Mine was sent out yesterday. Yeah, not looking forward to cutting down my SIM card...

Had mine a couple of weeks now, downloaded a micro sim template from the giffgaff website and cut my sim with good sturdy scissors (knowing that if I messed it up I could just get a replacement sim from giffgaff by reporting mine as "lost" ) as it happens it went ok - didn't fit in the sim tray immediately I had to get busy with a nail file to trim it to perfection .

I got a replacement micro-SIM from a Vodafone shop, zero cost and no risk of snipping off a vital bit by mistake.

Yep I've got it now (excellent, but haven't had much of a play yet) and did go round to the o2 store who give you a free SIM pack with a credit card size SIM (remember those?!!) containing a 'standard' SIM, containing a micro SIM.
Didn't really want to cut mine, and it's old too, so thought I might as well just get the free one. Once you've got the SIM, goto the o2 website, give them your mobile number, get texted a code, type the code into the website, type the number on the NEW SIM in, and the switch will take place. Mine took about 10 mins.

Google refunded my shipping charge, no idea why as I got the phone two days after I ordered it.

Not going to complain though.

Any one know when these will be back in stock after a 16GB after HTC died.

Nobody knows (even Google I suspect) sadly.

Has anyone got any problems with WiFi speed on the Nexus 4? When tethering, mine's painfully slow and generally unusable. I've had a look around and this seems to be a fairly common issue.

Am I right in thinking that the cheapest way to get this is Sim-free phone + Sim-only contract?

I've just bought one on contract and I think it's cheaper for me to have it like that.

o2. 24 month contract.
200 mins - unlimited texts - 500Mb data
Phone cost £104.99
Cost per month £21.50 with a £6.00 a month discount for the whole 24 months.
Total cost £477

To buy the phone from Google play £280.00
Giff Gaff £10 a month goodybag for 24 months - £240.00
Total cost £520

I only need a few mins so it works for me. Phone's being delivered on Monday, they do actually have it in stock. 16Gb version.

I think that's a good deal. Especially if you can't/don't want to wait for Google to get stock.

Did you remember Quidco/Topcashback? O2 give £50 back through those.
