since you have the budget, you must go for the 16 GB version..

cuz it doesn't has any Memory Card Slot..
and no one would like to missout on games, for just 5K bucks and that too when you had the budget.. :)

and buy a good case cover too.
Nexus without a cover, IMO, isn't safe for even a day :wink:

Kinda offtopic : have a look here : *phandroid.com/2013/04/11/nexus-4-rant/

N4 eyes closed. Don't even think of other phone in that budget buddy.
