That's more bull**** from O2 mate, just phoned my local store and they do offer the 13.50 per month for 179.99 upfront. Going to go down there now!
[Nexus 4 General] stejc:
What's the length and what do you get with this contract?
[Nexus 4 General] DarkShadowAy:
It's 24 months.
[Nexus 4 General] MrKaon:
I am so angry on google, where the hell is stock:crying:
[Nexus 4 General] jaybeerex:
Looks like theres still a few pushing o2 for a response to the competition using payg phones, they seem to have gone from replying to just blanket ignoring now!, phones still boxed and sealed so i'll take a trip back to the o2 store tomorrow to return it.
[Nexus 4 General] fleonard:
If the 3 weeks that they said in the back order mail start from the 13th, we have to wait December...
[Nexus 4 General] Korv:
Yeah I'm one of them. I actually unboxed it and I've been playing with it quite a lot. I love it. But will return it still within 7 days as I can just wipe it and put everything back together.

That should be OK.. right? Right?!

PS I really want to keep it
[Nexus 4 General] wolfboy1984:
CARPHONE WAREHOUSE MANAGER JUST CALLED ME.

£389.99 SIM FREE IN STORE.

ITS ON THE CW SYSTEM NOW.

Regards,
[Nexus 4 General] jaybeerex:
Not sure, i left mine sealed in the box so there was no way they could dispute it.
[Nexus 4 General] alchemistkevin:
I took the que & called them.

Usual reply:

- they're aiming to despatch it in 3 weeks.

- can't promise a delivery date

- are not prioritizing regions (summarized as random shipments)
[Nexus 4 General] everett_psycho:
I think I'll take the punt on the o2 contract later today, my o2x is doing my head in. I'll wait and see how the TV offer goes today and if its still going at about 4 I'll order it, I won't get it any earlier ordering now so I'm happy to hang on until after lunch. I know once i get it I'll end up keeping it. I will let the co tract run though and try and rag the crap out of the priority tickets and offers they have
[Nexus 4 General] MattSkeet:
thats me as well. if Im not gonna get answer till end of the day its going back

on the other note. o2 is having problems with network reception (4-5 time in past few months now) no wonder theyre trying to push you in to a contract with deals like that
[Nexus 4 General] iWannaBeAdored:
Sent a copy of my receipt to O2. I told them I was buying it on pay monthly this morning so they followed me before I bought it. Sent them my receipt via DM as well so hopefully I hear back soon (with good news)!

The guy in the store opened the box and put in the SIM card. The phone is GORGEOUS. Sucks that Google screwed up with the whole launch leaving loads of people without it. B*stards!
[Nexus 4 General] alchemistkevin:
O2

Does anyone what the status with the TV's is?

How does the O2 deal work?

If it's a win-win - I'll get a new contract online for the TV & the phone and chuck the SIM in the bin.
[Nexus 4 General] DarkShadowAy:
I'm personally pulling out as it's risky and too much effort. Let us know how it goes buddy :thumbup:
[Nexus 4 General] mrallen81:
Right just got off the phone with the play store, an issue has been raised with my nexus, it's been put on a rush order, and SHOULD receive a ticket to let me know that DHL has my device, then I asked I thought TNT was shipping them and he said yeah that's what I mean :what:

Let's see what happens a
[Nexus 4 General] @home:
I rang Google last night 6:10PM asked about my bumper ordered on 17th Nov - Was told it's all going ahead should hear from TNT today with an email. They told me they had them in stock....

So far heard nothing....
[Nexus 4 General] mrallen81:
Just had a look the US are getting there's today
[Nexus 4 General] jparnell:
I reckon PAYG customers will be OK if they got their tweet in before they changed terms yesterday. There's a chap on twitter that said to o2 he is on payg and got his tweet in but didn't get a reply and they've said to him they'll send him a DM.
[Nexus 4 General] fabis_htc:
Just posted on twitter (i cant get a screen sorry)

james bruton ‏@jamesbruton4

@O2 @mintymurray Hiya I presume that those who have already been told they will get TV via PAYG are still entitled?

3m O2 in the UK ‏@O2

@jamesbruton4 Hi James, if we've said you've won then you've won :)
[Nexus 4 General] mitor:
LOL!

That was me!

Just logged in for the first time in ages to post that.

Just to clarify I got my DM and PAYG purchase in about two hours before they changed the rules to say contract only. Thanks to all the XDA'ers who suggested this, looks like we who got in early are all getting one!
[Nexus 4 General] jaybeerex:
What bothers me the most is a lot of people who tweeted yesterday before they changed the T&C's are just being ignored by the twitter feed. if they responded that'd be fine. it's like they've taken lessons from the google playbook of communication!
[Nexus 4 General] Korv:
What are you searching into twitter? I'm searching @O2 #lifeisgood and I can only see a few people who have tweeted, me including.
[Nexus 4 General] wolfboy1984:
WooHoo! :D
[Nexus 4 General] mitor:
Hi

I've just screen grabbed my conversation with o2 and uploaded to ftp

scattershot dot co dot uk dot 02 dot jpg

(sorry. I can't post links as I only ever lurk on here despite being around for years!)

Hopefully should work. I would guess that you're still in with a chance if you go the contract route but it looks like nobody going PAYG will get a TV from this point on.
[Nexus 4 General] iWannaBeAdored:
They asked for details (name, O2 number, IMEI, delivery address), I supplied then they replied with the standard "Thanks! Your television will be with you within 28 days as long as you don't return the phone :)".

Time to wait! I do reckon that is enough for me to play with my phone now...
[Nexus 4 General] TonyLeMesmer:
The hashtag is #lifesgood although o2 seem to be using both.
[Nexus 4 General] mitor:
Yeah, I tried #lifesgood and #lifeisgood. It isn't clear which they responded to but they were pretty quick about it. I'd say tweet a couple of times to be on the safe side.
[Nexus 4 General] Deeco7:
Limbo 3 leveling up to 4. :(
[Nexus 4 General] italia0101:
Ah sweet , great news for people with the confirmation tweet then!!
[Nexus 4 General] jaybeerex:
At this point after the delay from google for the phone, and now o2 backtracking on the TV deal so it looks like that one is getting returned, instead of spending time in limbo, i may just go and buy something else, the nexus is cursed i tell ye! CURSED!!!!!
[Nexus 4 General] kaiowas82:
And the kaiowas82 there is me....lol

I was waiting for this answer!

Can you link that post on twitter? I can't find it
[Nexus 4 General] LawAce:
Right, been to o2 and gone for the contract. I've now tweeted a photo to o2 with #lifesgood... here's hoping. Also got the o2 open discount which is the equivalent to quidco I think.

Now the wait begins.... pleeeeaaaase o2!
[Nexus 4 General] mrallen81:
Im getting fed up of seeing this now
[Nexus 4 General] jaybeerex:
strange how a lot of the north american customers saw their dates updated and changed around but UK has remained the same.
[Nexus 4 General] :
It's better than this...
[Nexus 4 General] iWannaBeAdored:
Has anyone who bought the Nexus 4 from O2 on 13th/around that date received a TV yet?

Google are pulling an Apple. When I bought the 1st gen iPad they delayed the UK launch due to US demand. :(
[Nexus 4 General] wolfboy1984:
They won't send TVs out within refund period you nutter. 1-2 weeks I reckon.
[Nexus 4 General] DarkShadowAy:
How do you get the open discount?
[Nexus 4 General] Rusty!:
That's what mine says, and my phone arrived on Thursday. Go figure.
[Nexus 4 General] iWannaBeAdored:
As I said, I expect 1-2 weeks delivery.
[Nexus 4 General] DHTC:
Just got mine too from o2, with open discount of £50 as my brother works for the nhs. Works out the same for me price wise if i got it from google play so pretty happy.

I'll be having a shot at tweetimg for a tv when i get back.
[Nexus 4 General] DarkShadowAy:
Have you asked them?

My local O2 has stock, tempted..
[Nexus 4 General] Korv:
They just said to me on my photo:

O2 in the UK ‏@O2

@Alic9 Hi Alistair, did you get it on Pay Monthly or Pay & Go? Can we see that part of the receipt please?

I'm the only one who seems to of got that message. Well this sucks.
[Nexus 4 General] rickykemp:
I've got a feeling that they have given the whole '3 weeks' thing because it may well be 3 weeks. If they have run out of stock, they will probably have to literally ship them in to either London Thamesport or Felixstowe all the way from the factory in China that LG is using.

Having previously worked in international shipping, the transit times from China to the UK is approximately 30-40 days.

In all likelihood, they probably had a shipment on the way to western Europe that departed around the 1st of the month, and will stop off at all the major EU ports like Rotterdam and the German ports, with UK on the last stop of the leg. When it gets here, they then have to get them out to the delivery agents, which if its Thamesport is right next door in Dartford, or Felixstowe- theres a depot in Chelmsford.

They may decide that they are going to air haul it from China, but that may be prohibitively expensive considering the fuel costs and surcharges right now with Air haul.
[Nexus 4 General] mrallen81:
Have you been charged for it?
[Nexus 4 General] MattSkeet:
I doubt o2 will give me free tv now. Theyre sticking with Pay Monthly now. This is flippin unfair. Imagine rules being change in the middle of the football game or any other bigger competition
[Nexus 4 General] jaybeerex:
yeah but in the middle of those replies saying its pay monthly, they reply to one that you can see on the image is payg, saying they will DM for details? WTF?
[Nexus 4 General] Korv:
Pah what do I say? Shall I say it's on pay monthly and see what happens? Nah..

;( This seems pretty unfair..
[Nexus 4 General] LawAce:
The terms say first come first served and I don't think they've given out 250 TVs yet??

They seem to have gone off the radar!
[Nexus 4 General] DarkShadowAy:
Did your brother go in with you? My sister works for nhs wondering if I can just take her code.

I've now got two charges on my Credit Card. One is from 13/11 for £288.99 from "GOOGLE *Google Play" which reappeared yesterday, and there's a new one today at 20/11 12:45 for £288.99, this time from "GOOGLE *Google Storage".

What's going on? And is this a sign that there's a phone on the way...?
[Nexus 4 General] antonusklesk:
Nice, when did you tweet the picture?
[Nexus 4 General] THFourteen:
I'm out, bought a SGS3 this morning on ebay for £300 in "mint condition", should be here tomorrow.

It was a real toss up between the two phones for me, and in the end, all the stories about the battery life, missing sd card storage, missing apt-x, fragile back not to mention no sign of my order shipping any time soon worried me too much so i bailed.

I think i will be OK without the very latest version of android and the faster CPU for a year or so. Fingers crossed.
[Nexus 4 General] Shaizer:
I ordered last night and my quidco still hasn't tracked...has yours tracked and how long did it take?
[Nexus 4 General] LawAce:
54 minutes ago.
[Nexus 4 General] antonusklesk:
Damn, I did it last night and haven't heard anything....guess they don't like me.
[Nexus 4 General] iWannaBeAdored:
I went into the store this morning to buy it instead sorry!
[Nexus 4 General] savo83:
Anyone heard anything? The sticky thread is infested with moronic yanks US Ranger style.
[Nexus 4 General] Korv:
Okay since O2 now have told me that I'm not eligible since I bought it PAYG. Reckon I could go into the store and effectively return it but then re-buy it with a contract? The £13.50 - £3 data one so £10.50 a month?

Thus it's £252 for 24 months + £179.99 upfront = £431.99

Then a TV.
[Nexus 4 General] DarkShadowAy:
PAYG or monthly?

---------- Post added at 01:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:16 PM ----------

Seems like the wisest thing buddy and only way to guarantee it!
[Nexus 4 General] savo83:
For what its worth, I got an email back last night with the whole 3 weeks excuse again. I think it will probably be next week before we get any news that's reliable..
[Nexus 4 General] iWannaBeAdored:
Pay monthly, £179.99 for the handset, £13.50 for 24 months. Phoned O2 to remove the £3 data (they can't remove it in store) no problems there.
[Nexus 4 General] mrallen81:
Just got this

Thank you for contacting us regarding your Nexus 4 order. Rest assured that Nexus 4 orders are being delivered based on the order in which they were received. Due to overwhelming demand we sold out of Nexus 4 extremely quickly. "Within 3 weeks" is the only guidance I can provide at this time. I’ll only know the scheduled delivery date when you receive an email notification that your order has shipped. You may see an authorization on your bank statement, but that is not an actual charge. You will not be charged until your order ships. We will issue a refund separately in the amount of the shipping charge to your original form of payment shortly after your original order is charged and shipped.

Thanks,

Chris

Nope, I'm good.

It may be on CPW's site, but it's not on Three.co.uk yet.

Well sod it I've ordered a contract one and hope I get a tv. The next job is to get my dad to photograph it when it arrives so I can tweet them
[Nexus 4 General] bee55:
Well, guess why...Google held back their stock so that carriers can still make some money off the N4. I guess this was a way of settling the matter of Google 'screwing up' the pricing.
[Nexus 4 General] DHTC:
Just for other people who are tempted with o2 they have discounts for quite a few jobs, john lewis, argos, mcdonalds, kfc even and if you know anyone let them know and you can get a discount upto £100. Worth to ask instore.
[Nexus 4 General] MattSkeet:
i dont think so to be honest

o2 had exclusivity on iPhone and few other phones, not mentioning other carriers doing same stuff. but if N4 will be available on 13 frome everywhere else I dont mind waiting.

I will never go with o2 again, their prices are just stupid expensive, c'mon 1GB of data for £36/month. I use at least 3GB a month just by using my phone in a normal (for me) way. And I dont use facebook or tweeter that ofter

---------- Post added at 04:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:09 PM ----------

what do you mean?
[Nexus 4 General] Korv:
Nevermind.
[Nexus 4 General] DHTC:
He asked me if i knew anyone who worked at john lewis at first and unfortunately i did not, if i did i could get £100 off. He showed me a.list of other jobs eligible, cant remember what jobs but as my brother works for the nhs it only fell into the £50 off. Bit annoying as im sure if you know someone at kfc they could get you a £100 off!!

And i just got a free tv!! Awesome.
[Nexus 4 General] italia0101:
You on contract on png?

did they ask to see
[Nexus 4 General] DHTC:
Contract, but in my case it worked out cheaper than buying it from the playstore. I noticed a few people uploading pics after me on payasugo and being declined the tv.

But yeah my advice is to go to an o2 store an ask about open discount and what jobs can get you a discount.
[Nexus 4 General] MattSkeet:
may I ask how did you do it and what discounts did you get ??
[Nexus 4 General] TeddyBeers:
This code will give U £125 off on 02 contract.

Just go to shop and show this code

JLW44835 at your local O2 retail store or call 08005884212 New Customers / 08000321402 Upgrading O2 customers to redeem and get a great deal.

If they ask any question tell that your friend working for Waitrose.

Code should work for 5 persons
[Nexus 4 General] Mogster:
Right, free TV get! :victory:

I was sent a "Pay Monthly Only" response, but I moaned a bit in reply seeing as the T&C's were literally changed while I was out buying the phone. They just replied to say they'd send me a TV too "on this occasion".
[Nexus 4 General] Korv:
How'd you manage that!? O2 won't respond to me anymore. Who are you speaking with?
[Nexus 4 General] WhiteHartMart:
Thought I'd try to get a TV based on my Nexus 4 online contract phone which arrived today - sadly its only for phones purchased in store too - getting fussy on their T&Cs now :silly:
[Nexus 4 General] MattSkeet:
:) this is what i got :) Opening my N4 :)
[Nexus 4 General] [chris b]:
Can the data bolt on from O2 definitely be cancelled? I've not interest in an O2 contract but being able to cancel that bolt on would be the difference between me buying the phone from there and not buying it.
[Nexus 4 General] Korv:
Yes, I was going to do it online but if a live chat offer comes up - Take it. They can cancel it for you while you order (Or once you've ordered).
[Nexus 4 General] [chris b]:
Cheers. My mate works for one of the open partner companies so with the £100 off there isn't much difference between play store and O2 and if I manage to snag a free TV then it's a bonus.
[Nexus 4 General] DHTC:
Sure, if i bought it from play store I worked out that I would be paying around 20 a month.

I then worked out how much it would be buying it from o2. The discount I got was 50. And it worked out around 19/20 a month. Thats paying the o2 contract and my t mobile. But ive just renewed my t mobile and bumped down my cost from 10.70 to 5.58 which still gets me 300 mins, umlimited txts and 3gb internet.

As for the data bolt on, you cant remove the first month but call up once you bought the phone and cancel it so you won't be paying it the month after.
[Nexus 4 General] Sport666:
What a stupid tread, this has become, why don't you make a tread for that store O2. I thought is what about Google play store and delivery and so. Every time I log ind, i must read 3 ore 4 pages about this. Please make a thread for O2. Thx

GN
[Nexus 4 General] everett_psycho:
Really? I just ordered one hoping I'd get the TV, surely a phone with a contract is a phone with a contract
[Nexus 4 General] [chris b]:
[Official] UK thread -

Contracts

, news, information, etc

Seems very relevant to me. There's a thread for the play store up top. Happy reading.
[Nexus 4 General] Korv:
Understandable, but read the thread name.

If the google play orders were updated then everyone would be going crazy and you'd know about it.
[Nexus 4 General] jaybeerex:
i got a free tv on payg as well, they made an exception 'on this occasion' :D winning! 16gb nexus, free tv and i can make my first call on it to google to cancel my order!
[Nexus 4 General] Korv:
Whaaat! How did you? They just want a close up on my receipt! What did you say exactly? :(
[Nexus 4 General] steviewevie:
Ooh, interesting. I work for the NHS, but when I looked into this before I couldn't see how to get any discount for O2. Do you know what the procedure is ?

Edit - after reading some more replies, I just need to ask in-store, is that right ? But for the NHS the discount is 50 ?
[Nexus 4 General] nintendolinky:
I spoke to O2 about my payandgo phone and they said they would still honor me my free TV.
[Nexus 4 General] TeddyBeers:
I've just added discount code that will give £125 off of any contract over £25/month.

It's on previous page
[Nexus 4 General] DHTC:
That is correct, found it ridiculous people at kfc, argos etc get a 100 off. You just need to go onto o2open.co.uk and sign in there to get your code. Show them instore and you fill in a form which credits you 50 into your o2 account.
[Nexus 4 General] LawAce:
There is no other news or updates so what difference does it make?
[Nexus 4 General] jaybeerex:
they just wanted a close up of my receipt, i sent it via DM and there you go, sorted :)
[Nexus 4 General] Pkshields:
I think this is still the thread for the O2 TV offer, so:

I got a tweet asking for my info today, after I gave it to them they asked was I PAYG or contract. I said PAYG but the guy yesterday said I was eligible. I just got a reply, a few hours later, saying "Thanks, we'll be in touch!". I asked them does that mean I was successful and they replied with:

So yay? I dunno if mentioning the guy yesterday had any effect, but it looks like I'm getting one. Or their throwing an old 15" TV at me :laugh:
[Nexus 4 General] Korv:
They're asking the same from me. I'm at work and they wanted the date/time + IMEI from the receipt. I don't think I'll get it because it was at around 5:15pm I got the phone. I told them I was heading to O2 while the T&C's were going up.

Not sure what to do! Either cycle home, take a picture and send to O2 and try my luck - Or go to O2 and buy one on contract and return the other tomorrow!

After Pkshields' reply - I'll cycle home.
[Nexus 4 General] Kas206:
This is the second time I have walked to CPW and turned back half way lol

I can't seem to make my mind up on paying £389.99 or wait 2 weeks and get through the play store. :banghead:

Even then I'm not guaranteed a phone after what happened the last time.
[Nexus 4 General] Michealtbh:
All retailers will be allowed to sell them from the 13th. I would wait
