T-Mobile Confirms Nexus 4 HSPA+ 42Mbps Connectivity | | TmoNewsTmoNews

Unlocked GSM/UMTS/HSPA+
GSM/EDGE/GPRS (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)
3G (850, 900, 1700, 1900, 2100 MHz)
HSPA+ 42 Mbps

In an effort to clear up some confusion, I’ve re-confirmed with T-Mobile that the Nexus 4 sold by T-Mobile will have HSPA+ 42Mbps connectivity on board. That’s different from the Google Play store which indicates the Nexus 4 will have HSPA+ 21Mbps. There doesn’t appear to be any other differences between the T-Mobile and Play Store models, other than the radio. Moreover, it’s entirely possible that the Play Store specs are remnants of the Galaxy Nexus and will be updated to show the radio later on. Then again, that may be wishful thinking and the unlocked version may in fact only be 21Mbps.

To clear up one more question, the T-Mobile “edition” of the Nexus 4 is bone stock, no add-ons, bloatware or carrier branding. You can take a peek at the Fact Sheet below which indicates all the T-Mobile related material on the Nexus 4. In other words, there doesn’t seem to be any differences between the T-Mobile Nexus 4 and the unlocked Nexus 4 purchased from the Play Store, other than the HSPA+ radio.

The Nexus 4 is the latest device in the Google Nexus lineup, and T-Mobile will be the premier U.S. launch partner. With cutting-edge hardware designed collaboratively by LG and Google, favorite Google Apps, and the latest version of Android, Nexus 4 puts the best of Google in the palm of a customer’s hand. And, with access to T-Mobile’s fastest 4G (HSPA+42) network, T-Mobile is again giving its customers the best choice of devices. Nexus 4 comes with a high-performance 8MP camera and takes stunning Photo Sphere images to capture every detail of the world. The all-new camera lets customers quickly view and edit photos with powerful new tools, and share favorite shots in a snap. When combined with T-Mobile’s Value plans or T-Mobile’s Unlimited Nationwide 4G Data plan, the Nexus 4 gives consumers a top-notch Android experience.

Thats only for the value plan customers and I still think that is a typo. The Classic (reg) plans most people use is $199 out rite 2 yr contract.

i doubt they are gonna offer this on a classic plan,they are suppose to be fazing them out

plus phones on classic plans are always more then on a value plan

the Note 2 is $250 on a value plan but $419 on a classic plan with a $50 rebate

The T-Mobile Nexus 4 will be available for $199.99 with new two-year contracts, while the T-Mobile Nexus 7 will be available with cellular service directly from Google Play in early November.

Moreover, T-Mobile will also have a variety of other smartphones and tablets in stock this winter, including the Galaxy Note 2, the Galaxy S3, the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 and the LG Optimus 9:

Google Nexus 4: Classic Plan – $199.99 with a two-year service agreement on qualifying voice and data plans
Google Nexus 7: Available with T-Mobile service via Google Play starting 11/5
Samsung Galaxy Note II: Currently available online and in retail stores. Classic Plan – $369.99 with a two-year service agreement on qualifying voice and data plans
LG Optimus 9: Expected to be available online and in retail stores starting 10/31. Classic Plan – $79.99 after a $50 mail-in-rebate card with a two-year service agreement on qualifying voice and data plans.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1: Expected to be available starting 11/14 online and in retail stores. Classic Plan – $349.99 after a $50 mail-in-rebate card with a two year service agreement on qualifying mobile broadband data plans

I'm on the $100 for 2 lines value plan. Financing the device according to their release statement costs $199 down with twenty $20 monthly payments on that plan. That's $600 at the end of the day. I doubt T-Mobile is going to sell this thing for less than $600 at full price.

According to Google's site, their unlocked version is only 21 Mbps while the T-Mobile version is 42 Mbps. It just doesn't make sense to buy it through T-Mobile at full price is all I'm saying.

Please stop making up BS. T-mobile give you a choice.

i visit tmonews daily and they also said the Note 2 was gonna be $299 and it ended up being $419 so i always take what they say with a grain of salt

if its $199 then cool i aint mad breh i just know they usually charge more for phones on classic plans and thats all i was saying
