I keep waiting for them to come back in stock so I can buy without contract. Just curious if anyone has received one lately.

    I gave in and bought one from O2 in the UK. Cost me £399 for the 16GB model, but I was happy to pay it.

    I could probably still sell it now for a profit.

    It's a sweet, sweet device - as is the Nexus 7.

    Ordered an 8 GB model on 11/27/12, finally got it on 1/5/13. I've read about people who ordered in December and received theirs within a week, which is kind of messed up.

    I generally don't go crazy over smartphones, but the Nexus 4 is really sweet. Still waiting for the official wireless charging orb to become available, hopefully next month. Overall the Nexus 4 feels a bit faster in UI response compared to the Nexus 7.

    I was looking at this phone but hesitated due to the lack of LTE (not that I care too much) but now that I educated myself on the different networks and speed capabilities I am not as hesitant.

    Thinking of getting off Verizon and the Nexus phone was pretty much the only Android phone I might get since I don't like all the carrier junk, but the no SD card in Nexus lines now bugs me even though it was never a big deal to me before. Primarily it is due to using it for backups, music and podcasts.

    I think not having enough stock is one thing, Google not being able to handle webtraffic with crashing cart / ordering system and frequently changing stock numbers / double charging / charging too early / cancel successful orderts and so on - another.

    I have a nexus 7 and love it, but i like the sleek design of my motorola razr for a phone
    It is pretty powerful as well. I prefer to have the lte.
