Called Google just now. The rep I talked to sounded extremely tired and asked me if I was calling about Nexus4. (I had 2 questions so I just went ahead and asked the non-Nexus one).

She told me that her supervisor told her that anybody in limbo should call back after 3 to inquire the status of their order. That is 3 EST today. My guess is if you don't have a tracking number before 3 you are screwed. I feel bad for the CSRs. They probably know nothing and had nothing to do with the cluster**** but got the full frontal of the rage.

Anyway it's only 1.5 hrs to go. And I picked up a Note II from tmobile for 99 after rebate. I don't know if I still want a Nexus 4.
[Nexus 4 General] lamlux:
Phone arrived at 11:38am :)

I will leave now, best of luck to all.. one of my friend who is local to me ordered 10 min before me and hasn't gotten jack yet so.. blah :rolleyes:
[Nexus 4 General] the_r2d2:
Manhattan here, nothing for Google yet...
[Nexus 4 General] benderunit9000:
you can update your sig now
[Nexus 4 General] tengen:
When did you place your order? Just curious.

I signed for a UPS account about a year ago before I logged in, it didn't say anything just said info received. Then I logged in and next thing I know it's in KY in transit with 1 Business Day left. Expected Delivery Monday Nov. 19th.
[Nexus 4 General] wsnnwa:
You're gonna have a bad time.

Well it sounds like....I'm going to have a bad time.
[Nexus 4 General] DarkSi08:
Mine shipped despite the charge dropping. No new charges yet.
[Nexus 4 General] Geo411m:
So TRUE!
[Nexus 4 General] yahoowizard:
Ordered initially at 9:50 PST, was on Pending for a while and also said would ship on the 15th. Woke up and saw a tracking number and estimated delivery of Monday :)
[Nexus 4 General] vitsdroid:
I'm starting to think that the bumper it's what is causing the delay to my order. Seams like the bumpers sold out in the first 10min so anyone that bought one got sent to the end of there line. It probably the bumper. Better safe than sorry!
[Nexus 4 General] shojus:
The Note 2 STOMPS the Nexus 4 (imo)! I have it, But I have a Nexus 4 coming too cause it is PURE Google and I LOVE it (I think)... Well I shouldn't say I have it coming cause I am in LIMBO LAND w/ everyone else.... :(
[Nexus 4 General] turbo_lew:
I got my phone this afternoon (UK) but no news on the bumper.

Now to sort out a wireless charger.
[Nexus 4 General] coolhand1:
Just got mine

I just got mine and I have to say, its pretty awesome. I've never owned a Nexus device (I'm coming from a evo3d) so its nice to have a great phone without a bunch of carrier bull****.
[Nexus 4 General] Hero_Guy:
Bottom of the line here, didn't order a bumper. I'm gonna take a nap and hope I get something. I've been getting emails all day but nothing from Google. Not even an email about a delay.
[Nexus 4 General] silverbladef:
This phone better be worth all this drama.
[Nexus 4 General] powerwagon:
Got tired of the bull****...cancelled order and went and picked up the Note 2. Kinda glad the Nexus went on backorder...would have been a stupid "upgrade" from a One X. Good luck to all you guys waiting though...I wish yall the best of luck!
[Nexus 4 General] Geo411m:
I believe you may be right. I ordered a bumper as well and I'm in limbo

I had the note 2 and while it's a nice phone it doesn't stomp the Nexus 4 at all. Honestly the note feels a little cheap in the hand. I will say the battery life is AMAZING.
[Nexus 4 General] MisakaImouto:
Technically the Nexus 4 is better.

1280x768 instead of 1280x720

320ppi instead of whatever the Note 2 has

AOSP device while the Note II's Exynos SoC still has no sources released

Newer S4 Pro instead of the quad core Cortex A9
[Nexus 4 General] NelsonTheMoron:
I feel like just calling Google just to get this whole thing sorted...
[Nexus 4 General] DarkSi08:
Mine is on its way. I'll take pics on Monday, if no one else does first.
[Nexus 4 General] richteralan:
Exactly. I don't understand the hostility and rage toward CSRs. But very few dare to show any hostility and rage toward higher decision makers.

I guess the higher social status you are, more people will worship you blindly.
[Nexus 4 General] pongalong:
typical situation, placed my order at 8:35 PST, i'd say within 5 minutes of the page going live, no tracking and no backorder notice. currently phone-less for the past several days as i had to return my GS3 (long story but unavoidable).
[Nexus 4 General] Acuity:
Calling Google will leave you with more questions than answers.
[Nexus 4 General] jmejiaa:
Are you new here?
[Nexus 4 General] sarcosis:
I don't know if that's the case. I'm in Limbo and didn't order a bumper. 11:41:05 EST.

Sent from my Windows 8 device using Board Express
[Nexus 4 General] Hero_Guy:
Poor poor guy. So naive....:rolleyes::p
[Nexus 4 General] Clayfree:
Both orders placed around 11:50am CST
[Nexus 4 General] NelsonTheMoron:
Your only other option now is to email them if you wish to contact Google (though I am pretty sure you will not get an answer for a while). I ordered around the same time, and I am in the same situation as you. Just wondering, but did you get a confirmation email?
[Nexus 4 General] jmejiaa:
I wouldn't be rude to the CSR's, You get farther being nice.. Once can complain and moan no problem though, as long as you aren't rude. They are representing the company and should be able to help, just don't make it personal..

Applies to any CS call you ever make. Being a **** will usually get you less and just make you less miserable, you may get the same results but from experience it takes much longer.
[Nexus 4 General] Luxferro:
It's not the bumpers. I ordered both the phone and bumper separately. the phone first, then the bumper 20 minutes later. Bumper has shipped today. Phone in limbo.

But if you ordered them both on the same order, there is a chance one item might hold up the whole shipment. which is why I did it separate.. $6 extra in shipping for the piece of mind and all i get is Limbo Phone.
[Nexus 4 General] zizo79:
Just got off the phone with Google. I was told that if I don't get a shipping email by Saturday and then I am likely on backorder (I am--got the email but told them that I didn't). The supervisor told me that he'll request a free bumper for my troubles along with refunding the shipping.
[Nexus 4 General] wililye:
mine order in November 13, 2012 11:56:16 EST

and I got BO mail yesterday google play and wallet status is still pending all I can see is "Shipping estimate: November 15, 2012"

so I called google yesterday about 5pm EST rep said "you'll have your phone anyday in 3 weeks"

today I just called google 1:30pm EST she said "you gonna have shipping infomation today and you'll have yours monday"

she didn't even ask me about BO mail things she just asked me email address
[Nexus 4 General] ruthlesset:
Ordered my 16GB with a bumper and it got shipped today. Just keep your fingers crossed :)
[Nexus 4 General] jmejiaa:
Nope, no bumper ordered here.
[Nexus 4 General] NelsonTheMoron:
And no. I already called them several times, to be honest. I already read that a lot of people called them. Some other members stated that they got their shipping information after calling them, so I thought MAYBE I could try it.
[Nexus 4 General] bozzykid:
Clearly that rep gets off at 3. haha
[Nexus 4 General] barondebxl:
Im just speculating, but it looks like google didnt have enough devices to fulfill all orders ( i know we all know that), so they shipped what they had to a few people yesterday, then they received more devices late last night/early this morning and ship them again. Again just speculating.
[Nexus 4 General] NelsonTheMoron:
So...should I just call them?
[Nexus 4 General] jnewman1991:
This is all true. I worked Guest Services at a waterpark this summer, sort of like customer service, and the nice customers always ended up with whatever they wanted relatively quick. People that were rude and yelling usually didn't get jack.
[Nexus 4 General] M0D3RNAFR0:
"if you ordered a Nexus 4 on launch day, You're going to have a bad time"
[Nexus 4 General] AmesCell:
I was thinking of calling for that reason also. In case they bumped orders, but I think it's random.
[Nexus 4 General] Dsrtstorm:
I officially received my Nexus 4 today, I'm located in NY.
[Nexus 4 General] NelsonTheMoron:
That's exactly what I am thinking right now. If it is, then it's a really fail system of getting things done.
[Nexus 4 General] bleuiko:
They said that yesterday about today. On Saturday they'll probably say to wait for the email on Monday.
[Nexus 4 General] zrblnk:
I said to hell with the back order and just hit up a t-mo store and got one, not waiting "3 weeks" to get one
[Nexus 4 General] Mr.Fahrenheit:
**** his bumper and shipping! I will flat out cancel if I'm on back order.

WTF is this ****?!?! I order within 10 minutes and I get royally screwed while people who order an hour later are playing with their phones????

No ****ing way!

I understand that they screwed up and didn't deliver. That can happen, even with Google, but FIFO is something you can't **** up. If you **** that up, you are completely incompetent and beyond redemption.

**** your logic Google! People are just sitting here wondering, and CSRs are out there, clueless, trying to figure something out, while you keep silent and go about your business!

UNPROFESSIONAL!
[Nexus 4 General] ChrystianV:
I think that is just a coincidence, I talked to a supervisor and he was as clueless as the CSR, I asked the supervisor to do a query on his database for my order, his answer "I can only see what you see on your wallet account"
[Nexus 4 General] booyakasha:
How's your diet? That could go either way...
[Nexus 4 General] shojus:
Ya, It def does NOT have the premium feel but it can play the most demanding games without a hiccup and I have already seen some reviews about the gameplay on the N4 (some lag)... BUT, it has waaaay to many features than one could fathom and it has an sd card slot and a removable 3100mah battery and can work on ANY network I throw at it... All that being said it is NOT for everyone.. :)

You said the word of the day.... "Technically"! Cause technically I should already have my N4 as I ordered it in the first 5-10 min just like everyone else here... lol
[Nexus 4 General] NelsonTheMoron:
Then this really makes me wonder how Google is doing the distributions...This is just plain ridiculous...
[Nexus 4 General] booyakasha:
Those people have no idea what is going on either. The lady I talked to was clueless, even went so far as to remind me it could take 1-2 days for processing (its now over 3 without any communication). They read from scripts, end of story.
[Nexus 4 General] powerwagon:
Ive owned a ****load of phones in my day...pretty much all the latest and greatest and I have to say, you are correct. ..this phone has me in awe.

[Nexus 4 General] the_r2d2:
Anyone who ordered at 9:01 PST on 11/13 get a shipping notification or delivery of their n4?

Thank you!
[Nexus 4 General] Dsrtstorm:
Just give me a second, eating a meal first before I play around with it.
[Nexus 4 General] NelsonTheMoron:
Yeah, I can tell they have no clue what is going on. I talked to one this morning and she had no clue what is happening nor did she even know what I was talking about -_-. I have a really good feeling I and probably many other users in limbo are on the BO list...
[Nexus 4 General] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
I heard wallmart is carrying them.. don't know how true that is.. someone posted it on G+ but may be worth a shot for those who couldnt even get a backorder in :-/
[Nexus 4 General] moneyslap03:
i just want to walk in the warehouse with my arms up like "hell is my phone!"
[Nexus 4 General] ugotproblemz:

PM w/ offer(s)
[Nexus 4 General] NelsonTheMoron:
I ordered at 08:34 PST on 11/13 and still no shipping notification on the n4. I have not received any emails from Google at all...
[Nexus 4 General] codyman091286:
Made my first call today and they basically gave me the run around like everyone else. I then asked the CSR "out of curiosity, are you guys shipping these in any particular order?" Was pretty shocked when the CSR told me that no they are not shipping in any particular order and they are just trying to get em all out the door. So much for ordering within the first 5 minutes...:eek:
[Nexus 4 General] ugotproblemz:
So i got my tracking number this morning...

Checked at 11am and no info

just checked again at 1:55pm and it shows...

Scheduled Delivery:

Monday, 11/19/2012, By End of Day

Last Location:

Louisville, KY, United States, Friday, 11/16/2012

Both phone and bumper are shipped together! yay!

ADDITIONAL INFO: i order at 11:45 AM EST and shipping to NY

So i assume it will arrive at my local UPS warehouse tmr. maybe i can request to pick it up instead =]
[Nexus 4 General] NelsonTheMoron:
So basically, from what the CSR told you, it pretty much seems like random distributions at this point?
[Nexus 4 General] Jackasaur:
ordered the nexus 4 at 8:32AM PST and the bumper at 8:35AM PST, No shipping confirmation, no BO email, no more pending charges on my CC, I'm going craaazzy up in hurrr. I'm hoping that it'll magically appear at my house today around 12. That'd be amazing. :p
[Nexus 4 General] ohaaron:
Got mine! To the first impressions thread! Good luck, everyone!
[Nexus 4 General] Jin486:
I ordered at 8:45 am PST and had my order pending for the past couple days. In my bank I noticed that they did already take the money from my credit card though so there was still hope. It wasn't until today that I got my tracking number from Google. They estimated my shipping to be on Monday. It is shipping from Kentucky and arriving to me in the Bay Area
[Nexus 4 General] vexx786:
Why did I order early -_-
[Nexus 4 General] Roxy:
You know... despite the lack of notification ( no shipment confirmation, NOTHING! ) I wish it would just show up on my door step today... but eh... since UPS my choice ain't tellin' me anything... I'm screwed.

TEAM FML REPRESENT!
[Nexus 4 General] wngmv:
Did not intend to start a comparison thread between Note II and N4. IMO note II is still a little bit too confusing with its features. But I have just played Most Wanted on it and it looked AMAZING.

I don't know exactly what is going on... but I have a page monitor set up on the Google Play store page for the 16GB N4, and it has updated like 5 time in the last minute. The tool is supposed to notify me of any changes to the page and then highlight them when Maybe it will go live right at midnight PST. I'm going to start making copies of the page source, compare the next time it notifies me of a change.
[Nexus 4 General] klin1344:
That is smart... maybe I should do that as well. :)
[Nexus 4 General] eep2378:

I wish you a very jolly day
[Nexus 4 General] djkinetic:
I wish they would just say exactly when the order button will go live instead of making us wait in suspense, I would love to order it the minute the page is live, but having to stay up all night when you have work the next day is a pain.
[Nexus 4 General] Geo411m:
It's obvious you're the one that should re-read that comment. He said "10 per person per day".

Want a Nexus 4? Be at our store at The O2 in London this Tuesday (13/11) at 8am and you could be buying yours on the roof AND getting a free 32in TV too!

Looks like it is definitely available from 8am tomorrow morning in the UK...

When they are going to have it in stores in the UK has nothing to do with when Google is going to enable purchasing on the Play Store.

Sometimes it pays off to have Tues and Weds off. Black Ops 2 at midnight and play til 3am EST when the order Page goes live(hopefully)

[Nexus 4 General] trillo69:
Just a dumb question, but did google say anything more (on google+ or something) after the "it was a huge successful bla bla bla"? I mean something official coming from Google or someone related to them that it isn't a CSR.

Thanks in advance and forgive the silly question, I'm just a bit tired of reading rumors, 'cause I couldn't order mine. :S

EDIT: I hope it isn't a Nexus 5, otherwise **** Google.

I know how you feel man. I, too, am hoping that would happen. Just keep your hopes up and maybe you will get your shipping confirmation by today!
[Nexus 4 General] smargarites:
so i just got off the phone with a csr. very friendly. congratulated me on not being on the BO list and said that i should be receiving an email sometime today. that i have nothing to worry about. kind of gives me piece of mind. I ordered mine at 8:44:55 AM UTC-8. no BO email. keeping fingers crossed.....:confused:
[Nexus 4 General] deestroi66:
I just got off the phone with a more "informative" Google Play Store rep and here's her word:

If you received a back ordered email from us, don't be alarmed. It's just a better safe than sorry thing. 3 weeks back order is not set in stone. Just continue to check your email and Google Wallet for any updates. I am also aware that there has been people who got the backordered email and received a tracking information today. We're still working on it since there has been a lot of order on this device.

She also said it takes time for UPS to generate tracking numbers?

That is all.

*sigh* just ***ing ship it Google you pice of ***...***!
[Nexus 4 General] Geo411m:
Mine is the same as yours except I ordered 2 minutes before you.

Team Limbo! Forever Alone
[Nexus 4 General] Mr.Fahrenheit:
Well ****, thanks for the consideration.

"You are a valued customer, and are not bother me, I can completely understand your anticipation with this device. I hope that you are not of back order and will be able to receive some information by Monday."

Now its MONDAY, it used to be Saturday, you know?

Definitely canceling this by the end of the week.
[Nexus 4 General] Unclean009:
I just want my phone. Its been a ****ty week for more than one reason
[Nexus 4 General] Acuity:
I was just saying to one of my co-workers that I shouldn't have signed up for my choice so there could be that chance, that glimmer of hope that it would be here today. Now I'm hoping that there is a chance that UPS sent it out before I registered for my choice, and thus (maybe) never sent out the notification because it was already out.
[Nexus 4 General] Web-head:
No way will that be a Nexus branded phone.
[Nexus 4 General] ackliph:
Looks like they'll be competing with the Note.

Since they don't sell the Nexus 4 in all markets, you can always find someone to buy it off you for near full price on eBay. ::shrugs::
