? Possible White Nexus 4 @ Carphone Warehouse? UK - Nexus 4 General

I went into my local CPW yesterday to ask about the availability of the N4 this week, the girl I spoke to looked it up (big screen flashing up warning NOT to give customers any info and to keep stock in the back etc)
I asked if she could look up the price for SIM fee and she tried another approach, searching on the system for lg nexus 4, a simple screen popped up with the price for 2 nexus 4's.... now, unless my eyes deceived me, I saw one for "nexus 4" and one for "nexus 4 White" (both said £389.99 or similar)
Obviously as I wasn't looking for that info it didn't really sink in until a moment or two later so by that time the screen had been closed etc.... just wondering if anyone had seen anything similar? I don't want to cause any undue excitement, pant wetting etc but surely it's not beyond the realms of possibility? I had a quick search but couldn't see any mention of it...
Anybody? Maybe the o2 exclusivity thing has the white one as part of it?
I hate white phones so not interested, but one of you lot might be into it!
We will find out tomorrow I suppose, but you heard it here first eh!
(....probably been old news for a while or complete rubbish so slinks off to cry....)

Yeah there was a picture on Twitter a while back showing a CPW display that had both black and white options on it.

Ah, it's right enough then... I thought for a second I'd imagined it. I read that article too, must have been before the update with the white option.
Sorry for the pointless post then!

Strange we haven't heard anything official from either Google or LG about it... Wonder how it looks, as my Gnex is the white version.

CES 2013

Just got my CES ticket! Totally psyched.
Anyone else going?
If no, i'll happily cover the event for you guys =D
If yes, how about a meetup? Would be epic to meet some of you guys.
no-one, huh? :/
A coverage of the event would do for me. Thanks.
||I'm just a PM away for help||
Oh it would only cost me about 5000 euros to go there. No biggy, I have a few flecks of dust in an old sock somewhere....
A coverage will do just fine.
Yeah, I lucked out by registering early enough that the tickets were free. The drive from SoCal to Vegas just isn't that bad, and my uncle LOVES Vegas so I was able to 'borrow' some of his 'frequent hotel miles ' (whatever they're actually called ) so its really cheap.
Sadly I'm fairly hard up for money, so I (probably) can't afford a decent camera.... Hopefully I'll be getting a galaxy note ii by then tho, and I plan on just switching on Google+ instant upload for my pictures so anyone who's interested can check it out.
Now what I really want is a galaxy camera, but I think that's asking for a bit much.
Trying to get a new phone for the event..... Saving up for a Note II...
Figured I'd bump this.....
Is no one else going? :/
How much are the tickets? And how'd you get it for free?

If you register early enough they're free. I registered as soon as registration opened. They get progressively more expensive as time goes by though, so that means that if tickets are even still available they're gonna cost an arm and a leg.
Ill check how much they cost now (if they're still available) when I get home.

UK - Second Batch / Non-Play Store Thread

So, will you be holding out for the second batch from the Play store or purchasing from somewhere else?
I've called Google a couple of times and been given no definite answer very vague in fact. 'Check online'
I've phoned and called into CarPhoneWarehouse local to me, 'N4, don't know, no idea'
Where else have you tried?
Dates for availability?
Prices?
I'm waiting oin mine to be dispacthed but I do believe Google are starting to say 2 weeks a lot more consistently in their emails. Not the greatest of info but I hope it's a start.. :good:
Well I didn't get one so I'm holding for the next Batch.
Went to my local CPW this morning they did have them in stock but they for contact only.
I did get to play around with one. I must say its a big stop up from the plastic galaxy nexus

They will be selling it SIM-free, but they're not sure when. They're waiting for the green light from HQ and they're waiting for more stock to come in. Because they're not sure when they're selling they are also unsure of pricing. I have been told £349.99 directly but there are rumours it's going to be £389.99, as you can see from the graph above.

Possible Bad News for the Nexus 4 Life-Span!

http://bgr.com/2013/01/11/nexus-4-successor-rumor-289453/
This could turn out to be a very bad thing for Google and LG to do and would piss a lot of customers off. Especially since pretty much most of the people who have Nexus 4's are the most loyal to Google...
What do y'all think?

Nothing. Rumors are rumors.
Not this again. That article's almost a week old.
Not only was there never any evidence that LG had stopped production (it was just a stupid rumor that circulated because one article wildly speculated without citing any sources), but LG has now stated that production of the Nexus 4 is increasing.

I'm also talking about the quote from the LG man where he said that they are going to be announcing some new Nexus devices at different screen sizes next month..
There may already be a new Nexus release coming soon regardless of the Nexus 4 staying in production.
oooh not this again

If the nexus 4 had a short life span it will retain its retail value even more. So it will cost me less to get the new one

[Q] Should I ask for a replacement? And another Q.

So! Today my One arrived. I love it, it's a *huge* upgrade to my previous phone (iP4) and I'm loving Android so far.
But. It's not perfect.
I don't have a lens that'll show the problems, unfortunately. I could really do with investing in a macro lens or something!
So, for now, y'all will have to make do with some imagination and a poorly photoshopped stock image of the One.

Green = Some of the white plastic down the left side is bulging out. By approximately 0.25mm (I know, I can't believe I actually measured it either), it's enough to slide a fingernail between the plastic and the screen's bezel.
Red = Backlight from capacitive buttons is leaking through where the bezel joins the screen.
As for my other question, how do HTC returns 'work'? Is it via a prepaid delivery to HTC or do you have to pay postage etc?
How did you get your phone. My carrier (three uk) are good, getting my 4th replacement tomorrow, you give the faulty phone to the courier that delivers it's replacement.

I got mine online, from a store called flubit.com, I've emailed them to ask who their supplier is. It's the supplier who I'd return it to.
I'm guessing it might be P4U, but I'll have to wait for an email from the guys at Flubit.
Thanks for answering the question re: the courier btw!
This can be closed now; ParcelFarce are coming to pick up my faulty unit on Monday, and I'll be getting the replacement around the 19th-25th.
While I wait for them to pick it up, I'll continue playing with my HTC One.
I'm loving it so far, it's an amazing phone. Albeit a slightly faulty one. ^^;

Safest place to buy a Nexus 6 .. !?

Guys i already own a Nexus 6 but i am sad about a 'defected screen issue' black bar appears on the screen on darkish grey backgrounds , i really love this phone alot and im thinking of ordering another one to get rid of this screen issue..
so i want to know what is the best place to buy it ? i order them online cause we dont have Nexus phones where i live (middle east).
i had mine (32gig edition) purchased off amazon for 349, 400$ in total with shipping.
here is the picture of the actual problem, would you guys suggest me to keep it ..? but its difficult for me to deal with , to be limited to white and pitch black themes only really kills it for me :/ (cause on white and pitch black, i dont notice the bar at all)
here is the picture

( To all those that use the CM/Layer theme engines , could you please try using a grey theme and closely focus your eyes on the screen and look if you can see some darkish gradient patches?! ) Appreciated. going abit too much OCD on this problem of mine, sorry for the hassle guys !
overall i would love to keep this Beast "wouldnt want to sell and put 100$ on top just to be able to order it again, thats too much of a hassle"
I've never priced it but do you have phone repair shops there? probably cheaper than a replacement phone. If not Amazon is fine just make sure it's from a reputable seller with good feedback.

well we do have phone repair shops here, but i dont know if they would be able to fix it, i am afraid they would completely destroy the screen xD but i dunno, i will ask around i guess.. we do have some pros. but im not sure if they can fix this kind of issue.
