He didn't mention being an engineer until someone accused him of being a CSR. He also only gave out "I thinks". He has confirmed nothing. The information he got was passed around and was not official. He did state in another post that there was some information that he was not allowed to share. It's not like Google employees have to keep quiet about every single bit of information.
[Nexus 4 General] mengwu:
Unless he is aiming for a short term gain, the long term loss will more than eat up the profits he makes selling those 5 nexus 4s. Like I said, if he was an experienced and long term seller, he wouldn't risk a hit in the rating just for quick profit.
[Nexus 4 General] Ibsonic:
Maybe he can tell some information but not all like he said here
[Nexus 4 General] myorks1127:
I'm really hoping we all get ours by the end of the week, being patient with a decent phone right now but the thought of opening that box is hard to handle lol, there is nothing like the feeling you get when you open that fancy phone box (smartphones) every time you get a new one...
[Nexus 4 General] ammmo:
Re-read that page, he identified himself as an Engineer before that. Either way, it's all BS. Good to see you looking out for XDA over there anyways.
[Nexus 4 General] mengwu:
I still think he is not legit.

Remember when reddit had a guy passing the chrome certification posting just very generic information on reddit and was fired shortly after?

I am very sure google do not like releasing of any info they disapprove. I highly doubt he would risk his job just for short term internet fame.
[Nexus 4 General] Ibsonic:
Well, lets see who that guy ziptied really is. By reading his posts we can see how he acts, lets the xda limbo detectives do their job again:

[Nexus 4 General] MatAuc12:
Actually, most csr's probably know the"most probable timeframe" but are not allowed to say. Even if only some.people would have access, that kind of info is the kind of things they talk about in break rooms, and then it moves exponentially.
[Nexus 4 General] PaisanNYC:
Shipping times are not confidential LOL Way to make drama out of nothing
[Nexus 4 General] kcbboy:
Ok wait a minute here. These posts were from 11/17 and this ZIPTIED guy said they were shipping out Mon/Tues. Was he referring to last Mon/Tues? Because if that's the case that ship has already sailed and devices did ship out last Monday for LL2ers. Unless I missed a post where was specifically referring to the 26th.
[Nexus 4 General] Ibsonic:
He said, week after monday.. so thats actually tomorrow.
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
My addiction with phones and devices isn't actually owning them, it's the process of ordering, waiting, tracking, getting it in your hand, running in the house with it, and just seeing that brand new spankin box and seeing, holding, smelling it for the first time. Then, after 10 minutes I start whining that I "need" a new phone. So I'm with ya buddy :)
[Nexus 4 General] MonsieurJohnny:
He was asked about backorders, and he was talking 11/26.
[Nexus 4 General] Clayfree:
This eBay seller is also walking a fine line. He wants to sell phones in advance for $500+. What happens if Google gets enough stock to fill our back orders and open up the Play Store again. As soon as Google has stock again his phones are only worth what he paid for them. If he can sell phones this coming week he can keep their money and ship out a phone for $500+ even thought it could be had for $300 direct from Google by then. If I recall a seller has 7-10 days to ship a product before eBay will open any kind of case.
[Nexus 4 General] mengwu:
Neither are certificate that says you are chrome certified. Yet guy was fired.

What you and I consider confidential information is not what google considers confidential information.

Most companies I know of discourages leak of any information, no matter how harmless it seems.
[Nexus 4 General] PaisanNYC:
Wanna sell the Note 2? :)
[Nexus 4 General] Dr Zoidberg:
They are if the time-frame is unacceptably long. Let's just assume that the "3 weeks" estimate was just a wild guess by some CSR supervisor, and their follow-up call to LG revealed that it's more like 8 weeks, I'm sure they will keep that information a secret.
[Nexus 4 General] Clayfree:

[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
Yeah... Lol....my normal wait time has never been this long! Not even when I bought my GNote from Germany!
[Nexus 4 General] ammmo:
BS. Google, yes Google sent out a Back Order email to all of those effected, so it's official. Nice try though.
[Nexus 4 General] MonsieurJohnny:
Hey I'd like for official statements as much as the next guy, but the e-mail said "expected to ship within 3-weeks".
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
My new slogan..... if we don't have false hope, then we have no hope.
[Nexus 4 General] Ibsonic:
Guys really as im reading all his messages, im starting to believe he is really a google engineer!?

Things like,

"ziptied: So some of you are seriously getting pissed off for getting your phone 4 days after ordering and Google stating 3-5 before the sell out... I can understand those who got back-ordered being kinda upset, but only marginally we sold out, you can cancel at any time. I get that the site should've updated quicker saying sold out and stopped orders from coming in, but seriously? Oh, and for those of you in limbo (1,2), your device will ship next week at the latest."

And it was shipped.

damnit.. come on monday, i cant wait.. normally i hate you but let it be different this time :D
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
No thank You. A+ for effort though. ;)
[Nexus 4 General] ammmo:
The email actually said "within 3 weeks" and it's official, you, the guy on that other forum, or myself are not. Official is official and you are crazy if you think Google allows engineers to just go willy nilly on some forum.
[Nexus 4 General] mengwu:
Dude that's just asking for it. High expectation based on unconfirmed info -> things do not meet expectation -> Epic downward fail. This is the pattern that drives people to become alcoholics or drug addicts.

Don't place an expectation on shipments, in fact, expect the worse, and that it will ship on the 13th. So if it comes early, it's a great surprise and positive.
[Nexus 4 General] @rbiter:
i don't believe in hope. hope and sympathy have never done a damn thing for this world.
[Nexus 4 General] Clayfree:
Damn you! Now I stalking this Ziptied guy ;) Makes for some fun reading
[Nexus 4 General] Ibsonic:
Okay im hallucinating right now, i need to sleep :D its 3 am right now.. :eek:
[Nexus 4 General] @rbiter:
did you just say unexpected expectations in life drive people to drugs and stuff? blame first world problems for drug problems? that'll make all the drug addicts feel better adn the ones in recovery be like wtf am i doing here? :confused:
[Nexus 4 General] MonsieurJohnny:
Mine said "Thank you for your recent purchase on Google Play. Due to overwhelming demand, your Nexus 4 is on backorder and is expected to ship within three weeks. We’ll send you a notification when your order has shipped and will credit the shipping charges."

Yours may have said different. Anyway, I'm not sure in his Monday estimate which is why I never mentioned his estimate on here. However, it's not as serious as you might think to let an employee go on an open forum. Many companies do it. His statement is just an estimate, not a confirmation. You'll often see higher ups with big companies saying unofficial statements with word choice such as "maybe".
[Nexus 4 General] qreffie:
Even with me having my phone, I'd still kind of like to know what happened with the orders that created the limbos that many of us ended up in.
[Nexus 4 General] ammmo:
Fun reading the thread but no more. The gullibility of people on the internet is insane.

Just to remind everyone here, once you find confirmed information on a person, please don't post their home address or phone # here like has been done before in this thread.
[Nexus 4 General] MatAuc12:
In this case, especially with Google(who have very very stricy policy about NDA and PR about any internal affairs) it seems to be, because THEY KNOW, they cannot not know, yet, we don't. Any information that they do not publicly say when asks means it is confidential.
[Nexus 4 General] mengwu:
Yes I did say that. This is not a first world problem though, everyone from poor to rich, first country to third world country all face that issue. We demand things that we feel we are entitled to, and when things don't go our way or when the real world smack people down, a good # of people will turn to drugs/alcohol rather than facing their problems head on.

All I am saying is keep a realistic and low expectation that is grounded base on official words from google. That way no one gets their hope up and crushed when reality does not live up to the expectation.
[Nexus 4 General] @rbiter:
hi. i am an apple engineer but don't tell anybody. your phones are belong to us. and we will be blowing up the container, actually small cardboard box on a pallet in a few moments. unless you meet our ransom. get an apple logo tattooed on your foreheads or say goodbye to preciousssssss.

3 things.

1) One post said CSR said "shipping the week after Thursday".

2) One post said CSR said "shipping Monday, overnight delivery gets delivered Tuesday".

3) We discussed a claimed Google engineer "Ziptied" (not just some troll post, but an established user on AndroidCentral) giving an estimate of "Monday" (11/27, tomorrow) for backorders on a post he made last week. http://forums.androidcentral.com/go...ification-tracking-number-81.html#post2340940

This is however, just an estimate. While he was right on the limbo 1/2 orders, this is much more iffy.

RMA = Return Merchandise Authorization

aka the people who whine about every little thing return 8 phones before they are satisfied (or the seller says "enough!"

You know, they don't like that the phone came with a screen that is too bright, then too dim, then too saturated, the earpiece volume is too high, too low, the external speaker sounds muffled when it is covered up, etc. :)

1. click the icon in the top right

2. click the settings gear icon

3. check "enable this feature" in page monitor

4. check whether you want it to notify when lost or when found, and the sound.

5. save

6. click on upper right icon again.

7. enter text

I recommend putting found and "add to cart" just to be safe since on the screen shots of AUS site, the "coming soon" box was still there when the sale went live, thus lost and "coming soon" wouldn't have tripped.

A two year warranty will be $85 with accidental damage
[Nexus 4 General] chronus719:
Hadn't quite decided on the warranty (I generally go through a phone a year and have cases/screen protectors for them anyways). I did, however, just purchase the LG WCP-700 Wireless Charging Pad for my Nexus. Some people say the beeping is terrible, others say its not so bad, so I'll report back after I've gotten the chance to use it some. Still hoping for shipping info tomorrow night.

Had their warranty on my internationally bought galaxy nexus through daily steals... Don't know had i needed them if they would have replaced my device. Anyone actually have to make a claim? Not super expensive but not worth it if you can't ever collect. I know I spent a lot paying best buy for their warranty service. In the end they got a hundred bucks out of me for nothing.
[Nexus 4 General] zizo79:
I did use them a couple of times. I thinks they have a $50 deductible and I got the full amount of the phone back.

I'm pretty sure the N4 is covered for a year. Of course, if you run over the unit and it's accidental, sign me up. I guess you could drop it too, or it could be thrown. I love the pimp facebook links.

Just picked it up for $44.77 shipped. I figured that there is a slim chance of the Orb releasing in a timely fashion as well (not to mention the high likelihood of shortages once it finally does release).

I think it's a horrible move. Note the return policy:

"Because we are a daily deals site, all sales are final. In special situations, i.e. if the product is damaged or defective, please contact us and we'll do our best to assist you."

It's going to be a pain to RMA and good luck try to canceling the order if there is a shipping delay.
