depending on reviews gonna sell s3 and grab this probably... 350$ what a good price

exactly
it's the same reason I criticized apple's non-HD display
it's all about industry standards....which flagship phone released in the last little while wasn't LTE capable? This phone is marketed for mostly 2013 so that's a bummer. Saying they want this to be compatible in all markets sounds like an excuse. That said, it's still one hell of a deal starting @ $199

This sucks, I have to wait to order this
haha

Only $309 for the phone!

Isn't that even cheaper than the Nexus 3?

Lets be honest here, if it had LTE, it wouldn't be $299/$349.

Secondly, it sounds like they wanted to break free from Carriers, which means they can't license LTE. I don't blame them for this, because Verizon and Sprint did a damn good job tarnishing the Nexus name with the Galaxy Nexus.

There's no denying LTE is the future, but I can see why they did it

wow that's a great price


i think the new nexus just killed any chance of people thinking about hopping over to WP

just watch Apple take this and put their patent on it and then sue Google..

The "photo sphere" has been on mobile for like 2 years already. MS photosynth.

Google Nexus 4 hands-on (video) -- Engadget


A hands on video of the Nexus 4. I'm liking the look of this.

Don't know if i would give up the S3 for this though.

MS also made a tablet LOOONG before apple did, but it never took off...

This thing will be pentaband like the Galaxy Nexus

FYI: The Nexus 4 rocks 42 Mbps | Android Central

For the money this looks like a great phone

any idea of what sim it will take?

whats up with these phones not including expandable memory slots

Nexus line never included expandable memory slots. Word is that want to push Cloud storage.

I just don't get why they aren't putting in LTE if they are pushing for cloud storage.

Microsim

first nexus had expandable storage

^Yes, when Google Music/Google Drive/Play Store for movies didn't exist.

I didn't realize that so many people were not getting LTE. My Note/S3 was on LTE mostly everywhere I went. Or maybe I was just always on major transit routes so I was lucky enough to always have LTE when I needed it.

^This. I have LTE 90% of the places I go in Vancouver... and I do so much streaming nowadays it would kind of suck not to have it so I can stream music and browse and upload to Dropbox at the same time.

I have LTE 90% of the lower mainland. Burnaby, Richmond and Vancouver. Having to revert back to H+ kinda sucks after you've been spoiled by LTE.

Also, I realize that Google phones does not come with a Task manager like Sammy phones. How do I kill a task from running in the background when I get the Nexus 4?

Why there is no LTE

You don't....This isn't Windows. Let the OS manage everything itself.

However, if you're set on doing it, you press the "multi-task button" (the button to the right of the home button) and swipe the apps away to either the left or the right. Or just download a task manager.

o yes thats what i mean, the multitasking menu. thx.
