Looking for a SIM-free 16GB Google Nexus 4? Here are a couple of places to go
Share:
Carphone Warehouse is offering the sizzling hot stock Android smartphone online (check the sourcelink) for a price of £389.95 ($621.11 USD) which is £110 ($175.21 USD) more than the price at the Google Play Store for the same exact phone. As we pointed out when discussing the possibility of buying the phone at a T-Mobile location that has stock, and paying $150 more than the price at the Google Play Store, you will have to decide how badly you want the device now. Eventually, the Google Nexus 4 will be back in stock at the Google Play Store, but the question is, when?
It is a classic case of supply and demand and right now Carphone Warehouse has the supply. Another place where you can actually grab the 16GB model of the Google Nexus 4 is eBay where a seller is offering the phone at a "Buy It Now" price of $649.99. The seller has a 100% positive feedback rating and has sold 19 units so far. At that price, you are paying $300 more than what the Google Play Store is charging for the model. Heck, you could buy a subsidized Samsung GALAXY Note II for the difference.

I'd rather wait a couple of weeks for it to be back on Play Store than pay 50% more hastily. It doesn't matter whether you get the device sooner or later as long as it is the same thing sold everywhere.

Its 85% more BTW. Just pointing out the poor math skills. 50% more would only be $525.

Well here in Pakistan it is available for about $480 but I'd probably end up buying S3 for that kind of money, though I hate Samsung's TouchWiz user interface as I think Vanilla Android is the sexiest interface ever.

I think it's Google's fault for not releasing this phone properly and drying up the supply. They are letting the consumers being blackmailed by the likes of T mobile. Google probably end up making the phone of the year and totally messed up the launch.

Sick world... this is so awesome to support greedy people. Who would buy Nexus 4 for almost twice the price for gods sake? You can have much batter device for that money. Better to wait till january 2013, hope it will be available by that time :)

It is a failure of Google play. Especialy choosing LG as the next nexus phone manufacturer. The stock was finished when it was launched. And it haven't got back yet.
