    Straight $ to € conversion, €349 in the European play stores from Nov. 13th. No LTE and only 16Gb max of storage, that sucks. Think I'll get this anyway and try and cancel my LTE contract.

    Google Music is also coming on No. 13th

    About time for Google Music. I oresume it will also include play books amd movies also?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 272 ✭✭D_BEAR


    Ye €349 still seems cheap for a brand new 16gb phone with no LTE the nearest iphone would be the 4s which is still €579.

    If the missus needs convincing then she's probably an Apple acolyte and therefore there's no hope for her. :(

    She is neither Android or Apple fan girl. She hates all gadgets In equal measure :-)

    I thought this announcement was cancelled because of that storm.

    I watched the windows phone 8 one instead.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,357 ✭✭✭coldfire1x


    That's a great price for a SIM free phone.

    Is the Nexus 4 really going to be €299 for the 8gb and €349 for the 16gb? Don't get my hopes up here because that's a fantastic price and my iPhone 3GS is on its last legs :)

    [edit]Ah I see there is no Play store for Ireland? How do we get the Nexus 4 then?

    Via one of the mobile operators.
    You'll be able to pick them up via eBay and Amazon as well.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51,054 ✭✭✭✭Professey Chin


    Video from the Verge at Google HQ about the devices and bits about 4.2


    Strange decision making the back of the N4 glass. Probably trying to distinguish from the plastic feeling of last Nexus but still odd.
    New panorama mode looks amazing and Google Now is getting creepier and creepier :pac: Widgets being natively extended to the homescreen too.
    The screen on the N10 aswell looks bitchin

    Google seem to always convert their prices properly, so it should only cost you €230 or €270 for the Nexus 4. ;)

    You'll be able to get the Nexus 4 unlocked at a place like http://www.handtec.co.uk/

    I'll get the Nexus 10, only paid a large sum of money for the PrePay HTC One X a couple of months ago so I dunno about the 4 yet. :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,911 ✭✭✭✭whatawaster


    Those are insane prices. Let's hope the hardware lives up to expectations. I have confidence the 10 will, as it's Samsung. But I've never owned an LG phone so unsure what to expect

    8gb internal storage is pathetic in a device with no sd card slot. Not everyone has a constant data connection or a big enough allowance to utilise cloud storage.

    Then get the 16gb?


  • Subscribers Posts: 32,869 ✭✭✭✭5starpool


    Even 16gb is pushing it these days. I'm aware that's an option, but storage is so cheap these days there is no excuse not to have a 32gb option as well. 8gb would be unacceptable for me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,729 ✭✭✭Heroditas


    They're not catering for Ireland and our Third World pov. spec. broadband, wifi and mobile network coverage.
    For many other countries, 8GB or 16GB isn't a massive issue due to the high penetration of connectivity. We're paying the price here for being light years behind other countries, despite having the nerve to say we have a "Smart Ecoomy".

    Tbh we're really not that bad here due to the small area that requires covering. Major metropolitan areas in places like the US are fine but have the usual sh!t of differing frequencies and standards. Then when you get out rural (or not even rural. Towns the size of cork would be the same) you might have only 1 network out there and charging stupid prices.
    3 might get a lot of complaints (and deservedly so with a lot of their customer service problems) but without their efforts to gain a foothold & undercut the other operators I dont even want to think what 3G coverage & prices would be here.

    Not sure where you are getting those figures from but it will be ~€299 and ~€349 with VAT included. The Nexus 7 was $199/249 and ~€199/249 in Europe.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,383 ✭✭✭S.M.B.


    Are the euro prices not up on the play store yet?

    Nexus 4s are £239 and £279.

    Nexus 10s are £319 and £389.

    If reviews are favourable I may get one of each.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51,054 ✭✭✭✭Professey Chin


    Its been announced at €299 and €349 for the N4 and €399 and €499 for the N10


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 271 ✭✭stevenf17




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51,054 ✭✭✭✭Professey Chin


    Dammit. Fixed. Meant to type €349

    Been in the market for a tablet for a while now and have been holding off, only really interested in something around the 10" mark. Nexus 10 looks like it will be top of my list at this stage, want to stick with Android (have the GNex), so Ipad is not on my list.

    Any chance of seeing the 10 before Christmas in Ireland? presumably we won't have access to the Playuk store?

    Will wait for reviews of Nexus 4 to see if it is worth upgrading from the GNex, at this stage though money is only likely to be afforded to a tablet so the Nexus4 might be pure class but still won't be able to consider it.

    I imagine plenty of retailers will stock them in time considering the reception the N7 got

    Might be glass to facilitate the wireless charging?

    Doubt it. Both the Palm Pre and the new Lumia have inductive charging and are both plastic
