      Mini-sim is the "standard" sim size. The original size sim cards were about the size of credit cards.

      Surprised that only got 18 positives considering it was half a year ago (i.e. should be more expensive) and it was cheaper! Probably because it was too specific a location.

      • wtfnodeal on 03/07/2013 - 23:28

      Depends what you're after. The Optimus has better specs, but the Nexus has a local warranty and will continue to get updated versions of android (either official or from the community) for a good few years.

      • Bappy on 03/07/2013 - 19:38

        Yeah LG doesn't have a good reputation for releasing new OS
        I like the Galaxy Nexus (its also made by Samsung so maybe built quality is slightly better?)
        However like other Nexus device - no SD card support :(

    • fryandlaurie on 03/07/2013 - 20:10

      I have both the 4X and Gnex. It depends on your preference of android. If you like to customise and have specific needs i.e. custom roms and kernels, then the Gnex is your phone. However, if you don't mind giving up a bit of that (the 4x has an unlocked bootloader and CM10.1 and custom roms+kernels and started appearing) then get the 4X as it has better specs and dare I say a better IPS screen. Also, battery life is much better with the 4X.

  • [Deactivated] on 03/07/2013 - 19:37

    These are Quad band HSDPA 850/900/1900/2100 So they cover all 3 major networks.

    You can flash it with Google rom (if it isn't already) & then you get OTA updates before anyone else direct from Google.
    I got one a year ago & it hasn't missed a beat.

      • Protato on 03/07/2013 - 22:20

        I'm on CM 10.1, it's a lot smoother than the GS3.

      • [Deactivated] on 04/07/2013 - 12:21

        It's much quicker then my Asus transformer tablet, & has a lot more things running too.

  • h047j9fg9j83p on 03/07/2013 - 19:40

    Great phone, still happy with mine after a year.

    Far better for viewing film/TV than the Nexus 4 in my opinion. The GNexus AMOLED screen produces much deeper blacks, whereas everything looks much whiter with the LG Nexus 4. Although that means the Nexus 4 is clearer during the day, so just take your pick.

    • Jackson on 04/07/2013 - 00:01

      Also I find amoled is much better for reading in bed, I read white text on black background, and the slcd on th Lumia 920 doesn't handle that well at all with the brightness down, it makes the black look really washed out and the text hard to read, no such issue with amoled

  • Adz81 on 03/07/2013 - 20:05

    Can anyone tell me which one it is?

      • no micro sd slot.
      • Adz81 on 03/07/2013 - 20:11

    I have one of these already… awesome phone! I am so tempted to buy another one at this price… hahaha!

    And Adz81, i owned the GS2 and i traded it in for this. Never looked back. The true android experience on this phone is just awesome. Touchwiz is rubbish. At this price it's worth getting. It's cheaper than most crap prepaid phones…

    • Adz81 on 03/07/2013 - 20:13

      I'd always thought the GS2 was fairly solid… I didn't seem to experience any problems with it and minimal boating (or so I thought, although perhaps i've not had the right experience to compare it to)

    Reasonable price, but with the Nexus 4 for $100 more (or only like $60 more if you're willing to settle with 8GB) it doesn't look so great anymore. Good phone, but very last gen with the dual core A9.

    • Click_It on 03/07/2013 - 21:18

      Trying to decide if the Nexus 4 8GB for +$60 is the way to go or just stick with a $280 deal with this one.

      Its 2GB RAM is a huge temptation, the CPU is also superior though the rest doesn't grab my attention so much.

      • murkywater on 03/07/2013 - 22:06

        2gb ram, way better CPU/GPU, better screen, better looks, better camera

      • Agret on 04/07/2013 - 00:09
        +1

        8GB memory sounds alright until you realize a fair chunk of it is taken by the OS and that there's no sd card slot, you will be constantly fighting with space and it's definitely worth getting the 16gb if you decide to get a Nexus 4.

    • kampua on 03/07/2013 - 21:30

      Where to get Nexus 4 for $340? Google Play has it for $349+20 shipping = $369 which is about $90 more for the 8Gb model.

    oh man what a bad time for this deal! I was just about to purchase another N4 as I broke mine :( but now I'm torn, should I get this instead and await the next crop of phones?
    I am using my S2 and I notice it is laggy and slow compared to the N4 (though it was fast when it came out), I wonder if this Gnex will have similar performance to the S2 - any comments?

    • Agret on 04/07/2013 - 00:11
      +1

      gnex is a bit better specs than the S2 but the S2 has a nicer screen, the nexus looks washed out in comparison. You're probably best off flashing a custom rom that is close to stock (such as CM) on your S2 as touchwiz on that slowed it down quite a bit.

      • maverickjohn on 04/07/2013 - 09:59

        Actually the s2 has a far better GPU than the galaxy nexus. the mali400 annihilates the sgx530
        S2 is still the superior phone spec wise. but the galaxy nexus has the 720p amoled display.

      From TRS website :

      Travellers can submit more than one tax invoice to make their claim, as long as each is a valid tax invoice from the one Australian Business Number retailer and the total value of goods purchased is $300 or more (including GST).

      So based on your question, the answer is NO :)
