Is the extra 8gb for $50 worth it? Having a hard time deciding how likely it is to make a difference..

Would one be able to attach a USB drive via an OTG cable as one can with the Nexus 7? Is it too early to tell? Might take care of the no-SD card issue for music storage so it could work for me

No midnight availability. Thanks for having me stay up OP. Waste of time.

dame it waste of my time

I saw this post before on some other forums, seems like it's really popular

come on, do some investigation before this *funny* comment. It is 299/349 euros, tax (usually 20%) included.

No, it will not work on Pageplus. You need a GSM (but any) GSM network: tmobile, at&t, Straight Talk, ect.

Does it work with T-Mobile 4G? I was told T-Mobile HSPA+ is same as t0mobile 4G. My question is can I use my $30 unlimited data text plan with this phone?

I have also heard Staples will be carrying these units instore.

Other Stores

My apologies, maybe it's only in Spain then. LG Pricing in Spain

The article also states Belgium (where I live) will probably fall in line with other European retailers. Germany has already announced it will be 395 euros ($500 as of today)

Is it safe to assume that I can tether this phone, in spite of not paying the $15/month, by using Quick Settings or another similar app? I really only use tethering in "emergency" situations such as when my home internet goes down and I need to send a few emails off my computer.

I'm sure Tmobile might decide to ban my account for doing this, but if I don't abuse it, it shouldn't be likely.

Also, if they do ban me, I can presumably just get a new SIM and put that in my phone on a new account. Unlike a CDMA phone, the ESN shouldn't get locked to my banned account.

Anyone know?
Most of the recent problems seem to be from Samsung and ICS. From what I've read there will probably not be a problem with the Google Nexus and using something like FoxFi or another tethering app.

Yes you will be able to tether. I use my rooted tmobile phone to tether my Nexus 7.
In this scenario I don't see how you can get caught - any traffic inspection they are going to do will inidcate android type browser and traffic.
For laptop tethering I do an SSL or VPN link layer so the traffic is encrypted so again no windows browser identifiers...

LOL, up during midnight for Nexus phones?

Sure don't want to miss this.

Paranoid nerd....Nexus 4 is nice...but it won't sell out....it's not iPhone....it's LG that will be outdated at end of 2013 due to lack of LTE...will have tp spend money again for LTE upgrade next year.

I am waiting for unlocked LTE version of Note 2 go on a sale.

Yeah, perhaps it's just those crazy Brits... Nexus 4 Sold out

Granted, LTE is few and far between in Europe right now.

Why would you stay up to order LG phone? People in Korea would be rolling on floor if they knew you would stay up all night to wait for LG phone. LG phone gets no respect in Korea....just like it will be here. There will be no shortage...so wait for T-Mobile stores to carry it in their store this weekend. Play with it before you get buyer's remorse.

perhaps, but I don't see what the rush is

it still just a phone --- I can wait a few weeks to see how the market shakes out

Exactly ...not sure, why would I want to make me go through this rush. I would rather wait for some feedback. As you said, it's a phone; I can wait few more weeks; if it's not available right away, when I decide to buy.

RockLegend said:   This phone will be sold out in minutes...

Very optimistic...but don't bet on it. I have seen how fast LTE is compared to 3G...People who have experienced LTE will not get non LTE phone. This phone would have been a hit in 2011, but in 2013 it will be a value phone...price will drop to $249 or less. Not having LTE will hurt sales in 2013.

Oh, I think not.

Read the article carefully...only 8gb version sold out because of value price. However, the article doesn't say how many 8gb version was available for sale. From what I read, Google does not make too much profit on 8gb version and therefore, google may have made more of 16gb version. Regardless, LTE network is not set up in UK....so this phone should be more popular in Europe. Mark my words...this phone will be $249 in 6 months for US consumers.
