Any Difference in the Tmobile nexus 4? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

To anyone that has a nexus 4 from T-mobile. Is there any difference in there phones? OS, add in's, junk? Quote
"The T-Mobile version costs less -- $199 for the 16-GB version -- but it requires a two-year contract with T-Mobile. It also has some applications and services from T-Mobile that aren't part of the stock Jelly Bean experience offered by the Google version. Other features, such as the 4.8-inch HD display, 8-megapixel camera and NFC, are all the same".

This.

On contract costs more. You're paying more for it within your monthly fees.
As mentioned in the other threads here asking the same question; they are the exact same phone.

How is it more? I have a family with 5 lines, one of them had an upgrade, I took it.. Cost me total of 257.63 out the door. NOW the Value plan, you have to put down 200 with the $15 monthly charges for 20months. So it depends on what he has and not all contract will cost more.

Well let's just say after being with Tmobile for more than 10 years and being time for an upgrade. My nexus 4 was dirt cheap!!
I can't ever put how much I paid for it may start a riot! People hunting me down. Dogs chancing me! Oh the pain.

White is only available online, not in the stores. I'll be working that day, so if there's anyone in the nh/ma area, come see me!!
Holy crap. I gotta return the one I just bought on Amazon and get in on this deal! Hope I can.
Oh sweet! Definitely picking up a white gs2!

My question is: I have the 1000 minutes Classic Family and an upgrade on my line. Am I eligible for this offer? (I also have unlimited text + 5GB)
I called a store rep and he said this is only for Unlimited Classic and Value plans. But then again he said he hasn't been notified of the sale yet.
So you still gotta pay the fee up front right? What about online? No upfront fee for that or still? Im eligable for full upgrade but was waiting about one more week for my tax return and i dont wanna miss this but dont have any for upfront fee...

The info I've seen said upfront money and mail in rebate.

Costco offers a full 90 day exchange policy too, so if something better comes out you can exchange hassle free. You also don't have to be a member.
Too bad its contract only. I travel a lot so I'd rather have an unlocked one, no 4g just wifi.
????
att and verizon both offers s3 at price of 199.99 + tax = that will be the same price.
Sprint gives u 100 $ american express gift card when u buy any smart phone .
Edit : its good deal if u consider extras they give. sorry didnt read details on site.
plz update the post with further details to avoid future confusion.. thanks

Can we get an unsubsidized price on USA note 2s

Sprint and TMobile have stated they will have the device late next week but can we get a firm unsubsidized price, I usually get good inside info but the buy outright price is more secret than Romney 5 point plan

Not necessarily, the OG Note was apparently $750 retail price on AT&T.
Also, walmart just leaked some on contract prices for T-Mo and it looks to be $299 w/ contract
I gave up and got the white from Newegg for $649 and Fatwallet cashback (~4 extra percent off). If the AT&T version isn't screwed all to hell, I'll sell the international for a small loss and move on. Easy. Not interested in waiting until mid November.
If you are looking to get the Note 2 on T-Mobile and are worried about having to pay the full price. Call a tmo representative and talk about their 2 tier early upgrading plans. It renews your contract but you still got a much larger price off.

I'm on the Value plan, so... no dice for me . But for those of you on a Classic plan, this is the way to go. Although if you want, you can say you want to talk to retentions and try to get the "Android Data plan" which is an old 5GB plan for $15 a line.

Cheap Refills

I want to go on to do the $30 a month t-mobile plan but I forgot the site to get the refills for cheaper. Any help?

Prepaid-refill.com and callingmart. I don't trust the first one based on reviews and other forums I've read on Google. There's people here who use it and no problems.
I've been using callingmart for over a year and I love em. They used to have discounts but tmobile put a stop to that a couple of months back. Great customer service as well as previously stated at least you don't pay taxes and you don't have to pay a fee to tmobile either. Hope this helps

Think this will be sold through carriers? Right away?

I am on a contract-based family plan thing with Verizon. I still get subsidized phones. Think I will be able to get this as a cheap upgrade from Verizon right away?
no
If history repeats itself Tmobile will be the first to carry them.

They sure did, I've gotten every nexus right away, minus the galaxy. I had to buy that one from amazon since it was exclusive to Verizon at first. What a joke that was. I hope google learned their lesson

What does history indicate the time it takes to get to carriers? I am sure Verizon takes longer than the others.

Why dump verizon? Just buy any nexus and put your sim in and works from day 1 on verizon. at least that is what i did with nexus 6. no issues at all. would expect the same from the nexus 5x and 6p

I assume it's because Verizon didn't support the Nexus 6 for like 5 months after it was released or something.
I've usually had good experience with T-Mobile and Nexus devices.

They didn't "officially" support it but day one if you put nano SIM in nexus 6 it worked flawlessly. I did it on multiple occasions without a hitch every time
I hope T-Mobile offers the 6P on Jump on Demand.

Verizon doesn't offer contracts anymore. You will have to switch to one of the newer cheaper plans, or drop full price upfront.

That's only for new customers. Existing contract-based customers can stay on it.
**** I'm just hoping they would do a payment plan like Apple did for their iPhone... It would be nice to be able to upgrade every year to a newer nexus

It doesn't look like Google is going to be partnering with carriers at all this round, and I don't think Google will be offering payment plans on the play store. Hope I'm wrong but it wouldn't be shocking since n6 sales didn't to be all that strong last year in carrier stores.
