what the **** is going on with Google for God's sake!!!!, i want to spend 299 euros and i can't do it, isn't that crazy?? hahaha

The LG Nexus 4 went on sale on november 13th and in 5 minutes was sold out, we waited until the 27th, it went on sale again, only in the US btw, and after 10 minutes...again SOLD OUT, this is crazy, and no news from Google, very disappointing.

Not sure why all the hullabaloo, the phone is getting mixed reviews.

From CNET....
3.5/5
Elegant smartphone with a huge flaw

Not very durable either....

I ordered mine yesterday! Had to get it from ebay, since I had the same ordering problems as you, Xavi.

I'll let yous all know what it's like (and when I drop/smash it) ;)

I still have one of these. I've dropped it at least 100 times (usually on purpose, to show people why I still have it), and nothing is broken. Oh yeah, and my monthly bill is $20. :mrgreen:

I just don't get the whole fascination with the newer phones.

It was awesome when it was released in 1926, and it's awesome now!!!! 8)

My monthly bill: $185.00 -- cause everyone else in my family has an iPhone. :stupd

I had a Nokia 6310i since birth almost. 3 years ago i was talked into having my first smartphone. I decided to stick with Nokia (a N900). Still happy with it although the operating system was a bust so new apps have stopped being released. But the build quality is insane. It dropped of a second story of a building. I bumped it of the railing. Onto grass but still. And from a slow moving car (dont ask why :P) onto a pavement. The screen just has 2 small scratches. Nothing more.

My former boss on the other hand had his iPhone for 2 days before it fell of the couch and his screen cracked in a 1000 pieces.

I'm less curious about the slow moving car -- more curious about the "dropped of a second story of a building." :shock: :)

Put it on the edge of the balcony after a call and knocked if off when i got up a while later. :? It landed in a grass/bushy area at the bottom of the flat. Not a scratch on it. Although im sure it would have been in a 1000 pieces if it would have landed on stones.
