Correct, the 4G model comes with 8GB. Eldest son went for the nexus4 for $397. No stores in wellington had any in stock bar display models so was told to order one online, I expect to see it next week with all the public holidays. Youngest opted for the ace3 as he is going away and wanted the extra cash. Also missed out on the cheap PS3 from noelleeming, person ahead of me got the last one. Oh well.

Can the Nexus4 from WS be used on the Vodafone Network with a VF card?

They are currently being sold with 2degrees cards.

Can't see why not, when 2degrees piggybacks of Vodafone in some places

Nice prize, could always flick it on TM if you don't have a use.

No N4 available in any Wellington stores

Guess I will try to get mate in USA to grab me a N5 (D821) off Google and post it to Kiwiland.

Yes the Nexus 4 works on any network in NZ.

@Zippity, the D820 is the one from the USA. NZ / Aus use the D821. We have different 4G bands, but that's all that is different. 3G in NZ will still work perfectly fine.

If you don't care about 4G, then the D820 from the US is a top-notch phone!!
