Haha, me too.
I have this weird impulse to buy another one. It's like I'm getting a bizarre rush of adrenaline because I inexplicably desire to go through this hellish process over again.

Use USA billing address and some mail-forwarding company. I use this method. Ukrainian debit card + USA real address, that I write in billing address.
That looks pretty.

Meh.
It probably won't show scratches and fingerprints like the black version, but damn, I love the pattern on my N4.
Never been a fan of white electronics. I hate how the black parts of the phone stand out (screen, camera, etc). Black is so much smoother.

I'd REALLY like to have a nexus 4 but 16 gigs is just way too small for me.

It worked! Thanks a lot
Haha, no problem. I use this method for all major retailers (amazon, apple, i.e.) and it's work, if store not check card zone code and your bank do not check billing address.

Huzzah, the order has been placed! Only thing I wasn't sure about is the $13.99 two day shipping... does that mean as soon as they become available (1-2 weeks?) they'll be shipped over two days?
Where there even any other shipping options I wasn't aware of? Because this is a bit BS.
Edit: sorry about the dp.

I assume it will be 2 day shipping once the order is ready to ship (1-2 weeks). I placed my order an hour ago and it also came up with 2 day shipping. I think that's the only option. I didn't see any way to change it.
The TPU S-Line case I got off eBay for $2 has been great.

Ordered a 16GB. Nice come-up from an HTC Incredible.

Spigen has a hard case for the N4. It's 19.99 and comes with a screen protector. Doesn't have the raised edge like the Diztronics.

LG Optimus One for me. 600mhz CPU, 419mb Ram, 200mb internal storage, Adreno 200. Pure Beast.
To be fair it's got the best Wifi antenna I've ever seen from any phone. Beats the S3, iPhone 4S/5, Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4/7. I'm going to miss it.
You won't. Believe me.
Forget the bumper. Go with the black Diztronic case!!!!!!
And the Optimus G
I've got the original Samsung Galaxy s i9000, brought it when it first came out, being stunned by that whole 1Ghz processor and 512mb ram. Never mind the gigantic 4inch super AMOLED!!! LOL sounds funny now, its been a great phone tho and I'm in no rush to buy a new phone. I use it with my nexus 7. Do you think I should upgrade to the nexus 4? I wanted to wait and see the galaxy s 4 but once this comes up on the UK store I might pounce...
The WiFi reception of my new phone isn't any worst than my old Optimus One's. Really, I can't look at the screen of the Optimus One anymore without disgust. How did I use this phone for so long?

I never like the white nexus devices because they leave the front black. Let's see if this one follows that trend.

I got tired of waiting for the official bumper and got the Poetic bumper.
It looks quite a bit different than the official bumper, but it looks really great and feels solid. And it's a helluva lot cheaper.
(Just so you know, the review average on Amazon is a bit low because their first batch had some defects. But the current ones going out are totally fine.)
Just ordered a Nexus 4...I'm hopeless. Got an iPhone 5 at launch, but I'm mainly an Android guy; I like to jump over every once in a while though to keep myself up to speed. I'm switching off of Verizon and going to Straight Talk.
I usually don't make it a year with a phone but this is a whole new level for me. Oh well, I'll actually be saving money so I can justify it!

Avoid Virgin. Absolute garbage. Used it for 16 months then had to go to the TIO to get my remaining contract cancelled.
There are many standalone carriers like Amaysim, Kogan, LC, etc that offer unlimited calls at 30-40 bucks a month with 4-6GB of data.
I recommend Kogan. $29 for unlimited usage + 6GB and uses the Telstra network.
EDIT: Or what Remz said.
