I tried but without success,bought from tmobil 500U$....but at least im in love with this phone,SO AWESOMe!!
[Nexus 4 General] @rbiter:
You and me both. I have a gnote2 sitting in my new egg cart. $619 overnighted.

...
[Nexus 4 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
Ahhh I got you my bad makes sense if I look at it like that.
[Nexus 4 General] MonsieurJohnny:
I can almost guarantee those photos are not shopped. He must have spent a lot of time on each individual detail if it was edited. I've taken plenty of pictures with torn pieces of paper somewhere in the photo and these look very real. You are all being extremely paranoid.

Tell him to send you another picture within a minute. If he sends it then buy it.
[Nexus 4 General] chrisjcks:
1. Paper sizes don't match, even if the first one shows the phone lifted up - why is the text of the paper the clearest of them all when supposedly at a distance?

2. The paper isn't grainy like the rest and shows as much higher quality than the rest of the image.

3. Paper looks creased, yet looks 2D and flat with no definition on the table.

4. Lighting and contrast of the paper do not match the rest of the image.

I say fake - dont take the risk.

But just my opinion
[Nexus 4 General] klin1344:
Nope, I'm phone less until Google play restocks. His PayPal email is non US but is verified...
[Nexus 4 General] Ibsonic:
Yeh guys, have a little faith, we are waiting together here.. so we are not alone :D go for a walk or, play games, do something to keep your mind off something else..

Well get that damn phone, at the end we are all happy and helping each other out flashing roms and kernels..just a few days left.

My father bought the gnote2 the battery its perfect,didnt buy one too beacuse i hate touchwize.
[Nexus 4 General] xueJ:
Aren't those pic taken by putting the piece of note on top of a screenshot?

Looked pretty obvious to me..
[Nexus 4 General] @rbiter:
what this guy said. it is obvious those photos were added after the fact.
[Nexus 4 General] [hfm]:
Lets just be realistic, you don't need a nexus now. This is suspect.
[Nexus 4 General] @rbiter:
not a big fan of touchwiz either. i have a gtab 2 i got for a good price and the only thing i like about it is sd card and wolfson 1811. it is now my source of music in my truck.
[Nexus 4 General] klin1344:
I've been phone less for a month now...but anyway I asked him for more proof...let's see what he says.
[Nexus 4 General] Ibsonic:
Guys believe me, to the ppl telling its real, i can even change myself into jennifer lopez if i want to :D ppl who wants to scam are very smart these days, so you really need more proof

Its just doesnt make sense that the size of the letters on that piece of paper are that big.. ppl are not writing that big in the first case.. think about those small details..

[Nexus 4 General] MonsieurJohnny:
If they were placed on top then he must have done some editing. The bottom edge of the 1st picture is tilted upward more than the the other two (the other two look the same by the way because they weren't touched).
[Nexus 4 General] PaisanNYC:
Its the first picture for me. The picture looks washed out except for the nametag. Not legit in my book
[Nexus 4 General] [hfm]:
That crap is definitely photoshopped. Look how in focus and sharp the paper is and how grainy and blurry the rest is. BE CAREEFUL.

Could be legit, but this guy seems suspect. Protect yourself. Get ahold of your nexus emotions and be smart.
[Nexus 4 General] shojus:
VERY true dirty!! ;) I'm glad to see a female carrying around a Note! lol But you can't get ANY better of a TRUE Google experience than with the Nexus 4! It's benchmarks are all over the place but I, personally, don't need benchmarks to show me that my phone is the shizit! ;) I hope they release everyone's orders very SOON! This is gonna be a great community with this device and I can't wait till they make the software and hardware FULLY align but it's pretty close...:good:
[Nexus 4 General] PaisanNYC:
Not for nothing, but its the same name tag in all three photos, look at how its cut. But then look at the first photo and see how small the nametag is next to the phone, then look at the third photo and look at how big the nametag is compared to the phone. This seller has no conception of size ratio.
[Nexus 4 General] MonsieurJohnny:
Nvm. It's not photoshopped but it is fake.
[Nexus 4 General] svengalis:
Sounds like something a scammer would say bro. People always do this type of stuff around this time of the year.
[Nexus 4 General] derPianist:
Be careful dude!

That are Screenshots taken from the pocketnow unboxing!

Go ahead and Check it Out on Youtube and you will See that it is Fake!!
[Nexus 4 General] PaisanNYC:
Almost two weeks later? Next Thursday makes two weeks. Its barely over one week since the BO email went out.

---------- Post added at 07:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:03 PM ----------

That's it! He took photos off of his monitor! Thats why the photos look washed out! (except for the nametags LOL)
[Nexus 4 General] klin1344:
Holy crap, you're right. Glad I didn't pay him yet. Its definitely a fake.
[Nexus 4 General] kcbboy:
It'll be almost two weeks since launch day though. I think that's what he really meant.

[Nexus 4 General] TrueBrush:
Shocked at how people defend the obviously photoshoped pictures, probably the same people who buy this ipad
[Nexus 4 General] MonsieurJohnny:
Actually yeah, I was wrong. That is fake. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=UiVWO16Py_4

Same ring.

It's not photoshopped. It's an unedited picture of his monitor.
[Nexus 4 General] TrueBrush:
Ok, how on Earth the guy with fake proof pictures "could be legit"?
[Nexus 4 General] derPianist:
Same Ring. Same Table. Same Nexus Home Screen Icon Placement.

Definetly Fake. Taken from pocketnowvideo Unboxing on YouTube as I Mentioned before.

I think / hope that we saved your Money dude. :)

Always be careful!!

At least we all are waiting together. :)
[Nexus 4 General] chrisjcks:
Yep, we saved him - he didn't pay yet. :)
[Nexus 4 General] elias0441:
This sounds like somebody who's trying to sell a fake nexus 4.

Is that you?
[Nexus 4 General] derPianist:
Haha excellent idea.
[Nexus 4 General] kcbboy:
Hey guys it's Brandon Miniman......
[Nexus 4 General] mcgils:
If you're going to meet in person it's not an issue - do it. If it's not face to face, forget about it.
[Nexus 4 General] MonsieurJohnny:
Look at my post after that. No it is not me.
[Nexus 4 General] [hfm]:
I mean he might have the phone but didn't want to open the box.. I would definitely NOT buy from this seller, however.
[Nexus 4 General] @rbiter:
To change the subject any rumors of app store sale like last years $.10 sale?

...
[Nexus 4 General] lionheart7282:
we saved hes ass now split the money between us.:D just kidding.
[Nexus 4 General] [hfm]:
It's actually happening all weekend. It's not quite as good as the 10 Cent - 10 billion app download sale.. but it's a sale..
[Nexus 4 General] derPianist:
Sales are always Good. :D
[Nexus 4 General] @rbiter:
i see some sales, but it is music, books and movies mostly. not really any deals at that either. don't see any apps for sale. bummer. trying not to hit the checkout button on newegg. :(
[Nexus 4 General] iboj007:
Precisely...
[Nexus 4 General] [hfm]:
If you look under games for instance there's Player Appreciation Cyber Weekend Sale. Shrug..

What you getting at newegg? None of my biz really. :)
[Nexus 4 General] kcbboy:
I hope this is not what happens but does anyone think the Nexus 4 won't be back in stock until Dec 13th? That's when the supposed white Nexus 4 is suppose to make it's debut in the UK and when Three(UK carrier) gets the Nexus 4 as well. Dec. 13th also happens to be exactly one month from initial launch. Could all just be one big coincidence but what do I know.
[Nexus 4 General] derPianist:
So. Everytime asking Google Play Support the 3 weeks are resetting and starting again.

I mean, what the hell. !?
[Nexus 4 General] TonyHoyle:
Don't do it!!

I actually did.. and my bank blocked it as 'suspicious' (which is somewhat lucky as I realized I really don't want to be dealing with touchwiz bloat..)
[Nexus 4 General] JohnMiroki:
You can try by putting in a random real US address, to see if your credit card company would allow it. I suggest you do this because many Chinese do the same and succeed. Good luck
[Nexus 4 General] gbroon:
O2 had 1 month exclusivity so this is just the first day three can offer it. They probably either have their stock on hold just now or have their own order to lg they placed previously that lg will deliver. This shouldn't have much effect on play store stock.
[Nexus 4 General] fresh_TD:
Buy it:D:D:D
[Nexus 4 General] [hfm]:
Well they promised everyone who got backordered that we would get our devices by 12/6. Unless they are only getting barely enough to fill everyone that's left on BO, but that seems like a somewhat small number at this point. Also, TMobile said 4 weeks when they ran out on the 15th. So it would in fact jive with that. Shrug

3 weeks.. 4 weeks.. not much difference there really.
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
A "promise"? What did I miss??!
[Nexus 4 General] nawoa:
1 week, 2 days since the back-order notices went out. 1 week, 4 days since you ordered. These aren't examples of "almost 2 weeks".
[Nexus 4 General] pitchshifter:
they've made a lot of bullsh!t promises.
[Nexus 4 General] [hfm]:
I suppose you are correct. the term was "expected to ship within 3 weeks". :(
[Nexus 4 General] sorcio46:
I think we won't get this phone from Google Play Store, World is going to finish soon according to Mayas :D
[Nexus 4 General] drspine:
I gave in and to the 49.99 bait for the S3 from bestbuy....

[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
Oh I wasn't trying to be a jerk, I honestly thought they had released something about a date and I missed it. Yeah, a promise is a big deal.... Like a pinky promise, you'll have bad karma for life if you go back on one of those :)

[Nexus 4 General] [hfm]:
hah i didn't assume you were being a jerk.. just calling it out as it really is... I still feel really good about getting the phone by Friday next week.

makes everything better...
[Nexus 4 General] gbroon:
Damn I got a fright till I realised it wasn't 12th June you were talking about. Stupid different date formats in UK and US.

And then you will be banned from our little group. And xda. I'll make sure of it. And then we'll all laugh at you.
[Nexus 4 General] joquarky:
I'm not sure why anyone would buy from a scalper. Not only do you risk getting ripped off or even robbed, but how would you do a warranty if something was wrong with the device?
[Nexus 4 General] intern:
Yes. And $349 for the 16GB model.
[Nexus 4 General] blade_:
thanks!maybe we need to find and american friend :p
[Nexus 4 General] Jaocagomez:
im gonna be in USA 11-15 nov, do you know if the play store its gonna be the only place to buy it? do you know if its gonna be on walmart or some place like that?
[Nexus 4 General] versd:
I recall google said that the product will not hit retail stores until the end of november.
[Nexus 4 General] franky1029:
Won't T-Mobile have it on the 14th? Don't know if that's in store, I'll call tomorrow and see.
[Nexus 4 General] ntt1409:
each day from now till nov13rd is the longest day i have to pass :(:(
[Nexus 4 General] kkh786:
As much as I want the Nexus 4 I will avoid the play store after the horrendous customer service I got trying to get a refund for my Nexus 7. Never again. They took three months to finally process it.
[Nexus 4 General] intern:
T Mobile will have it on launch, but it's $200 with a contract or $500 without I think, a rip off.
[Nexus 4 General] Ace42:
If you don't like it show your support with your wallet.
[Nexus 4 General] Initial_G:
Nexus 4

Can't wait to hit that buy button once its available!!
[Nexus 4 General] athani:
16GB variant.

With taxes and shipping, the Google Play checkout price would be closer to $400?
[Nexus 4 General] tom1807:
English is not my native language, but knowing how advertisement works, it could mean also "Delivery expected November 13" at Carphone Warehouse

There is a CPWH down the road from here, I may just go and ask them over the weekend.

Hoping they'll be selling sim free from the 13th....
[Nexus 4 General] TeRRa4:
You make a good point. Hmmmm... I may have to make some phone calls.
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
Yeah when I bought the gnex off the play store for 350 it ended up being more like 375 or 380

---------- Post added at 08:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:18 AM ----------

Some people have been saying midnight but I haven't seen anything official that says that.

the phone will be online midnight or it's going to be in the morning in normal work day? I want to order :))
[Nexus 4 General] enviii:
I'm going to try and go to sleep till 3 am. If this phone goes on sale sometime in between, please be sure to leave one for me. :fingers-crossed:

Although theres probably a 95% chance that I won't be able to fall asleep until this order has gone through. :D

You dont need a google wallet right ? My dad is doing the order for me from his credit card in the US

Currently im residing in India

Please tell me a normal payment option is possible, i dont want to call my dad and tell him he needs to set up a wallet now :P

So 100% a normal Credit or debit will work right

I've been waiting for this exact phone for 1.5 years, since the crappy single core Nexus S, passed on GNexus, just to crawl to this magnificent beats, now it's only an arm length away...
[Nexus 4 General] advil0:
You do need Google Wallet.
[Nexus 4 General] kcbboy:
If I don't get it by next Friday I'm going to kill myself. "Man kills himself over a phone." Then Google will really have to release a statement.
[Nexus 4 General] chocoyo00:
I must admit I gave in and cancelled my order. Got an iPhone 5 and actually I'm enjoying it...I know I know.. I'll be back to Android once the Nexus 4 is available within reasonable time. Maybe a 32GB version is worth waiting for :)
[Nexus 4 General] Ibsonic:
I cant believe people are considering buying a freaking iphone.. why on earth do ppl like that lame phone.. it just bleehhh you dont have any options.. just scroll a few times through ur screens and thats it.. and repeat that like 100 times a day -_- doesnt make sense..

[Nexus 4 General] Good Guy Mark:
If i were eligible for an upgrade i would have cancelled my nexus 4 right when i got the BO email and went for the iphone 5 i'm sorry but this thanksgiving was the ONLY time i had to play with a new phone meaning i was dedicating my thanksgiving break (i've been stuck in my dorm room) to a new nexus 4
[Nexus 4 General] enviii:
Google doesn't care about you. If they did, they would have given you a Nexus 4.

Even after you kill yourself, they still won't have a give a damn about you. It will be more like "OK good, he killed himself meaning there is 1 more phone available for someone else".

Reminds me of this pic I saw in this thread earlier
[Nexus 4 General] Jayrod1980:
I'm really getting sick of waiting. 2 more nights before we even have a chance at new stock going out

IPhone is a pretty good all around phone. Really it's more things wrong with apple and many of it's fans. It's the groupie club from hell and the only entrance to get in is you gotta pimp that apple.

[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
I've been doing the same thing haha. I just want it in my hands!
[Nexus 4 General] [hfm]:
Just wait the 3 weeks, they are even completely different ecosystems, not understanding the logic

It'll be "available within reasonable time" in weeks, are you really going to buy an iPhone 5 to use it for weeks? Not making sense.

You need time to play with a new phone? You'll be using it for months and months, why does dedicating a break to playing with it help?

I am not understanding any of you guys and your motives and logic behind your decisions... I guess to each their own but none of it makes any sense to me...
[Nexus 4 General] slowpc:
Yep ... another day with nothing. But I understand that based on the holiday... maybe a shipped product for us this week.

Iphones something that has just never excited me. I've never looked at it and thought its a must have. They just don't invoke my gadget addiction in the same way seeing android or even windows phone does.

id say IPHONE is like the ADVANCED ADVANCED ADVANCED version of our old nokia phones...u jus pik up and it works..nothing more nothing less... but an android ..it jus gives us that tingling feeling of options and changes and....its jus way more geeky than an iphone...those who love technology and want to learn more things will like android.. those who dont bother will like iphone..

Nah, I'd take the iPhone. Just because of apps, browsing, screen estate, performance. You guys can't really sleep on the iPhone, the hardware is one of the best, It's the software that sucks.

[Nexus 4 General] ammmo:
One can hope. I just checked and some of you have been here for 8+ hrs. That is dedication. :)

I believe the remaining stock w/e it was went to TMobile as per agreement, and even TMobile sold out quickly.

Now that a lot of people have the phone, the issues are mounting. Screen, buzz, etc.

Google is fixing the bugs they can with software, but some of the bugs may be hardware, in which case the delay for this phone is only going to multiply. It's the ultimate crescendo for those selling them on ebay for a profit who got 30, and for Google for f'ing the whole process.

Monday it is, I will be here and others will as well.
[Nexus 4 General] ferozfero:
u got me wrong bro..im talking even more ancient than the n95 and n9s... i think the symbian system had more hackability than ios..
[Nexus 4 General] ryandesu:
They are shopped.... you have no idea the power of photoshop, at more than a beginners level, things like this are achieved very easily. Just look at it, the paper has no shading whatsoever and the pixel width of the paper is the same size in each picture however the relative size of the phone/box change in each one.

I suppose this (terrible) level of bad photoshop does work for some people though...
