Google shipping is really super Cui. Amazon shopping to the same location is faster.

Should be the same bah... I ordered from Amazon before, also using UPS ground shipping but no such problems :(

Anyone here using a powerbank that is good one? I want to buy one but scared buy some cheap cheap lan lan one. Thomson one good one not ah? :s11:

Btw for those looking to RMA the phone that I got thru RMA was not brand new I think is they repair other ppls RMA phone then send over one :(

I'm using this one:
$16.11 JIB L8400 "8400mAh" Portable External Backup Battery Power Bank with LED Illumination - white / real capacity 6200mAh / 2*USB port / with adapters at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

It's really good, it even has a separate usb plug for fast charging (tablets and iPad). 6000mah for $20 sg is a great bargain.

Hi people. I am thinking of getting this Nexus 4 instead of waiting for the Nexus 5.

Does the Nexus 4 now come with ANdroid 4.3? Is it laggy?

I might be getting the nexus 4 8GB for $309. Am I getting ripped off or is it a good deal?

please advise.

Android 4.3 is available for Nexus 4. No lag for me so far.

I assume you will be buying from "theopensurface". $309 in my opinion is a very good deal. Cost of the phone plus shipping after conversion is already close to $300 and need to wait for a week plus. Furthermore they let you test the phone on the spot and will change another set if there is any problem as per describe in their thread.

Goode deal definitely if 8gb (usable 5.67gb) is enough for you.

Can upload pictures and don store insane amount of music/movies, sure can.

I got a 16gb, usable 12gb+
Apps+data (games etc) restore and A nandroid backup for me required 3.9gb

a day definitely no problem.
Regardless of extensive usage or not for the day, I always charged from 40% or less daily and enough to last me to the next charge, having said that, the 1 full day including sleep mode from 11pm to 7am when I am sleeping.

30dollars extra for their service. you see if it's worth it or not. The 8gb total cost with shipping should be around SGD280 max, should be few dollars lesser than that.

Bad thing is no LTE.

I guess problem is that the 8gb is currently oos lor. Anyone may have the slightest idea when or if Google will be restocking on the 8gb?

rumours said it's fully cleared, preparing for nexus 5 soon.

Check with The OpenSurface via Facebook, they may still have some stocks.

The 8gb will most likely not be re-stocked.

How do you know your RMA replacement set is refurbished? The replacement set I received looks like it is new.

Before I did a RMA, I enquired about this and the following was what I received from Google Support:


Thank you for your reply. I can see how you would be concerned about getting a refurbished device. Rest assured you will get a new device right out of the box.

Please feel free to contact me again if you have any other questions.
