Nexus 4 sells out in less than 1hour in UK


Recommended Posts

android central doesnt say battery sucks. it says it not removable. iphone survived with all those.

like LTE is a big deal outside US. LTE is there pretty much in US and on verizon. this is GSM so no question of LTE yet.

good troll. why are you getting butt hurt because your wp didnt sell like this.

And who the hell told you I own a Windows Phone? I do not. FYI, I have an iPhone 4S, Android HTC Inspire before that. Never a Windows phone.

What do most people who own smart phones like this do with it?

1. Take pictures and videos to share on their stupid social networks. So this phone is useless for that.

2. Ineffective voice dialing - I guess you are screwed if you wanna go hands-free while driving.

3. Slow Data speeds - well there goes your Facebook surfing and everything else internet related.

1. Useless? I wouldn't go as far as saying its useless. Have you see any HD clips and pictures taken by Nexus 4?

2. When I'm driving I would prefer not call anybody because of safety. If you are THAT into hands-free while driving....heh

3. Wow so slow so sad! BTW what speed you are having now?

iPhone!

That explains it.

BTW HSPA+21 is still faster than your iPhone 4S.

I never said my iPhone was better. What I am saying is, there are better Android alternatives out there such as the Galaxy S3, that's what I am saying. Not once did I mention that the iPhone or Windows phone for that matter, is better in any way. We are talking Android, not iPhone or Windows phone.

O a Samsung fan? Please tell me how much Galaxy S3 costs? Retail price please, not subsidized price.

If I'm going to spend $$$ on an Android phone, I might as well get the best of the best with everything, including an SD card slot for expansion. That's just me.

Those who get the Nexus 4 will regret it later when they fill their phone up with apps and garbage and find themselves without any more space to store stuff at.

Maybe those who don't know what they are buying.

I'm sure some people carry over 20GB of music around but I have a Nexus S with 16GB and so far have never run out of space.

If you need more storage then just go with another phone, but if you don't then you can get a really good phone for cheap here.

Heck, you can buy both a Nexus4 and a Nexus7 for the same money you'd have to spend to get a Galaxy SIII.

I'm sure the regret will come before that, when they'll flip the phone on the table by mistake while playing angry birds and the glass will crack.

to sell out this fast, there must have been line ups? The same people that say "people lining up to buy iphones are stupid" are the same people lining up to buy a nexus. :) hypocrites

A line up to buy online? Well, polling a web page and standing for hours in front of a physical store is hardly the same thing, more so when you can even automate the former or just wait for Google's mail notification.

Don't know you can line up on teh interwebz.

Learned a new thing today, thanks.

If you want to read a better review of the Nexus 4, I'd suggest this one:

According to all of the reviews I have seen, at this moment in time the differences in speed between HSDPA and LTE are currently not that great as most networks haven't fully rolled it out so the N4's lack of LTE support isn't as much of a killer issue as that PC mag editor makes it out to be.

Curious that the same limitation doesn't seem to bother you when buying an iPhone. Could it be that you're just complaining for the sake of having something to complain about? In general terms Android apps tend to be smaller than iPhone apps.

due to glitching, people were sitting in front of their computers for hours.... hence... "the line up" lol

And even that's not available now.

Or apparently not since I just bought one after several tries :woot:

Got the bumper now too after several tries on that :D

With everything having a cloud service now, 8GB is more than enough for me. If I turn off caching on Google Play music, I'm down to just over 3GB used.

As glitched as the process was due to the load surge or whatever, considering Nexus 4 was sold out in about 20 minutes you could hardly spend "hours" there.

And anyway the glitches and delays were obviously not expected by those going to buy the phone, much unlike the queues on Apple stores where you know very well long before that you'll be standing there for hours waiting... not to speak that you don't even have to go out to buy online.

I mean, really, those two have nothing to do with each other.

Didn't have any luck with the 16GB, but I'm not sure it's "sold out" as you can get the add to cart button to appear sometimes and check out with it still after several tries.

    • Didn’t Dbrand once complain that Casetify was ripping off their designs a well? seems pretty bad of them to try and get around Valve’s copyright this way with that in mind.
    • Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed by David Uzondu Image via Dbrand Dbrand has cancelled its highly anticipated Companion Cube enclosure for the Valve Steam Machine, which it teased back in November of last year with a concept render and sign-up page, because it did not ask Valve for permission first before manufacturing the case. According to Dbrand, it took the "backwards approach" of building the product first before asking for permission from the copyright holder. Seven months of work went into the project, requiring over a thousand engineering hours from the design team. Workers developed forty-four sets of injection molding tools, making a unique mold for each sub-component of the crate. When the Companion Cube went live on Monday last week, it, according to Dbrand, quickly became the second-fastest-selling product in the company's fifteen-year history, racking up orders for hundreds of thousands of units. Customers eagerly bought the $129.95 deluxe edition or the bare-bones $99.95 version, which the manufacturer cheekily branded as the "Poverty Cube". It was around this time that the legal eagles at Valve descended on the accessory maker with a formal demand. The developer pointed out that the iconic block design remains protected intellectual property from the game Portal, so unlicensed sales had to stop. Dbrand said that all its pleas to salvage the project with the Valve team, including proposals to run a properly licensed release under official terms "with their blessing", fell on deaf ears, so it had no choice but to obey and remove every trace of the product from the internet. If you bought the enclosure, the company said that banks will process your refund by the end of this week, but if it still hasn't arrived in your account by then, you should not hesitate to contact support. The Steam Machine itself is a high-performance console that Valve designed directly to bring PC gaming into the living room. It was announced on 12th November 2025 (the same day Dbrand announced the Cube) and runs on the Linux-based SteamOS, the same OS that powers the Steam Deck. As for the price, due to the shortage of memory and storage chips, the hardware cost landed much higher than people were expecting, starting at $1,049 for the 512 model (without a controller) or $1,128 with the new gamepad. The premium 2 TB model pushes those prices even higher, selling at $1,349 for the standalone console and hitting $1,428 if you want the bundle.
    • It's listed #399.99 on Amazon, per your link. It's not $299.99.
