[Deal Alert] The T-Mobile Nexus 4 Is In Stock And Just $149.99 With Free Shipping At Wirefly - Almost Worth The Two-Year Contract

Posted by in LG, News, Nexus 4, T-Mobile

We know, we know - the Nexus 4 is still awfully hard to come by. If you haven't already rushed to your nearest Best Buy, you might want to run over to WireFly, where T-Mobile's version of the N4 is just $149.99. That's $50 less than T-Mobile's retail price, and the lowest we've ever seen for the 8GB model. The deal is good both for new contracts and 2-year renewals. FedEx shipping is free.

Of course, that contract means that this still isn't practical for those who want an unlocked model. If you're hoping to avoid signing on the dotted line, your best bet is still to wait out Google and LG's current supply issues.

[Update: Get It Now!] The Nexus 4 Has Popped Up On Best Buy's Website - Handsets On The Way?

Posted by in News, Nexus 4

Update: The Best Buy page is live and taking orders right now - estimated shipping is 3-5 days. No sign of handsets being sold in-store, unfortunately (no in-store pickup either).

If you're one of many of us in the US still seeking out a Nexus 4, it appears another purchasing option may be springing up shortly, at everyone's favorite defunct-business-model brick and mortar electronics retailer. That'd be Best Buy, in case the allusion wasn't clear, where a listing for the newest Nexus handset has just appeared.

The caveat, though, is that it seems this is going to be a contractually-shackled version of the Nexus 4, on T-Mobile.

Nexus 4 To Go On Sale In Australia At Harvey Norman Stores On February 1, Available With Or Without Optus Plan

Posted by in LG, News, Nexus 4

While those in the land down under can already purchase a Nexus 4 from the Play Store, like every other market, handsets are in decidedly short supply. However, LG is now saying that it will be shipping some devices to Harvey Norman, available starting February 1st. The catch? Buying one outright will cost you 496 AUD.

hn

There is an alternative, though. "Select" HN stores will be offering the Nexus 4 with an Optus plan (see site here). Again, that's only an option in-store, beginning February 1st. The lowest tariff you'll be able to get away with without having to pay a handset repayment fee is the 60 AUD tier.

The Nexus 4 Is Back In Stock Online At T-Mobile.com (For Now)

Posted by in LG, News, Nexus 4, T-Mobile

Have you got a case of the Nexus 4 blues? Unfortunately, it’s still out of stock in the Play Store. We know from a recent interview that LG is citing underestimated demand as the reason for the phone’s seemingly endless unavailability. That’s something Google CEO Larry Page says the company is working on. But if you want a Nexus 4 right now in the States, there is another option, as long as you’re willing to sign a contract with a carrier.

The Nexus 4 is back in stock online, through T-Mobile, after being sold out for weeks. It's now been several hours, but the Add To Cart button is still there - a refreshing development considering recent shortages.

Redditor Translates LG France Exec Interview, Revelations About The Nexus 4 Launch And Supply Problems

Posted by in Android OS, LG, News, Nexus 4

Since day one of availability, everyone's question about the Nexus 4 launch has been - in essence - what went wrong? Well, a lot of things. But number one on that list has been the very limited supply of phones available for purchase.

Recently, LG's head of mobile in France Cathy Robin was interviewed by French publication Challenges, shedding some light on the availability issue. Now, you could read a Google translation, but we all know how that goes - things get lost. Fortunately, Reddit user floflo81 has actually posted a human-translated version of the interview, which you can read here.

The Tylt Vu Qi Wireless Charger We Loved At CES Is Being Released On April 1st For $70

Posted by in Accessories, News, Nexus 4

Sure, the Tylt Vu sort of looks like it was custom-tailored for a Windows Phone 8 device, but it's also officially our favorite Qi charger after seeing it at CES last week. If you've never used a wireless charger, it's probably not immediately apparent why the Vu is particularly want-worthy. But have no doubt - it is.

The Vu has two distinct advantages over competing chargers. First, it's also a phone stand - you can set your phone on the Vu, and still use it like you would a normal dock, because you can still actually see your phone's screen without having to strain your neck.

T-Mobile Stores To Carry Nexus 4 In All Retail Locations Starting Some Time In January

Posted by in News, Nexus 4

It certainly seems like Google and LG have been ramping up production of the Nexus 4 after the initial launch left countless customers without a phone. While it's still unclear if they've made enough to meet worldwide demand, there will at least be one group that will finally have complete representation: T-Mobile stores! Back in November, the company picked up Google's latest flagship handset online and in 'select stores.' As of some undisclosed time this month, however, all retail locations will carry the Nexus 4.

It doesn't look like anything related to device subsidies or contract requirements are going to change, despite a brief scare in December when the on-contract price shot up to $400.

Nexus 4 Bumpers Are Back In Stock On The U.S. Play Store - Grab One Before They're Gone Again

Posted by in News, Nexus 4

When the Nexus 4 was officially launched, it sold out quickly. A couple weeks later, Google re-opened the orders for another go. It went a little bit smoother the second time, but users were left waiting anywhere between two to eight weeks to get their glorious N4s. During all of this, though, the official bumper cases were sold out basically the entire time. Some users were able to grab one during the initial order process, but that's the extent of it - they've been out of stock ever since.

They're finally back now (on the U.S. Play Store, anyway. Something tells me they'll be gone again shortly, so you better hurry and jump on it if you plan on picking one up.

Some Enterprising XDA Users Get LTE Working On The Nexus 4 For AT&T In The U.S. - On One Band In Few Markets

Posted by in News, Nexus 4

Before you get too excited, let's start with the disclaimers. For starters, while yes, some users over on XDA managed to get LTE service working in very select AT&T markets, this probably won't work in your area. Also, this is not the intended use of your phone, so if you're not comfortable screwing with radios on your phone, you should probably skip the whole freaking out thing.

attlten4 attlten42 attlten43

So, here's how it goes. The Nexus 4 technically "doesn't" have support for LTE in that it does support certain bands due to the default hardware present in the Optimus G that this handset is based on, but it lacks the capability to utilize most major bands (there are 25 separate LTE bands).  If you're on AT&T and you're using LTE, chances are you're connected via band 17, which operates on the 700 MHz frequency.
