Dude, your replacement has NOTHING to do with the back order we are experiencing. Even though we are all hanging out to dry, you will get a replacement likely within a couple days. Replacements are a separate set of stock. I hate Google launches but they have the best RMA/return policy. Trust me... I went through more than a few Nexus 7's trying to get one right.

I'm enjoying http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/8/80794

I wish it was slightly less bitter but it has a nice molasses aftertaste. I'm glad I decided to taste it but I may not buy again. Gulden Draak, Brooklyn Local 2, and Brugse Zot Dubbel are more my taste. But I can never resist trying something new.

Speaking of Brugse Zot, we took a tour of De Halve Maan brewery in Brugges few years ago. It was a chilly day and having the dubbel draught and the beer cheese soup was fantastic. Recommend.

I just got this email a few minutes ago. Hopefully Limbo 3 peoples' order will be shipping out soon!

"I'm getting back to you on your request for information on your Nexus 4. I was curious to know if you received an email regarding a back order status? If that is the case, you should be getting and email in 3-5 days informing you of tracking information, as well, we are working to ship all items in your order as quickly as possible within the 3 week time frame. You will receive an email confirmation as soon as your order is processed and on its way. Also, after looking further into your account I see that everything is on track."

I love Widmer beers... especially the seasonals, reserves, etc. My favorite by them by far is the their Full Nelson IPA. New Zealand Nelson hops are my favorite... flavorful, floral, and not overly bitter. It used to be called Dead Lift IPA. Then it disappeared and I freaked out, only to be replaced in name only to Full Nelson. You should try it if you like IPAs. It's one of the few I'll drink now of the style as I'm in a malty phase. It tastes like candy up front, and balanced by a very nice hop profile without being like quinine. I love browns... but if you overly hop it, it just ruins the style.

Have you called Google Play for RMA? Even being sold out, I'll bet they will rush you a replacement. That's usually how this works, unless they pulled out all the stops with this launch and off loaded their replacement supply.

csr survey

Anyone else doing the csr surveys? I know they are just doing their jobs but they should be giving us real information and not lies or scripted answers. I know these surveys sometimes can affect bonuses and pay if there is one way to motivate people its with money. Ive been doing the phone and email survey every day giving the most negative answers. hoping that will motivate them to find some real answers. Not sure of any real affect though
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
What would it be then?? What do you suggest...lol
[Nexus 4 General] 2015Ducatimulti:
I always told them I would do the survey but as I was transferred I would hang up lol:p
[Nexus 4 General] kcbboy:
Did a couple of them. The first one I gave postive review but then the next I realized the Rep BS'd me and I've given a negative review to every CSR since.
[Nexus 4 General] fitzman49:
Not sure if anyone else has heard this but a CSR told me today they will be getting another huge batch on Friday for the black Friday rush. Not sure if it is indeed true but figured I would pass along the word.

[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
Did anybody get the "nexus 4 in stock" app from the play store?
[Nexus 4 General] Ainvar:
I have done the surveys but I have also made a note in each one I have done online or over the phone that the lack of information is very unprofessional for a company of their size. That if they were treated in this manner they would do all things possible to find out more information and remediation of the issue. That they should not hold to a double standard and do what they would want done to them or their loved ones.
[Nexus 4 General] Jayrod1980:
They are pretty highly acclaimed. I've only ever seen them on tap or in the bigger bottles. Very premium price as well... but you tend to use a lot of premium ingredients when making higher gravity/ABV beers and that really drives the cost up. Sometimes making a very hoppy 8% beer costs 3X the ingredients and special equipment vs a run of the mill 4.5-5% beer. You need filters and whatnot for all the dry hopping, tumblers, tornados, special strains of yeast that can consume the sugars, as well as pre-cultivating those strains so they have big enough armies to take it all on, plus if it's a lager, much more time taken to ferment... which limits your production, etc. Plus breweries like Brooklyn don't produce on a scale or have a volume to get the economies of scale that say Boston Beer (Sam Adams) has. Fun facts... Boston Beer is the largest American owned brewery, but only has 1% of the US market share for beer. What...what about Anheiser-Bush you say? They merged/got bought out by Ambev, a Belgian beer consortium that makes Stella Artois among others. Coors is another... same treatment by Canadian Molson, and Miller, which was bought by a big South African consortium SAB, to become Miller-SAB. Then with the Ambev deal, they merged and became Miller-Coors.

I tend to only drink micro-brew (Boston Beer included... they help start the trend and are pioneer) mostly because they are the only game in town to get really good unfiltered beers... and usually unpasteurized at stronger ABV levels.

Beer before WWII, even by the big three was pretty decent, but there were many many more companies out there prior to the Prohibition. After that, only the big boys could diversify to stay in business. After the repeal, there were only a few guys left, and it got worse during WWII. Ingredients were scarce and mostly women were left home, who preferred lighter beers to the heartier stuff produced. That is where we get our American Lagers from... girlie, tasteless, and over fizzy fare. The only good thing Jimmy Carter did was ban the brewing of beer by the citizenry... which led to the micro brew movement.

I've heard from "phandroid" that it's legit, that the info comes directly from Google. *shrugs* Guess we'll find out.

There is actually another checker online, Frum Google, directly, guess that's where the info comes from.

[Nexus 4 General] Richieboy67:
Great, just what we need. Does anyone remember that it was all page refreshes and auto refreshes that messed up the whole order process?

I guess it does not matter much at this point.

I was told by support that 3 weeks is a worst case and it should be more like week seeing as a week has passed.

SERIOUSLY doubt they will be getting some huge shipment in on Friday... unless they already planned for that in their production model. I'm sure though at this point, with all the f5 people out there, that they will eat most of that supply up just in back orders. I'm not going to be calling Google anymore, unless its for a device exchange. There's just no point getting lied to.
[Nexus 4 General] compuw22c:
So then, it's just guessing at that point...Google knows less than a random number generator...

So Google now has a link up on the N4 page in the play store to buy from T-Mobile? Aren't they sold out too?
[Nexus 4 General] soulz:
Got 2 profit 1, need to buy another :). Next shipment?
[Nexus 4 General] enviii:
If orders open up again BEFORE we receive our devices, how many of you will re-order? I know I'm going to order a second one. After seeing how messed up last weeks orders were I wouldn't be surprised if orders placed this Friday (assuming they take orders) will ship before our back-ordered devices.

I'll just return or refuse delivery of the second device. Maybe if prices are still reasonable I'll just sell it on craigslist or something. Or one of you XDA'ers if someone needs it.
[Nexus 4 General] PaisanNYC:
HAHAH Funny as ****! "We don't have any in stock, but click here to go to T-Mobile's website where they don't have any in stock either!"
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
It does give you a notification, it turns to a star in your notification bar once they are in. One of the apps tells you that it pulls in at least 150mb a month. Doesn't say how often it checks the server though. Not sure if the other app gives a notification.

I asked my specialist CSR about having a free bumper, just because I wanted one! :)

"Hi Paul,

Thank you for contacting again. At this time there is no additional update to your device. I do not know which source told you about a free bumper,

but at this time that is a false promise. The shipping compensation at this time would be the only compensation for this inconvenience. I do apologize again for this matter.

Once again, when an available Nexus 4 is ready to be shipped, you will be notified. As well, it appears we have not charged you yet, typically when we do, you should see

some good news as far as moving the process along."

If I were you I think I'd hold out for the S4 rumored to come out in February. Don't get me wrong, it's a great phone, but I wouldn't consider it worthy of an upgrade from an S3 given the time it will take you to get your hands on one. Just remember this: no removable battery and no expandable storage.

The main reason I got the N4 was because I support a lot of the things Google stands for: open access, open/pure devices. If this means as much to you as it does to me, then welcome aboard.
