WTF Google? Did your factory spit out of 10,000 of these and you undercut the competition and comparable phones a couple hundred bucks with the ideal you're trying to change the carrier subsidy model/data structure and your best excuse is we didn't expect this kind of demand? You use a poor business model, a contradictory business front and a lame inefficient storefront and you expect us to believe you didn't expect this? WTF? Are you running the device section of the play store on a homemade server in eric Schmidt's basement? You sold out on the 16gb nexus 7, the 32gb nexus 10 sold like hotcakes leaving the 8gb n7 and 16gb n10 collecting dust in a warehouse (personally I think 5 8gb n7's and 5 16gb nexus 10's were all that were produced) and you want us to use your stupid cloud? With the way your play store is run I don't think many people are using your cloud like you'd like us to believe. Otherwise it would be run as ****ty as your play store. Suck on both my big hairy apples. I hope RIM and windows phone come with it in the next year so I can stop using your lame business model that inconveniences many of us as much as it useful. May sound contradictory but it is frustrating and the fragmentation and consistency has only gotten worse. What next? Locked bootloaders? Because it is better for the masses? :banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:

I JUST GOT SHIPPING CONFIRMATION FROM UPS MY CHOICE!!!! got the backorder email at around 3pm and then just now UPS emails me saying I have a package coming tomorrow from GOOGLE ANDROID!! no emails from google at all thank you UPS!!! i had a couple orders so its possible they are just shipping this one and the other one is backordered!

Thank you and good luck all with this crazy roller coaster google put us on (on purpose?) lol

[Nexus 4 General] silverbladef:
Okay I don't want to beat a dead horse, PETA would be pissed..but I haven't received a shipping confirmation nor a backorder email. For the people who received a backorder email, do you still have the "estimated shipping Nov. 15th" on your Google Play order page or do you have something else? Thanks.
[Nexus 4 General] jasonwc:
Indeed, but it's far more meaningful than the ever-changing and almost never accurate information coming from Google CSRs.
[Nexus 4 General] jblack41510:
Yes same Nov 15th on mine
[Nexus 4 General] akhan47:
Could turn out to be a letter from Google informing you that your Nexus 4 has been delayed indefinitely. :rolleyes:

I'm hoping I get something soon. My order is stuck at pending, no backorder email, and I noticed that I have been fully charged (not a hold) on my CC.

[Nexus 4 General] KonstantinKeller:
You've said this about 42123 times now. You're seriously becoming annoying. Chill out man.

On topic: I'm normally patient when I order something, but this time, I'm getting pissed off at how Google handled this. My order for a 16gb Nexus 4 has said "Completed" since I ordered it at 11:33 EST. No errors while ordering. No back-order email, no shipping info. I have no idea what's happening with my order. No idea when it's going to ship. I have UPS MyChoice, so it's not that Google hasn't sent me my shipping number. All the reps I call say something different. They have no idea what they're talking about. I've also been lied to by the reps saying that it's "First come, first serve." I just want to call one right now and start ranting at them.
[Nexus 4 General] MeowMixDelivers:
Limbo guy here, in for two 16GB, ordered 8:32AM PT.

Just got off the phone with the Googs and the rep's supervisor told them that the people who ordered two or more phones were getting BO'd. Sad because like lots of you guys, spent a ton of time making sure I was at the front of the line for the gf and I to retire our GS2s.

Not sure if anyone has heard the same and this thread is blowing up faster than I can read it. But the last 100 pages have made for some good lulz.

Congrats to the people who are getting theirs tomorrow. Post impressions! :good:

[Nexus 4 General] [hfm]:

I'll probably get an email from them now saying I can set my account up withint 3 weeks. :)

How do i use this stupid My UPS choice i signed up is that all i just want to make sure its correct..
[Nexus 4 General] jtc276:
Me as well. Which makes me question the validity of the backorder email. Obviously it's real, but maybe it wasn't meant to be sent to everyone who received it and, like some have said, is possibly just a cushion for Google being behind on shipping. I'm grasping at straws here. I'm still trying to grasp the fact that I'll be leaving for vacation on Monday without a new Nexus :(

[Nexus 4 General] kanetheninja:
I ordered mine (8 gig) about an hour after you and it's shipping but my 16 gig that I did at the same time isn't. Maybe that has something to do with it? It's pretty clear it's not 100% first come first serve though. Why that is I don't know...
[Nexus 4 General] wilsonlam97:
Could Google just let me backorder already???

I rather pay and wait 4 weeks to get over with this. I keep on waiting every single day to make sure I don't miss the next batch of orders and it's agonizing.

[Nexus 4 General] nexo85:
I ordered two literally within the minute that it opened in the US. I used the google chrome plugin to check every 10 seconds. I got the BackOrder Email. I ordered two for me and my wife. This is crazy. I still dont have a shipping notification. People who ordered after me already have theirs. Should I cancel my order? I dont know what to do anymore... Totally ruined my week with this 3 week email. I even called to make sure.

They told me if I received an email stating the product name, then its definitely in the backorder pile.

My email subject is "An update on your Nexus 4 Google Play order".

My order was placed on: November 13, 2012 8:33:24 AM UTC-8

so he says my Nexus 10 and Nexus 7 is not yet on backorder.
[Nexus 4 General] zizo79:
After calling Google a couple of times, I decide to email and try my luck. One minute later, I got an automated email saying:

"Orders are shipped within two business days of placing your order, and will be delivered upon two additional business days of processing.

According to our records, your order should ship by the evening of November 15.

Upon receiving your shipping confirmation email, you'll be given a tracking number that will assist you in determining your package's estimated delivery date. Please note that it might take up to 24 hours before the tracking number returns any information.

For more information on shipping and delivery, please see this article in our help center:

http://support.google.com/googleplay/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=2411789."

Did anyone get this?

The Google Play Support Team

Well thanks Robert. Talk about a limbo email for all the limbo-ers. Also, I read other people hearing about the 3 week thing. Setting the expectation for 5 biz day, then charging $15 for two-day, then saying 3 weeks? Not cool, Google. Not cool. :(
[Nexus 4 General] Mr.Fahrenheit:
So I made a My UPS thing, where do I find the option to have them email me? The site is so confusing >.>
[Nexus 4 General] Luxferro:
It should have an 'add to cart' button on the unlock screen that you need to drag to a shopping cart. Then have it randomly unlock the phone at a rate of about 5%.
[Nexus 4 General] jjcore:
Yeah but now I need to know if its a man or not. I hate being in the dark about this!!! F it, I'm calling someone to find out.
[Nexus 4 General] n82k:
It should work if you enter a home address such as your parents house as long as they have your last name, then add your school address as your work address bc after you add your main address it gives the option of adding a work location where you may receive packages. i looked to me that that form had input for office/suite numbers and such would surely work if you did it that way.

That's the only thing I'm missing. I wonder if it's even necessary since Google Wallet says it will "send a copy of this "receipt" meaning the order was in fact made. Oh ****. Confusing stuff, eh?
