This is great, I was ready to buy a MotoX until I saw it was $750 unlocked, when at the same time the Nexus 4 was only $350. I'm not surprised that they didn't sell that many of them.

I was in the market for a phone at that time. Google then dropped the price of the Nexus 4 to $200 (8GB storage) and $250 (16GB). That was way too good a deal for me to pass up.

It was kind of unfortunate since just 2 weeks before the price drop I had paid about $350 for the Nexus 4.

Well that's life I guess.

So you just missed the cutoff for the refund? That's a bummer.

I could maybe have held off and gotten a Nexus 5, but it wasn't clear how much it was going to sell for, or exactly when. I had previously tried out a N4, and found it acceptable (other than the lack of a physical keyboard), so I just went for it. No regrets.

I think you mean the Nexus 5.
