Nexus 4 on T-Mobile USA contract-free price official

When it comes to the Nexus 4 smartphone, no doubt many were somewhat disappointed when Google put the device up for sale on Google Play, with stocks of both the 8GB and 16GB versions selling out rapidly. However, if you are over in the good old US of A, your preferred carrier is T-Mobile, and you are desperate for the Nexus 4, T-Mobile USA will be offering the device today.

Unfortunately though, although the 16GBNexus 4 from T-Mobile USA commands a price tag of $199, you will be required to sign up for the usual two-year agreement, but it is roughly $150 less than the unsubsidised 16GB Nexus 4.

Samsung Galaxy S3 Jelly Bean rollout for T-Mobile USA, check now

It seems strange to some of you that the Samsung Galaxy S3 has yet to see the Jelly Bean update rollout in North America. However, we’re happy to report that T-Mobile are now pushing the update, so you’re advised to check now via your Samsung Kies software to see if you have it yet. While this is great news for those with the Galaxy S III on T-Mobile USA, it’s a little disappointing for those on other carriers such as AT&T, as they still have to play the waiting game.

While it’s easy to put the blame on the likes of Samsung to get Jelly Bean later than other devices, more often than not it’s down to the carriers in the US, which is the case this time. What we do find strange is that T-Mobile USA did not even make an announcement that they would be making the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean available, instead it just appeared – but who’s complaining? Although it’s now showing on their support page.
