Nexus 4 $299 (8GB) | $349 (16GB) -- STILL AVAILABLE!

Nexus 4 $299 (8GB) | $349 (16GB) Live at 12:00pm PST Today

Nexus 4 will be available for purchase later today!
Order yours from Google Play starting today, November 27 at 12:00 noon PST (U.S. only).

Linky

Things to do (Thanks zklopman):
(1) set up a CC in Google Wallet in advance
(2) be sure you are logged in google wallet
(3) be on the page of the model you want to buy.
(4) purchase with google wallet
(5) Preferred Google Chrome (Safari will not work)

Once it's in your cart, keep hitting the tab button until "proceed" is selected, then hold enter for awhile..
Then you'll see a blue spinning circle, and a Google Wallet popup window opens for checkout, asking for billing address and shipping info.

I hope I can get one this time. I waited all day the last time.

It is a smartphone. Probably the best smartphone you can buy today. Yes, better than the iPhone 5.

Yes, no contract (hence the clamoring for people to buy it - the price is incredible). Also, it's pentaband, meaning it will work on 4G HSPA+ on any GSM carrier in the world (no LTE, but who needs it with 8mbps down).

I don't understand why the Mods insist that this deal is "expired" since the items show as out of stock now.

Yeah, It's not expired.... I hasn't started yet.

Unlocked phones for a reasonable price are a very good deal. It helps those of us in perpetual 2 year contracts to end them.

What's the best strategy to get one: go the Google Play at noon PST and press refresh a thousand times until the Buy button is available?

I think we're going to have to agree to disagree on this being MSRP. The only way to get a Nexus 4 for $300/350(+shipping) is through Google. If you purchase anywhere else it's substantially more. LG has a "recommended retail price of €599"(~$776.40) according to this article. Google is either selling @ cost or maybe even a loss. If $300/350 were MSRP, we'd see that price reflected else where besides Google's Play store. So far that doesn't seem to be the case.

You won't find this for $300/350 off contract outside the Play store right now, and probably not any time soon.

And it's a hot deal because there is a red "Hot" label on the title . Now for the countdown...

Let me get this clear, it's a retail price & it's not in deal discussion ?? How is retail a hot price ??

Its past noon and its still showing out of stock

Noon PST

But that is how you value a hot deal, no? How much it is worth on the open market. If you think getting it below MSRP is a hot deal, I have a website for you, it's called Amazon....it seems everything there is below MSRP. Have fun!

No, sleazy reselling doesn't make it a hot deal. I bet though you'll be full with those chargebacks from the real scammers. Have Fun.

Agree and so do most people posting to this thread. Happy the moderators cleaned up the trolls.

If it's anything like the last time, be there 30 minutes before noon because that's when they'll start.
other things to do:

(1) set up a CC in Google Wallet in advance
(2) be sure you are logged in google wallet
(3) be on the page of the model you want to buy.
(4) purchase with google wallet
(5) there are claims that last time access via chrome was much easier. I do not know if that is true, but it cannot harm.

this way, when you get the page, you will have minimal interaction and as few possible places as possible to be disconnected. I purchased last time and I did all of the above (including being there 25 minutes before .

Did you have to f5 like a mad man for 30min or did it refresh when it became live?

I did not have to refresh like mad - since I set up my google wallet 25 minutes before the expected time, when I got to #3 it was already available.

So I am currently a Tmobile customer. If I get this phone will it work with tmoble? Can I just remove my sim chip from my current phone and then insert it into the N4 and it'll work just like that or wil I have to bring it into a Tmobile store to get it activated? I currently am using a MyTouch 4 g. Thank you.

Order limit = 5. Phone will work with T-Mobile.

VBMcGB said:   Hey there everybody, just to clarify what's going on here, I moved this to Expired because it was listed as OOS. However, since the deal isn't supposed to start until Noon PST, I've moved it back to HD for exposure.

Feel free to discuss the merits of this upcoming deal. The more detailed and supported the better. While doing so, please refrain from personal commentary. Thanks! And good luck!

You mean no flaming the moderator?

I bought 2 8GB units the last time around. This is what it shows for me today for the 8GB version:

Thank you for your previous order. You have reached the limit for this item.
