I didn't buy it to resell it, I've been an android user since the g1 which I bought full price from T-Mobile to use on ATT where I had my contract the day it came out. I've had many android phones including the GS3. I was disappointed with the Nexus 4, compare the screen to a GS3 and you'll see what I mean. I sold my GS3 to buy the Nexus 4 and now will have to add money to buy another GS3 because the N4 in my opinion is not as good. Just my opinion but take a look at a gs3 screen next to a N4. There are 3 N4 in my family and we all agree that the GS3 screen is way superior

It's good if you've never used a GS3 but I notice that even the YouTube tiles look blocky. Do a Google search for "nexus 4 washed out screen " and see what comes up. Also, the colors don't look right, it has a blue tint to everything. Not try to dissuade any one from buying one. Just being honest with my fellow android users.

Idk about that, believe it or not, if you're coming from a galaxy phone then you're probably used to colors being way off. I know I've been using galaxy phones since the captivate. And my brother htc onex and friend's nexus, yes the screen just looks a little off to me, but it's cause I'm so used to AMOLED. the screen on the nexus is much better, the colors are more accurate and less saturated. just sayin, maybe yours is a defect :shrug:
[Nexus 4 General] dajeoo:
We'll have to disagree on that one but I know it's not defective because I've compared it to two other N4
[Nexus 4 General] mykull:
:laugh: i think you love it but don't wanna admit it lol im just playin

[Nexus 4 General] vaerdis:
Ordered two 16 gb phones....no notice of shipping, and the hold that was placed on my bank account was released sometime last night. I am becoming concerned :( Looks like a lot of other peoples' 16 gb phones have been shipped within 3-4 days of order, so not completely despondent yet. Maybe today's my day? :fingers-crossed:

Good news is that I got my microSIM from T-mobile in record time and have my bumper and SGP screen protector all ready to go! Can't wait to be one of the cool kids. :cool: Like another user a few posts back, I'm upgrading from an Optimus V, which has definitely been in want of replacement for a while now.

Hi,

I've ordered a nexus 4 (16 Gb) the Feb 15th (from France), shipped today.

It was indicated "ships in 2-3 weeks".

I think I'll receive my nexus saturday or monday.

I hope it will help (to wait :p)

[Nexus 4 General] Jygar:
Hi Guys,

Just ordered a Nexus 4 16GB to replace my LG Optimus 4X HD (missed a Nexus device).

During my order I got a message saying "there was a problem processing your order".

Yet I've been given a order number and shipping date (5th March), the payment is showing in my wallet too.

I called Google and they said the order is processing but I'm not sure I believe them.

Anyone experience this?
[Nexus 4 General] fakudolan:
I ordered on Friday, February 22. It is 2/28 with no shipping information, and it is stuck at 2 bullet points, 8GB in USA.

Anyone else have their order stuck? My shipping estimate is March 07. I can't wait any longer :(((

Lucky! Mine was ordered on early 2/21 too (Order Date: February 21, 2013 6:06:11 AM UTC-8 ). Really wonder what's taking so long...
[Nexus 4 General] jezcrossland:
Well it looks like we're getting closer! us in the '8GB nexus orders placed on the 21st Feb 2013' club (who would have thought it would have so many members) Yesterday someone who ordered an 8 on the 20th had theirs shipped, today someone on the 21st, so clearly the rest of us are close to the top of the list. I expect we'll have our shipping emails sent at 2:30am ET.

---------- Post added at 10:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 AM ----------

this is pretty typical of what we've seen. mine is the same, ordered on the 21st. It looks like we'll see our phones shipping before the 7th March.

They held a charge of ~$393 on my debit card for the first few days, now the charge is gone. I assume it will be recharged once the product has shipped, but now I gotta make sure my bank account doesn't go under ~$393 for who knows how long. Wish they would have just kept the charge held. ugh :p

but the whole thing seems random? as people have ordered and have gotten it with in a couple of days even though it said it would ship in the 2-3 week range
[Nexus 4 General] RyDeRgr:
Still waiting (uk) from 14-Feb.

Got a fail to the charge try (money reserved and tried to charge again money to complete) and got delayed.
[Nexus 4 General] edskii:
I have exactly the same thing happening on my account - money got back to my card, transaction disappeared. Ordered on 2/25.
[Nexus 4 General] sagarmangla:
This is a sign of the order getting shipped soon.

Happened to me too.

Good luck
[Nexus 4 General] E.A.:
Ordered mine on 2/26 and I have to bullet points so far. I hope it gets here alot sooner than the 17th though.
[Nexus 4 General] LTavaress:
Now the play store says "delivered in 3-5 business days" :)
[Nexus 4 General] :
Hopefully mine updates ordered earlier today it said 2-3 weeks, going to check on this now, thanks for the update

edit - just checked and it still says 2-3 weeks for both models
[Nexus 4 General] fakudolan:
Play Store Update

Play Store has been updated to 1-2 weeks shipping for both 8GB and 16GB models!!! keep your fingers crossed guys!!
[Nexus 4 General] justFaisal:
It says 1-2 weeks now but my estimated shipping is still at March 17 (ordered on the 25, 16G). What does it mean then? They are not gonna finish old orders? take more orders and finish those first? WTH google!
[Nexus 4 General] fakudolan:
I think when the google play store updates from 2-3 weeks to 1-2, it could mean that they have restocked and/or have more available to ship out. Don't hold me on that though as I am not sure.

I ordered the 16gb version, I live in the US

This is the reply I got from Google support when I asked why the charge disappeared.
[Nexus 4 General] etcman:
How long did it take to get that reply from Google? And did you also get the automated message as soon as you sent the support ticket?

It took a couple hours after I sent the support ticket. If it was automated, it was spot on to my question, and was signed

Now that it's time to ship my device, Google wants to charge my account $350 on top of the authorization charge. Basically I have to have enough on my account to purchase two devices in order to pay for one...

I should. For 14$...
[Nexus 4 General] falcon26:
No you will get it Monday. They ship UPS Blue 2 day and they do not delivery on Saturdays......
[Nexus 4 General] Shano56:
What I suspect happens is Google attempts to charge the account, if the bank authorizes the charge and you have sufficient funds, the pending charge should be removed, then will be recharged when your order ships. I'm assuming the pending charge for the authorization would be removed for you tomorrow if your bank is open Saturdays. If not, then that sucks to have $350 dollars that you are unable to spend over the weekend :(
[Nexus 4 General] bentez2003:
Hurray my 16GB N4 has been shipped! (Ordered 28th) which postal service do they use in the UK?

Something just like this happend to me as well. I had to argue with a google wallet rep and my bank for 2 hours straight. Google had put the hold on my card on the 10th of Feb. The charge never dropped off, now at the time of shipping they want to actually "take the money" off my card with a new charge. I had to get a bank rep to drop the first charge off so they could put the new charge on. Here is an order summery

[Nexus 4 General] vaerdis:
Saturday delivery for UPS 2-day is a value-added service, meaning it costs $15.00 extra. It isn't complimentary with the service.

[Nexus 4 General] borrowedchief:
Here is a recap/update to my 8B US order. Let me preface this by saying that I have a certain amount of my paycheck routed to a different account for personal use.

Ordered the 22nd of Feb

The "hold" charge was place on my account, and Google sent conf they received the order.

Today I receive email stating the order has been declined. The account I used only had a couple hundred in it, because the "hold" charge was still there.

Called Google and they (very rudely) told me they have nothing to do with that and to call the bank.

Called bank, and they say they only remove pending charges after a set period of time. If a merchant does not act on it, they will reverse it.

Called Google back, and was very rudely asked why I didn't have enough money to cover the charge. I explained why, and the rep told me that it's going to continue to decline until I have sufficient funds. I told her to authorize the pending charge and it ill be fine. Also, I only bought one phone, why do I need to have the $$$ for two? She said she needs to forward it to someone else and get back to me via email

A few hours later I check my balance, and the pending charge is gone. I resubmit on Wallet and it goes through. She never contacted me.

Called Google again, and verified that the order went though. It did, but I still have no tracking number. It just says "	Mar 1 You successfully updated your payment for this order to MASTERCARD xxx-XXXX"

Serious. I could tell these folks were lost when I called. They had no idea how to handle a complaint, and wanted me off the phone as fast as they could. This very well may be the last Google device I buy straight from them.
[Nexus 4 General] justFaisal:
^^^ you have to realize that a lot of people are calling them for the same issue so they are pissed off already and don't know what to do... and google is not good at customer service, we all know that by now lol.

I hope they learn from this... i can't imagine how many phones they could've sold if only the supply was good!
[Nexus 4 General] MrFanta5stic:
I'm having the same experience. Ordered the same day and have the exact same situation. Most others have reported that Google removed the pending charge before completing the order. Seems pretty routine. Not sure how our orders got so far off track...
[Nexus 4 General] borrowedchief:
Honestly, I don't care how mad they are. They are in customer service. This is their job choice, and they need to at least try and assist. I got the impression every time I called, there was something more pressing on their end they needed to attend to.
[Nexus 4 General] justFaisal:
I see what you are saying and im pissed too that people who ordered after me got their orders shipped before me but... just give them a break they are working hard (i hope)...
[Nexus 4 General] Ieatnoobs:
I submitted 3 orders. One on the 28th, and today I submitted 2 more.

Because I was still on the fence about getting rid of my Iphone 5, I cancelled the 28th order. Today, I did the same thing and cancelled it right away. Then submitted another and now I am 100% I want the N4.

In all the orders, my debit card was charged as soon as I hit "buy". There was a $1 pending and the $337 from google as well. After I cancelled them, the were refunded back to the card.

Maybe if you are having trouble getting along with customer service, its probably better to cancel the order, wait a few orders to clear the pending, and submit a new order again.
[Nexus 4 General] hmagoo:
shipped fast

Ordered the 16gb with wireless charger early am Thursday. Tracking says arriving early Monday. I am in Palm Springs, CA. Wanted the bumper case but it was out of stock.
[Nexus 4 General] etcman:
Seeing as people who ordered after me (2/21) have gotten their 8GB models sent out for shipping already while I'm *STILL* stuck at 1 bullet point, I decided to call Google to see if anything was wrong with my order.

I was told about the whole 1-2 shipping weeks estimate and that comparing my order to other people's orders wasn't a very good guide as people may be ordering from different regions and what not (though I'm pretty sure the majority of us are ordering from the US play store, am I right?). All in all, the rep didn't seem so confident in what she was saying and was just guessing that the processing of my order was taking longer than normal without a given reason.
