Lucky Ones

I'm starting to feel lucky that I missed the first batch of orders. It's pretty messy...

I would like to know just how many units were put up for sale in the first place, and what Google's up to exactly. To sell out so fast almost feels like some kind of tactic; maybe to allow some beta testing amongst the community. Anyway, I'm resolved to waiting now after the initial disappointment :eek:
[Nexus 4 General] :
Delivery Estimate > Shipping Estimate - same thing.

Go to the bottom of the page, change the language in the dropdown to "English US" and it'll change to Shipping Estimate. Change it to "English UK" and it'll change to Delivery Estimate.
[Nexus 4 General] jok4h:
@joeykatoa LOL there you go! thanks for the tip
[Nexus 4 General] :
Yeh, I leave mine on English UK now, delivery estimate sounds more promising.... lol
[Nexus 4 General] DarkRyoushii:
Okay I have some concrete evidence for you all :)

I just called up FedEx customer service by their official phone number on their website. I followed the prompts to track parcel status and then when it asked for the tracking number, I simply waited until the auto response timed out and redirected me to a person. I asked if I could track the parcel based off my home address and they did manage to find it. They said that the information was received yesterday, but they have yet to receive anything and so no, my parcel has NOT been shipped yet. They WERE able to give me the tracking number so that I am able to independently track it using their website or the more accurate PackageTrackr.com

Here is what packagetrackr comes up with at the moment (removed tracking number and destination): http://d.pr/i/Cxv

Hope this helps clear it up (and if it does remember the "thanks" ;) haha)

Looks like we'll be getting them on monday at the earliest.

EDIT - More information:

I ordered 12:18pm on the 13th; Credit card charge is pending; Status is "Shipping/Delivery Estimate: Nov 15th"
[Nexus 4 General] lbrewer:
Ordered at 12:38:40 received confirmation from Google at 12:39. As I posted previously, a little worried as these seems right as the tail end of order acceptance. When I refreshed the play store after ordering it listed as coming soon.
[Nexus 4 General] noobdeagle:
mine is stuck on Complete

order time was 12:07 and confirmation email was 12.08

it went to complete straight away and has not changed since, im starting to get worried as id have thought it should be saying a shipping estimate by now.

GWallet is still pending and so is my bank record of credit card charges :S
[Nexus 4 General] lbrewer:
hmmm yeah me neither, comfortable that is. As advised, I checked the cc no pending or holding funds. Called Google, the rep said that the order looked fine, hasn't shipped yet but to expect it in 3-5 working days. I asked about the credit card charges and he said my card has been approved that funds are available. So yeah here's hoping and waiting.........
[Nexus 4 General] chronophysicist:
would be quite dissapointed if that were true, first world problem I know but I can't help myself......:(
[Nexus 4 General] DarkRyoushii:
to be completely honest, my guess is that the estimates on the order page are actually looking up the tracking information and guessing from that, since my tracking number also seems to say the same date (Thursday 15th at 6:00AM).
[Nexus 4 General] ASavva:
Unfortunately I missed out on one, but I can tell you all from having a nexus 7 on pre order from release date that your item will not be shipped until the funds have been taken from your bank account.

Only then will you get a confirmation email stating that it has been shipped. Don't trust Google saying the 15th unless the money has been deducted from your bank account.
[Nexus 4 General] elite_gamer04:
Fantastic information mate, I suppose you just used the 13-26-10 number? I'm going to give that a go tomorrow - are all of us Australian's most definitely all using Fedex for our shipments?
[Nexus 4 General] DarkRyoushii:
Yup that's the number, the option is like 2 and then 1 and then wait for the rep.

Well I called FedEx because that was who my Nexus 7 came from.. I didn't actually know for sure - just remained confident on the phone saying that I was expecting a parcel from singapore - but I'm fairly certain they are all going via FedEx.
[Nexus 4 General] :
I can confirm that they are all being delivered by FedEx
[Nexus 4 General] noobdeagle:
just called fed ex myself because mine was sitting on complete, Fed-EX have a package information for my address so i guess we are all going to be in the same batch, she also said that its coming from hong kong.

also notice that they are not getting picked up till the 15th,, least that's how i read the 'scheduled' for section.
[Nexus 4 General] jok4h:
If CC has "pending payment" for that amount by google, i would be incline to think you are safe.

But you'll never know :(

Good luck mate!
[Nexus 4 General] lbrewer:
Awsome man, this makes me feel a little better as I am also on (and only have been on) status complete.
[Nexus 4 General] jackierobinson:
Mine is going to arrive tomorrow. I can just sense it. I love setting myself up for disappointment. I just can't get enough of that heart-crushing devastation.

[Nexus 4 General] Nucleotide:
I ordered a Nexus 7 last week and it was only after I received the device (I was actually using it at the time) I got an email stating that the device had been shipped. I'm not expecting anything different for the Nexus 4 either. Quite a few people have reported this.

If you haven't received a shipping confirmation don't stress to much just yet. :good:

HAHAHA! You wouldn't believe it. I just opened up my email after posting the above and there is the shipping notification. :D

To all you fine folk that received tracking emails can you post state + time ordered. I'm in SA and ordered a 16gb at 1151 CST so 1221 EST, nada so far. Ta

Seen it happen before. Sydney Metro anyways.

Based on the tracking info of mine.

11/13/2012 - Tuesday

8:41 am	Shipment information sent to FedEx

So the ball has been rolling since 8:41am

either syd or hk time.

[Nexus 4 General] jackierobinson:
Mine says Pick up / Ship date is

Ship (P/U) date :

Tues 11/13/2012

So fed ex had it yesterday?

Therefore it arriving tomorrow at 5pm is not a far stretch at all. It also fits with googles estimated delivery date which was the 15th. I have used Fed Ex before for international orders and their estimated delivery was correct. So I'm hopeful.
[Nexus 4 General] :
My fed ex page doesn't have an expected delivery date or time! Is ur status on fed ex "initiated" or "picked up"?
[Nexus 4 General] psy:
Initiated.

I suspect theyre us dates/times. Eg mine says the 11/13 9:01 for shipment info being sent to FedEx.

I've tried changing the timezone info but it doesn't work - possibly because I'm on my nexus
[Nexus 4 General] zac68:
Tragedy strikes :( I got an email saying my Nexus has shipped. Checked the Fedex tracking number and it said delivery will be tomorrow at 5pm. Checked Fedex a few minutes later and there was an update that read "Package received after FedEx cutoff" and the delivery time has now changed to "Mon 11/19/2012 6:00 pm"

Close but no cigar.
[Nexus 4 General] jackierobinson:
If you hover over the pick up/ship date it says it's local time of origin. So that would be HK time. So it did get picked up yesterday. And time is set to detect your local time, and you can also set it manually. It still shows the same estimated delivery time.
[Nexus 4 General] psy:
Rechecked using a proper browser. Can change the FedEx website to local time. Parcel was initiated at 2am 14/11 so the 15/11 5pm delivery could well be accurate. Fingers crossed!
[Nexus 4 General] :
I have anticipated ship date like you do but no estimated delivery date or time :(

Which state? I'm in Melbourne

[Nexus 4 General] hicough:
What pre-paid or post-paid options do you plan on using? I'm using a $17 BYO plan with 2gb, 6000 texts which I hardly meet 4% of month to month.

http://www.liveconnected.com.au/

Any better plans out there?

Also now Nexus 4 has convinced me that 4G doesn't matter, I'm now considering getting the Galaxy Note II for an extra $175 from . Seems like a good deal. http://www.dwidigitalcameras.com.au/astore/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-N7100-16GB-UNLOCKED-Mobile-Phones.aspx

Do you think it's worth it?
[Nexus 4 General] jackierobinson:
TPG 15$ plan (reduced because I have their ADSL already). I doubt it can be beat!
[Nexus 4 General] n7of9:
never gets old :D
[Nexus 4 General] Nark.GA60:
I'm on Woolworths. $29 for 45 days and 5GB. :good:

The Optus network is rubbish, though. Way oversubscribed. I miss the speeds of Vodafone.
[Nexus 4 General] samthe2can:
The $2 per mb over the 5 bothered me ($2048 for a gig c'mon) can you buy extra data for it through the 45 days?

I'm with amaysims unlimited, 30 days, unlimited SMS, MMS and calls to Australian numbers with 4GB data and 5c per mb over
[Nexus 4 General] Nark.GA60:
Forgot to say, it's prepaid. There's no over charges. Once you use it, that's it. No bill shock. :good:
[Nexus 4 General] samthe2can:
That's pretty darned good then! I might have to look into it a bit further
[Nexus 4 General] Sean88:
I'm also on amaysim $39.95 a month 3G data, unlimited text and calls its glory
[Nexus 4 General] gregneal:
It can be beat. $11/month flexi plan from Vaya. or the $12/month one from Live Connected.

http://www.vaya.net.au/?option=Mobile and click flexi

You know woolworths use the optus network? are you saying that you get slow speeds?

I was going to go with vaya when my voda contract runs out... they also use optus. What sort of speeds do you get?

Also this is going off-topic, sorry.
[Nexus 4 General] :
Telstra all the way here! I was with Optus then Vodafone. Had to use the ombudsman to break both those contracts, now I'm contract free with Telstra. Haven't looked back - no more dropouts, internet is crazy fast and connects in a second.

Not to mention that (as far as I'm aware) Telstra is the only AU provider that supports DC-HSDPA (42mbit H+ supported by the N4) + HD Voice

Edit:

IMO, the biggest issue with AU telcos is congestion/over-subscription. Its one thing to be using technologies like LTE (100mbit), HSDPA (21mbit) or DC-HSDPA (42mbit), but if the bandwidth/backbone isn't there at the towers to allow people to use those theoretical speeds, whats the point?

Telstra is the first network I've used in AU that I can actually get close to the theoretical limits of the data connection type that I'm using.
[Nexus 4 General] samthe2can:
But their plans and pre paids suck in regards to data

If I could get at least 3gb for $40 a month then I would jump, they are a lot faster in my area
[Nexus 4 General] :
I live in Parramatta in NSW - Optus and Vodafone are completely unusable here due to congestion. The only time I was getting decent speeds was at 3AM. And even then it was lucky to be 1mbit max. Not to mention ping times were like 300ms++.

Telstra are more pricey but its worth it. Whats the point in a 3gb data limit when you can't even use it?
[Nexus 4 General] psy:
I'm with Telstra, buy my employer pays for it.
[Nexus 4 General] AkaGrey:
Sry for bothering, but I didn't got an answer...

Does someone know what price the nex4 will it on the physical stores? +50/+100 from playstore price of nex4?

Inviato dal mio MB860 con Tapatalk 2
[Nexus 4 General] psy:
No idea. You'd think roughly the same price though
[Nexus 4 General] Nark.GA60:
At work, I get half the speed, 1.5mbps as opposed to Vodafone's 3mbps. At home, it's even worse.
[Nexus 4 General] lgftsa:
I'm on the Telstra $20 plan with 1Gb of data for an extra $10. If I use less than $15 of calls/SMS, that's all I'm charged. Since I make very few outgoing calls, my monthly bill is usually $25.

No other option when living outside the capital cities.

Edit: The data is shaped to 64kb/s when I get to 1Gb, no extra charges.
[Nexus 4 General] :
Anyone have any updates on their FedEx tracking?
[Nexus 4 General] mrxd:
No, ETA still Thur 11/15/2012 5:00 pm, but i don't believe it :)

Looks like it hasn't even left HK yet, still in 'Initiated' state.
[Nexus 4 General] jackierobinson:
No. I'm sort of hoping it just arrives today anyway. Though I'm getting less hopeful.
[Nexus 4 General] n7of9:
nope, neither for myself or my 2 mates
[Nexus 4 General] LaviLoki:
Pricing?

Hey, sorry if I'm a bit slow, but I haven't ordered yet, how much is the shipping to Australia? In specific, Sydney?
[Nexus 4 General] psy:
I'm hopeful of getting it today.

I've not had any updates on my FedEx page, but given the first entry is from 2AM 14/11 (our time) it's potentially been in transit for 24+hrs already.

---------- Post added at 09:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:51 AM ----------

$19.99
[Nexus 4 General] Teejai80:
Its all better than having to randomly wait for new stock. :(
[Nexus 4 General] blazerxzero:
I just called up fedex giving them my address and name.

They have no record. btw my order status says Completed and they have charged the credit card already.
[Nexus 4 General] noobdeagle:
Just woke up and checked still on initiated I'm hopeful to see it today or tomorrow but I doubt it probably next Monday will be the earliest :(
[Nexus 4 General] :
I'm pretty sure that the FedEx page isn't updating or hasn't been updated in a while. In saying that though, if they were being delivered today as some people are expecting due to the expected delivery date and time, I'm sure someone would have received one already today.

And no one is reporting a delivery yet :(
[Nexus 4 General] goat_on_boat:
Well i'm in an odd situtation...

I have no delivery estimation on my order (ie: on my order page it doesnt even say "Should take x days, or due on the 15th etc" - and no Fedex tracking confirmation. (as of 11:05am on Thursday)...

Wondering what I should do - I have already emailed google support (singapore link that they give you).

Anyone have any ideas?
[Nexus 4 General] blazerxzero:
Either

a) Call fedex (13 26 10) give them your name/address and see if you can get a track number

b) Call the playstore (02 9336 4966) , and ask about the order status
[Nexus 4 General] :
Just spoke to fedex for my one - they said that the status hasn't changed from "Initiate" as they haven't picked up from Google yet. They said it looks like they're still waiting for instruction to pickup :(

What a mess
[Nexus 4 General] cavinsoo:
Sigh. I knew it. My senses are right that the phones will not arrive today.
[Nexus 4 General] :
Just spoke to the Play Store as well, he said its out of their hands now once their status is "Shipped". He said give it 3-5 business days.

He also did say that FedEx aren't the best for updating their tracking status. He said they usually lag quite a bit.
[Nexus 4 General] pejamas:
Not sure what to believe then.. Might try calling FedEx myself and see if I get the same response.
[Nexus 4 General] psy:
Some people on Whirlpool have contacted FedEx and been told their phone has left HK and is Aus bound.
[Nexus 4 General] Nucleotide:
Mine hasn't updated but to be honest, I've had a few things sent to me via FedEx in the past and their tracking website is fairly useless IMO.

Just last week I ordered a Nexus 7 and only once I had the device in my hand did the status update. I actually got the email on the device saying order has been shipped (from the Play Store) and not long after, an email from FedEx saying it had been delivered. Other than that, nothing at all - no other status updates. Checked the FedEx website and all the tracking information just appeared.

Some phones may still arrive later on today but I'd be betting tomorrow will be the day for most. :good:
[Nexus 4 General] :
Here's hoping! Maybe a few more of you call FedEx and see what they say? Maybe between 5 of us we can get a decent answer out of them lol
[Nexus 4 General] mohok:
So!

I just gave FedEx a call and they told me that the packages are in a container, but they don't know which flight they will be on just yet. He said that nothing has been scanned or updated just because technically it hasn't left Hong Kong yet.

He said best case scenario, it get's on a flight today or tonight and is dispatched for delivery tomorrow. Worst case, it will be delivered Monday.

Hope that eases some concerns.
[Nexus 4 General] DarkRyoushii:
I like the sound of this, will believe it when I see something though.. not doubting just not expecting a call center grunt to get all the facts straight.
[Nexus 4 General] AkaGrey:
Hi guys, How much nex 4 costs on your playstore +shipping costs +tax?

Cuz a friend of mine is going on holiday @ Sidney, so he will do me a favor, and buy one for me :P

So i want to know how much AUD is, so i can convert the price in euros and send to him :)

And yes, our play store do not sell nexus phones.. -.-
[Nexus 4 General] benjamingdelacruz:
May I ask why on earth you would stream your music instead of just..you know, putting it on your phone?
[Nexus 4 General] T1ki:
As a Swede in Australia, this launch could not have come at a better time! My old Desire HD is starting to give up and the prices here are about half compared to Sweden (<3 10% GST instead of 25% & No Play Store).

Does anyone know where I can buy Nokias Charging Pillow? I'd like to get one if I can't get the wireless orb at the same time as the phone...
[Nexus 4 General] DarkRyoushii:
8GB: $350

16GB: $400

If the shipping is the same as the Nexus 7 it should be an extra $20 to give $370 and $420.

If this helps click the thanks button!! ;)
[Nexus 4 General] AkaGrey:
Tnx! :)

Edit : another question, in the price u just gave me, there are already included the taxes or it need to be added? And how much in days it will be sent?

Nexus 7 is better in looks than 4

doesnt it?
[Nexus 4 General] MrWulf:
I presume you know the Nexus 4 is at maximum 16GB? After downloading a few games, a bunch of apps, taking a bunch of photos/video and the android OS itself you will find there isn't a huge amount of room for music. I have like 40GB of music, hence, the need to stream music if I upgrade to the Nexus 4.

Why would you be so quick to assume that I don't know I can put music on my phone?
[Nexus 4 General] Kvoth:
Yes, $370 and $420 includes all taxes. Shipping should take less than a week (2-5 business days), presuming they have stock.
[Nexus 4 General] benjamingdelacruz:
In not being 'so quick to assume' anything. Note how I politely said 'may I ask why...'

And yes, I'm aware that the Nexus only comes with 16 gb of storage, what I'm not aware of is anybody who actually listens to 40 gigabytes of music. Those who have that much music? Perhaps, but nobody who listens to that much - but to each their own.
[Nexus 4 General] DarkRyoushii:
It includes GST (Goods and Services Tax).. all Australian pricing does. In my previous experience with the Play Store when I bought the nexus 7 it took me around 4 or 5 days after them taking the money out of my account.
