Good show last night.

I think what is missing in the discussion of the use-case/value of the Nexus 4 is people who like to upgrade more frequently than once every one and a half to two years. The discussion seems to focus on people who are in "ideal" scenarios (upgrade ready). I can sell my iphone 4s, which does not have 4g, for the same amount that a Nexus 4 will cost me and get a boost in processor and screen size (maybe quality too).

Like many others, I am so eager for this to be available to buy from Google as to be honest I will only consider this phone at Google Play Store prices.
I will wait for availability in the UK although I am p*****d as the lack of communication from Google.
