This sucks bigtime! I fear It will be the same in more countries.....
the play store price remain the same, for international just have to wait for a site like expansys to give a good price.

Wow I wonder how Germany will be like. I might just have to wait 3 weeks until I'm back in the US to buy this phone now.

Same for me (in Austria). But at least many Austrians have the chance to get it from Germany's Play Store through friends/relatives in Germany. But thing is, the recommended retail price of € 549.- for the Nexus 4 16 GB won't correspondend to the actual selling prices. The first retailer is already announcing it for € 399.- (http://geizhals.at/eu/859912), others will follow. The only reason for this crazy pricing is probably LG's try to protect their Optimus G (which is very similar to the Nexus 4) of being unsellable...

why google don't open the Google Play Device store to more countries ..
what is the reason for google to select or not to select a country ? resistance from local retail or mobile operators ?
such a big price diff is ridiculous ..btw..
Yeah, I'm always getting "this product is not available in your country", Portugal here, and I just don't see the reason why they do it like that. Whats the difference betwen the countrys that justifies this regon lock in apps, devices, etc.?

There may not be a technical reason for limiting the Play Store to certain countries.
Allowing sales in a country opens up all kinds of legal liability. You have to be able to collect and submit applicable taxes, adhere to fair trade laws, deal with customs and tariffs, etc.

I think we'll have to wait till December or next year january. I want the nexus 4 badly but do you know what's the suggested price of it?
I want this piece also. But here in Malaysia i know price will be marked up more than 50%. Which is kinda sh*tty. Sigh. So i plan to get it in the US via playstore and somehow delivered to my mom who is currently visiting there.

Scouted still no sight of it.... will continue and update rrp for it I don't know.... if you're in Malaysia and near SG maybe we could work something out if and when it hits stores here...

Yeah. You're the lucky one. Sigh. I don't think so i could get from playstore as planned. Since it has to be bought using a US credit card. Oh well. Just have to check the price here when its launched here. Worse comes to worst at least I'll get at least a one year warranty for that kinda markup price
Sent from my Nexus S using xda app-developers app
That thing is obviously going to sell for more than the GNex. Might end up going for the Xperia P if the price doesn't drop.

I'm sure it will be very expensive. If Europe is anything to go by , LG will sell it with a RRP of SG$900+ (€599 in EU, even though it's only €299 in the Play store).
I think I'll be getting mine from Aussie Play store when I'm there in December. Might order 2 and sell one if I can profit from it.

You'll find some uk ones on eBay for a small mark up once they launch I'm sure. Postage might be a bit steep though!
Hey guys visit this website http://www.GadgetsINSG.com/#!google-nexus-4/cmht some guy asked me if I want to reserve or not. I can't believe the nexus 4 at 8gb is going to costs S$549 while the galaxy nexus costs S$700+
Edit.... saw that it's pay upon collection!

Will do. Whether I buy an extra one depends on the SG price and if I leave in time to claim the Aussie GST back
Also a friend might want to order one, and I believe you can only order 2 per account.

No confirmation about the price yet but LG did confirm that it will be released in the middle east and gulf countries as the same time as Europe but I don't think it will be the same play store price

Hi,
Just wanted to ask how much would it cost me if I shipped nexus 4 (ordered from the play store) to mansoura (or new Cairo) , will there be any taxes , what's the best shipping company with respect to price/quality.
Thanks in advance,

Is there any word on any stores in the UK selling the device (unlocked) on launch day? I'd order it from the Play Store but I'd much rather go out somewhere and buy it on the day. I'd expect Currys or CPW to be selling it but there's no word on the websites. Nothing off contract anyway.
I did this with the N7, CPW had it on launch day and it was nice.
Forget cpw and p4u. If there is something wrong with tour phone its easier to brake in to the bank than returning device to them ....

The Play Store is the only place to get it that cheap. All other stores are charging much more.
Hopefully they'll have enough stock

I am travelling to US, France, Singpore by next week. Can you suggest which country would be best to buy Nexus 4 and the store name.
EBay is you're best bet or Amazon as its old now as far as technology goes plus the phone was sold from Google play so not many stores had them in stock officially. At least in Europe not sure about the U.S.

Does anyone know if smart watches will hit retails like Walmart, best buy, staples, etc? Or will they only be sold through the Google play store?
I don't think I've seen any mentions about retailers.

AT&T is slated to carry the G Watch, no word on the Gear Live yet, but we carry the entire Galaxy Gear line so I imagine it'll trickle in too.

Would highly doubt that Samsung and LG would let it be a Google Play exclusive. I am guessing like the Nexus devices, you can get them at selected outlets too
Personally I would like to see them all in a store, which I think will likely happen in the next few months (incl. moto360)
Daaang. Didn't realize it would be in Amazon so soon. I have prime shipping and Google charged me ten on my pre-order for shipping. Maybe I should cancel and then wait till amazon has it?
