Sounds great!

still beats the "rumoured" LG prices in India. So this is my backup plan if my friend isnt able to pickup a Nexus before her flight back to India (Dec 15). Now we wait for the new stock.

Lol. Did you guys know there is an app for alerting you if Nexus 4 is back in stock? Its called "Nexus 4 Stock Alert". People are really excited, I know i am!:fingers-crossed:

Custom duty would be around Rs.2700 - Rs.3000. You can calculate it using the following link, which would not be a perfect calculation, but an approximate.

[Nexus 4 General] cyanide911:
That actually sounds reasonable. Although,

$10(shopandship.com) - What is this for?

And what about the 45USD registration charge on shopandship.com? Or am I missing something?

Wrong thread... :p

---------- Post added at 01:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:21 PM ----------

Hi guys... I think ordering a phone from US has a big advantage., even if the phone released here in India... I'd rather choose the one from US, why??? I think google, samsung, Lg, HTC always outcasted India in terms of first upgrades & services... We were in dark even when others were rejoicing with new things... I was a pround owner of GS2 & I'm sure who had this device will understand that we were the last ones to get the updates from samsung, even later than Bangladesh ,srilanka ,pakistan ,uganda etc... I mean whats that about??? I always hated when these things happened & we Indians were treated as ineligeble for updates... I bet it will be same if we buy a phone from LG in here...

So, Even though we don't get warranty in India, buying this phone from US has its great advantage in terms of direct updates & services from Google, rather than going through Lg or anything else... We can enjoy the 1st awesome experience of new things like others do or did...

I think many agree with me... :)
[Nexus 4 General] saj2001ind:
Not with nexus devices.. They get updates first everywhere
[Nexus 4 General] shishirasm:
No, see in that link of the previous post.. Galaxy nexus yakju got updates now whereas others got it a week back... I'm sure u understand how difficult it is to wait for even a week...
[Nexus 4 General] Umang Sardesai:
Na...

Galaxy Nexus has three versions...

'yakju'.. as mentioned earlier is the US version which gets the first update ..

There are two others belonging to UK and some other place which get the update later

---------- Post added at 02:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:54 PM ----------

Yup i completely agree..!! :highfive:

I guess buying the unlocked version from T-mobile for 499$ (which comes to INR 27K)is worth rather than waiting for it release in India...(which i think would be certainly above INR 30k )...

My cousin is coming to India on the 18th of Dec... Till then waiting for Play Store stock to be available.. booking it....waiting for the delivery to reach her... would be risky considering delay anywhere means I am screwed ...:eek:

So i guess getting the unlocked device in your hands directly from T-mobile is a better option though it is costlier than play store price..(but actually cheaper than expected Indian price)

Pls advise..! :o
[Nexus 4 General] saj2001ind:
if we are only worried about waiting a week for an update then we have to make up our minds here...1 week in androd world waiting is nothing compoared to months waiting with OEM devices

importing these stuffs should be last resort if nothing ever works in india or the price difference is huge
[Nexus 4 General] shadowkay:
Guys,

Yest the status on the play store changed from 'Estimated shipping Nov 15 th' to 'Pending'. Does this mean am into infinite limbo ? :( Also all of a sudden i was charged again for the full amount for the second time yest but on checking with the back they told me that the second transaction was declined but still first transaction holds good. What could be the reason for this ??
[Nexus 4 General] varshil:
Even i have pending now! Yesterday i had est shipping 15th nov. As far as i know pending means back order. And i will have to cancel my order because my aunt is comin here on 26th. So probably unless and untill they ship it today, it wont reach to my aunts place before she leave. And also google said no for changing the shipping address. :(
[Nexus 4 General] shadowkay:
Omg! that is really sad man! I got time till Dec 5 when my friend gets back to India. I really hope google ships it by then else looks like i will have cancel it too :(
[Nexus 4 General] saj2001ind:
how can u acces US play store from india ? or r u asking ur frnd to order in from US on behalf of u
[Nexus 4 General] _KP:
google tried to charge my card yesterday...but it was declined for some reason :/..now i have added another card..when do you think they'll charge again ? Or will i have to wait for a new batch to ship :(
[Nexus 4 General] amba55555:
they will charge it immediately if it declined again you have to change to a new card
[Nexus 4 General] subindev:

[Nexus 4 General] Harkunwar:
Same happened with me now.....please help me guyz.....Searching this thread for the answer for time being.

---------- Post added at 01:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:24 PM ----------

Got an error that google was unable to take out money from the credit card.
[Nexus 4 General] Hrithan2020:
It should be done within 3-4 days. I went through the same ordeal.

If the error was similar to what others have mentioned, then the best option is to use any other credit card, by updating the payment information in the google wallet, and then wait for 3-4 days. Meanwhile contact google support just to be on the safer side. [Can't say whether it actually helped for me though]

Hope you get the good news soon !! :)
[Nexus 4 General] Harkunwar:
I tried to pay with the same card.....checked the statement that money was debited....Got a confirmation mail that credit card worked ^_^
[Nexus 4 General] raul.k:
Phone coming sooo :D

So its goin to come soon I guess... :D

Dec 6th order charged yest... I had ordered using a HDFC virtual credit card, which failed since the second charge request from google failed.

I updated with a credit card... which got accepted..... Hope to see the phone in 2 to 3 weeks :D :cool:

Received the shipping confirmation from google for 30 Nov order :silly:
[Nexus 4 General] cyanide911:
Come on google don't leave me behind. I just need a confirmation that it's being shipped from Google, because only then I'll order my case and screen protector to and ship them together from comGateway.

Btw to those who have received the shipping mail, what does the Play store status say? And what does the Wallet status say?
[Nexus 4 General] raul.k:
Nexus Shipped :good: :laugh:
[Nexus 4 General] ed10000:
Play Store status turns to Shipped. Wallet status remains Pending until a successful charge and then turns to Completed.

ComGateway and HSG are pretty much exactly the same feature-wise, right? (I know HSG is a part of comGateway, just not sure if it offers any additional features apart from PayPal integration).

In HSG, you can store your shipments for up to 30 days (for free) before having them shipped out. If it's the same with comGateway, I would suggest you order the protectors and the cases beforehand and keep them ready in their storage facility.

[Nexus 4 General] amba55555:
I solved my problem

the thing is my debit card limit is not enough for google to charge me

so i changed it to around 1200$ and now google can charge me

in wallet it says

Your order will be charged and shipped by Google Inc..

hope i will get it soon! :victory:

Alternative Bumper

I was checking for a bumper for my incoming Nexus 4. I found this one "Poetic Nexus 4 Borderline Bumper" on many sites and everyone is recommending this. I need it really fast as my phone should be coming any time soon, so my only option is to buy from India.

Checkout the amazon reviews:

I found an E-bay deal for this bumper for Rs.1499, Is it worth it:

http://cgi.ebay.in/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290837427648

Should I go for it, This seller only have 10 bumpers in stock. Please help me.:confused:
[Nexus 4 General] raul.k:

for me it saye

"UPS could not locate the shipment details for your request. Please verify your information and try again later. " :confused:

guys now that we are going to get the phone within 2 weeks, I am considering of buying a screen protector and phone guard but from India. Since I dont want to spend extra 2 to 3K just for that.

Please can anyone suggest a good buy from ebay or anywhere else.

I understood the whole scenario what is happening right now...... Google took a hold from my credit card on 2 Dec and my limit is of 1000$......... hold expired after one week so Google was unable to take out money from my credit card so it gave a error...... I paid with the same credit card as I had enough money in that and my play store status again changed to pre-order...... Let's see what how much time does it take for nexus 4 to deliver
[Nexus 4 General] yogeshmha:

[Nexus 4 General] cyanide911:
How're you shipping your N4 from the US? Why don't you order the Poetic on Amazon to your shipper and ship both your phone and the bumper together? It's just 10USD on amazon.
[Nexus 4 General] rahulsampath:
Thanks,I am using PPOBOX for my phone, it will reach PPObox on Monday. If I ask them to consolidate this case with my phone,again I have to wait till the case reaches US warehouse. I am tired of waiting, I don't want to wait again for another 10 days. If I don't consolidate,it will cost me around Rs.1400 so I dont see the point of saving 100 bucks for the long wait.

And I have read this bumper is better than OEM LG Bumper, so anyway I was going to buy a bumper which will cost me around Rs.2800 but this seems a better option.
[Nexus 4 General] aravindun:

Hi Rahulsampath,

I have already ordered for the Peotic Borderline Bumper case & XtremeGuard (Nexus 4) Screen protector (Front & back) from Amazon.

All together : $10 (Peotic) + $4 (XtremeGuard) = $14 (INR= Rs.770)

I have shipped them directly to HopShopGo. So you can try ordering from Amazon and shipping it to HSG / ComGateway / Borderlinx / whichever you prefer. It's much cheaper than Ebay India. :)

how much do you think it will take ? now that my nexus is shipped from the store house of google...

Thanks :)
[Nexus 4 General] vikas_toad:
For accessories..

you all can try aliexpress.com

just search for nexus 4 and you'll get many listings for various accessories..s line.. hard matte. poetic, OEM bumper, screen protectors etc!

and do not forget to go through various pages to find the best price... because there are many duplicate listings ..

i ordered a 10-pack anti glare (matte) screen protector for 11.10USD (free shipping via singapore post ..got it in two weeks)

and a nillkin leather flip case with screen protector(back and front) for 13.65USD (free shipping via chinapost --takes mroe than a month-- awaiting delivery

so total of 11.10+13.65 = 24.75USD
[Nexus 4 General] trueblueram:
When did u order?
[Nexus 4 General] vikas_toad:
Ordered on Nov 28

Nothing after that

just yesterday i got a mail regarding that the phone has been shipped and will reach by 31st day end (just as promised by google, they had assured my friend , who is purchasing on my behalf, that the phone will reach before new year's eve.. and whoa!!! :D )

what next??

well i plan to send it to ppobox.com (and i would suggest others to do the same because the emails are replied to quickly.. also they have a physical office in Mumbai-andheri also a phone number of the same!! so you can always call them up and ask! and yes they do pick up)

so after a regular inspection for defects of earpiece and what not by my friend in US.. he will send it to ppobox.com and hopefully the phone should reach me by January 15th! YAY!:laugh:

---------- Post added at 04:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:35 PM ----------

ordered the nillkin case just two three days after the phone (should have gone for hongkong or singapore post by paying extra 1-3$.. atleast it would have reached me faster :( )

and the screen protectors I ordered

on 8th of december and got it on 22nd december (via singapore post)
[Nexus 4 General] rahulsampath:
Thanks guys but Ordering from Ebay

Thanks guys for your help.

But I am going with the ebay india, Poetic Bumper is available for Rs.1299 there, I really don't want to take the risk of not having any kind of protection for my phone when it arrives.

I am thinking whether to go for Atmosphere or Borderline. Atmosphere give overall protection and its only Rs.1099, but it covers that beautiful back panel whereas the bumper gives only minimal protection. :confused:
[Nexus 4 General] Hrithan2020:
The standard 3-5 shipping days option will cost you additional amount. Even higher for the 2-day shipping. I highly recommend you to activate the Amazon Prime trial, so that you can get it shipped within two days for free. Please note that it is just a 30-days trial and I highly recommend that you cancel it immediately after using it, to avoid getting your credit card charged for the yearly subscription, in case you forget to cancel. Use the US address, given by hopshopgo/ppobox etc when registering for Amazon Prime.

I have also ordered the ExtremeGuard case, but haven't got it. So can't comment, but for 4$, you are not really losing much.

It will reach the US address fast if you use the 2-day shipping option using Amazon prime as suggested above. If so, you can get the Diztronic Matte Black TPU from Amazon, which is much better quality.

[Nexus 4 General] rinsejohn:
I had ordered it around 5 hours back. Shipping estimated delivery was between Jan 7 - Jan 10 (Maximum).

After doing a lot of research and reviews, I found that the XtremeGuard Screen Protect is pretty good and worth it.

If you want CrystalClear, I would suggest you to try Skinomi's Full Body Protective Skin which actually protects your whole phone - http://www.amazon.com/Skinomi-TechSkin-Protector-Protective-Lifetime/dp/B009W6C4FW

Skinomi's have a lot of good ratings and have good customer support.

And also, forgot to tell you that make sure you order products equal to or more than $25 on Amazon to get Super Savings exempt from shipping & taxes. :)

In my PPOBox I have given the option for no consolidation so I will have to pay for all shipping and duty of the case. And I dont want to use any other service as I have been using PPOBox for the last two years.

And about Diztronic case, it have a matte black finish whereas Poetic Atmosphere is transparent. Also I am more inclined to Poetic as I have been using their case on my iPhone and it was top notch quality. Also for the bumper people are giving 5 stars in amazon and it looks sexy and a lot cheaper than OEM bumper.
