This is a great idea! Anyone interested in taking the plunge?
[Nexus 4 General] coukalamin:
So yh ive been lurking this thread for the past few days. I know it wont help much but i ordered mine at 17:05 and received delivery time of 3-5 days. contacted google and they said that my order looked healthy and that it should be delivered within the time frame. and Vahndroid84 i am from Rome too ;)
[Nexus 4 General] CrazyPeter:
No because clogging up the system with crap like this, only makes matters worse, not better. In the same way that using those stupid stock checker apps and websites makes it harder for everyone else to order.
[Nexus 4 General] furrypotato:
Well I've just sent a rather long email to Larry Page.

If you are going to complain, always aim at the CEO, it gets better results.

Mind you, I don't expect him to read it, but I got it off my chest :)

No point me sharing it as 50 identical emails would look a bit weird.
[Nexus 4 General] asteakpie:
My bad! I'll add my order to that one. Shouldn't that link be in the OP?
[Nexus 4 General] akhan47:
Finally got my bumper. Ordered on Nov 13th and I would highly recommend it. Stops the phone from sliding on flat surfaces, is very light, feels good and gives you better grip.

The phone looks better without it on imo but it's too delicate and risky for me. I'm clumsy and these shattered screen pics just scare me.
[Nexus 4 General] Josh98:
To add salt to to the wounds, I told my mate they were back on sale about an hour after they were, having ordered mine 5 mins after they went live, received his today.

Google, you are taking the piss now. His was 4-5 weeks estimate, mine was 1-2.
[Nexus 4 General] RiCh_vRS:
Releax guys, you will get your phone.

I don't understand why people are getting mad at Google for? Why are people calling and emailing Google about the orders from 4th Dec? :confused: What do you expect them to say or do? They have quoted you a time frame of when your order will ship so just be patient! Once that time period passes and you don't have the device then call/email them to complain.

If you are still waiting on your phone from your order on launch date then sure you have every reason to be mad a Google.

I placed my order for a 16GB on the 4th Dec. at 5:19 PM (Estimated ship time of 1-2 weeks) and it still shows as pending. Yes this is normal, once they ship it will change to "Completed" and they will take the payment from my card. So adding the two days for shipping then that is around the 20th/21st Dec at the latest that I should get my phone, however I think that I will have it by next Friday. ;)

Maybe it's because a few random people who ordered after us claim to have theirs shipped/delivered? Ok maybe they got lucky, but Google hasn't started shipping it out in the masses to those people with 5-6 wait times that we should all get mad about it. Google do seem to be shipping things out randomly like some 8GB's or 16GB to the 5-6 weekers etc, yes i know it's not really fair but they will have devices already allocated for all of the orders made on the 4th.

The 16GB that I ordered in the US on the 27th Nov. just got delivered to me yesterday (6th December) and that order was with a 2-3 weeks ship date. Thumbs up to Google for shipping it earlier (1 week and 2 days from order date). :good: Yes it felt like for ever, but I was patient about it :)

Everyone just needs to relax, you will get your your phone(s).

From reading about the previous orders I think that there should be a bunch of shipped emails going out tonight/early tomorrow for some folk ;)
[Nexus 4 General] :
We have a queuing culture in the UK.

You want something, you join the queue and its a simple and fair solution.

People wouldn't be getting mad and ringing/emailing them if they send them out in the correct order. Google are queue jumping customers for no reason and its pissing off a large portion of there customers. It's especially bad for people like me who experienced the same thing when the N7's launched.

There must be a communication issue between Google and Computer2000.
[Nexus 4 General] Singh400:
Just sent an email inquiring about the status of my order. Hopefully I get a reply.

---------- Post added at 03:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:59 PM ----------

Absolutely, spot on. I asked what policy they are operating their order system under. As most, if not all companies operate under the service policy of "First-come, first-served".
[Nexus 4 General] Josh98:
Exactly, I'd have no problem right now waiting for 1-2 weeks but as others are getting theirs who ordered after it's just not right (especially someone I told they were in stock myself..)

nsdayte the

I totally agree with you, it should be first come first serve and Google should not be shipping out devices to people who ordered theirs after us.

However it doesn't seem as If they have shipped out a ton of devices out though, it looks like only a handful of them got shipped. We are still within the shipping estimates that we have been given by Google and just need to wait.
[Nexus 4 General] furrypotato:
Yep, and some 25000 children die each day from hunger and preventable diseases.

Or I could list any other number of human tragedies.

Pointless post.
[Nexus 4 General] Vahndroid84:
Seeing the spreadsheet..

...actually about 4-5 16gb has delivered...and all of them was a 4-5 weekers

the only 1-2 weeker i heard that was delivered...is from the friend of the swedish guy
[Nexus 4 General] Felisek:
It seems that I'm one of the very few lucky people who got the phone almost immediately after ordering it on the 4th December. The e-mail told me to expect 4-5 weeks delivery, so I was prepared to wait until new year, but on the 5th I got an e-mail "shipped" and the phone arrived on the 6th. I'm amazed...
[Nexus 4 General] ilukecurtis:
Ah I see haha, considering tethering is banned (until the new £10 goodybag that is) they seem to have trouble enforcing it, i've seen people do it all the time too!
[Nexus 4 General] Michealtbh:
PSA to all giffgaff users in this thread: remember to change your recurring goodybag to the new £12 one of you want to keep your unlimited data
[Nexus 4 General] Notorious544d:
Surprised nobody has brought up Topcashback yet. Three are offering £51.51 cashback for their sim only tariffs.
[Nexus 4 General] zekone:
For anyone who goes abroad a fair bit, check out Vodafone's offerings. I regularly do work in Europe, and for £3/day you can take your complete UK package abroad, i.e. you pay nothing extra for using your inclusive minutes, texts, and data abroad. While they don't offer the cheapest possible deal, if you roam abroad, you'd save loads.

200 minutes

5000 texts

500MB data (though I'm already on Vodafone and will try to negotiate getting 1GB).

£10.50/month on 12-month contract

£3/day while roaming in Europe
[Nexus 4 General] Rusty!:
No they don't. They use EE (T-Mobile originally).

I've set my data limit at 1GB to see how I fair for the first month.
[Nexus 4 General] TeRRa4:
From what I can tell, yes.. 3/Three is a 3G-only network. http://www.three.co.uk/Discover/Built_for_internetting

However, I'm okay with this. Hopefully the battery life on my phone will be okay and last me a day or so, which is fine because I charge it every night. The speeds on this network are, in fact, the fastest non-LTE speeds you can get, as far as I'm aware. DC-HSDPA is incredibly quick in comparison to HSPA+, that's for sure.

Thanks for all your information on phone contracts. I don't want to add more because I don't want to make the initial post any more cluttered than it already is. :P

I might look into giffgaff in April if I can't get 3/Three to drop their prices for me - I've been a loyal customer for the past 2-3 years and they know this. I managed to get £5 off my contract last time, so I might be able to do it again this time. :D
[Nexus 4 General] Rusty!:
Three is 3G only, however they do allow roaming onto EE in 2G only areas.
[Nexus 4 General] jordanprudent:
My 2 cents :

Was with Vodafone for 3 years after early terminating my contract due to ridiculous charges out of bundle charges and dreadful customer service, recently made a change over to GiffGaff PAYG , working very well at the moment. Only place with poorer signal is unfortunately were I work other than that excellent. I would advise on going giffgaff for heavy data use (runs from O2).

I would steer well clear from 3 mobile, not very good signal due to being a 3g only network and all call centre's other than sales are off-shore. Not discriminating but sometimes this can be aggravating.

EE are pretty good in terms of signal and 3g quality. Customer service is decent as well. I wrote a post ages ago on the comparison of UK networks and the benefits of each one in comparison to the others as I used to work in the industry.

I would rank Vodafone's signal the best, it really is second to none however ludacris charges and abysmal customer service ruined the whole experience, enjoying giffgaff at the present time. Good quality signal very cheap deals and PAYG so accumilating extra charge wont happen. Every penny helps after all,

J
[Nexus 4 General] TeRRa4:
Thank you to everyone giving their experiences with previous networks, I'm sure everyone and anyone who comes in here and reads your posts appreciates the awfully helpful feedback, I know I do.

That being said, please try to avoid slander on networks if you haven't had any direct experience with them rather than what you have heard from previous customers. For example, I have had no negative experiences with Three at all and I've been with them for years. I know people that have heard from friends of friends that Three are terrible. Not a fair judgement if you ask me. :P

I'm not saying any of you are lying, by any means! I don't know which networks you've been involved with, I'm just saying it's not exactly fair. :) Not trying to start a flame war, by any means! Just stating that. :D

Once again, thank you to everyone for your very helpful feedback! I'm sure people appreciate this - I certainly do. It's nice to hear the other deals that are out there - giffgaff is certainly tempting to me!
[Nexus 4 General] everett_psycho:
I was with three for years and never had an issue with them or their service, well until we moved to a blackspot. But they were fine and offered me the world to stay but I wasn't going to pay for a contract I couldn't use. It sounds bad but we live in an old house with thick walls and a lead roof so only the strongest signals get through, a pain as it means we can only get coverage from o2 or Vodafone based networks. If you are in any doubt about coverage order a free payg sim and test it out.

Three seem to have a bad reputation but I never had any issues , I used to get reception almost everywhere even in the middle of nowhere in Norfolk. When the n4 arrives I'll be revisiting three though, as long as it gets some signal at home I would be happy as I can use WiFi, it would be useful for me if they offered a way to boost signal at home through your broadband.

I'm on tesco at the moment, other than the o2 outage its fine. O pay my £10 for my 1 month term and it has ample texts and minutes with "unlimited" internet (fair usage stuff as it was when I got it). If I leave for three I may get myself a 1 month rolling three contract to test and see if can get a good retention deal.
[Nexus 4 General] TeRRa4:
That sounds like a good plan. It's nice to hear that someone else hasn't had problems with Three. None of my family members have either, and they're pretty much all on Three (Mum, mum's boyfriend, brother, step-mum, sister) which is nice. The only issue, for us, is signal indoors, but, much like yourself, we live in old houses with thick walls. :P Outside, however, we get perfect signal. :D

Yeah, rolling contract would be a good idea as a tester and as a returning customer you should be able to get a good deal with them. :D
[Nexus 4 General] Infortheskrill:
I'm currently with Three on the One Plan (All-you-can-eat data, 2000 minutes, 5000 texts) with a Samsung Galaxy S II.

I'm going to buy the Nexus 4 when it comes out, and I was wondering if anybody knew that everything here would be compatible? This is after I cut the simcard into micro-sim size of course.
[Nexus 4 General] Michealtbh:
Should be fine, just put your sim in and it should work perfectly
[Nexus 4 General] jimbob_me:
I have a Tesco 30 day rolling sim only contract. Had it since Jan 2011 now. 600 Minutes, Unlimited data and unlimited texts for £10 a month. I plan on buying the 16gb nexus 4 on release. I typically have my phones for about 18 months.

Costs:

16gb Nexus = £279

18 months @£10p/m = £180

Total = £459

Much cheaper option than having a £35 a month 18 month contract.

Also important to remember that Tesco use O2's signal. So the coverage is pretty widespread!
[Nexus 4 General] undercover:
Another sim only. Virgin mobile, if you are Virgin customer, they give you great deals. Will try to look up some info.
[Nexus 4 General] kaiowas82:
It's absolutely fine, i'm on the one plan too, and i used the microsim with an iphone4s, htc one x and galaxy s3....sadly it's working in my old wildfire s too, as it's what i'm using now waiting for the nexus.... :D

Here, a few plans. I also heard people call customer service and get that £12 for £8. Worth looking into i think.
[Nexus 4 General] everett_psycho:
To be fair my original three contract was obscene value, dialphone cold called me when i was looking for a contract anyway, it was a rubbish contract that was quite expensive but through the cash back i actually ended up paying nothing for 2 years then got the contract slashed in price at renewal. We are near london and within the m25 so signal elsewhere isn't an issue, it's just the house that blocks anything from three or EE. I have seen people with contracts on three for around £3 a month after they've been offered a couple of retention discounts.
[Nexus 4 General] TeRRa4:
They used to be really unfairly priced. That's back when I was with T-Mobile. Now, however, I find their prices incredibly reasonable.

£3 a month?! That's insane! I'm looking forward to renewing in April now. :D I wonder what kind of discount I'll get with them. This is my second renewal so hopefully I'll be able to get something really decent from them. ;D
[Nexus 4 General] oscillik:
Please note that Tesco Mobile does not support tethering, nor does Tesco Mobile support call divert.

[Nexus 4 General] chapperz:
Just received this message.... maybe it really is sold out?
[Nexus 4 General] C22d:
Yeah the 'Order' button is definitely reappearing occasionally...although every time I click it I get the 'No items in your shopping basket' page.
[Nexus 4 General] Higgsy:
I think it does that if they turn it off before your have confimred the order - when I ordered I had one in my basket - they then changed it to coming soon and it disappeared from my basket
[Nexus 4 General] dai_griff:
I got through to completing the transaction on the 8GB then got a error message.

However I checked with HSBC and they took the money, I now have a email confirming the order. However due to all that I missed out on the 32GB Nexus 10 I wanted.. :( I will hold out for that.
[Nexus 4 General] NeostarNeko:
Well that's bloody annoying, I want this phone damn it
[Nexus 4 General] Blocoholi:
i just had again a 16gb nexus in my cart. but I couldn't checkout due an error :(
[Nexus 4 General] akhan47:
Yes it is out of stock, but they reappear now and then because many people ordered more than 1 by mistake. As they cancel, the 'add to cart' reappears.

On another note, I just spoke to o2 and they are selling the Nexus 4 sim-free. £399.99 for the 8gb. :rolleyes:
[Nexus 4 General] nikzDHD:
Bah just checked my Google wallet and it seems I've got an 8GB pending doh! Not the one I wanted!

But it'll give me a chance to test it out and 15 days return policy. That will help make up my mind providing nothing else gets messed with the order.
[Nexus 4 General] Audioboxer:
LOL

That pretty much destroys anyone's chance of getting it today/tomorrow in retail on PAYG for similar prices to Play Store.
[Nexus 4 General] kaiowas82:
Considering the 16gb been up for 20mins, and the server was slow as ****, how many they sold? 100, 200?? mah....i really don't understand whats the point to keep the stock so low for an entire country...
[Nexus 4 General] fataltrain:
well may as ell jump on the bandwagon and ask if anyone is selling an extra N4 either one send me a PM [=
[Nexus 4 General] Michealtbh:
Wow, that sold out fast! Either Google didn't have much stock or they were all bought up by third party retailers.

I bought a bumper to try out my prepaid MasterCard, worked fine. Now to wait on the next batch.
[Nexus 4 General] ammurad:

[Nexus 4 General] jvmaniac:

[Nexus 4 General] Daidodactyl:
Honestly, I really don't think we have much reason to complain. If you're still within the estimated time bracket, they said you would get it within that time frame. Not that you absolutely had to get it before later orders. As long as they have enough phones, we should be fine.

After the estimated shipping time, then you can go and shout at clueless CSR's. Until then you're just diverting resources away from the people who actually need help.
[Nexus 4 General] Vahndroid84:
I'm not really that angry...but i can understand why someone it's getting tired. The reason is that the priority of the orders should be respected.

if you have phones in stock you should have to send mine before another one who placed his order the day after me. No matter if they respect the timeframe. You should manage orders in the correct way. Every seller in the world...does business in this way

Could u guys update me on the situation. Has anyone frm the 3-5 days and 1-2weeks received any shipping confirmation email today?
[Nexus 4 General] Vahndroid84:
no :(
[Nexus 4 General] jamesj999:
There was talk of one guy getting his from the 1-2 week group, but nobody else has reported the same. Also nobody else from 3-5 days or 1-2 weeks have reported any shipping confirmation at all (including myself) :(

right now??? something is moving???? :fingers-crossed:

edit: i saw after a bit...that you ordered it the 5th.....ahahahhahah why google why???? xD

However...if the guy from reddit that spoke with csr was right...we should receive our shipping email today...
[Nexus 4 General] dpmcalli:
Refreshes Inbox....nothing yet. :crying:
[Nexus 4 General] jamesj999:
So basically, after 36 hours of constant complaints that this is happening, they're still shipping them in reverse order?!?!

Fair enough, everybody makes mistakes, but how can nobody have noticed this if thousands (assumedly) have reported to them that this is happening?
[Nexus 4 General] Nathtech:
I have good fealing for tonight!! Lets hope google starts pumping out those dispatch emails!! Fair enough, its unfair that people are getting there N4s so quickly from ordering late but its happened already and nothing is going to stop that from happening. Just look on the positive side, every phone call has said that you will get it in despatch estimate! :D Anyway i have a good fealing for tonight!

Cmon Google bring us the goods!!

[Nexus 4 General] jiberjaber:
Mine arrived today, quite late on in the day (about 16:00). I ordered at Dec 4, 2012 6:52:52 PM GMT, spent the last hour unlocking, rooting and cutting down my SIM.

Hope you guys get yours soon, I was expeting to get mine after Xmas given the lead time advised. I've updated the speadsheet accordingly.
[Nexus 4 General] barlow1123:
Yep. got it about 10 minutes ago, really wasn't expecting this before Christmas, hopefully a lot more will be sent out tonight.

Just updated the spreadsheet as well.

EDIT: my bad, it was actually the 4th, as soon as they came back online.
[Nexus 4 General] ant_thomas:
Given the email says 3-5 days we have till Tuesday to still be within that. Shipping emails maybe Monday night?

We know that the order system has screwed up again and it's very annoying. But as long as they get them to us by Tuesday we should be happy. They will have stayed within their agreed timeframe (even if we are annoyed about later orders arriving earlier).
[Nexus 4 General] jvmaniac:
wait.. so u ordered the 8gb on the 4th at 5:08pm, and have got the shipping email? HOPE!
[Nexus 4 General] furrypotato:
Can you clarify this- what was your order timestamp and was it 8 or 16gb ?
[Nexus 4 General] coukalamin:
Yh im pretty much hopeless but i expect shipping on Monday even though shipments today would be nice :)
[Nexus 4 General] Vahndroid84:
HOPE!
[Nexus 4 General] barlow1123:
Yep, it was the 8Gb, ordered on the 4th at 17:08:31
[Nexus 4 General] furrypotato:
Damn. 8gb :(
[Nexus 4 General] jamesj999:
