Honestly if you haven't tried Android yet this is the device to do it with. Really shows off what the system is capable of.
Is it really preferable, hardware-wise, to something like the HTC One? That is, assuming the user is capable of flashing the HTC One with a third-party firmware to get a vanilla Android experience. Is there a draw to the Nexus in comparison to the likes of the One other than being vanilla out of the box?
Oh wow, the N4 was already the best value on the market - very powerful device for a very low price. Now the price is ridiculous... I have my N4 since the beginning of the year and I love it.

It isn't the most powerful Android phone out there, but it does run stock, has regular updates, will run third party ROMs, and is absolutely the best value for an out of contract smart phone, even more so with the $100 price drop.

Anyways, for $10 more you can get 2.5 GB of 4G data, which should suffice for anyone.

I went through the same thing, correcting everyone with "the next Nexus 4 will be Nexus 4 again, not Nexus 5" And then I read some rumors saying it will have a full 5" screen. We'll see.
Sigh, this is exactly backwards from where I want flagship Android phones going. It follows the typical tech trend of "bigger, better, faster", but I miss the small size of the Nexus One. None of the Nexus devices fit in the pockets of the clothes of women I know. (First world problems, yes, but I wish I could recommend an Android device to them that they could carry around without having to use a purse. It doesn't h…

Yup. I upgraded to a Nexus 4 from a Nexus S recently and the Nexus 4 is a much nicer device and the Android experience is great: fast, smooth & pretty. It has to be hands down the best value smartphone on the market at this price (it was already great value at $100 more).
Damn I just bought one at regular price lol. Nexus 4, if you build your own o/s is amazing fast. Runs SEAndroid like a charm too, you can lockout audio, camera and mic whenever not in use
$100 refund by the looks of it.
You'll have to wade through the support prompts, but start at:

and click 'Contact Us' to get to the form.
Edit: you'll need the order number and the device IMEI

The ZTE Open (which is not a developer preview) hit in the US a couple of weeks ago for $80. Unfortunately, it is now sold out. http://stores.ebay.com/ztemobileus
Hold on, the phone itself was $80?
