The Nexus 4 16GB is up for purchase again in the Play Store. This shows that we make the assumptions confusing them with concrete or "official" evidence (logic in some cases) that something is coming. Yea, it made sense to assume the Nexus 5 was coming, but Google didn't say so yet. I want it as much as anyone else, but I guess to feel a little better we just need to wait.. I mean that's all we can do. Frustrating to dig for nothing.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean. Thats always been there

They've been out of stock for the past few months however.

Look at the edited post now..

I mentioned it was in stock for a quick second. They were tinkering with things. I edited the post.

They gotta release SOMETHING though eventually... They did have the Nexus 5 Google Play Store Leak, so clearly the N5 is somewhere in the cards.

That was intentional of course ha-ha. That was a week or so ago. I still love looking at that image to. Beautiful device. Google has a planned day and they're right on schedule. We just have to wait.
 
Look what I just got!

Nice. I was thinking about ordering one when they first started surfacing but I wanna wait to see what else is to offer when the phone comes out. It doesn't really look like it's made of anything that will break judging from the back. I think I might leave it naked and add a screen protector. I'm usually gentle with my phones. Every device I have still is in great to mint condition.

My guess is that they finally got around to certifying the LTE antenna that was already in the Nexus 4 -- the hope being that Nexus 4 users will get an LTE update with Android 4.4.

But the N4 only supported band 4 right? That'd be T-Mobile and (some) of AT&T since AT&T uses another band, too, right?
 
Has anyone else noticed the 16Gb Nexus 4 is back in stock in the Play Store? :confused:

I think, and this is only my speculation, with Hugo gone they will do a small impromptu stream only, where they don't invite out press. Thats why sites haven't got invites, especially if we are banking on a 31st release to the play store. Also invites matter not if all the tech sites are busy writing reviews and are under embargo

A stream could be last minute especially if they are not sure logistically how they will run the announcement, which faces will walk up on the stage and run the demos, etc. If none of this plays out I would certainly agree there is no way they can do a 31st release.

BTW can anyone research that amazon top reviewer and her embargo thing? wasnt that supposed to end today? so she can talk about the phone now... probably was BS like the Go Launcher guys, fishing for attention.

Does the Google Play store take Paypal for hardware purchases?

I highly doubt unless you have a PayPal credit card. And since you have PayPal why don't you just transfer the money to your actual bank account now because it'll take a few days to actually show up in your account I'm sure. It'll be ready by then.
