personally, I feel it'is funny (and also sad at the same time) how many people on PAYG think they are 'entitled' to a free TV from O2, simply because O2 did not specifically say 'Contract customers only'. Just my opinion. Flame away - your flames will get lost in the flood of "free TV from O2" posts :p
[Nexus 4 General] lombardo8:
Jealous? Bitter?

Don't player hate, mate. You just need to participate!
[Nexus 4 General] LarsenB:
Yawn. You should be flamed for making no sense and no point.

Anyway, I'm 'entitled' because I entered before they posted proper t&c's on twitter. And because they has already confirmed I had successfully claimed 1. :p

Edit (Yeah, sounds like sour grapes)
[Nexus 4 General] seaempty:
Bah - just went to O2 on my lunchbreak, having checked the twitter feed constantly to make sure they had TVs left.

The lady in the shop refused to give me the phone on the £13.50pm contract, saying it wasn't available for that handset. Don't know if it's because I already have an existing contract with O2, but she also said I'd need to ring up customer services about it.

I would have argued more, but a) I had limited time, and b) she had big boobs.

Guess I'll just wait for the Play Store then :/
[Nexus 4 General] Tiddy_:
Anyone ordered the phone from Three at all? I went into the store earlier and they guys had no clue about the phone at all.
[Nexus 4 General] kaiowas82:
Mmmh....someone didn't get his TV :D

I'm on payg and I said that to them straight away, and they confirmed I'll be getting my TV, TWICE, TV that I've already sold for 300....so my nexus cost me a whopping 100£....

Flame away, I'd say...envy away :rolleyes:
[Nexus 4 General] wolfboy1984:
People are still claiming the last few TV's. Once they are gone the o2 TV chatter will die down. And one there is another main topic will emerge. Its a general thread remember?

Relax. Or go somewhere else.

[Nexus 4 General] kaiowas82:
Someone with an EE late enabled sim card can try to play a bit with the setting and letting us know if it works....not that I have big hopes, but is worth a try I think
[Nexus 4 General] everett_psycho:
Seeing as its a UK thread and you can only get one from o2 here because Google are being useless it makes sense that o2 is the main talking point. Come December 13th I'm sure people will talk about other things but its not like there's any other developments on availability on our little island at the moment to discuss here
[Nexus 4 General] :
So i just went to my local Carphone Warehouse to check out the N4 in person for the first time.

Its looks and feels so nice.

Didn't get to play with it for long, only a couple of minutes, because the alarm on it kept going off and there where two big security straps going over the screen.

I wish i hadn't gone and seen it now. I want it now. Hurry up Google and LG. Re-stock the play store please.
[Nexus 4 General] AngryRabidBadger:
Has anyone sorted out a UK power plug for the LG Wcp-700 yet? bit odd that it doesnt just take micro usb
[Nexus 4 General] Eliotus:
LOL, sorry your b) made me chuckle. Sorry to hear about your bad luck :\

I just went to an O2 on my lunch break. I was served by a really sound guy who had absolutely no idea about the deal, and it was apparently the last one in stock (they'd only originally got 3, but apparently scalpers bought the initial 2 on PAYG). Madness.

Quickly got it sorted out, now got both a Nexus 4 and my DM from o2's twitter about the TV. Happy days. Cheers for the pointers in here guys. :)
