now you might think that i'm a troll but please don't get me wrong. those of you who live in the first world countries can buy lg nexus 4 for 350 bucks right ? well, i can't , i don't live in the first world countries and my country doesn't have google play store so i have to pay twice than google play's price, which is $600 or so, and i hate it, i really want the nexus 4 for that price, but for $600 ? big no, it seems like LG is too afraid that nexus 4 price will canibalize optimus g or optimus vu, because optimus vu costs $570 unlocked,
why google why ? no italy no japan no singapore,
shame on you LG,

Same to me, I live in Ecuador and I had to buy it off of eBay, paid $490 for it, I don't regret, at all.

it's true. The Nexus 4 did canibalize the optimus g. It got the high specs of the optimus g, but google's longterm software support.
Hmm... I got mine for 350+ taxes(+-$400) cause I live in Central America
I can't buy Nexus 4 in Poland as well, but it's not a reason to rant them. Life can be unfair, we can't do anything.

In France, 369 for the Optimus 2X unlocked at Bouygues, and 70€ paid back by LG.
That makes an Optimus 2X for 320€. Quite interesting if you're in the market for a new smartphone.

The sales person probably doesn't even know what a tegra2 is
Prices in Switzerland (Both 8GB):
Samsung Galaxy S I9000: 439 CHF
LG P990 Optimus 2X Speed: 556 CHF
SamsungGalaxy S II I9100: 679 CHF (16GB though)
Most probably because Samsung as a smartphone manufacturer and Galaxy S as a phone have better brand recognition than LG over there. LG is a new comer to high end smartphone arena.
Romania: SGS 400 euro
LG 490 euro
Not much of a difference....
Romania. Vodafone on contract. Sgs 219 lg 2x 239. Prices are in euros, incl vat.
Sent from my stock gingerbreaded galaxy s.
Screen, screen, screen... SAMOLED is expensive stuff (and worth every penny) plus the difference in performance isn't overwhelming in any way. Do a smartbench 2011 (multicore friendly) test on your galaxy s and compare the gaming score with lg2x. The thing that bugs me is all game developers are kissing nvidia and apple ass like it tasted lemon sorbet. I guess money taste just as good...

Dude, u should really look for a new phone dealer. In Germany the SGS is at around 330 Euro (price dropping!) and the LG Optimus 2x (called Optimus Speed here) is at 440 Euro.

http://geizhals.at/deutschland/a605840.html
Btw, most of the time the reason that older mobiles are more expensive is just that the seller didn't updated the price. Often cheap old phones are just the remaining stock that the seller trys to get rid at.
All dealers offer practically same price. Prices are 20€ different in other dealers. We have 3 carriers: vip(vodafone), t-mobile and tele2

Hi
I am not talking about purchase under play store, as google will reject order
buy from others us online store may be easier
nexus 7 sell at many US online store and same price as playstore
but i don't know the situation in phone as same as tablet or not
Galaxy Nexus sell at play store at us349
but none of these online store sell it,
even they sell galaxy nexus , the price become US400+
I am very interested in this topic, I will come to America from Italy in 2 weeks and I would take the nexus 4, only that I do not know yet where it will sell in stores, any of you know where I can find it? I felt that I could find in the t-mobile store, but it is an unconfirmed rumor.

yeah..thats old news, thats the reason i kept my gnex and will be skipping the n4
It's such a shame we haven't a play market in italy and we have to pay € 500,00 plus this amazing terminal.
Someone knows how to but at the right price in Italy?
at the moment we can't buy a nexus 4 or 10 in Italy.
As you may know is LG to sell this phone in Italy and we have to wait until the end of the year .-.

If it comforts you, at the moment no one in Europe is able to buy a Nexus 4
except on ebay for even more € then it will cost in retail stores
I'm thinking of buying a brand new LG G2 32GB from China for £205 (£250 if it gets Tax), I was wondering as long as the model is D802 it will work in the UK fine is that correct?
Also has anyone here purchased the phone from China and have you had any issues be it with LTE/4G. From what I understand as long as its the D802 International version it will work fine in the UK.

I bought two G2s of 32 Gb from a site that was bringing products from China (valuebasket.com) Everything works great. Even the 4G. If the seller is serious go for it. D802 is working everywhere there's SIM and not CDMA possible.
I think I'm going to purchase this as soon as the Nexus 6 gets revealed, I can't see the Nexus 6 matching this in specs, battery and most importantly cost.
I've been reading these forums and I've decided when I get one I will install the G3 ROM and then the LG G2 will be perrect.

Thinking about going this route myself. Does anyone know what the warranty from LG might be since this is most likely not a supported seller?

Ah forget it, if I buy a used G2 it will cost more than a new G2 from China.
Also a used G2 on ebay from a UK seller will probs have no warrenty either or have very little left on it. So really thinking about it, the warrenty aspect is irrelevent for me.

Yeah typical British prices ... the Goverment here shaft the people from every direction. You work hard to earn money (no worries the goverment will tax that), you going on holiday (no worries the goverment will tax that), your buying a LG G2 (no worries the goverment will tax that lol), you've inheritted money (no worries the goverment will tax that), you buying petrol (no worries the goverment will tax that - I think you get the picture hahaha.
Anyways back on topic - Cheapest 2nd hand I have seen sold for was for about £230 no warrenty and was in good but not perfect condition. Better off just buying Brand new from China and potentially £20 cheaper or worse case £20 expensiver. Worth it if ya ask me haha.

Have a look on DigitalRev. They provide their own 1yr warranty and although I haven't needed to use it yet, the reviews elsewhere suggest they are pretty good when it comes to issues.
I just took delivery of a white 32gb model for £285 from them and am pleased with it so far. No import taxes or anything were applied...
