Yeah the holiday season is pretty much Christmas but I wouldn't put it past a money hungry company to have a "sell out"and magically have plenty for black Friday. Haha now I'm a conspiracy theorist.
But really though, these companies are smarter than we think they are. They have huge teams that figure out best times to launch, when and where, how, etc.
No it was working and I highly doubt it will be any cheaper. I just want it to be on sale again! Even if that link isn't real, that's what I thought would happen. Do you think they will miss out on the biggest shopping day of the year?
Don't think Google cares about being on sale for Black Friday (or Cyber Monday, lulz) as much as they just care about being available for a couple weeks before Christmas. They surely wanna be able to deliver devices for the holidays.
Do you not know what Black Friday is? It's the biggest sales day of the year because of ludicrous discounts... it's highly unlikely the brand new, still-in-high-demand Nexus 4 will be marked down any. There's zero logic in there.
I just don't see the playstore not stocking the Nexus 4 at least once in the next 3 weeks.

Iirc 98% of Google's profits are from ads. Them selling this phone at a rly rly cheap price just shows its not in this for the money. The phone could have easily retailed for $499 and likely sold just as well.
I understand it might be a goal of theirs to get stock in for Christmas but it doesn't mean it'll be a reality. They showed how incompetent they are with this round of sales.

We wouldn't have all of these fantastic phones and probably not even an Android system, let alone Android 4.2.1, if not for the money being made off these products. People like to complain about greedy companies, but greed is the motivator that drives entrepreneurship. It's both a blessing and a curse, but far more of a blessing than a curse. If we take away a company's ability to make money, we also take away their motivation to make new products. We can't have our cake and eat it, too...
That's not really true at all. It's only that way because there are enough sheep around to believe the marketing. Most people are smart enough to know that the "deals" on BF are mostly BS. Black Friday has been around a lot longer than the ridiculous marketing campaigns for door busters and the like. It is historically the biggest shopping day of the year, because most people have the day off after the holiday, and it's the "official" start of the holiday shopping season. Before all this nonsense of camping out for stuff, it was just a day for families to go shopping together.
See "cyber monday" for further proof of the marketing nonsense.
If they stock it without filling all the orders of people currently waiting, a lot of people are going to be extremely pissed off. Even more so.
Sadly I think it's possibility that could happen especially after my personal experience with the N7 pre-orders debacle.
