[Nexus 4 General] tulongest:
My Nexus 4 shipped exactly on November 15 and received it exactly on November 17 5:45 PM EST at my door from the UPS guy as I was entering my house from work.................................................. which happened on another world-line.

Care to take a guess which anime/visual novel I'm referring to?
[Nexus 4 General] Mr.Fahrenheit:
Being in Limbo is like the " five stages of grief"

Denial - Confirmation/Shipping email does not arrive. You don't want to believe that Google screwed up.

Anger - People who ordered later are now starting to get their shipping emails and tracking numbers. You feel rage.

Bargaining - While everyone is enjoying their emails you keep calling CSR trying coax them into saying something useful.

Depression - Back order emails start rolling out. You haven't gotten a single notification since launch. Some people already have the phone.

Acceptance - You accept the fact that Google ****ed up and await information with a placid look on your face. XDA has become your home.

I'm at the Acceptance stage.
[Nexus 4 General] tulongest:

[Nexus 4 General] jnewman1991:

Customer service sent me a link to a survey...I filled it out as kindly as I could, but even then it was still angry.

Still in limbo here...
[Nexus 4 General] code65536:
Just a few things...

1) UPS My Choice notifies the day before arrival, not when a shipment is created. But in instances where a shipment is created a day before it is schedule to arrive, the two are equivalent, which is why it appeared as if UPSMC notifies on creation.

2) Because of #1, if your order is scheduled for delivery on Monday, you'll get a UPSMC notification shortly after midnight on Sunday in your time zone. So for East Coasters, in as little as half an hour from now (could be a bit longer, though).

3) All this talk about the people in "Limbo"... have we forgotten about all those people who are not in Limbo, but are one level below in Purgatory? You know, those with the dreaded up-to-three-week-backorder e-mails? :P

Now that's beyond Limbo , I called a CSR and as always she asked me if I received the BO mail and i said no , after a while she sent me a mail saying :

Unfortunately, your order is currently on back-order and will ship out to you within 3 weeks. Sorry for the delay in shipping.

To check the status of your order at any time, visit your Google Wallet account at https://wallet.google.com/manage/#transactions: and click 'View Order' next to your order.

Also, please note that your shipping fees will be refunded. !!!

them I replied saying how is this possible she answered :

Rest assured that Nexus 4 orders are being delivered based on the order in which they were received. Due to overwhelming demand we sold out of Nexus 4 extremely quickly.

"Within 3 weeks" is the only guidance I can provide at this time. I’ll only know the scheduled delivery date when you receive an email notification that your order has shipped.

Naturally, you will be refunded the shipping fees. P.S I am 8:43 PST

I don't think it's that we are worried about getting our phones, (i think it's safe to say we all have a device secured for us, if you see it in your transactions in the play store) what we have here , is a failure to communicate :) And that's the part that's worrisome.

Hey! This phone will definitely rock!!!!

I am from Uruguay, South America and as you can see, we'll not be getting this phone in the market until a couple of months or more, and at a very high price, ... but my brother is travelling to Miami in a week.

However, the Google Play Store is a little restrictive, first, I can't enter the store from here, even if I wanted it to be shipped to the USA, but even if I enter the store, they require the credit card to be American. There's some chances that I could get some credit card from aquaintances who live in the US, but I still have another question: is it required that the shipping address matches the credit card address? Or a friend living somewhere else can buy it for me and get it shipped to the hotel where my brother goes?

Thanks in advance! I am very excited to get it, but I still have these issues to figure out, any help is much appreciated!
