Want to buy the Google Nexus 4? The Google Play Store suggests you buy it from T-Mobile
Share:
The interesting, and certainly frustrating thing is that if you click on the link from the Google Play Store, you are sent to a T-Mobile web page for the 16GB Google web site that shows the phone as being sold out. So in effect, you are going from a site which lists the 16GB Google Nexus 4 as being sold out, to another site for the 16GB Google Nexus 4 that shows the phone as being sold out.
Eventually, inventory will be replenished at both the Google Play Store and the T-Mobile website. But what you can do if waiting for an unknown date in the future is not an option, is call the T-Mobile locations in your area to see if any of them have the device in stock. If they do, you will have the choice of getting locked up with the carrier for two-years at the aforementioned $199 after-rebate price,or pay $499 for an unlocked model with no handcuffs. That is $150 more than the $349 you would pay at the Google Play Store for the same exact phone. But you know what they say about a bird in the hand.

Tmobile should have made this phone free on contract.

I'd buy a Nexus. Just not an LG for the rest of my life. Time after time my LG's were junk and for the last time I vowed never to buy another LG. May be a good phone, but I do not support LG anymore.

If the price was 99$ or even 149$ with contract, I think many will go for T-Mobile one. But 199$ after rebate is like rip-off, imho..

I don't think TMobile should be a "contract" carrier anymore. Their service is worse than that of some prepaid companies. Trololol

I'm going to be honest, I'm a little hesitant to get this because lg. Their phones aren't that good. When working android/BlackBerry tech support I saw lots of lg. Replaced LOTS of lg. For hardware issues, camera, screen, sound i just don't believe they make that great of product.
The sweet price... That's another thing, and causes me to at least give this handset a look

I would like it to be available without a carrier. I will have to keep checking back to see when stock is available without contract.

What p**** is trolling? Seriously, thumbs down to every comment at the same time? Childish.

A little strange Ravail was the only one comment without a thumbs down. Interesting....
