If they start advertising the phone to consumers, yes I think they will. Once you started seeing ads for Nexus 7, they increased the storage because it was no longer a developers tool. If we see the same for the Nexus 4, then I think we will see it. I know of all the N4's being sold the minority are probably going to developers but at this point Google is not advertisig directly to consumers unless I have missed it. just my thoughts.
Do not tell Google, but the cloud thing worked on me...I have ONLY bought phones in the past that would accept a micro SD card (Samsung and Moto). Currently have a Note 2 with a 64 GB micro SD card in it...I had no intentions of using the cloud for anything. After getting my N4 I have since transferred all of my itunes songs to Play Music and opened a Google Drive account. The worse part is I still have 12 gigs of stoage on my phone! I did not load any music or pictures or video to my phone. I am using the cloud...who would have thought it? Not me lol!
