Don't cancel it. Just say you never saw it in their T&C and the sole reason you got a £290 was to get the TV.
[Nexus 4 General] ste1164:
I know its a tablet and it isnt as popular but the nexus 10 is back in stock so hopefully (maybe) the n4 will be soon :)
[Nexus 4 General] daveyjam:
ndnels troches

The N10 launched on the 13th, right? If Google can get more back in stock of the N10 within 8 days, hopefully the N4 won't be much longer.

Also, Google have now put a preorder system in place for the N10, a step in the right direction I guess.
[Nexus 4 General] ste1164:
Yea kinda like apple did/is doing for the 5. Hoping the n4 is maybe on friday or sometime soon. It changed at mightnight so it might for the N4
[Nexus 4 General] MizuhoChan:
Which part of the order is pending for you guys? The order on the play store, or the order on the google wallet?
[Nexus 4 General] snowdej:
Hi

Play store

Wallet unchanged

Jools
[Nexus 4 General] Deeco7:
Play Store has updated to 'pending'. Wallet has always been 'pending'.
[Nexus 4 General] shaneZ95:
Yeah hopefully, although on the nexus 10 page you can add to cart but it says ships in 2-3 weeks so they're still rekindling stock.
[Nexus 4 General] daveyjam:
One can hope! My iPhone 4 is quite broken, usuable but the home button is almost gone and the lock button has completely gone; the sooner I can get my hands on an N4 via the Play store, the better!

Just today I saw a guy using an N4, I hadn't actually seen one in the flesh and it made me want one even more.

[Nexus 4 General] ste1164:
I havent seen one either :o, but I know how you feel with the iPhone 4 a friend did that to him recently and it looked unusable.
[Nexus 4 General] MizuhoChan:
Hmm, mine is still complete, which it has been since the 13th... and my money is still missing...
[Nexus 4 General] ste1164:
Kinda hope this isnt true :( although O2 exclusive deal will be off by then and other people will sell them.
[Nexus 4 General] daveyjam:
I was under the impression that, like in the US at the moment, people in the UK could also order and get it within 3-5 days. Re-reading the reddit post though it seems like the UK could only ever order for 2-3 weeks.

It's slightly promising that they could replenish the US stock so quickly.
[Nexus 4 General] Shaizer:
I hope they accept entries from online orders... it would be silly to decline them as it's the same thing, still from O2. Mine should arrive tomorrow pay monthly so they have no reason to decline me.
[Nexus 4 General] mustyrash:
well, in my opinion, samsung has more and bigger factories than lg (in terms of mobile technology). the nexus 10 is not as popular as the nexus 4, so samsung not only have the ability to produce more tablets faster, but less pressure to meet the demand. i think 3 weeks is just google covering their bums again. i ordered 2, again, 1 for me and the other for my bro, we missed out the first time around because we hesitated and questioned if its really worth it and if we even need them. im still 50/50 to be fair!

on the nexus 4 issue, i think LG are tying their best to produce phones, their best is not good enough, but it is their best.

be glad that people in limbo are getting confirmations from google about their phones being shipped, it only means that the back ordered folks are next. unless google mess up, again!

this is just my opinion though

[Nexus 4 General] ghalalb:
Now available Sim Free at CPW, as expected £389.95

[Nexus 4 General] :
I really don't mind if I have to wait 3-4 weeks for the N4, I just want to order it

now

, then I can stop incessantly checking the play store and get on with my life!
[Nexus 4 General] DHTC:
Nope. They just filled in a form with whoever you know. Not sure if you put their address because my brother lives with me. They did not ask for any proof, just the open discount code. I would assume they might check but all I gave was a name basically. Hope that helps
[Nexus 4 General] wolfboy1984:
That's precisely why I paid £120 more from o2 last Thursday. I thought it was worth it just for that alone. I didn't regret buying from o2. The phone is so sexy!!

And then I got the TV too! So now I'm as happy as a pig in ****. :D

Regards,
[Nexus 4 General] iWannaBeAdored:
Ditto :D
[Nexus 4 General] italia0101:
Ye me too, this phone is awesome,
[Nexus 4 General] StNickZA:
I feel exactly the same, but for slightly different reasons. I am in South Africa and a friend is going to be bringing the phone over for me. She leaves 7th December, and I'm literally losing sleep over whether Google Play will get their new stock in time, let alone whether I'll be fast enough to order!

Now a few posts above this one, someone has mentioned that CPW has them in stock. £110 more is significant, but is it worth a good-night's sleep and the guarantee that I'll get my new phone? I think so!
[Nexus 4 General] bisoner:
It's the age old issue of balancing the pressure of the sales channel with selling the item direct - the phone is sold out but the likes of O2 and Carphonewarehouse seem to have stock. The stores are currently ripping the early adopters off until there is enough supply. Once the supply comes, the contract prices will be sensible (currently outrageous) and the retail prices will be in line with the Play store. I was contemplating getting an N4 but I refuse to be ripped off. At £390 I could get a Galaxy S3 from Amazon and the SD card and removable battery are two things I take for granted on my current S2. However, I still want a pure Google phone so will keep my Galaxy S2 for now and wait for the resupply.

I have to agree it would be nice to let Google let us pre-order (even if it is a 4-8 week wait) but again, the likes of O2 and the other retail rip-off merchants will probably kick up a fuss.
[Nexus 4 General] DarkShadowAy:
I've noticed something interestesting about O2 on twitter.

If you're new to it and and don't have any followers. They tend to ignore you.

All the newbies seems to be having the same issues!
[Nexus 4 General] StNickZA:
I wish I had your luxury of refusing to be ripped off. My hands are tied; the phone isn't available in my country, and I have a small window of opportunity to get a friend to bring it across for me. Looks like I HAVE to get ripped off if I want this phone (and I do!).

From what I've read, the O2 phones are not network-locked despite O2's statement to the contrary. Is it a pretty good bet that the CPW ones aren't locked either? Wow, that would be a disaster if my phone arrived locked to a UK network!
[Nexus 4 General] Mikk36:
Waiting until Google restocks and getting it for a fair price is not an option?
[Nexus 4 General] wazka2:
That could be why they ignore my questions.

Anyone fancy to follow me? @wazka2 :)
[Nexus 4 General] StNickZA:
I can wait about a week at most before it would be too late. My concern though is that even if Google Play get new stock in, there are 10,000 of you Britons that have a far better chance of getting your orders in before me ( I have to log in via VPN with a higher latency ). And given that batch #1 sold out in under an hour, there's no reason to think batch #2 will be any different. In fact, knowing what we know now about Google's stocks, I wouldn't be surprised if they fly out even quicker as people buy in bulk. Some chap in the US bought $33,000 worth of the things!

The logical thing to do is to wait a week before buying anywhere and then if Google Play is still sold-out by then, buy from CPW.. Is it a safe assumption that CPW's stocks will last that long? Hopefully there aren't too many hot-heads like me willing to pay £390 for a £280 phone.
[Nexus 4 General] ghalalb:
I checked at 3 CPW's close to me (Central London) and 2 had stock. Am I going to buy, no, kind of happy to wait (LIE), but have to, just don't want to spend the extra.

This is dragging on, if only Samsung would release source I would go for the S3 today, and the fact I'm forced to use a Galaxy Y at the moment (fml) this is turning into a painful wait.
[Nexus 4 General] workshy:
Anyone know if the TV offer with O2 is still on?... and if using an O2 open code, does the discount vary depending on the contract tariff taken out?
[Nexus 4 General] vido.ardes:
I love the English language so much... It's hard to read this and not hear Hugh Laurie say it (real Hugh from Black Adder, not fake trans-Atlantic Hugh from House).

I'm a little worried about the second batch as well. Given the amount of people unable to get one in the first round (for example, a very unscientific straw pole says 11 people I know plus myself were trying, not one of us got one), there will be a big rush again for the second round. Now some people would say that hopefully Google have learnt from their mistakes, but the had the same problems at the Nexus 7 launch and the didn't learn from that. There were several hours between Australia and Europe going live and then Europe and the US, but in all three cases they had the same issues.

I will wait for the second batch, and I will try again, but if it is a similar shambles then I will just wait until MWC2013 in Feb and see what everyone else has to offer. That 5" HTC is looking mighty fine, and the similar offering from Sony intrigues me. It's all well and good the Nexus 4 being dirt cheap, but what use is that to anyone if we can't get the opportunity to buy one? :silly:
[Nexus 4 General] DarkShadowAy:
WOOOO got confirmation for my TV!!!!
[Nexus 4 General] Manipulas:
My local CPW just confirmed they can sell it to me sim free in store so probably going to go there today and pick one up wooooo
[Nexus 4 General] alchemistkevin:

Cancelled on chat :(

Now gotta trek to their local store.

Thanks though....

[Nexus 4 General] mustyrash:
O2 say they are giving me and my bro a tv dispite being pay and go customers, however:

Is the tweet a formal guarantee that we will get a tv within 28 days?

Is it the same tv pay monthly customers are getting, not a 10" tv that's £50 from asda?

Is it crazy that I dont want to take the nexus out of the Box until they tell me my tv has shipped?
[Nexus 4 General] trice1921:
They're going to wait until you're out of your return period before they send the TV.
[Nexus 4 General] @home:
Did anyone twitter him on how rubbish his new techno programme is?

What's do doing using android being an apple fanboy :p
[Nexus 4 General] DarkShadowAy:
Unfortunately we only have their word to go on.

And you may aswell open it as the return window is only 7/14 days whilst the TV will take 28 days.

---------- Post added at 11:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:33 AM ----------

Unlucky buddy. They still seem to have stock so pick one up asap!
[Nexus 4 General] wolfboy1984:
Lol. I don't know if anyone watched it to then be able to slag it off??

He is/was the biggest iPhone fan boy out. I've a little feeling he may have been educated/bullied to seeing the benefits of Android by those around him. :cool:
[Nexus 4 General] StNickZA:
Hate you. Please report back on your experience.
[Nexus 4 General] mustyrash:
Yeah I'm gonna open it later today but I wanna get some stuff to protect it. Maybe some kind of device insurance or warranty from O2 and some accessories too
[Nexus 4 General] warr3n:

My DM from o2

The twitter promotion is open to people buying a pay monthly phone but on this occasion we would like to give you an LG TV too!

22h

Thanks! Your television will be with you within 28 days as long as you don't return the phone :)

It's nailed on, they wouldn't risk the backlash ****storm if the reneged on this.

WAIT! You'd only think Google service was bad if you haven't dealt with CPW before...

Absolutely shoddy service, I wouldn't buy it at RRP from them, let alone pay a premium

No seriously, my kids not going to school at this rate if google dont hurry up.. haha
[Nexus 4 General] TeRRa4:
Patience, fellow buyers. The elves are working to flip that switch allowing us to buy all the devices.
[Nexus 4 General] Michealtbh:

[Nexus 4 General] Basil3:
I believe its based on hitting midnight PST
[Nexus 4 General] TeRRa4:

[Nexus 4 General] Cactus42:
There wasn't one. Everyone assumed since 8am is midnight PST. Then some German bloke said it would be available at "Breakfast" time there, pretty ambiguous that one.

[Nexus 4 General] nikzDHD:
I'm more interested to know if there are any people getting their hands on at the o2! Be a laugh if no one turned up hehe.
[Nexus 4 General] dai_griff:
Why 12?
[Nexus 4 General] nikzDHD:
Big crowd at the o2 store!

https://twitter.com/O2/status/268263766251151360/photo/1

£399.99 on o2 PAYG.
[Nexus 4 General] iWannaBeAdored:
People who buy the phone for around £399 aren't being ripped off. When O2 finish their exclusive 4 week window, everyone else will be selling it for around £399. Google are the only compan selling it handset only for a subsidised price. LG want to sell the phone at it's true value.

Regarding the TVs, I really can't see O2 being a c*nt about it. If you've received a DM, you'll be receiving a TV shortly. Al the crap in the terms about O2 having the right to do what they want is just standard contract wording. At my work we have a store credit card with some of the terms talking about how we can do what the f*ck we want!

Well done to all who've managed to redeem a TV. I think O2 will ship most of them out starting December since the window ends midnight 1st December.
[Nexus 4 General] kaiowas82:
Someone didn't get a TV :p
[Nexus 4 General] PWF:
I was sat on the fence about the bumper, £22 (including shipping) is quite a lot in my opinion, but I've purchased one based on this review. Now let's see if I receive it in under 3 weeks! Mind you I can't use it until my Nexus 4 arrives anyway!!
[Nexus 4 General] Manipulas:
Hey, well here's my CPW experience. Went and bought all fine, got home and the box had already been opened phone already used plastic off... really pissed so called them up to try and get a replacement new one they said they had 1 in stock all ok... so went down and got new one and yes this one was sealed and yes the phone is AMAZING, HSPA+ on three is sweet you don't even need 4g lol
[Nexus 4 General] CharmingCharlie:
Absolutely agree with you, I don't consider £399 for this phone to be a "rip off" I consider it to be a bargain. Last Friday all I had to do was pop into an O2 store have a great chat with the guys at the counter (they had all bought their Nexus phones), gave them £400 in crisp unmarked 20's and walked out with my phone, it took all of 20 mins. If I compare that to the utter sheer HELL and STRESS of what I went through with the Google Play Store and spending several hours trying to buy the phone from them then it was well worth paying the extra £100 just to avoid having to deal with the ****ty play store again in the next round of screw ups and server crashes that are going to happen when they finally get this phone back in stock.
[Nexus 4 General] italia0101:
So true, i on Three as wel and damn its so quick on HSPA+, much, much faster than i thought it would be
[Nexus 4 General] 007xico:
Yupiiiiiiiiiii,

9.01 am went into O2 got the £13.50x24 + £179

Sent them tweet, they replied back asking for another shot of the receipt, got the confirmation already for the tv.

Just need to sell the telly and in the end is the cheapest phone ever, probably £130 if i sell tv for £300.

Thanks to everyone for sharing this deal.#

:D

Now is time to play with Nexus 4.
[Nexus 4 General] EddyOS:
CPW, SIM-free, £389.95...save the £10 going to o2 for the Micro-SIM!!

http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/buy/LG_NEXUS_4
[Nexus 4 General] fleonard:
I think I'm going to buy it there if nothing happen in the next few days....
[Nexus 4 General] DarkShadowAy:
This has actually worked out much better than I imagined.

£10.50 * 24 = 252 + £180 = £432.

I should received £100 on O2 open discount = £332.

It's taken off £5 off my broadband a month. £5 * 24 = £120 - £332 = £212.

And I've also just got 12 months half price on my broadband after speaking to O2 retentions team.. So that's a further £78 off.

I was also tweeted O2 regarding the TV. I might keep it as a third monitor or if I sell it, I'll net a free phone and profit.

Me = :D :cool:
[Nexus 4 General] 3dawg:
I'm so tempted now...

I'd kill myself if they became available on the play store again soon though :(
[Nexus 4 General] DarkShadowAy:
Make that £20, as they force you to purchase the sim in some stores.
[Nexus 4 General] iWannaBeAdored:
By the way, I've popped my Orange SIM into my nexus and I noticed the IMEI SV is O2. Can O2 track whether I'm using the contract O2 SIM in my nexus?
[Nexus 4 General] chenga28:
they have them in some stores in london, on the way home i probably pop into one and purchase it or wait
[Nexus 4 General] phillevy:
£399 is certainly still a fair price for the hardware, however for me it significantly makes the justification for buying non-contract less compelling, compared to the Play store price. Whilst the buying experience has been truly horrid, at the end of the day all I'm having to do is lie low for a few weeks with my Nexus S, and my baby will come home eventually! I can then spent the money I've saved on a couple of curries:)
[Nexus 4 General] warr3n:
I reckon once the supply issues have been sorted the "street price" for this phone will be exactly the same as it is from the Play Store.

If I could be guaranteed a Nexus 4 before Xmas from the Play Store I would be happy to wait. However after the debacle when they were first released (and the cracked screen on my Nexus S) I am seriously considering buying from CPW.
[Nexus 4 General] Rusty!:
:laugh:

It's 02 not O2, completely unrelated.
[Nexus 4 General] iWannaBeAdored:
Take my nexus, I'm not worthy!

You can see how I got them mixed up :p
[Nexus 4 General] daveyjam:
Nope, it's O2. Check wikipedia.

Also, notice how their theme includes bubbles? O2 = Oxygen
[Nexus 4 General] DarkShadowAy:
Not sure if srs. It's O2 :eek:

It's your phone and you're free to do whatever you like with it. They will not track you.
[Nexus 4 General] Rusty!:
You muppets.

The characters displaying in the IMEI SV section of his phone (and mine, and yours) is 02, not O2.

I was not disputing that O2 is 'spelled' O2.

*facepalm*

:victory:
[Nexus 4 General] iWannaBeAdored:
Yeah to clear up we were talking about how its displayed in the IMEI SV part! What a coincidence though!
[Nexus 4 General] 12078215:
Got this email today. Was quite a good response until I noticed the thanksgiving bit at the end :laugh:
[Nexus 4 General] andymck:
CPW five minutes @£389 no top up required. Straight home fast booted and rooted.
[Nexus 4 General] alchemistkevin:
O2

So...

Went to a store, got a new contract, tweeted to O2. Replied to their DM to which they replied:

That's it, yeah? :confused:

No more waiting? I can open the box & play with it? :mad::mad::mad: :victory:
[Nexus 4 General] tonybhoy:

[Nexus 4 General] 3dawg:
Bit the bullet and bought one today from CPW. It's charging now..lol I suck.
[Nexus 4 General] :
Really don't understand people willing to pay £100 more than the RRP for this phone just to get it now. It will be back on the play store in a couple of weeks.
[Nexus 4 General] AppReviewBros:
Just wanted to add that I just spoke to Handtec and, unfortunately, they still have no idea when the Nexus 4 will be available for purchase.

Same with Clove, I guess.

Agrh, I just can't wait any longer!
[Nexus 4 General] 12078215:
Was that just today you did that then? Do you think O2 would tell me if they still have stock available?
