DiGi starts opening preorder on their website on January 7th, and the phone available for delivery and in store pickup on January 14th. Applies to stocks both from DiGi AND Nexus Store/Hotspot. DiGi will naturally have their own plan packages that will subsidize the phone price down, but it is not entirely sure if they sell them at RRP.
In lieu to this, please adjust your intention whether to stay or choose other third party parallel importers. The price is very close enough the RM1750 mentioned previously that it may or may not be feasible to wait anymore.
I'm a little disappointed myself. I thought that at least the price would've stick to RM1599 and if they wanna delay it another week, then that may still be acceptable. Having to pay extra and have to wait another week more, may just simply hurt the interest for this phone.

The Nexus 4 news is disappointing, I know. For the entity that holds all the cards, DiGi doesn't know how to play its cards right. They should've capitalised on the yearning frenzy from the potential customer who are waiting for this to release it in time, but God knows what they're thinking of right now, or what their planned profit margin on this. I doubt anyone wants to sign another DiGi line just to get this phone cheaper after looking at their current coverage and network performance now.
Your call, guys. Sigh......
My 6th sense told me that they will probably out of stock at 14 January, saying the demand is too high bla bla etc. Now I regret not taking Playstore orders with pu during mid of December.
I wouldn't want to sign up for DiGi for getting N4. I think the price will probably be RM1799.
Why everything in Malaysia has to be so sucky.
