Yup I said this earlier anyone working google CS knows nothing more then you or I, the only ones who really know are the logistics and procurement staff along with those at the distribution centers. Why there is so much misinformation and uncertainty is beyond me, I mean my order still is in a pending state much like many others...

Same here, not really because it seems we missed the shipment as UPS shows "departure scan" for some people. I guess we'll get it on Tuesday then.

just now?
[Nexus 4 General] kcls:
Just called them up after hearing all the reports, and sure enough, mines on back order.

I think that's pretty big BS too, because I got one only 10 or so minutes after they went on sale.

I guess the bright side is now I'll have a nice surprise in the mail one day when I come home from school.

[Nexus 4 General] Simer03:
My Google rep says just because u got a backorder email, doesn't mean u won't get it soon! Its a computer sending these emails out and people are canceling accidental purchases so those accidental purchases could mean you get one of them....this is just a mess tho...just give me any email damn it! I just don't wanna speculate anymore!

[Nexus 4 General] unkn0wnz:
Well i got the back order email like most of us, CSR said they sent the email as a "precautionary measure" to those that did not get their order shipped, so that just in case it takes more than the promised time they would have told us already...I just wish Google would stop hiding and make an official statement as to what the heck is going on.

My nexus 10 is set to be deliver tmmrow. Hope my Nexus 4 does also
[Nexus 4 General] Fr33L4nc3r:
The theory about multiple orders / bulk is bullsh1t.

I had 2 orders (due to their buggy website), 1 device + 1 bumper each, and therefore cancelled one order, but still got backorder email.

I know someone who got 5 orders and cancelled 4 and he got his device today.

Moreover, some people are claiming having both 8G and 16G version and one of them was shipped.

Google is a total mess ...

[Nexus 4 General] vita10gy:
It's because we live in an era of customer service where "I don't know" and "F**k off A**hole!" are, for reasons that I fail to understand, seen as the exact same response. Companies seem to think it's better customer service to lie and make you temporarily more happy at the expense of making you pissed off later because now you have a problem AND were lied to.

"I don't know" is the proper response when you don't know something.

[Nexus 4 General] djkinetic:
not an excuse, apple and amazon can handle these launches, google has no excuse to not be able to conduct an at least somewhat competent launch and distribution system...they want to sell all this great hardware but what good is it if you cant get it out to your consumers when you promised....its a damn travesty how each of their launches have been handled.
[Nexus 4 General] jenskristian:
I got the Crystal Clear as I'm very with it on the Nexus 7. The $13.99 is not including the discount, so the price is $11.19 today.
[Nexus 4 General] KevinChaos:
DAMNITTTTTTT. I haven't received any email about shipping or backorder, so I called google and they said it's on back order. 8gb model. I'm so upset!!! I ordered it before 11am CST which was the official "launch" time. This is ludicrous.
[Nexus 4 General] Kenneth131:
Me to BO email received tonight in the UK. Sucks like a dyson but what can you do now. If you want the phone you have to wait as you have no other option apart from buying from a network at rrp and not everyone wants to do that. So most will leave on backorder but its real poor to have x amount avail and allow so many more orders to be placed especially when they were dead set against a pre order route for launch. Poor show and as said before cs is a joke its a Samaritans line for people with Google issues lol

I hate to say it, but if I compare and contrast the iPhone5 launch experience....

Sep 14 2:00AM Placed Preorder for launch date delivery Sep 21

Sep 14 9:17AM Received confirmation number

Sep 19 11:00PM Received Tracking number

Sep 21 1:29PM Delivered

At no point in time did I wonder when, let alone "if" it would be delivered, nor did I wonder when the preorders would open.

Heres the timetable on the nexus launch:

Nov 13 1:00AM Staying up late for the supposed 12:00AM PST ordering to start.

Nov 13 2:00AM Ok, looks like google is now saying that it is 9am PST???? Ok, thanks for making me stay awake all night google, guess I'll catch some sleep.

Nov 13 9:00AM Sitting in a meeting tired from no sleep the night before, trying to discretely order this device... getting pissed off because suddenly looks like the preorder started 30 minutes before they said it would...

Nov 13 9:35AM After having the nexus in my cart about 6 times and google checkout crashing on me every time... Looks like I will not be getting this device.... I am furious... have been waiting forever for this device.

Nov 13 9:51 Finally am able to place an order and.... its accepted!!!

Nov 13 11:09AM Confirmation... yay

Nov 13-15 sitting around waiting for a tracking number to show.... never happens... everything in the past 2 days has been up in the air... I have no definitive answers, no guarantees, and am pissed off at google... Seriously, how do they have the logistics to handle the largest search and ad network in the world, but can't figure out a few boxes?

dunno if it makes a difference but ive ordered my nexus one, nexus s, nexus 7, and multiple galaxy nexus from the play store... so maybe im in some preferred customer queue

I ordered from Northern California. The shipment is for 3x8GB phones. I'm pretty sure its not the only plane out of KY heading to NorCal but if you haven't received tracking now you probably won't get it at 6pm PST. Not saying you won't get the shipment because some people have said they received a package before getting the tracking number.

It is a valid excuse. Google doesn't have a retail/selling hardware background. It was going to be a mess no matter what. Anyone with any sense could have seen this coming. Think about it a bunch of us rabid enthusiast hammering their system at once. It wasn't going to end well in a best case scenario. Now I do agree that it could have been handled a better. They should have seen a bigger demand than what they counted but in the end of the day. Its a cell phone.

[Nexus 4 General] chrisjcks:
The whole point of having no pre-order was to order available units only.

No back-orders.

So, why didn't we have pre-order?

Seriously, some people need to lose their jobs, its pretty basic that I don't understand how they have messed up.

Without pre-orders, it should have a stock amount to which it takes orders until stock is zero.

They shouldnt have even been able to oversell a device that has no pre-order.

I feel sorry for the customer service guys, they are gonna get soooo much abuse from this.

I don't even think offering free delivery is even enough compensation for a 3 week wait on a device that has no pre-order that was shown as 'in stock'

It's not always easy to get to a carrier store, and it's simpler. Cut the sim, use it. No having to get it activated on your account and get your number moved over and stuff. Plus if you have a cutter you're set and you can cut friends sims etc.
[Nexus 4 General] Mohit12:
Oh, didn't realise there was an official thread for this.

Okay so I live in India and I'm asking a friend to get me the Nexus 4. But here is the catch :

This friend is leaving from there on the twenty first of November. So the phone must reach her before that. Will it?

Assuming she orders the phone on the 13th at around 10-11 AM, how many hours will Google take to process the order?

Also on their site it says shipping won't take more than 2 days for shipping + another 2 days for processing the order (correct me on this if I'm wrong) but are there chances of it taking longer? Either because they receive more orders they can handle or something?

Also, if she orders by 11 AM, which is a full eleven hours after you're actually allowed to, will the phone be sold out by then?

If the phone reaches her a day or two in advance then that's brilliant because she has the time to check it for defects or at least check if it's not DOA.

Oh, she lives in some suburb of Chicago.
[Nexus 4 General] Roxy:
AndroidPolice: Is Google going to start shipping on the 13th or open pre-orders? In other words, when will the first customers be able to hold the new Nexuses in their paws?

Google PR Rep: They'll start shipping on that date.

AndroidPolice: Alright, thanks. Do you know when the pre-orders will start then?

Google PR Rep: Right now, it's "Notify me" and on 11/13 it will switch to available for order.

http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/1...-shipments-start-november-13th-no-pre-orders/

Assuming that everything is gonna go well:

Simple answer is yes, she will get it before November 21st.
[Nexus 4 General] FatalityBoyZahy:
Well, if the phone ships on the 13th, she should most likely receive it 2 days after that. But as far as we know, the phone can sell out within the first half hour. We'll just have to wait and see.
[Nexus 4 General] 0.0:

Ordered at 9:47am mountain time. Kept hitting refresh like everyone else and actually the first time I saw "add to cart" I accidently hit refresh again :p

..but anyway,
