Trying to get a Nexus 4. They're cheap and awesome.
Ya...I wish it was with more providers so it could be cheaper. From my knowledge, T-Mobile is the only wireless provider who officially carries the phone.
But hey...at least the Nexus 4 is unlocked...so you can take it wherever you want...and activate the 4G capabilities easily. The reason for buying it directly from Google is that you won't be locked in a two year contract with a carrier. You can jump around as often as you like in order to find the best coverage/service for the best price in your area. It works out to about the same (and in many cases less) when you just pay for the phone outright, instead of the carrier's subsidized prices + 2yr contract.
The only thing I don't like about the Nexus 4 is its lack of an external SD slot. It's the reason I'm sticking with my Galaxy Nexus for now.
