Oh, and I'm sure you've read LG's response to the LTE being enabled on the n4...
Quote:
In order to provide the best possible specification for Nexus 4, LG utilised the same powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset as can be found in its 4G LTE product, namely LG Optimus G.
This powerful chipset is only available with a combined processor and modem and cannot be implemented separately.
The LG representative goes on to explaining that the 4G functionality cannot be obtained just by adding the necessary software. That's because the Nexus 4 is missing "essential hardware parts" such as a signal amplifier and filter.
LG explains that the Nexus 4 LTE connectivity is actually a dud - GSMArena.com news

They probably don't ship to Canada. I'm curious how they're able to resell when nobody including Google and T-Mobile has any stock.

Usually dailysteals has an Ebay store that have the same deals. From ebay you can use paypal and ship to Point Roberts

You're basically paying a hundred more than the play store because this has no tax. Which is not that bad if you REALLY need this phone

That's if you don't get dinged for taxes on the way back through the border.

Nexus 4 sale resumes today at 12 PM PST / 3 PM ET in the U.S.
Google has announced that it will begin selling the LG Nexus 4 in Google Play later today. After clearing through its stock within minutes of the phone going on sale earlier this month, Google will resume selling unlocked versions of the latest Nexus.
Customers who signed-up to be notified when the phone goes back on sale have been sent emails detailing that the Nexus 4 will be available for purchase beginning at 12 noon PST, which is 3PM ET. The sale will be available only to consumers in the U.S., and the unlocked devices will be compatible with AT&T and T-Mobile's HSPA+ networks.
Anyone interested in purchasing a Nexus 4 would be wise to be near a computer in the minutes before the device goes on sale. The Nexus 4 sold out minutes after its original start time because Google began accepting hours 30 minutes prior to the published start time. Now would be a good time to link a credit card to a Google Wallet account to speed up checkout process.
Is that confirmed that only US customers can purchase the N4?
