According to the Harvey Norman website, the 16GB Nexus 4 will be available from 1 Feb 2013. However, the price is almost $100 more than the Google Play. Does it mean that Google is going to rise the price for Nexus 4?

    There has been reports the delays are due to the manufacturers bickering about price for the handset, so it's quite possible.

    1. Google's Nexus 4 pricing was design to shake up the market.
    2. Since day 1, buying the Nexus 4 from third party has always cost $100+ more.

    The reason most likely has to do with Google strategy to sell at cost or very slim profit and make back money via the Google Play + ads. Retailer cannot compete at this price as they have to make a profit and cover expenses.

    According to LG, the Nexus 4 availability is due to Google failing to correctly estimate demand. Official word is this problem will be rectify in Feb 2013.

    Maybe, maybe not. That's around the price many online sites have been selling it. When buying from Google Play you need to pay $20 shipping.
