  • pay $299 and go no contract. get their $30/month prepaid unlimited data plan. all i want to know is what kind of data speed i will get on average and can i tether, even if it’s $15/month extra. i’d like to get rid of my comcast cable internet if the nexus 4 can replace my modem and router.
    i was looking at the galaxy s2 from walmart at $299 or a used one on craigslist. i try and try to understand all the wireless data technologies that t-mobile has but i end up just feeling stupid.

  • It says access to T-Mo’s 42Mbps HSPA+. Are they including a different antenna in this version of the Nexus 4? If so, that’d be a reason to go with one that T-Mo offers.

  • I love Android and Google. But making a phone at the end of 2012 without LTE is total crap. Offer LTE as an option for another $200 for all I care, but at least Google would have the best hardware still…. this feels dumber than when Apple made the 4S without LTE

    • It would be a $300 Nexus with a 2-year contract, and a 3 month delay on any updates. What’s the point of that again?

  • Here is an idea Google: take the Razr Maxx HD Dev Edition, remove some bloatware, call it a pseudo-nexus and sell it off contract for $599. Then SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY.

  • Wait one min… Only 20 comments … No LTE ?? Tmobile ??? No backlash ??? Yo this is the problem with these so called Android lovers … They are not honest with themselves and with the site . I love the phone, looks good, but the no LTE and being available to Tmobile first … Totally Unacceptable … No Way …

    • Considering absolutely no modifications have to be done for it to take full advantage of T-Mobile’s network, I’m not surprised at all.

  • HSPA+ may not be as fast as LTE but a great alternative. I had LTE on Verizon since the Bionic was released, followed by a LTE GNex. Switched to HSPA+ on T-Mobile, never going back to Verizon. I have unlimited 4g data (no cap or throttle), unlimited calling, unlimited text. , $60 a month with a 15% discount, after taxes and government fees $55.00 total.

  • Okay, so my thought would be…forget a contract with T-Mobile, go with the Straight Talk AT&T MicroSIM…unlimited everything for $45 a month. I can’t think of a better option…?

    • Found a better option: T-Mobile has a web-only (or WalMart, but still only via the web) plan for unlimited 4G (throttled after 5GB), unlimited texting, and 100 minutes for $30/month off contract. I think I’m going to pull the trigger on that.

  • Sorry I don’t see why would want to buy this over other better phones,, I have come to notice there are two groups of android fans, ones that love android cause if it open nature and fact have done many different android phone to choose from, and then there are the nexus fan boys, that are just like the. The hard core iphone Dan boys that no matter crap nexus Google puts out they will say it is the best Android phone ever even when it’s subpar

  • Why go in on a contract with T-Mobile when you can buy the phone outright for $100 more and not be locking into anything…

    • Well that only makes sense if you go prepaid. Att is not going to give you a discount on service, and if you’re already with Tmobile, why not?

      • Their prepaid fully unlimited plan is $20 cheaper per month. You save $480 over a 2 year subscription. ($380 if you count the $100 savings on the phone)

    • You also get HSPA+ on ATT. Dont under estimate HSPA+, I still download torrents over T-Mobiles network at 500 kb/s using a cell phone.

  • This is what happens when Verizon screws up a nexus phone….they go back to just crappy T-Mobile. Combine that with crappy storage options, and no thanks.

  • Only saving $100 to sign a 2 year contract. I don’t know about that one.

    Might as well use you upgrade to buy a more expensive phone, sell said phone, use cash to buy new Nexus, ???, profit.

    • Not to mention that t-mobile gives you value plans if you bring your own device. Savings per month are 10-20.

      • There is a little something called a contract. There is also something called an early termination fee.

          • With an absolutely inferior network in my area. It’s not even comparable. I have full 4G bars everywhere I go with Verizon. I’m actually not that unhappy with them, especially with my unlimited 32GB GNex, but once they take away unlimited, I’m gone.

          • T-Mo has unlimited data right now; no grandfathering required. If their network is as good as Verizon’s in your area and your contract is up, it’s a no brainer.
