Well I'll be selling mine + wireless charger + Google Nexus 4 Bumper and two other thin profile cases (Spigen and I can't remember the other's name) for $400, free shipping.....16 GB, has spigen ultra crystal screen and back protectors installed as well....

Just FYI...you'd be LUCKY to get $350 for your Nexus 4 right now, let alone down the road. Only someone overseas that can't get it any other way would pay $400 for it (which would obviously add lots of cost to the shipping). And the only accessory you have that adds any value is the wireless charger (and even though you probably paid $60 for the wireless charger, you should expect to only get half that in a resale). Never take cases and/or screen protectors into account when determining an asking price. Buyers won't pay extra for accessories, nor should they.

If you were selling today, I'd say ask $325 for the phone alone (and expect to come down to $300) and $30 for the charger. Good luck to you, though. :thumbup:

$400 will be the buyout.....that's my top end, hoping to get between $350 and $400.....

I just sold my old iPhone 4S with a couple of cases for $368, so we'll see how the N4 goes. The eBay marketplace shows 16GB N4's in the low $300s without any accessories so.....

You also factor in the $12 shipping I'll pay (2-3 day flat rate box), and I just try to add value. ;)

Less outdated software, more poorly optimized software.

Let's face it, as successful as Samsung is they suck as optimizing software. Hence why such beastly phones need updates to address lag and 16GB really means 8GB.

Honestly, I'm excited for the GE GS4....all that power running stock Android should be quite the experience. My N4 was great but it did stutter here and there.

As soon as I'm back from Italy, the N4 (and 3 cases and wireless charger) are all up on eBay so I can hopefully grab a GE GS4 to go along with my HTC One and iP5.

Also thinking about trying to pick up a Lumia 521 to keep tabs on WP8.

I tried the Lumina 521 at a Microsoft store and it costs less at Walmart but no availability in my area. I might buy it when it shows up and see if I like it and to keep up with WP8 as well.

It's processor and screen resolution amongst other things will more than likely just have me return it though.

When the heck will a WP8 8" tablet become available at a good price. What is out there now is too big and expensive for my taste.

What are these fix/improvements you are talking about?

I didn't notice it until after I installed my screen protector, but the capacitive buttons are sometimes unresponsive. Some say the reason has to do with the area of the button being too small to hit.

And I've heard HTC will be releasing software improvements to the camera. Don't know anything more specific as I have yet to receive either update and my pictures are pretty good.

Ah, I've noticed the slight unresponsiveness once and a while. The thing I've noticed while in Camera is that the toggle controls don't always rotate with the phone. Nevertheless, I still love the phone.

Me too - listened to music over my boomsound speakers last night and was once again blown away......

Shocked, every time I listen to them, sound that good is coming out of a phone's speakers.

:D

what are the toggle controls ? If its just the buttons in camera for all its operations, they all rotate for me. :confused::confused:

I don't have the unresponsiveness from the buttons, so I'm assuming they were corrected in the fix we got (though to be fair - i never had them before the latest update). Those who did suffer have reported them fixed with the update.

Can you post that wallpaper? I'm loving it. :p

Will do. Just sending it to myself to post here :)

edit.. here you go.

Thanks for the wallpaper! And yes, its the buttons inside the camera, they don't always rotate from portrait to landscape which then requires me to manually rotate an image after taking the picture.

It's a small issue and only happens within the camera app so I'm 100% sure its a software issue. It will most likely be fixed soon. :p
