Well that gives me a little hope..

A for you guys that are complaining because you managed to get your order in first should stop. Almost everyone h were was trying to get through the entire time. It is a crap shoot. You got lucky to get through first but it doesn't mean someone who got an order in later cannot also have luck..

I stayed up all night and missed a day of work for this crap. I deserve mine just as quick as anyone else even though I could not get through until later that day. I trying that entire time though mostly..

Man I will be so pissed if my order goes on back order...

Same here; I've never had an issue getting a SIM from AT&T. They don't even make you wait in line to get one.

Thinking of going solavei but how does straight talk on the att side compare. Att is strong here but I don't think you get the same towers as post paid. Solavei offers roaming but tmo isn't as strong here. I'm on jersey shore.

Sorry for off topic stuff here

The $0.99 SIM or (micro SIM) "activation kit" doesn't require a contract. I just bought one online a couple of days ago.
[Nexus 4 General] dserber:
Sorry if this point has already been made, I didn't have time to read the hundreds of posts in this thread, but in my confirmation email from Google it says that my debit card wouldn't be charged until the device ships, but the charge showed up shortly after I placed the order. I'm still waiting on the shipping confirmation email. Anyone else notice this?
[Nexus 4 General] Nedlinin:
Store here wanted to charge me 25$ for the SIM. So, found it online for the 99 cents and bought it. Then had the sense of mind to call a second store and they said they'd swap it out for free.

So, definitely depends on the location.
[Nexus 4 General] MaxCarnage:
That's a pre-authorization charge; it's a normal thing that doesn't reflect the actual charge associated with shipping.
[Nexus 4 General] Mr.Fahrenheit:
That's how it's starting to look like for some people, myself included. With an email coming in stating that they ARE IN FACT doing back orders, I'm really saddened. I'm guessing that those who never got a confirmation email are backordered.

I Hope it isn't true, but it is looking that way.

:(
[Nexus 4 General] Knuxr:
That charge is just a hold, it should show as pending on your account. So they haven't charged you yet, just holding the money.
[Nexus 4 General] chrisjcks:
When I ordered my N7 on pre-order, Google took payment 3 days AFTER I'd received it. lol

So the whole "payment taken means shipped" is rubbish. :)
[Nexus 4 General] FatalityBoyZahy:
I also stayed up 'til 3AM EST, you're not alone. But luckily we still got our orders through. I have no phone right now so I'm really hoping we don't get screwed over.

That 3 - 5 Business Days INCLUDES processing, so around 2 -3 days for processing, and 2 days for shipping...
[Nexus 4 General] ackliph:
I'm pretty sure those SIM cards are pretty cheap. They want you to use their service. Charging a high price for a SIM card is not the way to go. You can order T-Mobile Monthly4G prepaid SIMs for about $2 and they come with roughly a $2 credit when opening your account.

That said, everything changes once you're under contract. Jack up the price of Service. Jack up the price of phones. Jack up the price of SIMs. Even the accessory prices are jacked up!

My Galaxy Nexus order:

Order confirmed 12:48a 4/30/12

Order shipped email 9:02a 5/1/12

Order delivered 11:07a 5/2/12

Shipped from KY to GA as well

So far N4:

Order confirmed 11:56a 11/13/12

Apparently a few more people are interested in the N4 than the GNex!
[Nexus 4 General] Mr.Fahrenheit:
So according to CS some people will get their back order email tomorrow. If you don't get shipping today, you can pretty much count on being back ordered.

So yes, all hell will break loose tomorrow.
[Nexus 4 General] Clayfree:
I ordered a .99 micro sim earlier and it's already been delivered. Unexpectedly I was able to get two N4s(one for my son) so I told him to go get a new sim. I've always heard they will just give you one in the store. I think this local store may be running their own side scam so I am calling t-mobile to complain and find out the real policy.
[Nexus 4 General] tengen:
Ugh. Backordered and they won't even have the decency to tell you until the day AFTER the ship date?
[Nexus 4 General] itznfb:
HAHAHA T-Mobile's site is now out of stock on Micro-Sim cards... these were in stock 2 days ago.
[Nexus 4 General] UCFJake:
If you don't mind me asking which N4 did you order and when? Also are you in the US?
[Nexus 4 General] _guzzler_:
Shipped mail received at 1am pst

Nothing shows on ups.
[Nexus 4 General] ninjames:
Actually no, you don't "deserve" to get yours as quick as anyone else. If somebody ordered before you, they deserve it before you. That's how the world works. You wanting it/trying for the same amount of time is immaterial. That's not me being mean, it's just the truth. There is no entitlement here.

And LOL at anybody who pays more than 99 cents for a sim card. You got played, hard.
[Nexus 4 General] crazeco:
My 8GB Shipped!

In the google play store:

Google Wallet:
[Nexus 4 General] gary1203:
I think looking at Google's showcase oof incpmpetence through this whole launch, even they don't know if a specific order is backordered or not until the day after the ship date.
[Nexus 4 General] Mr.Fahrenheit:
I know, right? Just sad.
[Nexus 4 General] wngmv:
:fingers-crossed: I'm hoping the all mighty deity would see how blasphemous that would be and send me N4 on its way.
[Nexus 4 General] mchimney:
I don't know how mobile works. However, for AT&T you can get free simcards only from corporate stores. Other retailers and smaller stores will charge
[Nexus 4 General] hev88:
I swear if I get put on the backorder list I'm just gonna cancel it and get it from t mobile and use an upgrade
[Nexus 4 General] ml3000:
Ordered mine at 8:32 am PST. Just called and they said my order is still pending.... GRRR
[Nexus 4 General] xdviper:
I ****ing hate all of you.
[Nexus 4 General] Mr.Fahrenheit:
I ordered the 16GB N4 @ 8:35 AM PST in California.
[Nexus 4 General] neuty:
Got an update from the tracking number. Only the 8g. The 16g hasn't changed from pending.
[Nexus 4 General] wngmv:
This is how popular Nexus4 is. For all those who cry conspiracy theory/marketing stunt.

It's been 2 days and 12 minutes after I have ordered. And it has not shipped yet.
[Nexus 4 General] iPathik:
No I haven't. Hoping i'll get the email soon.
[Nexus 4 General] mchimney:
Anyone get shipping confirmation after like 6am Est?
[Nexus 4 General] wngmv:
Great it's from KY. Guess that's the first batch. Where it is heading? Does it have an estimated delivery date yet?

Now just need to get it to ship before 6pm. Hurrrrrrrrrrrrrryyyyyy up Google!!!!!!
[Nexus 4 General] P00t:
still didn't receive mine. I was the first couple millions of people who to order.

First.!!
[Nexus 4 General] K Rich:
For those that are "switching" to T-Mobile prepaid, can I activate the SIM first (and use whatever number they give me) and then transfer my number? I'm looking to try T-Mobile for a week or so before cancelling AT&T to make sure I get decent coverage in my area.
[Nexus 4 General] dangerclose:
1x 16gb N4

Order date: Nov 13, 2012 8:31:34 AM PST

Shipped as of 1:09 AM EST

Marked as complete day of order.

(Florida)

Also ordered the bumper that is marked for november 15

and is still pending in wallet / autho in bank, no emails either.

Excited :good:
[Nexus 4 General] Mr.Fahrenheit:
I'm probably going to do that too, but I really want to get off their contract :/

Hence this phone.

What a fail. I shouldn't have sold my GSII thinking I'd get this phone. Unbelievable.
[Nexus 4 General] crazeco:
Yes. You just have to call in to have your number ported.
[Nexus 4 General] ghostrid3r:
I ordered 2 starter kits a day before the stock ran out in preparation for this onslaught. :p

Should be here tomorrow.
[Nexus 4 General] neuty:
Heading to Chicago, nothing about the estimated delivery date on the ups site. Ill update it if/when it changes.
[Nexus 4 General] osi13:
This is awesome. My order was submitted 12 minutes after the sale went live, and I still don't have a tracking number. I purchased an 8GB model, btw.
[Nexus 4 General] Valerianus:
Is there any ETA on when the phones will be back in stock?
[Nexus 4 General] ackliph:
YES. I did this.
[Nexus 4 General] Clayfree:
I talked with T-Mobile customer service and she called the local store. The store said they would sell me one for $10. So just by asking they cut the price in half. I declined and said I wanted to file a complaint. It's clearly listed as .99 on the site. They are checking to see if they can order one for me and will call me back this afternoon. This seems like a case of the stores trying to cash in. I explained to the rep that surely T-Mobile has set prices on these items and this just seems underhanded.
[Nexus 4 General] vexx786:
Has anyone who ordered a 16GB around 8:33AM in CA receive shipping info yet?
[Nexus 4 General] mgorman:
Google jipped us on shipping. By waiting til today to ship the 2 day shipping is now 5 days cause I won't get it til Monday. I could have paid for standard ground shipping and still got it Monday according to the ups site. Maybe Google will give me some money back
[Nexus 4 General] princebama:
Here's my deal

16 gb Nexus 4 placed at 838 PST

Play store shows "est Nov 15 shipping" and has since Tues. Shipping to Colorado

Google wallet shows pending.

Charge still pending in bank account.

Just called and he said my order has been successfully submitted and processed and I should receive shipping email """shortly""" -_____-

Followed by this email

Cheers,

Abe The Google Play Support Team
[Nexus 4 General] phoneman09:
I just got off the phone with Google Play Support to ask them about my order. He said the usual which is that there have been lots of orders for the device. I said I ordered mine within the first 15 min, he said that its possible that it will be shipped out today but he isn't sure. I said its been said that Google is taking orders and random and it doesn't matter what time you ordered the phone. He said that he has no idea. I know this really doesn't help but whatever. I am just disgusted as well with many of you on here.

Ordered exactly 48 hours ago, and it was the 16gb Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 General] dkotoric:
have you tried contacting tmobile, they are all sold out just like google.
[Nexus 4 General] Roxy:
I ordered 16gb Nexus 4 at 8:35am PST. It is still pending & not shipped.
[Nexus 4 General] gary1203:
I think we all need to believe that there should be at least one more batch of shipping email today.

Otherwise, all hell will break loose. There are just so many people that ordered before 9am haven't received anything yet. that might be a ****storm too large for Google if they are all on backorder
[Nexus 4 General] 0.0:
still waiting for mine to be shipped... ordered 16gb
[Nexus 4 General] neuty:
I wanted to return the 8g, but if my 16g doesnt ship then ill keep this one and cancel the other one. I hope they dont get backordered like i saw someone post in a previous page.
[Nexus 4 General] vexx786:
16GB @ 8:33 in socal, no shipping info either.
[Nexus 4 General] iPathik:
48hrs and 20 mins! no shipping information....i am scared S***less for the "backorder" message to come on -__-
[Nexus 4 General] Zaphodb2002:
16GB @ 8:36 in SoCal as well. There's still quite a bit of time in the day to ship, I have faith it'll ship today.
[Nexus 4 General] Mr.Fahrenheit:
Seems like a trend.

Those who ordered within the first 15 minutes haven't gotten anything.

What if.... What if Google really did **** up with the early release and automatically put those up as backorders...

If this is the case, then...

Well ****. I don't know.

I'm definitely not happy.
[Nexus 4 General] iPathik:
I find it strange that the 8GB are shipping already, most people that don't have any shipping information are the people that ordered the 16GB :rolleyes:
[Nexus 4 General] Simon5558:
The worst thing about this is not really waiting for the phone, it's because of google's inability to put a real date and time for anything. How hard would it have been to make a post about it?
[Nexus 4 General] nibrwr:
Ahhh haha what a fail
[Nexus 4 General] theyownus:
i did that about 6 months ago with no problem
[Nexus 4 General] plastik46:
mine shipped !!

My 16gb shipped this morning and i ordered at 8:36 :D
[Nexus 4 General] itsalexaye90:
Still no update from UPS on mine.
[Nexus 4 General] ml3000:
I find it amazing that we are seeing people who ordered after us getting theirs shipped now... mine is the 8GB
[Nexus 4 General] MaxCarnage:
Boy that would be irritating, especially since I got a confirmation email. I ordered at 10:33 CST and I'm still in limbo. I'm not going to rush to any judgements though; I'm content to wait and see what happens today. :)
[Nexus 4 General] ninjames:
That's not how it works. It never said "will be there in two days." It's two day shipping once its outs of Google's hands. This is how it works for every company that has ever shipped things.
[Nexus 4 General] Red Wolf:
I ordered same time as you, but still nothing wtf google

but nahh lol I love google :silly:
[Nexus 4 General] Roxy:
Oh yay... people who ordered earlier than others are getting screwed over.

Good job google.
[Nexus 4 General] xdviper:
That's bull****. People who've ordered within the first hour have a chance of getting backordered? Wow, I hope someone in NYC has a spare 16GB that they're willing to sell.
[Nexus 4 General] itznfb:
Except Amazon. And Newegg.

Recently if I order something from Amazon or Newegg before 6am I get it that same afternoon.
[Nexus 4 General] Zaphodb2002:
Deep breaths, that's just speculation. Someone said they got a 16GB shipped that was ordered at 8:36 PST.
[Nexus 4 General] mitchdickson:
There's a whole lot of butthurt in this thread. It's only a phone. Calm down.
[Nexus 4 General] joshyy_rey:
Ive tried to stay calm during all this and realize it hasnt been two days etc etc. but if I wake up to a back ordered email tomorrow...i will flip my sh!t:laugh:
[Nexus 4 General] tengen:
Has there been any real publicity on this whole ordering/shipping fiasco in the tech press? If not, I doubt Google will really do much to rectify the situation.
[Nexus 4 General] DroidDavi:
Next year they need retail partners. I know it would cost more but this proves there not capable of this. The fact that I stayed and ordered at 8:34 is bs if I end up on some back order sheet. 1st come 1st serve that's business basics
[Nexus 4 General] Simon5558:
Well to google's defense let's not forget that they need to ship all of the phones the same day and process all payments and associate all the tracking info with the accounts. Maybe they are just double checking all orders to look for problems
[Nexus 4 General] djkinetic:
Its the same deal as the Nexus 7 launch, also the Galaxy S 3 US launch for preorders was the same....dunno why I continue to do this to myself lol...honestly if Google set up a retail location I would rather wait in line then deal with online ordering at launch.
[Nexus 4 General] joshyy_rey:
If you participate on XDA, phones aren't just phones to you. and that's fact :good:
[Nexus 4 General] xdviper:
I wonder if I could visit Google's offices and ask if I could borrow a N4 while mines shipping.
[Nexus 4 General] ackliph:
Order Date: November 13, 2012 12:28:06 PM UTC-6

I ordered mine late. Still no e-mail. If mine goes to back order I'll just cancel and try again for a 16GB. Then I'll flip a table. (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
[Nexus 4 General] Roxy:
I guess google have not learned to do this crap better. 6-_-
[Nexus 4 General] djkinetic:
Agreed I got my order in at 8:57 AM PST, those within the first hr deserve to be shipped first...but eh such is life.
[Nexus 4 General] Xxav:
I'd love to see a screen shot of the backorder email lol.

It's definitely fake. People are gullible as hell
[Nexus 4 General] dkotoric:
why is it amazing most shipping company's they only care about order date and not order time, but for some people it seems to be to hard to understand that. Every order placed on the 13th which is pretty much all of ours are randomly spread out. Time has no effect on it.
[Nexus 4 General] joshyy_rey:
anybody know if it's possible to call and see if youre going to get the back ordered email of death tomorrow?
[Nexus 4 General] Simon5558:
Again google said it would ship on november 15th. They always said it would take up to 2 business day to process and ship the item. If they ship today they are respecting what they said. Now if it doesn't ship today, thats another story...
[Nexus 4 General] karendar:
Failthread is fail.
[Nexus 4 General] mackster248:
Have your guys CC been charged already? Mine has and it hasn't shipped yet. I thought they don't charge the card until it ships?
[Nexus 4 General] xderekaustinx:
I actually cancelled my 8GB via the link in the order email & called Google to double check it was cancelled...they told me it was & my 16GB was ordered (I was able to order it shortly after the 8GB)...and this morning I got a shipping confirmation for the 8GB model. Called support and they told me it was never cancelled (total horse sh*t) and have no idea on the 16GB shipping status.

I'm quite tempted to cancel the 16GB order all together and just call it a day...but who the hell knows if it'll actually cancel and I'll just be stuck in the same situation again. As I would really rather not wait 3 weeks for the larger phone, as I could get by with the 8GB fairly easily I imagine

Very oddly frustrating for sure.
[Nexus 4 General] joshyy_rey:
this is a google release....so anything is possible
[Nexus 4 General] Roxy:
* Shrug * I called twice earlier this morning and both rep said that my order is in a ' chargeable ' state.

( They told me the same thing yesterday )

My tracking number just updated and its in Louisville, KY
[Nexus 4 General] osi13:
I went to a T-Mobile corporate store roughly 4 months ago and they wanted $20 for a SIM card, and a re-seller wanted $30. If you're switching to T-Mobile's monthly 4G pre-paid, you need a SIM card, and activation kit. You cannot activate service on your phone without the activation kit. You can also order a full sized SIM card for $0.99, and cut it yourself. You can buy a die cutter for less than $5 shipped on eBay, and I'm sure some stores will cut them for you.
[Nexus 4 General] itznfb:
Nothing with this process has really bothered me. I figure if I get it early next week then whatever. However, if I get put on a back order list when I made my order within the first 5 minutes then I'll probably cancel as well. I'll take that as a sign that I should just stick with my unlimited plan from Verizon.
[Nexus 4 General] Prod1702:
Buddy of mine ordered his 5 mins before me on the 13th. I got ordered mine at 840 pst, he got his at 835 pst. he has a tracking number from wallet but no email yet. The tracking number has no info.

Edit: Also to add T-mobile is sold out of the phone online. Good luck getting it in a store as welll.
[Nexus 4 General] itznfb:
As I was typing this I got two Delivery alerts from UPS... neither were Google. Lol Cabelas and Backcountry damn you!
[Nexus 4 General] tengen:
I agree on the stated shipping timeline - but that doesn't apply to the completely botched ordering system, the complete lack of reliable communication with customers, etc. etc. Even if Google ships out today, the whole affair will still have been an utter screwup.

And if it turns out that people do get backordered...
[Nexus 4 General] wngmv:
Calm down? This thread is heading 10,000 posts now and (almost) none of us even has the phone in our hands.
[Nexus 4 General] heat361:
8 or 16gb
[Nexus 4 General] djkinetic:
The problem is that if the backorder email is legit, then that means google oversold the product, quite honestly for a company as big as google, you would think they'd have a count of their inventory nationwide at each distribution center, then on the website they'd have some sort of database that had a count of the inventory on hand, and then as the orders were placed the database would keep a running count till 0, and then stop orders all together, its pretty simple to implement especially for a company as large as google, sadly they once again botched the launch again by overselling a device much like the N7 at launch...
[Nexus 4 General] grubbster:
That is fantastic! Is it a 16g or 8g model?

For real,

I bought this phone to replace my G2X (RIP thanks to a 30lb dumbbell) but I'm currently rocking my 3gs and im fine (5.0.1 JBroken does everything i need). I'd like to have my phone earlier but really until then I can wait, esp for $150 savings. I got other things to do other than hitting refresh on my Gmail.

Just relax and look at buying some other things with the money you saved on the phone (Floor speakers for me).

[Nexus 4 General] chrisjcks:
Why not, wasn't it these people who basically crashed the site?

I was told 8am UK, I checked at 8:12 ish and it was available, there was never no need to destroy the website, these people 'should' get it later for messing up the experience for everyone. :)

lol
[Nexus 4 General] Simon5558:
The shipping emails are going out right now. Be patient and you will receive it :) Google did that in the past. They ship the items in big batch then process the tracking numbers.
[Nexus 4 General] mitchdickson:
What's your point? People need to take a chill pill.
[Nexus 4 General] crazeco:
My 8GB shipped by UPS 2nd Day Air from KY. It's coming to Portland, OR.

There's no way I'm going to see this any sooner than Monday night.
[Nexus 4 General] ninjames:
Right, but you also pay for the processing. It's well-defined. Google made NO promises regarding processing. You paid for two-day shipping, not a two-day turnaround.
[Nexus 4 General] jjcore:
I live there and I can't get a shipping notice. I'm about to walk down to the warehouse and get it myself.
[Nexus 4 General] joshyy_rey:
My guess is Google just went ahead and printed some shipping labels...but nobody's phone has left the warehouse. So Even those who have emails wont get their phone any sooner than the rest of us. Why would Google do that? I dont know. Why Would Google screw another NExus launch..questions, questions.... :confused:
[Nexus 4 General] xMemphisx:
The worst part is that people who ordered when it first went live look like the most likely to get screwed. Meanwhile, the people who showed up after 12:00pm EST and just hit refresh a bunch of times until they hit a server that still thought there was inventory have shipping/tracking numbers in some cases. Da fuq?
