Lol... Fat Hope. That won't Happen. Singapore using Band 3 and 7. The nexus 4 uses Band 4 and some other. + i can tell you the Telco here will sell it at markup price. Not worth. just buy from Google itself.

Interesting. I didnt know about this band thingy. This n4 using the same band as GNex? Because I remember Stinktel sold GNex for a short period of time.

Hm, the Band thing is for LTE only. This phone works on Singapore GSM, don't worry. Just that THE HSPDA SPEED SUX!

Ah... okay, you guys were referring to LTE. Okay, that cleared the confusion now. Actually I am not so keen on 4g, I will still stay in GSM.

Oh well, Singapore always backwards. 3g is 2g speed, 4g is 3g speed. :s8::s8::s8:

I'm quite content with 3G speeds to be honest, i just need the reception, i do light browsing of forums and webpages only.

BUT THE THING IS SOMETIMES DON'T EVEN HAVE RECEPTION!
AND OUR GOD DAMN COUNTRY IS SO SMALL COMPARED TO USA AND FREAKING SOUTH KOREA.

Hi guys, some speed test for Nexus 4 VS Samsung Galaxy S2. Both are connected to the same server (Singapore Singtel~6.25km), have the same carrier (Sh*tel) and i tested them at around peak hour near sembawang MRT.

Images are in the Spoiler tag, its pretty obvious which is the SGS2 and which is the Nexus 4. Both phones are stock, no ROMs are flashed and ive noticed a trend, the Nexus 4 download speed is always faster than the SGS2 by around 2mbps or so. But the upload speed varies. Dont know why.

As for those problems that other people are facing, e.g. Screens that are easily scratched, Phone gets hot, yellow tint when hot etc etc, i have fortunately not experienced them yet (Yes im using my Phone naked, but not for long). But there is one annoying thing about the phone IMO. The wake button isnt solid enough for me. Especially coming from a SGS2, When i press the wake button, it feels.. Weird.. Not Solid enough if that's the right word for it.

Me too.. but nice thing is Google just emailed that shipment will be out by this week. . Late but better than none. .

I just got the following from the big G


Your Nexus 4 order is scheduled to ship this week. We’ll send you a notification, including tracking information, when it’s on the way.

Please note that your order will be charged in full when it ships. *As a courtesy and to thank you for your patience, you’ll then receive a credit for the shipping charge within 7 business days.

8GB version :o

In guess you don't have much games/ media on the phone? It's about 5GB+ left right?
