I feel your pain, really do. But you didn't have it as bad as some. Most people who wanted one were up all NIGHT because they didn't know when it was going to come on sale. Even the people who read about 8AM start in UK at least, were frantically clicking add to basket - checkout - error - add to basket - checkout error - add to basket - checkout - enter payment details - error.....Over and over again for 30 mins. Can't believe I got one to be honest as it seemed harder to get than glastonbury tickets back in the old days before they allocated numbers when you send off you details in advance.

If I remember I will, still hasn't been despatched yet though. It's a good price but they do gouge on delivery - £9.99 for the Nexus 4 delivery, and £13.99 for the Nexus 7, when you add it all up. It's still a very good price but not out of this world cheap like some might say.

I know it's a fair bit cheaper in the US, of course you can't do direct comparison because of possible tax being charged on the base US price...but still, shouldn't complain.

The prices going on ebay right now are downright disgusting!

Yeah, I read a whole number of postings about that too.

Btw, did you order the Nexus 4 bumper as well? I'm still wondering if I should... It's rather expensive and there will probably be inexpensive copies soon.

Case and screen protector for me, when it coems to resale value when the time comes, a perfect back and front makes a lot of difference in price

Absolutely. I definitely want some kind of protection too, for the same reasons.

But I somehow dislike the idea of spending 20 Euros on a little plastic rectangle. But well, since it seems that I have to wait a couple more weeks anyway, maybe by the time there'll be cheaper copies already available.

Indeed it does. I flipped my iPhone 3G for $110 (after paying $100 for it under contract) and just flipped my HTC Inspire for $100 (after paying $100 for it under contract). I expect to get over $150 for my iPhone 5 when its contract is over and I can upgrade. $20 for a screen protector and case will earn you at least $30-40 when you re-sell the phone (plus, you have a nicer device to use the entire time, one that is scratch-free). If you take good care of your phone, you can flip it back onto the grey market for just about the same price you paid for it under contract. It's a great way to take the initial sting of the upgrade price off a new contract while always owning a premiere phone.

Couldn't agree more. Sold my Galaxy S2 for £220 which was in mint condition thanks to a screen protector and gel case. Dropped it chucked it round and so on countless times...Nexus 4 16GB 290 inc shipping...so £70 for a new mobile, pretty good imo...

Anyways, sounds like I'm gloating which is not the situation.

In terms of a bumper/buy/not buy...I haven't bought the bumper. I'm not paying that sort of money as it's just a cash-in. I will not be using the mobile until cheap knockoffs become available and a screen protector, which surely should be in the next 3-5 days I'm guessing...

The bumper alone won't keep the screen/back in perfect condition anyway so don't really see the point.

I just read that the Nexus 4 actually does contain LTE hardware, it just appears to be software-disabled.
