Nexus 4, made by LG, costs $299 without a contract. The LG Optimus G, almost exactly the same device, is $549 without a contract. Nearly identical hardware and operating system and no Windows tax, but a retail cost difference of $150. -- Rich P. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@blu.org http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
