Google Nexus 4 Sells Out in Minutes

[Temp_Username]

I ordered the 16GB version and if there is a price drop in the next few months I know google will compensate me.

I hope this creates a precedent. CDMA, contracts, and locking IMEI, ESN, MEID need to go away. Phones and service need to be sold as separate entities.

So far StraightTalk ($45 for unlimited everything) is the best I found, here in the states. Anyone found anything better?

[citation][nom]killerclick[/nom]Couldn't order it, and I doubt it will be available in any serious quantities for months, if ever. LG is selling it to brick and mortar retailers for like $600 so that would imply Google is subsidizing a big chunk of the cost, meaning they're unlikely to be able to sell millions at $299.[/citation]

You know companies sell consoles at a loss too and do fine.
Google want people using their stuff. so they get for search traffic. That's the bit they sell and make money from.

Not hard to sell out 50,000 devices

The name Nexus 4 is misleading, considering it's closer to a 5" screen rather than a 4".
