I got Google to refund me $106 because I just bought a 16GB one about a week ago. 
I'm really excited to see android 5.0

it's a shame the iphone 4's resale value is so low. I can't even cover the cost of this phone.
If you use T-Mobile and get good service LTE doesn't even matter. I get around 24Mbs using T-Mobiles $30 a month plan where I live. The camera could be better but its not so bad its unusable. I don't take a ton of picture with my phone so the camera is not that important to me but for a $199 phone unlocked it sure isn't that bad.
$250 and $300 here in Australia, down from $350/$400. Great price for a phone that's still quite powerful and will get updated for some time.
So tempted to get this and sell GS3 just to have something new at almost no cost.
Has anyone owned both? I'm concerned with non-expandable storage and battery dying midday...
I run CM10.1 at "full power" (leave brightness up, gps on, bluetooth on, etc) and often do a battery swap mid-afternoon
Edit- guess storage really isn't that important. I can switch my card to my Nook HD+ and have my photos and stuff there.... My main concern would be battery and camera quality (only as a comparison to GS3)

Chances are none of the retail locations are going to drop their prices for a while (if at all), so a price match is really your only hope.
Last year was an October announcement with a November release. Do you think sooner this year?
This phone wins the midrange market (and low IMO - The price is worth it over the cheaper phones).

As much as I want one, need to convince myself to wait for a refresh announcement. Had one when it first came out and really enjoyed the phone, except for the subpar camera and lack of storage (maybe a 32GB option for the next N4/5?)
Resale value of N4 are dropping like bricks...

I was just about to post about it. price can't get better than this, contract free.
anybody interested in ANdroid should buy this. its factory unlocked, carrier bloat free and you will receive updates straight from google.
2gb ram and quad core cpu makes it crazy fast phone. if you aren't ready to switch to android, it still makes a good backup/experimental phone.

It's been almost a year since the Nexus 4 was released and on eBay (my country) I see them selling for just 50$ off their original price. Buyers are so stupid. It's their fault prices are still that high for a second hand device from last year.
Hopefully now prices will go even lower, where they should be by now: 100$ less.

As I recall the Galaxy nexus price was dropped in June 2012 after Google I/O when they introduced the original nexus 7.
And the nexus 4 wasn't released till mid Nov 2012.
So don't hold your breathe thinking the new generation nexus will be released "soon".
Still looking at around 3 months time frame. (In my opinion).
