Again this seems to be in most competition terms. I won a competition with Microsoft to go to the MTV EMAs and when I got there they just wanted one promo photo out of me and my mate.

They'll most likely ask us to take a photo with the TV and tweet it or something.
[Nexus 4 General] mbanners:
That's the thing – the lack of information is more annoying than the lack of a phone...!

Also, I'm starting to look towards the end of the three week window coming up, but the Backorder email said "expected to ship within three weeks", so there's no guarantee of anything happening next week at all.
[Nexus 4 General] zukuvybz:
They already got us to take a picture of ourselves with the phone. ;). BTW this swipe keyboard feature is really good!!
[Nexus 4 General] palitsyn:
I picked mine up from carphone warehouse sim free last friday. The stock seems to be quite limited, but you can check tit online, when you order the phone.
[Nexus 4 General] vollmilch:
bull***

they told me so last week already. guess what? yeah, nothing :silly:
[Nexus 4 General] mrallen81:
We will just have to wait it out

Sent from Nexus 4 only if Google move there ass!
[Nexus 4 General] zibby64:
I'm hoping they plan to get enough stock to clear the back orders AND put it back on sale. They must be aware people are saying when they get their's delivered so if they started doing deliveries in small batches they'll start getting phone calls/emails asking why people have theirs and I don't sorta thing.
[Nexus 4 General] neilmunn:
Just checked and my local Carphone Warehouse has 2 in stock!

If I order it online, will I get any Quidco cashback? They don't seem to offer anything for sim free phones.
[Nexus 4 General] TonyHoyle:
IIRC there's a £5 back on payg but it's hardly worth the effort.
[Nexus 4 General] adjuk84:
That's so they can find the beautiful people to out in the ad's am not worried about that.
[Nexus 4 General] Devzz:
Finally got my mitts on a Nexus :victory: Hopefully o2 will tweet back and say I've won a TV! Would hate to return it :(

[Nexus 4 General] reformat:
You should be ok I just got my conformation DM this minute hope you get one
[Nexus 4 General] paprkut:
I wonder when they will run out. O2 lock handsets that's a fact but the nexus s are not locked due to coming from Google directly
[Nexus 4 General] seaempty:
So I caved and got one from O2. Just got the confirmation of winning the TV, and delivery is expected on the 10th Dec. I'll keep the TV, as the way I see it, is that you're getting a £400 quid TV for £150, plus whatever I can get for selling my old one.

It really was quick and painless. I've been thinking about it all weekend, but now it's done, I'm so relieved. Just hope it doesn't go tits up down the line. Counting your eggs before they've hatched, and all that...
[Nexus 4 General] adjuk84:
Mines from o2 and works with my virgin sim in.
[Nexus 4 General] ref1ux:
I got one from CPW Clapham Junction on Thursday last week. Ordered it online for Collect At Store.
[Nexus 4 General] voxov:
How did you manage to get that delivery date out of them?

When I asked for further details they just pointed me to the T&C but obviously there's nothing there helpful..
[Nexus 4 General] spences10:
Great news, I have said it many times now I won't believe anything I hear from Google Play until I have my n4 in my hand

Which may be Easter at this rate!! :)
[Nexus 4 General] seaempty:
I asked if we'd get a notification of when it was dispatched, and they said no, but delivery is expected around the 10th.

Screenshot attached.
[Nexus 4 General] Baz8755:
I too am using a Virgin Sim in an O2 phone.

Just wandering if there is any way they could force an O2 lock at a later date (via an update)
[Nexus 4 General] undercover:
Nope. There is a possibility they will lock newer phones later, but very unlikely.
[Nexus 4 General] Korv:
Lol no, they can't do that. You're safe buddy.
[Nexus 4 General] voxov:
Ah ok, I just hope they don't pull a google on us and have our TVs go in limbo :p
[Nexus 4 General] Arival:
Yep, i asked if i could make an official complaint about the lack of information as it was that complete nonchalance towards communication which was frustrating me rather than anything else (i can live with my S2 for another few weeks, it's a nice phone and patience is hardly expensive) and all i got was something along the lines of 'i'll make a note in your case sir, we are aware of the dissatisfaction among customers and can only appologise' - i.e. we won't do anything.
[Nexus 4 General] undercover:
I see no reason for them to do this.
[Nexus 4 General] Devzz:
This. Got my TV delivery confirmation too :D only 47 TV's left as of 20 minutes ago!
[Nexus 4 General] JeepoUK:
First time checking in today guys, any updates or emails?
[Nexus 4 General] Bobbyballbags:
Where are getting this info (remaining sets) from? Tempted to try this out but if the TV's are dwindling I probably wont have the time.
[Nexus 4 General] everett_psycho:
If it's accurate they have only shifted 90 since Thursday, with 47 left I think you should still have a day or 2 to get dibs on one, who wants to post it to hukd when there's about 3 left and watch them all go nuts :D
[Nexus 4 General] voxov:
It's just they seem to be giving different information as to shipping times to different people. It all seems a bit familiar.
[Nexus 4 General] Bobbyballbags:
Have you a little link to the count down?
[Nexus 4 General] everett_psycho:
I don't know if the is one, they said they had 137 on Thursday when I got mine and someone just said there was 47 left. They just update every so often but I'm not sure where people are finding these figures
[Nexus 4 General] voxov:
Ok, I just DM'd them to ask about delivery and they gave me the same 10th of Dec aswell!
[Nexus 4 General] iWannaBeAdored:
I don't want to be a **** and message them about an ETA for delivery when they spend all day helping troubled customers :p

I messaged them last night asking if I'm still eligible for TV if I let my sister borrow my phone for a week (she's on Orange). They said it's fine as long as the O2 SIM has been used at some point in the Nexus 4.

ALSO: Go to https://play.google.com/apps For me it says "Apps installed on Orange LGE Nexus 4". Are others the same i.e. instead of O2 it says your current network provider?
[Nexus 4 General] wolfboy1984:
Why would they say that?? Its not in t&c you have to use sim in nexus4. Seems a little weird for them to say that don't you think?

But maybe I should dig out the sim out of the back of the drawer and make a call or 2 on it..

Prob worth doing tho if they just said that. Keep them happy.
[Nexus 4 General] iWannaBeAdored:
To be honest mate I think it's similar to the retail store staff telling people the phone is locked to O2. They can't promote other networks too easily I assume in case their Twitter messages are monitored.
[Nexus 4 General] B97:
Is this good?

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 General] everett_psycho:
Mine says o2 lge nexus 4. But I'm on tesco so it may see it as o2 regardless. My sim will be deactivated for a bit tomorrow anyway so might shove the o2 one in for the afternoon until I pick up my replacement tesco one. Stupidly ordered it then felt brave so took some scissors to my full size one
[Nexus 4 General] gbroon:
Think its normal my retail razr shows my network operator.
[Nexus 4 General] undercover:
Correct. Market picks up your operator. Some operators offer different things, but i think this is mainly in US, that's why it reads it.
[Nexus 4 General] Carnoustie:
Damn! I'm blowing hot and cold on this free TV deal...

I was half way out the door on Friday night but had second thoughts...

The main Pro and con for me is :

Cant seeing me getting an N4 any other way this side of xmas as I reckon the second batch will just about cover existing orders

on the other hand :

Selling it wont be straight forward (because of the size of it) and will I get more than 200 quid for it after fees / postage etc

Don't get me wrong, I think its a no brainer if your after a TV but not sure its worth the hassle if you need to sell it on...
[Nexus 4 General] undercover:
Don't you have a social cycle that connects to another social cycle and so on? There is gumtree. You can sell it at good price, it might just take a bit more than a day or two. I think people make it look more hassle than it is. I might be keeping tv, depends of it fits in one particular place.
[Nexus 4 General] Devzz:
Hey guys sorry for the late reply! I asked the rep tweeting DM-ing me on twitter..probably gone down to about 40 or less now? Anyone thinking of going for it, try your luck :) you can always cancel within 7 days if they run out of TV's
[Nexus 4 General] Shaizer:
I think it best to move all the O2 television talk to this thread, thank you! http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2014935
[Nexus 4 General] Carnoustie:
LOL have you ever tried selling stuff on gumtree?

I know what you mean though. I just think some people are being a little over optimistic with regards to how much the tv is actually worth.
[Nexus 4 General] iWannaBeAdored:
You're getting a BRAND NEW £349 (Amazon) TV so you'll definitely get more than £200 for it. There is no reason to sell it that low when it's brand new.

I agree with you about the next batch. I think the next batch Google receives will cover the people with backorders. I really doubt any new orders will be processed before the new year.
[Nexus 4 General] everett_psycho:
Really to not lose money you only need to sell the TV for £150 and you paid what the play store is charging for the nexus. Anything over that you are just getting the nexus even cheaper. I'm sure you could easily make £150 from a brand new smart TV even if it is only a 32" one.
[Nexus 4 General] JeepoUK:
How do we know how many TVs are left? And what model is the TV?
[Nexus 4 General] Brodel:
I can't wait until these TV's are sold out and I can check this thread in hope of some real news about the Nexus 4 again.

Shaizer has kindly created a thread for all the TV talk :good: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2014935
[Nexus 4 General] iWannaBeAdored:
Real news? There is no news. Anyone who ordered from Google have to play the waiting game, that's about it. UK reps know nothing new.

I don't see the point in splitting this thread. All UK chat should be in here and it does says contracts in the title, which the O2 deal is.
[Nexus 4 General] zukuvybz:
so is it ok for me to remove the £3 bolt?
[Nexus 4 General] Shaizer:
The O2 deal is more of a competition, now if we start talking about delivery of a TV (which will eventually start in a week or two) then it becomes way off-topic here.
[Nexus 4 General] zukuvybz:
I wouldn't have seen this deal if it was in another thread!
[Nexus 4 General] deejay187:
I too have been considering this free TV offer, but it all seems a little blurry to me.

I contacted O2 via direct message on Twitter at the weekend asking about if they had TVs left, and if i went out and got one an tweeted later that day if I would get one and they kept saying it's a competition so no guarantees. I will quote the response they sent me:

"We can't guarantee you a TV as it's a comp, but if you get one from an O2 store on PM and tweet us you'll have as good a chance as anyone"

Yet I still see them responding the people today asking if any TV's left and they say "Yes a few". Surely by default then Anyone tweeting will get one, as the terms state its the first 233 people to tweet?

I am very confused. I don't even need/want the phone contract but a new TV would be handy and obviously like many of you frustrated: I really, really want the Nexus 4.. I just don't wanna do this and not get the TV...

Any thoughts people?
[Nexus 4 General] DHTC:
No harm giving it a shot. Just give @o2 a tweet with #lifeisgood at the end and wait. I got a reply in 40 minutes. If you don't get a reply then its up to you to refund it in time.
[Nexus 4 General] deejay187:
But did your reply confirm you got a TV or just that "they'll be in touch" ?

What if the confirmation that you got the TV comes after the return period?

Potential stitch up, right there.
[Nexus 4 General] DHTC:
I got a reply saying congratulations please dm us your imei, name, o2 number and address. Then the message after was tv will be delivered in 28days as long as you do not return your phone.
[Nexus 4 General] wolfboy1984:
It's not a competition. Its a deal. It's strictly on a first come first serve basis (as o2 themselves say)- as long as you qualify to the terms and you aren't an idiot.

I thought that was clear by now.
[Nexus 4 General] Shaizer:
All O2 Television competition talk here please, I'll keep the first post updated with new information! http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2014935
[Nexus 4 General] deejay187:
I agree with you totally, From reading the offer page terms that is exactly what it is. But read what I quoted and tell why o2 would be saying that to me on Twitter?
[Nexus 4 General] Shaizer:
O2 themselves state that it is a competition as you have to submit an entry and await a response to win. A deal would be those offers which bundle eg. a TV or console in the contract.
[Nexus 4 General] wolfboy1984:
Its a deal. In fact its the...
[Nexus 4 General] lombardo8:
Unfortunately O2 dont like to play by their own rules. My missus was refused a TV even though others who tweeted after her got offered TVs.
[Nexus 4 General] wolfboy1984:
I was referring to you lol. (Don't do multiple entries from same address.)

Edit. Its common sense one would think? Its to be expected o2 would of course take exception to households OBVIOUSLY 'on the make'. Or maybe not.
[Nexus 4 General] lombardo8:
You were referring to me as an idiot? Kids nowadays eh!

Where in the T&C does it say no multiple entries from same address? The qualifying criteria is an N4 on a pay monthly contract. I got one for me and one for my wife. How thick are you that you cant understand that. Can't you read and comprehend? Plonker.
[Nexus 4 General] reformat:
You are Wright it doesn't say in T&C that 2 people from same address can't get TV I think 2 brothers a few days a go got them don't know if they lived at same address
[Nexus 4 General] iWannaBeAdored:
I asked about delivery and they said "The latest date for the TV to arrive is the 28th of Dec, but we'll let you know when it's coming :)". I assume this means that people who submit their entries on 1st December (before midnight) could expect delivery up to 28th December.

As long as they've said a TV is on it's way to you via DM, I'm sure you're fine. I got my confirmation on 20th November so hopefully mine will be here before 18th December!
[Nexus 4 General] chistery:
so the bumper still says in stock, but they aren't shipping. :confused:
[Nexus 4 General] Tiddy_:
I couldn't resist and went and bought it on contract this morning. Went to work, stayed for an hour, left to get it and came back an hour later. Haha

I even sent them the tweet for the TV and have been DM'ing them with details as requested. Woop woop.

The phone is amazing, a big step up from my Huawei G300 lol, time to sell that to my father :)

Hope you all get you phone soon!!

I'm more interested in the Nexus 4 than the O2 TV offer - Wouldn't it be better if the offer was discussed here...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2014935

Its the Nexus 4 forum not an O2 TV forum
[Nexus 4 General] arj154:
so, anyone think that google might be offering some more shiny nexus 4 devices on Monday 3rd? It seems like it might be likely as they said 3 weeks until they ship for some people who have there status as backordered.
[Nexus 4 General] CodeMonkey:
Not actually in stock according to customer services today - the website should show "shipping soon". Bumper stock due in next 2 weeks, possibly end of this week.

It's taken me 10 days and an hour on the phone to get that much...:banghead:
[Nexus 4 General] roughavoc:
I remember the days of page 150 where we were sharing stories of how we got the phone and giving people like me hope that it will get shipped out soon. Now its just O2 stuff ):
[Nexus 4 General] stuart0001:
Unfortunately that's because its the only place where you can get it for a reasonable price (taking into account the free TV) so not surprising its dominated discussion.
[Nexus 4 General] TonyHoyle:
Not sure I trust CSR's, but it would explain how they're in stock and not shipping at the same time.

An email from them explaining this might not have gone amiss. Or just not putting 'in stock' on their site in the first place..
[Nexus 4 General] chandlerweb:

Finally, got the email, so it'll go out this week. Hopefully tomorrow =).

Probably not though. This is Google after all.

lol got the shipping email from gp too. :)
[Nexus 4 General] roughavoc:
I GOT THE EMAIL TOO, MizuhoChan where do you live, when we get our N4 I want to give you a hug for the pain we have been through
[Nexus 4 General] zukuvybz:
Good idea, who wants to give me a hug im in uxbridge and hackney lool! this phone is amazing lightning fast, i love this swipe keyboard thing it works soooo welL!!! my iphone friends are seriously jealous!

[Nexus 4 General] Keithoms:

[Nexus 4 General] fluent1:
Got the email too. Looks like it's gone out to all the backorder people.
[Nexus 4 General] everett_psycho:
And Uxbridge is full of iPhone friends, well most of my friends from there all seem to have them, I think the key envy is this screen, the iPhone 5 just doesn't compare in that department, a girl at work just got one and it doesn't really seem different to her old 4 where's as the difference between my old 4 inch o2x and the nexus 4 is huge.

Glad to see there is finally some news on the play store front though, Google have handled it terribly, If it wasn't for the o2 TV deal I think most people here wouldn't have their phone until January
[Nexus 4 General] drpepe:
Hmmm, and so when will the phone come back onto the play store? :confused:

See you there in 8 hours time :D
[Nexus 4 General] znanev:

^^^^^ what this guy said

My Nexus 4 has been bumped to the top of my orders in Google Play also, no activity on my pending transactions though
[Nexus 4 General] TonyHoyle:
Technically it's another £5. In practice they don't really check beyond some user agent checks on the browser (so tethering something like an N7 isn't going to be noticed.. I doubt they're worried about something like that anyway).
