Nexus 4 pricing has dropped by $100!!!
https://play.google.com/store/devices/details?id=nexus_4_8gb

8GB: $199
16GB: $249

There is no better phone near those prices...Those in the USA, if you were looking to ditch contract plans of Verizon, AT&T, or Sprint for T-Mobile, now is the time.

***EDIT***
The official Google Play Twitter account has just confirmed the "25% off or more" sale for the Nexus 4 is active in Australia, Canada, Germany, Spain, Korea, US and UK.

**UPDATE #1**
8GB model is now officially OOS in the US and won't be replenished.

**UPDATE #2**
16GB model is now officially OOS in the US and won't be replenished.

Wow. That's a deal. I bought mine when it was new.
It might be that Google is coming out with a new Nexus phone soon.

This is what I've been waiting for.. 2.5 years (non-contract) with an Exhibit II 4G on T-Mobile... feeling so slow these days even with CM10. I can do without external mSD this deal is smoking for those specs.

Nooo! I just upgraded my Exhibit II to a Nexus 4 a couple weeks ago. Figures it would drop by $100.

Did you order it direct from Google? They will credit you if you bought it just before the drop.

Another thing to keep in mind, I was hoping I could just drop my SIM from T-Mobile in and go but the Exhibit II has a miniSIM and the N4 a MicroSIM. There are templates for cutting the mini down to size which I might resort to if the T-Mobile guy charges for transfers.

I wish they would drop the price of the wireless induction charger. I have an off brand charger and it works but it's hit or miss since the phone will only charge if it's placed on the charger in a specific position.

That thing IMHO is a POS, mine doesn't work half the time, and close to half of the time my phone won't stay on it. This is the best looking worst designed product ever. 9/10 nights when I'd use it, 30 minutes after I put it on it and went to bed I'd hear a clunk. Sure enough, the phone fell off. I tried every positioning I could think of, cleaned the back of my phone with solution, nothing ever worked.

So it sounds like your off brand is no worse than the real deal. Maybe I got a lemon, but I googled and there are a good number of people who have the same issues that I do.

Looks tempting, seems like Tmobile may have them in stores so I can do a hands on look.

No MicroSD slot?
Too bad if it won't accept my existing old style sim with a year of prepaid still on it.

There are way too many SIM versions but check this out. I'm going to take mine to a local T-Mobile kiosk and see if they can copy it over (I know AT&T can do stuff like that) and if not just cut it down to size LOL.

Take the risk and cut it down.
