Looks like battery life would be very similar to Galaxy Nexus with extended battery. A bit disappointed to read that the charging time is still 2-3 hrs.

If u read through then u see he never account for the non-US credit card being an obstacle.

Anyone interested to get 16 GB nexus 4 from me? But I will only be back in SG on 22nd December.

If you are interested, pm me and quote me a price.

I am getting 2 units, 1 for myself, 1 to sell.

Guarantee working set. I can take video of your phone working and send it to you (if you want).

Remember! you will not get the phone as soon as others, but I can guarantee your phone is working. Because I am in USA and if the phone is faulty i can just return it to them. =)

bro, asking.. if i buy directly from us, then take home by plane. when in changi, will there be any checking? how if the phone is still sealed on the box? please help. afraid if i take home, then there is sudden checking in the airport.

not to splash water to anybody doing MO...but i think it's better to buy it for yourself...the idea of getting a google nexus 4 is so that you can get an affordable unlocked high-end phone..

some of the MO's price for the 16gb (SGD600) just borderline on ridiculous.......i assure you ppl that if you are more daring and try to import yourself.....the price total is more near the high SGD400 or low SGD500....

also, the idea of asking hardware warranty can be thrown out the window as you are import a device...if LG can honour international warranty (like ASUS), then great...if not, doesn't matter...that's the caveat of doing international import. Deal with it and don't be a pu55y of worrying what if your device is lost, malfunctioned, etc. If you wanna import, that's the risk that you HAVE to take and nobody is gonna to babysit you through that.

The idea of importing and getting the device first from US is only for Tech Enthusiasts. Don't get 'caught in the hype' and buy stuff without knowing what you want and regret later.

Some may not like my tone but i feel too many ppl are getting 'caught in the hype' without knowing what you are buying. Do you research well and understand before you commit.

Peace.

i agree with you but not with price though. no way the phone will reach here at less than 400. likely more to be mid 550. the key is, if one wants the phone be prepared to pay and face the risks.

i am not stopping anyone if they chose go to the red lane hehe

besides, vyers07 was wondering about checks which i supposed he did not intend to declare or whoever is buying for him.

He won't have to worry unless vyers07 is buying so many units that exceed that SGD 600.

According to the custom's rules, it's allowed and not taxable.
