One data point. I have had a Nexus 4 for about 18 months. I've had no problems with it so I can recommend it as a solid performer. Runs KitKat official. The screen is not as sharp as newer models. I've used mine in AU (Optus) and the Western USA (AT&T) on 3G networks with no issues. Saved my arse many times driving with maps navigation voice mode. I expect it will work in Europe too as it supports 900 and 1800 MHz GSM bands.
I get photos and music in/out using gmtp (under Ubuntu 12.04); while Ubuntu 14.04 accesses the phone like a mass storage device under GNOME. Overall pretty good desktop Linux compatibility from what I've tried to do. YOU WILL NEED A GOOGLE ACCOUNT to make use of many features. After all it is a Google phone. -- Rich (in Seattle for a bit) On Mon, Nov 17, 2014 at 1:22 AM, Russell Coker <[email protected]> wrote: > http://www.kogan.com/au/buy/lg-google-nexus-4-refurbished-by-lg-16gb-black/ > > The Nexus 4 is still a very capable phone, it has 4G of RAM, 16G of > storage, > runs recent versions of Android and can be easily rooted and modded. > > Kogan is selling refurbished Nexus 4's for $169 each, this is really a > great > deal.
