As what most had mentioned, the back of the phone is really very nice looking

I don't really care for their excuses. More is always better, and it's not like people are not willing to pay. Just look at the 32gb Nexus 7.

Brother, kindly read tis acticle:

Google's Nexus 4 could trigger a price war: are smaller Android makers doomed?

Nexus 4 is honestly a good phone with impressive specs apart from the lack of the micro sd expansion!

 

[OrcsKiller]

Problem is how to import from overseas?

Dun need to depend on local retailers. They sure have a high mark-up.

Didn't know having sd expansion slot requires licences.

Doesn't change a thing. They will most probably still release a 32gb version not too long after, and early adopters will still be pissed off.

And if you know the history of Nexus handsets, then you should also know very well that they are never best sellers, even compared to those from smaller manufacturers. Just look at the Galaxy Nexus and Samsung. It should sell like crazy, but obviously it didn't.

It doesn't. They're talking about the exfat file system that MS owns, but isn't even essential to using a sdcard slot in the first place. FUD all around.

 

[Golden_Fox]

Will telco bring this in?

 

[shawniiex]

Will telco bring this in?

eventually yes, but no one has ANY clue when.
sad case with nexus devices. it isn't like S3/Note/iPhone where everyone is so excited and there are massive queues...

Such a stupid thing really.

oki here's an update on bro hiragawa mention the charges to
bring nexus4 ship to sg

1. service fee is USD5 or 5% per merchant invoice, whichever is higher
2. google play shipping cost is 13.99usd
3. then ship to sg 1kg sgd30
4. cost insurance and freight is more than 400, need to pay 7% gst.

thus total cost is e.g 8GB nexus4

= [(299usd + 13.99usd) x 1.23sgd + 30sgd] x 1.07 + [(0.05x(299+13.99))] x 1.23sgd
= 463.27sgd

I counted by your estimate I worked out the 16GB model to be around $530. Not a bad deal.

considering that a note 2 would cost at least 900 now.

but no warranty leh....
if $530, how much will the telcos price it sia.

 

[OrcsKiller]

$530 is a lot cheaper compared to s3 or note 2.

Quite tempted to get this phone even though I hv fruit 5 n note 2 lte.

Note 2 lte still costs $970 or more.
