O2 first UK carrier to confirm LG's Google Nexus 4

So, heard about that Google Nexus 4 thingy from LG? O2 is the first UK carrier to announce it'll be carrying this year's winner of the "[most-leaked](http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/29/nexus-4-leaked-on-video) smartphone" award, which was [mercifully launched](http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/29/nexus-4-official/) on Monday. So far, we've found the "[phenomenal](http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/29/google-nexus-4-hands-on)" quad-core, 4.7-inch, 1280 x 768 handset with virgin Jelly Bean 4.2 to be "better than the sum of its parts," and Google will be selling the phone sim-free for a non-exorbitant £239 at the Play store. That means you'll likely find the device free under contract, but your carrier choices may be limited to start, as [O2](http://www.engadget.com/tag/o2/)'s rumored to have a 30-day exclusive. There's no mention of price or availability, but Google's own sale date of November 13th seems a good bet.
