LG Nexus 4 reappears on Carphone Warehouse for pre-order

After a false start at taking pre-orders last week for Google’s new LG Nexus 4 smartphone, prompting an apology from Carphone Warehouse, it looks like things are back on track for UK buyers to place their order. The pre-order page has reappeared with an expected delivery date of November 13th, the same date Google indicates the device will be available for purchase at the Google Play Store.

Pricing for the LG Nexus 4 via Carphone Warehouse is listed as free for customers signing up for a new line or upgrade starting at £31 ($50 USD) per month for the 16GB version, although adding data pushes the price up. Carphone Warehouse lists the device as being available for O2 or Vodafone subscribers. The LG Nexus 4 will be available for £239 ($383 USD) via the Google Play Store, so you will need to do your math to figure out whether a subsidized phone is the better deal.

Google to hold Android event October 29th in New York City

We had been hearing rumors of an Android event taking place on October 29th, and today our suspicions have been confirmed. Google has just sent out invitations to attend an Android event at 10AM on that very same day in the Big Apple. The invite mimics the company’s new Google Now interface, right down to the NYC landscape. Reading “the playground is open”, the wording could possibly suggest that Google is figuratively opening the playground to multiple OEMs.

However, with a plethora of LG Nexus 4 leaks, camera samples and even a full review, a sole Nexus smartphone seems likely. Regardless, we’ll be there to find out what Google has up its sleeve.
