i hope you didnt pay £499 lol

]]ah good edit lol
[Nexus 4 General] Mogster:
Yes that's right, £399.99 handset price.

Cough.
[Nexus 4 General] ste1164:
Aha smoothhhh
[Nexus 4 General] akhan47:
Where's everyone who is still waiting for an update on Google Play order made on the day of release? I ordered within the hour and all I got was confirmation and then BO e-mail... nothing since.
[Nexus 4 General] mrallen81:
I'm with ya buddy :(
[Nexus 4 General] Pkshields:
So earlier on I also tweeted the O2 guy saying is the TV offer still on, saying I'm going to get it on PAYG. The guy replied back saying "It is! Tweet us a picture of your receipt to be in with a chance :)". I just got the phone and tweeted them, think I'm still in with a chance? I have opened it, but if I'm not in the running for the TV I'll probably return it too.
[Nexus 4 General] akhan47:
:crying:
[Nexus 4 General] Mogster:
O2 allow you a seven day return even if you've used the phone. I'm just not taking any chances.
[Nexus 4 General] Publicglutton:
Google CS told me this morning that those who got the BO message will have to wait UPTO 3 weeks for a SECOND BATCH...:crying:
[Nexus 4 General] italia0101:
Interesting, so it is looking like they changed it, yea i think yourl still be in with a chance, annoyingly lol we are going to have to play the waiting game AGAIN

---------- Post added at 05:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:29 PM ----------

I swear every picture i see on twitter is showing payngo receipts
[Nexus 4 General] Mogster:
Great isn't it? :silly:

I'm hoping they'll honour at least the last few seeing as they literally changed the T&C's while I was buying the thing.
[Nexus 4 General] italia0101:
Did you get a tweet then? or still waiting
[Nexus 4 General] Mogster:
Not yet no. I only tweeted them half an hour ago.
[Nexus 4 General] italia0101:
ok well, heres hoping!
[Nexus 4 General] OriginalBilly:
Room for another one in the club? ;):(
[Nexus 4 General] sebbo90:
Phone went missing, sent out from google on wednesday. TNT said they are looking into it on Friday and investigating. Had said "please call" since friday on the latest status. Then this afternoon this came up. "Shipment held in warehouse -Recovery underway" Anyone had any dealings with TNT before and got this message???? Does it mean they have found it and I can finally get hold of my phone
[Nexus 4 General] snowdej:
terms

Hi

Even if they did change the terms - I bet term 15 was in all of them

term15 - we can change the terms when and how we like.

I am not risking it for a tv I don't want

Jools
[Nexus 4 General] will444:
Ah it feels so good to have this beast at last!!
[Nexus 4 General] Mogster:
There's no risk other than being short of £400 for a while, as long as you return it within a week.
[Nexus 4 General] mrallen81:
We need our own thread lol
[Nexus 4 General] italia0101:
its basically a £100 risk...
[Nexus 4 General] Pkshields:
That's what I'm worried about. Looks like their starting to send out "Pay Monthly Only" tweets.
[Nexus 4 General] t0ph0id:
There is if they don't tell you that you haven't actually won for over a week. Then you can't return your £400 handset.
[Nexus 4 General] snowdej:
bonus or depending on it?

Hi

The promotion says you'll know in 28 days - long past any return period - its just a way to mitigate returned units.

If you are treating the TV as a bonus then all is good.

If you are depending on it to get costs back.... errm

jools
[Nexus 4 General] Pkshields:
Yeah I know :laugh: . It just seemed like a good risk earlier on, I'm not dependant on it, just a little miffed that the guy earlier said I was eligible and now I'm suddenly not.
[Nexus 4 General] laminarpanda:
I just got my tweet from O2: "Thanks! Your television will be with you within 28 days as long as you don't return the phone :)"

So it looks I'll be selling my Google Play one, 8GB as soon as it arrives, who knows when ( No even Google!! HAhahaha!!)

So if anyone is interested, PM Me. £260 as I'm not really interested in profit, but only London collection.

I just hope O2 doesn't mess it as badly as Google and cancels my TV!
[Nexus 4 General] Mogster:
Good point. :(

EDIT: Well that's promising! ^
[Nexus 4 General] AngryRabidBadger:
I did mine on PAYG but I've already been PM'd and told I'm getting the TV. Was that pay monthly stipulation always there?
[Nexus 4 General] snowdej:
Weasel words?

Not sure he said you were eligible - he said to be in with a chance - as in the first hurdle

I don't think he said you are eligible. Just that you cannot be eligible unless you send a receipt pic in. The converse is not true.

Jools
[Nexus 4 General] kaiowas82:
I explicitly said to them I was on payg and I got confirmation I'm getting the tv:)
[Nexus 4 General] snowdej:
What wording

What did o2 actually say - word for word?

The terms are what they decide to apply as far as I can tell

I have only seen the t&c with the paygo stipulation - but term 15 allows them to amend it as they wish anyhow

http://news.o2.co.uk/2012/11/19/got-your-nexus-4-yet-ours-has-a-very-big-screen/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=got-your-nexus-4-yet-ours-has-a-very-big-screen

---------- Post added at 07:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:59 PM ----------

Hi

Sorry I don't read it as a confirmation - just a request to do something - i.e send a pic

Jools
[Nexus 4 General] MattSkeet:
well this is unfair, some are getting them on PAYG and some arent. You cant change rules whenever you want especially if it applied to people before you. I think if you threat them with Traiding Standards might change their mind
[Nexus 4 General] italia0101:
Yea looks good, i just hope they dont change it, by confirmation, do you mean that tweet that says Thanks, you tv should be with you in 28 days"
[Nexus 4 General] snowdej:
o2 could still get out of it

So they can "declare void the notification of recipients; and/or to reallocate available gifts"

It is completely misleading

:(
[Nexus 4 General] JeepoUK:
Hey guys, any update today? Checking in, have not read back so I guess wondering if anyone has had an email, or if anything has shipped, or changed on the play store.............
[Nexus 4 General] italia0101:
afraid not, nothing about the Google play store
[Nexus 4 General] snowdej:
Playstore CSR call

Hi

Just off the phone with them - they are going to escalate it - just a way of getting me off the phone :(

Jools
[Nexus 4 General] jimbob_me:
No, we're paying £399 for a £279 phone. Even more reason for the O2 staff to be happy about making a killing on the phone. The manager even told me i could buy it online for £279.

So, whats the deal with this TV then? Reckon the 250 tweets have been sent yet? Hmm
[Nexus 4 General] kaiowas82:
Exactly, plus I've asked about delivery notification (they said they will get in contact if they CAN'T deliver) and the model of TV and they answered without problems
[Nexus 4 General] Mogster:
It doesn't look like it, but they have amended the T&Cs to restrict it to Pay Monthly contracts only. We're waiting to see if they honour any tweets sent after the change.
[Nexus 4 General] big_b0sss:
Wtf o2 I bought mine in pay&go tweeted yesterday evening got DM today that I will be getting my TV within 28 days as long as I keep the phone now t&c says its for pay monthly customers only. What do u think guy will they give to the pay&go customers if not im gonna return my phone back I've still got 4 days to return :confused::confused:
[Nexus 4 General] italia0101:
i guess the question is are they still saying , thanks your tv has been sent on the recent tweets
[Nexus 4 General] MattSkeet:
im so tempted to open the box from o2 :(
[Nexus 4 General] snowdej:
If you are prepared to accept the tv as a bonus then there is no problem - if you bought it because of the tv - come 28 days you are hoping for their goodwill.

Jools
[Nexus 4 General] italia0101:
open it , lol crazy
[Nexus 4 General] kaiowas82:
They do say 28 days because this is the time in which, by law, you can return the handset or getting an immediate change if your phone is faulty without sending it to a repair centre. And that means different imei.

Edit

Actually I paid 399 for a phone worth 279 and a TV worth 400...so no reason to regret to have bought the n4 from o2, I would run to buy it if I was one of the waiting people :D
[Nexus 4 General] 666fff:
Open it!
[Nexus 4 General] jaybeerex:
Well I boughtught one and tweeted them but had no reply, looks like it's going back tomorrow! Not too fussed, was always a gamble
[Nexus 4 General] trice1921:
Received my Nexus 4 today, but it's not recognising any sim cards. O2 have arranged for a replacement to be sent out. On the plus side i won a TV :D
[Nexus 4 General] AngryRabidBadger:
ugh, every so often the phone tells me theres no sim card in it - and I need to remove and re-add the sim.

Dunno if its the phone or my self-done simcutter job with my giffgaff sim :(

high lead time on replacements from those guys too
[Nexus 4 General] lonespeaker:
This happens with my playstore supplied n4 with a vodafone sim. Seems to be entirely random when it happens and I need to turn off/back on to fix it.
[Nexus 4 General] JeepoUK:
Thanks for the update guys!

And :(
[Nexus 4 General] LawAce:
Meh o2 are useless.

Went to their store just now to get the N4 and they told me they can't sell it on PAYG anymore because "people are buying them and selling them on ebay for profit" - as if that is my problem!

Looks like a lucky escape anyway if the TV offer is no longer eligible for PAYG customers. Tempted to pay the full price anyway as I can't be bothered to wait till mid December for a chance to 'possibly' get one from Google.
[Nexus 4 General] mustyrash:
DON'T! Be a good boy! Not a naughty boy

I got mine and my bros from O2 for the tv too. Both on pay and go, my tv thingy came through, his hasn't and there is a 10 min time difference in the purchase, both before 16.30. We both need tv's but they haven't got back to him. I'm guessing we will have to wait till tomorrow. If they don't get back to me then I will give the phones back, I still have my google order but I will cancel once I've got the other tv confirmed

I'm so tempted to open the box too! I need nexus :(
[Nexus 4 General] LawAce:
BTW, the cheapest contract, including a £50 quidco (not guaranteed obviously) comes to £382 for the phone. So winning a TV by getting a contract is still doable.

I suppose you have the same rights to return the phone on contract as you do on PAYG as long as you don't start the contract.
[Nexus 4 General] iWannaBeAdored:
How is the cheapest contract with Quidco £382? I thought it was a lot more?

How easy is it to cancel a contract and just pay up the rest?

I'm planning on buying it on PAYG tomorrow and chancing it for a TV but I might go down the contract route and just cancel it?
[Nexus 4 General] MattSkeet:
Can you pm me when they send you confirmation please?
[Nexus 4 General] LawAce:
It's £179.99 up front plus 24x £13.50, however you can remove the data bolt-on which is £3 I believe (would need to check) making it 24x £10.50.

£179.99 + £252 (24x10.50) - £50 (quidco) = £382. If I've done my sums right.
[Nexus 4 General] iWannaBeAdored:
How do I remove the data bolt-on? Seems pretty good although I'd need to do it online so don't know how the whole TV thing would work out?
[Nexus 4 General] mustyrash:
if i remember :) i will inform everyone here anyway
[Nexus 4 General] Leong428:
It's about time again ;) Has anyone got a shipping email from Google today?
[Nexus 4 General] jaybeerex:
I think it will be a week before we see anymore :(
[Nexus 4 General] JeepoUK:
No, it seems only the USA has had any updates since Tuesday........
[Nexus 4 General] jimbob_me:
Thats bollocks. O2 are selling the thing for £120 more expensive than google anyway. Kinda shot themselves in the face by saying that i think!

Im sure the real reason they stopped selling on PAYG is because they realise that everyone is just buying them to stick their own non-O2 sim card in. For shame O2, for shame!
[Nexus 4 General] iWannaBeAdored:
I went into the O2 store in Perth, Scotland, and they had 5 units - sold none of them. Didn't even have a Nexus 4 on display!
[Nexus 4 General] Michealtbh:
Remember, o2 only have exclusivity for another 3 weeks. After then any network/shop/website can sell the N4 and hopefully cheaper than o2. Worth keeping in mind if Google only get limited stock in again.
[Nexus 4 General] big_b0sss:
Has anyone got any confirmation about the TV deal eligible for pay &go customers.
[Nexus 4 General] iWannaBeAdored:
Forgot about this actually. Then we should see Tesco, Orange, Expansy etc selling it. Hopefully some lower prices!
[Nexus 4 General] jaybeerex:
Sent mine at 4.56 and nothing now, not even a reply to say no payg? Think it's a no go.....
[Nexus 4 General] jparnell:
Got a DM from O2 that TV will be with us within 28days. Thats it. Should there be more?
[Nexus 4 General] jaybeerex:
What time did u tweet them?
[Nexus 4 General] jparnell:
This morning 11am ish
[Nexus 4 General] AvRS:
I got it on PAYG and I sent a pic of the receipt nice and clear which shows what I paid so they can see it's PAYG and they still spoke to me today about it and said "Thanks! Your television will be with you within 28 days as long as you don't return the phone :)" same as the others who tweeted. I checked the T's & C's after speaking with them and it was exactly the same as they are now so not sure they can tell by the IMEI.

Give them a chance to get back as seems all they're responding to for the last few hours has been issues.

For those that already have bought why don't you simply tweet a pic of you holding the receipt and phone box or the phone/box beside the receipt from far enough away that you can't actually make out any of the details (focus on just the box) as that's all I've seen from others. One guy is holding his receipt with box and bag in the other hand and you can't even see the receipt properly. I think my pic is one of the clearer receipt pics. When they DM you they will ask for name, a mobile number (any number apparently), a delivery address and your IMEI number. I don't know what details the IMEI gives them but hopefully just proves you bought it from O2 as I guess they will have a range of IMEI's or something like that. If all else fails play dumb and don't ask questions as they will have to respond with the official line.
[Nexus 4 General] jparnell:
I'll go with that. I think the IMEI also makes sure they only give one TV per phone.

So no one has any follow ups to "Thanks! Your television will be with you within 28 days as long as you don't return the phone" ?
[Nexus 4 General] wolfboy1984:
Only that.
[Nexus 4 General] Shaizer:
Just ordered my nexus 4 on the 13.50 a month contract - will remove the data add on. Does anyone know when quidco tracking email comes up? It will arrive on wednesday, hopefully I can tweet to the O2 on twitter to win the TV...what do you guys reckon are my chances?
[Nexus 4 General] MDaveUK:
No emails tonight ... bummer.

A week ago, stayed up all night waiting for the play store to start selling, managing to get one 16GB Nexus 4 at 8:33am, about 15 minutes from when they opened. Others have received theirs ordering after me, even people that multi-ordered a few of them hours after I did.

Just the 3 week back order email. Not cool Google. :( Anyone else in the same boat? Or has everyone else gone with the o2 + TV deal :P
[Nexus 4 General] TeRRa4:
They shouldn't start until 8AM. Set an alarm for 7:45 and get up then. That'll give you enough time to get your computer on, place your order and then you can go back to bed!
[Nexus 4 General] DarkShadowAy:
Australia's lack of stock is keeping all of us awake!
[Nexus 4 General] TeRRa4:
Yeah, just read up on that. Maybe it's not a lack of stock but Google turning round and saying "Hang on a minute! It hasn't been released anywhere else yet. You can wait!"
[Nexus 4 General] pichu23:
positive it would be 8am ? :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 4 General] DarkShadowAy:
According to techradar - Still speculative but multiple sources are indicating 8am to be jackpot.

http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/11/12/australia-order-your-nexus-4-from-the-play-store-starting-now/
[Nexus 4 General] pichu23:
i sure hope so. :)
[Nexus 4 General] leerobson99:
On contract
[Nexus 4 General] MattSkeet:
supposedly 2 hours till deadline... Its too late to go to bed now, and reading all those stories about australian realese wont make me sleep till I order one today

i'm here with you mate ! :laugh: :victory:

[Nexus 4 General] MattSkeet:
its been gone since midnight for obvious reasons....
[Nexus 4 General] vizzy:
Virgin do not charge for tethering either, ive seen it on the internet and ive never been charged. Before i came to virgin i used to use my dads phone to tether and hes never complained to me about being charged.

Eurgh, an hour, this is ridiculous, ive never been up and waiting to order something. The things we do when our current phones power button is broke eh?
[Nexus 4 General] leerobson99:
I checked cpw website this morning and there is a white version listed....

[Nexus 4 General] Michealtbh:
This is exciting, I'm broke but I think I'll use my overdraft to buy it anyway, my HOX will be sold by the end of the week.
[Nexus 4 General] cadams85:
Don't suppose anyone has tried ringing Google to check release time?
[Nexus 4 General] Basil3:
I'm living in Ireland and it's ridiculous that we have Google headquarters here yet we can't even buy from the play store.

In any case, I've told a mate who is buying for me in the UK that it will be available at 8am or 9am or 12pm or 5pm....anyone got a better guess? :D
[Nexus 4 General] pichu23:
i was told 8am. not sure bout 12 or 5 though o.o hope not.
[Nexus 4 General] Basil3:
Was just thinking 12 because thats when it went on sale in Aussie (I think) and 5pm is 9am PST which is what everyone in the states seems to be saying now
[Nexus 4 General] rickykemp:
mate, my order time was 08:26 and I'm in the exact situation you just said.
[Nexus 4 General] supercakefish:
Same. It's all quiet on the Google front.

*tumbleweed rolls by...*
[Nexus 4 General] MDaveUK:
Whats your plan? :P Going to stick through with it?
[Nexus 4 General] Shaizer:
How long did it take for your quidco to track mate?
[Nexus 4 General] rickykemp:
I want a Nexus 4, and the main point that got me wanting it was the £279 price tag.

So, looks like I have only the one option.
[Nexus 4 General] roughavoc:
After having a good look through the nightmare that the SGS3 people are having with 4.1.2, I told myself that I can wait. It will defo be worth it having the updates as they come and fully working plain Android
[Nexus 4 General] trice1921:
I think it was at least a few hours. I ordered Friday night and by Saturday morning it was showing as tracked.
[Nexus 4 General] iWannaBeAdored:
I think I'm going to do the Nexus 4 contact thing. How do I remove the data bolt on?
[Nexus 4 General] THFourteen:
I'm not sure... there are a number of £300ish Galaxy S3s surfacing on ebay now... sorely tempted to get one of those instead.

Neither phone is perfect for me, both have +ves and -ves so i'm just not sure.
[Nexus 4 General] DHTC:
Thanks to the op for the open discount idea, i might go ahead with it.

So 179.99 for the handset and 10.50 removing the data bolt on. With the open discount of 50, and another 50 from quidco. So it would be 331.99 total. Also might recycle my current phone for 70 to push it down to 261.99.
[Nexus 4 General] fleonard:
At least you have ordered it. I'm still waiting for the restock and hoping to get one when became available.

I don't want a contract and i don't want to spend 400£ so...I have just an option, wait....
[Nexus 4 General] iWannaBeAdored:
Do O2 charge a cancellation fee?
[Nexus 4 General] Devzz:
So I've just tried to the o2 open thing to see if I can get a code and have managed to get a it although I am not under any o2 open employment scheme :s am I missing something? The o2 open codes can also be sent to upto 5 people (sorry if this has already been mentioned!)
[Nexus 4 General] iWannaBeAdored:
Awesome. Could you send me a code then, if that's cool?
[Nexus 4 General] KrishB26:
So I have an interesting update. My dad rang google today to see what was up. They said that they had not yet taken the payment for some reason. They asked if we had received the backlog email and my dad said no, even though we did. The google rep then told my dad that the device should be shipped soon and if I didnt receive a shipping email in the next two days I should ring them again...

I ordered the 16Gb model at around 8:24am.

I was backlogged but the google guy said that it should be shipped within the next two days... maybe they've got some new stock in? :confused:
[Nexus 4 General] Audioboxer:
As discussed many times the customer service reps are terrible and know nothing.

Tricking them into saying something isn't helping you either.
[Nexus 4 General] savo83:
Any chance we could have all the o2 chat in another thread?
[Nexus 4 General] KrishB26:
True, however it means that theyve not run out if theyre still shipping out to non-backlogged customers, but then again these guys know nothing so..
[Nexus 4 General] snowdej:
good idea

I agree - good idea
[Nexus 4 General] Manipulas:
A lot better than every other post being "am i going to receive my shipping email tonight" or "i am so pissed off google haven't despatched my order yet".
[Nexus 4 General] Deeco7:
Who's on Limbo 3?
[Nexus 4 General] TeamAlpha:
What surprises me is that everyone in this thread seems to have managed to order a Nexus 4 but have no idea when it's shipping. Am I the only one who couldn't order one on launch and now is confusedly waiting to see if they'll be back in stock before 2013?
[Nexus 4 General] savo83:
To you? Maybe. The vast majority in this thread haven't ordered from o2 though. It's not a big deal but it's not relevant to 90% of the people posting on here now.

Is there any issue with starting a dedicated thread?

---------- Post added at 10:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:33 PM ----------

I ordered on release. I'm pretty confident mine will be dispatched alongside your order when you finally make it.

Google are an embarrassment. You can't just send out an email saying it'll be "3 Weeks". What the hell went wrong? What are they doing about it? Do they even have stock?

So many questions...
[Nexus 4 General] adamski123:
Oh man u just read my mind.
[Nexus 4 General] savo83:
I'm honestly tempted to just cancel on friday if I haven't heard anything. I'll be getting a BB10 device soon so the novelty is already wearing thin...
[Nexus 4 General] fleonard:
Same here but i hope in a restock soon...maybe early december
[Nexus 4 General] Devzz:
Maybe so but its a UK thread with "Information etc" in the title. I think the other 10% who are losing patience and want to cancel would be happy with the information etc provided and can go ahead and get their o2 discounts and get the phone through o2. There's not really a need to start an entire thread for 2 lines of information.
[Nexus 4 General] MattSkeet:
read the frigging topic title!!! Its actually less relevant when you talk every 5 min about google shipping the order

EDIT: to be honest all the shipping sh!t should go to a different topic (right at the top of the forum), here I should look for info e.g like o2 discounts contracts etc
[Nexus 4 General] tonybhoy:
im in the same boat mate,but i have only a week before my upgrade kicks in or tell orange im leaving,if i stay its i5 for me
[Nexus 4 General] iWannaBeAdored:
For the cashback what is better to use: topcashback or Quidco?

Edit: Yeah this thread shouldn't be as focused on Google Play orders. Doesn't even mention it in the title...
