Worth it? This or Nexus 4?

Get the Nexus 4, I guarantee you'll see these at the sub $200 price range soon, plus other than LTE I find the Nexus far superior

I think these were $40 less less week.

looked and couldn't find it, has been removed. checked email;

Though I did find the X10 unlocked for $50 so maybe I should add a deal alert.

Pros of Sony LT28at vs. Nexus 4
LTE, MUCH better camera, MUCH more memory (16GB base with a microSD slot)

Cons of Sony LT28at vs. Nexus 4
The Sony is receiving 4.1 JB but that's probably it for official support (although, Sony does release binary blobs if you're willing to go with custom roms). It also has a much older chipset. The S4 in the Nexus 4 is much more efficient and powerful. This is the same chipset found in the HTC Sensation (but at 1.5 ghz vs 1.2 ghz) just to give you an idea on how old it is.

Otherwise, this isn't a great deal. Sony is selling this outright for 299$ right now (5X reward points, and any cash back from other sites)

I really like my Xperia SL, which is essientally the same, just overclocked. Always am getting complemets on it. The screen on this is also much better than that of the Nexus 4.

Deal from last week is still available from the seller's site, but they're shipping refurbished (?) phones and calling them new, so the thread was removed. Good phone, but I'd avoid the store that starts with a Z.

Has jellybean rolled out for this handset yet?

no unlocked bootloader on this phone..meaning no roms except for stock rooted roms....i wouldnt pay more than the 250 I was duped for a week ago from Zagerz
