So wait.. I'm guessing I can only have one active SIM at a time for my T-Mobile line on my family plan. So if I get a micro SIM for my line does it just activate when I put it in the phone? Do I have to call them when I am ready to start using it?

I think the best solution might be to just walk down to my T-Mobile store when I get the phone in my hand. I want a new SIM anyway mine is over 4 years old and looks a little war torn. :)
[Nexus 4 General] Roxy:
@Clayfree

Unfortunately, the kitty charm I bought for the phone doesn't fit well with N4 ( the plug is too long? ) but I did get my phone though:
[Nexus 4 General] cavallino33:
Does anyone know if att charges for a new sim?

Trying to decide if I want to just cut mine.
[Nexus 4 General] qreffie:
Can't do that. It won't be available until after 6 and I have to work at 3 so no dice. Got off the phone with another UPS rep and now it looks like I'm going to have to try to meet the driver somewhere.

Yayyyyy now I can be super envious of you roxeh :P

[Nexus 4 General] Acuity:
Bring your Sim to the T-Mobile store and they can transfer the from old to new. If you swap a Sim between phones (and need both mini and micro) your best bet is to get an adapter.

K this entire experience has really really destroyed my opinion of Google. Play store reps have not been a help at all, seemed untrained and even unwilling to deal with me (I was one of the polite callers). I don't know how many of us remain, but I'm very close to saying **** it, canceling, and jumping to windows phone. Damn I was all excited too, showing friends YouTube videos of how awesome the new phone I was getting was gonna be. Salty me. And if I ever do get the phone, it'll probably be riddled with problems, and my tolerance for Google will reach a new low .

Edit: Apparently the transition wouldn't even be that difficult http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZLnidKpb_w
[Nexus 4 General] :
when is the next business day for BC delivery?

Since my phone apparently never left KY this morning what do you guys think:

When is the next business day for delivery in Canada?

It's not a holiday here tomorrow but will it even get this far?

Will there be a plane leaving KY tonight and it will deliver tomorrow?

Or will they shut down sorting facility and it won't leave till Friday morning or Sunday night even?

Happy Holidays to everybody south of the border and good luck to the remaining LL3s
[Nexus 4 General] joquarky:
Nice avatar. Very fitting for the situation.

I have a feeling the main cause of all the problems is the Play store is probably only designed to sell products where there is an unlimited supply (e.g., apps, music, movies, books).

I bet someone done goofed up and forgot to test it for when the supply is limited.

Completely agree, I had no problem with waiting the 3-5 days, but now we "might" get it in 3 weeks. I'm gonna be downtown Toronto tomorrow and I'm very tempted to go to the Apple store and buy and unlocked iPhone 5 and just screw android.
[Nexus 4 General] TheSopranos16:
They don't. I did a live chat with customer service the other day and they overnighted me a micro sim for free. Now I have my sim but no N4 to put it in :(

For those who have been told Tmobile charges $20 for the micro Sim...I just bought 2 on their site for .99 cents each, free shipping. I got the link from chat.
[Nexus 4 General] asn5014:
Well, when I spoke to a CSR yesterday, they told me that they had not run out of devices (I asked them specifically). They said they were just waiting for the shipping information. I think they know less about our orders than we do.
[Nexus 4 General] bigmase521:
+1 to this. Free shipping and bumper is the MINIMUM at this point...
[Nexus 4 General] deestroi66:
Complete lie. I spoke with 2 CSRs today and I asked them when the next stocks of Nexus 4s will come in. Both told me they had no idea as of yet and they're expecting them within 2 weeks maybe earlier. They didn't mention about stock coming in today.

[Nexus 4 General] Clayfree:
It burns me when I see the ebay guy with a photo of 10 phones!
[Nexus 4 General] [hfm]:
I am completely convinced the CSR see the same thing we see in play and wallet and nothing more. I think the only reason they ask for email is to send us a follow up after the call.

I think there IS a department or escalation that can do more, but the people on the phone only have what we have, probably only the class of service to see anyone and not just themselves.
[Nexus 4 General] bigmase521:
Just got off the phone with T-Mo CS.. was told that they charge $20 for a regular SIM, $9.99 for micro-SIM. Said "you could walk into a store and ask, but what they charge is at the discretion of the store." Wasn't havin' it.. rep waived the fee for me and is sending out. Could take up to 7 days but doesn't matter since we're limbo'd out anyway.

I still don't get what people see in the iPhone. In the business world it's not bad because it's a very simple device. The last thing I want to deal with are very simple people trying to customize android. I can see upgrading from iPhone to android, but not the other way around.

It's awesome to be a part of the backordered crowd without actually getting an actual back ordered email. So I get my phone the same time yet I don't get a credit for my shipping and have to waste a bunch of calls finding out what happens? Nice...

My order finally changed from Preorder to Estimated delivery date Nov 15 to now Pending today. So much for ordering the damn phone in the first 5 mins of release and people who ordered 30 mins later than I did are already playing with their phones.

I've actually had it for a little over a day now. The next day air delivery only took about 7 hours to ship. So far I love it. The movement is very smooth.

I'm using no screen protector however. I was never much of a man for protection, so contrary to conventional wisdom I follow the philosophy "when in doubt, don't pull it out."
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
Or use the excess plastic left over from when they cut as the adapter, because the ones they carry suck. The guy got it stuck putting it in my gnex and it was hell trying to take it out. Even the ones on AMAZON aren't that great...left over plastic works great, as suggested by someone here in this thread.

Hey Christina, a few questions:

Why are you responding to a support request that was handled days ago?

How could you get my name wrong when I entered it into the form for you? Three letters and copy/paste is hard, I guess.

How is this a helpful reply?

[Nexus 4 General] onedude1:
CSR might be getting better?

Just spoke with a CSR now.. the guy was at least nice!

He asked the script question "Whats your email address?"

so I gave it to him, but then he goes.. I dont know if your account is on someone else's name (meaning he actually tried to lookup something)

I actually called him out on the scripted response about the three weeks bla bla bla...

CSR: Sadly we dont have any additional information. But give me your order number lets see what is the status of your order.

Me: Ohh.. ok.. lets see... ########.

CSR: Well you ordered at 11:09 pacific time. (I was amazed he actually did pull up my information) and your account says still processing. I really dont have any other information for you but just be patient you have at most two more weeks to go.

Me: Geezz.. well thanks.

CSR: Is there anything else I can help you with?

Me: Well... you guys said you are not charging the shipping cost right?

CSR: Thats correct, but the way it will work is we will actually charge the full amount and then do the refund for the shipping only.

Me: OK... thanks.

CSR: Anything else?

Me: You'd make me a realy happy customer if you can throw in a bumper for my phone.

CSR: Sorry but I really dont have that option.

Me: Ohh well.. had to try. (I really dont want to push it. This guy was actually helpfull and direct). Thank you though, bye.

At least the guy did pull up my information.. not just give a canned response without checking the screen first.

I Still think Google need to give something for compensation....

And no, I don't consider free shipping compensation for all this.

I paid for 2 day delivery, didn't get that - so shouldn't have to pay that.

But Google should be offering something toall these people including me, who ordered on launch day within half hour to be on back order.

... And no, I don't think that request is asking too much.

Well for one, Apple actually knows how to sell devices instead of this laughable attempt from Google.

I agree that stock Jelly Bean is awesome though, but you can only get that on Nexus devices, which apparently Google doesn't want people to buy & makes you jump through 12 different hoops to get one.

And there's no way I'm going back to a bastardized version of Android (Sense, Touchwiz, or whatever other garbage they're throwing on there). They can keep that crap & the slow update cycle.
