Nexus 4 Price drop - Now $199 and $249

I got Google to refund me $106 because I just bought a 16GB one about a week ago. :)

I'm really excited to see android 5.0
 
If you use T-Mobile and get good service LTE doesn't even matter. I get around 24Mbs using T-Mobiles $30 a month plan where I live. The camera could be better but its not so bad its unusable. I don't take a ton of picture with my phone so the camera is not that important to me but for a $199 phone unlocked it sure isn't that bad.
 
$250 and $300 here in Australia, down from $350/$400. Great price for a phone that's still quite powerful and will get updated for some time.
 
I smell nexus 5 in the wind:D. Seriously that price is extremely tempting i'm starting to contemplate getting the 16GB to go alongside the note III.
 
So tempted to get this and sell GS3 just to have something new at almost no cost.

Has anyone owned both? I'm concerned with non-expandable storage and battery dying midday...

I run CM10.1 at "full power" (leave brightness up, gps on, bluetooth on, etc) and often do a battery swap mid-afternoon

Edit- guess storage really isn't that important. I can switch my card to my Nook HD+ and have my photos and stuff there.... My main concern would be battery and camera quality (only as a comparison to GS3)

Shucks, I won't be here before my vacation. How can I get one locally? I could do an Internet Fight at Fry's.

Chances are none of the retail locations are going to drop their prices for a while (if at all), so a price match is really your only hope.
 
$199/249 off contract. U also know nexus 4 will get at least another 12 months of official updates from google.

Quite a bargain especially for the prepaid market.
 
As much as I want one, need to convince myself to wait for a refresh announcement. Had one when it first came out and really enjoyed the phone, except for the subpar camera and lack of storage (maybe a 32GB option for the next N4/5?)

Resale value of N4 are dropping like bricks...
 
I owned the nexus 4 twice.

Was hoping white nexus 4 was available but I don't see the white nexus online.

I just leave HDR mode on and the pics come out much better.
 
I was just about to post about it. price can't get better than this, contract free.

anybody interested in ANdroid should buy this. its factory unlocked, carrier bloat free and you will receive updates straight from google.

2gb ram and quad core cpu makes it crazy fast phone. if you aren't ready to switch to android, it still makes a good backup/experimental phone.
 
It's been almost a year since the Nexus 4 was released and on eBay (my country) I see them selling for just 50$ off their original price. Buyers are so stupid. It's their fault prices are still that high for a second hand device from last year.

Hopefully now prices will go even lower, where they should be by now: 100$ less.
 
As I recall the Galaxy nexus price was dropped in June 2012 after Google I/O when they introduced the original nexus 7.

And the nexus 4 wasn't released till mid Nov 2012.

So don't hold your breathe thinking the new generation nexus will be released "soon".

Still looking at around 3 months time frame. (In my opinion).
