UK - Buying on launch - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

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

I'm from the uk and I wanna buy the n4 from the USA because the 16gb is for $349 which is around £220. Is there anyway I can do this or does anyone know a website that is selling it for a similar price
Thx in advance

Best option would be to find a friend/relative in the US, have them buy it on your behalf, and send it on to you in the UK (though, make sure you have a USB charger at home with a UK plug). Failing that, wait a couple weeks for eBay; prices for US devices shipped to the UK should stabilize.

Nexus 4 price change

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.

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.

From what I've read, you have to use credit card from the same country as your home adress country, so, it will not be possible...

Not at the moment no, unless they start cropping up on eBay.
Alternatively you can ask a fellow forum member if they can get you one? Or not sure how the USA Google Play store works, but order from there and using a third party shipping company to get it delivered to an American PO Box and they ship it out to you.
Nowhere currently in UK to buy

Nice well curtys etc still showing sept
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
Havn't looked at curries, have never had a reason to look at curries Ebuyer are doing theirs at normal prices with free next day delivery, which is nice. Probably better than what the play store will charge.
Are they reliable?
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
I've never had any reason to say they're anything but reliable. Perfectly good company. If amazon have it with free shipping for the same price, i will use them, but i have nothing against ebuyer and their service.
