I wouldn't be so sure. Shipping info didn't go out until late Monday night last week, so patience will be key. That, or having CSRs consistently give the same story for about a 2 hour period across dozens of callers.
[Nexus 4 General] Jayrod1980:
Well this may very well be but in the past nothing went out until the evening so I wouldn't get too depressed. Either way it will ship by next week.

One change wasn't invisible. There is now a grey bar near the top that says "Introducing Google Play. Learn More". They added that this morning across all the Play Store pages.

I haven't seen a second BO email come through yet so I for one am holding onto the sliver of hope that we get news tonight. Although when people start talking about hope my grandpa's words come ringing through, "You can hope in one hand and crap in the other, see which one gets filled first."

Order Status

Just called and checked on order status. The lady asked me if I received the back order email. I told her, I did not know. I did receive it. So she checked and said it look like I did not receive the email. My order went through at 5:08 CST. So, she says let me check with shipping. Then she patches me through with Bruce in shipping. He asked if I received the BO email. I told him I got the stock email this morning. He told me it was a BO email. But, that it look like my order should ship either Thursday or Friday at the latest. And as a favor for me, (I told him I was retired military). He would try to push it up for me. He says he is working on it and would send me an email in an hour. Since he was in shipping, seems like we might have a little hope for shipping this week. If I get the email from him later, I will post it.
[Nexus 4 General] loomism2:
So I just stopped by my useless local T-Mobile store to try and get a micro sim. The guy said a micro sim would cost $10, but he was pretty sure the phone would have one in the box with it. I haven't heard that myself, but maybe it is something that is so obvious it doesn't need to be said, except to me. So, does the N4 come with a micro sim card?

Also, he said the store didn't have any N4's, and never did. He didn't think any stores locally (Cincinnati) got any N4's. Of course, this guy may be just as useless as the CSR's.

Anyway, someone please let me know if I need to get a micro sim from T-Mobile's site or not. I don't know what to believe any more.
[Nexus 4 General] idale:
Late this week seems reasonable, since that would be two weeks from the BO email and would allow a week to get all the orders out and to their destinations. Though "at the latest" implies that hopefully orders will be starting to flow earlier this week. Time will tell, of course, but seems reasonable. :)
[Nexus 4 General] dkotoric:
let us know if you actually do receive a email in an hour.
[Nexus 4 General] raycpe:
Since when did they start transferring calls to shipping? That seems a little odd.
[Nexus 4 General] emuneee:
Maybe the transfer to shipping is a transfer to the CSR sitting right next to the CSR you called.

*insert "Hello this is Peggy GIF" here*
[Nexus 4 General] tulongest:

[Nexus 4 General] stopswitch:
You need a activation kit to use a T-Mobile prepaid plan, that guy is full of BS.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus takju (GSM)
[Nexus 4 General] idale:
Ones that T-Mobile sells would possibly have one in the box. Otherwise, ordering from the Play Store nobody knows what network you'll be using it on. So you'll need to pick up a SIM. If your local store would charge $10, just order online from T-Mo since it's just $1. Probably be here before your N4 anyway.
[Nexus 4 General] raycpe:
Sorry, I haven't be able to review the last few pages yet, but did another BO email go out this morning? what did it read? was it from Victor?

It seems to me that the people who had their orders changed last time were people that ultimately got backordered. I might be wrong, but it at least gives some level of false hope.

[Nexus 4 General] MatAuc12:
how nice of you to lie to get bumped in front of people who don't lie.

Besides, your whole post sounds like a sham to me because we already know that they are able to.verify if we got BO email

They ask you to make it quicker. If you say no, they check because that's the first step before looking the actual problem.
[Nexus 4 General] MaxCarnage:
Did that change? Because before they had no way of knowing themselves who got the email or not, and were basing their responses to people who called based on whether the customer told them they had gotten the email or not.

And don't stress about him getting "bumped up" or whatever; the guy was trying to appease him but they're not bumping anyone up to the front of the line for faster shipping. I'm a military veteran too, by the way; should I start tossing that out there when talking to CSRs for better service? ;):rolleyes:
[Nexus 4 General] WhenBearsReign:
Just got off the phone with Google Wallet about my predicament that is very similar to yours. They told me that updating the card will not work and that a "specialist" (the supposedly exist?) will be contacting me so that I can push it through with the new card. Otherwise, I would have to cancel and resubmit the order. I really, truly wish this weren't such a ****ing headache and Google Wallet allowed you to add a checking account because it would alleviate a lot of headache. Luckily, my current card is still active until the new one is activated so, hopefully, it charges before the 14 day automatic cancellation of the card (which is the 5th) and I have nothing to worry about. Fat chance of that, though.
[Nexus 4 General] loomism2:
What he said.
[Nexus 4 General] kzoodroid:
No ones order date has changed, it still should be the 13th for everyone in Google Wallet, its the last updated date in the PlayStore that changed to the 17th and 19th (again this is not the order date its the last date Google update the information) as well as a shipping date of the 15th that was changed to pending..
[Nexus 4 General] c0LdFire:
You would PREFER to have your checking account number floating around the internet instead of a credit card?!

[Nexus 4 General] WhenBearsReign:
Yes. It's a creditable business. I'm not giving my checking account number to some Chinese counterfeit iPhone maker, I'd be giving it to Google. That's the whole point of Google Wallet, to have your personal finances secured and put in one place.

[Nexus 4 General] loomism2:
So, on T-Mobile's website it has a micro sim card for free for a limited time (regular price $10) and a waived activation fee (regularly $35) with a new 2-year contract. WTF? How do I get the $1 micro sim that I can call and activate later, and why would it cost $35?

[Nexus 4 General] WhenBearsReign:
Still a whole lot of Monday left, don't give up hope. tbh, I'd be only mildly shocked if we didn't get shipping numbers today. The fact that the Nexus 4 still isn't available on the Play Store on Cyber Monday is a bad sign. Not even pre-order. We'll have to wait and see.

[Nexus 4 General] chrisjcks:
Not too sure about that, its 7:42pm here in the UK. Lol
[Nexus 4 General] Clayfree:
I would think if they put the Nexus 4 back on sale before shipping notices went out then they really would have a riot on their hands. If they have extra stock I would expect it to go up as they are filling the last of the backorders.

You're right about the timing - last Monday shipping notices started dropping around 7:30 CST.

I'm your typical Limbo 3. I placed my order on the 13th, got the standard BO notice on the 15th, shipping status went from 15th to 17th to Pending. I've sent only a couple of random emails in reply to the CSRs, and this was a response from an earlier email (last week), but just came in this morning (11/26).

"Hello Jason,

Thank you for contacting Google Play! Apologies for not receiving a backorder notification update on your order sooner. Due to overwhelming demand we sold out of Nexus 4 extremely quickly. I’ve verified that your delivery is on backorder and will ship within the next two weeks.

We’ll send you a notification when your order has shipped and will credit the shipping charges.

The Google Play Team"

No one else got this??
[Nexus 4 General] MatAuc12:
It was always the case, people started the rumour because they "asked" but if you said no they would put you on hold and come back and say "apparently we did send you a backorder email"

And I don't believe he got bumped either but the fact he thinks he did and is proud and happy about it... and also "brag" in front of the people he actually would bump... is just wrong imo.
