Media Markt (+Saturn, they belong together) are in dead one of the biggest chains for electronic products.

At his point I don't see the problem really on their side since, as far as I know, they were quite accurate so far on launch days.

But all depends on Google at the moment. Google wasn't able to restock devices anywhere around the world so far. Nobody knows when Google has the N4 back for sale in the play store. I'm really not sure what they will prefer: Having the device back in their own shop or having the N4 out for sale in re seller shops. I think Google makes more money from selling bigger quantity to a re seller then to end users directly and I'm pretty sure they would have to pay contractual penalties if they don't deliver in time to Media Markt.

Nevertheless it would be possible that Media Markt won't get any devices (this year) but IMHO its more likely to pick up a N4 from a re seller store then from the play store.

One more possibility is that all devices that Media Markt will receive are already pre ordered or out of stock when you arrive in Germany ;)

Sorry, can't say anything to the foreign CC

I was offered to pay with credit card a year ago in Media Markt Cologne, but was told i have to pay a small fee.

This depends on location thou, there are also two Saturn markets in germany which offer to pay with credit card (munich 100 % and hamburg i htink).
[Nexus 4 General] ptr_hamilton:
So are you able to tell us something about the release day :D asking because Saturn change their release time more to the future..

Cheers Pete
[Nexus 4 General] Mash87:
Saturn had its release data set to a few days later right from the beginning, or at least they have changed it already a few days ago
[Nexus 4 General] baza14:
I think so. I'm thinking about to travel to dresden to buy it in media markt but who knows how much nexus' they will have at launch day and when the second wave will arrive.
[Nexus 4 General] Vangelis13:
Give them a buzz a couple of days before, tell them you'll be coming from the Czech Republic to collect one, see what happens. Never know.. ;)

That's a great idea.:) Found their email. Thanks:highfive:
[Nexus 4 General] Chad_Petree:
Is there a store with the phone on display in Berlin? I really want to see it live just to hold on until it's available again on the play store :(
[Nexus 4 General] Chad_Petree:
I dont know this seems strange, maybe google didnt limit the amount of devices a person could buy, so there might be some resellers who bought like 20 phones each :mad: or maybe the play store is not ready for such heavy traffic and they star selling the phones later today, i'm corssing my fingers for this :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 4 General] molesarecoming:
yeah looks like next year then. :(

Has somebody tried to change IP adress?
[Nexus 4 General] Vangelis13:
Wish it was that easy.. :)

Nah, they're sold out. Check the Focus article I linked in the OP..
[Nexus 4 General] aventu:
okay, do you have this sending adress for Germany?^^

[Nexus 4 General] chemoferd:
Focus is citing Keuchel as source and he has been wrong about the time of the sale before. Still a tiny bit of hope left.
[Nexus 4 General] SiemensLover:

Should it say in Play Store SOLD OUT "Ausverkauft"? or it just say soon available "Bald Verfügbar"??
[Nexus 4 General] chemoferd:
Imagine the ****storm if it would actually say "Ausverkauft". Wise decision on Googles part.
[Nexus 4 General] Harsh:
Believe it or not guys its already SOLD OUT. Those buttons which were coming back as "ADD TO CART", were for devices which were cancelled by people who made purchase mistake or double purchase due some problems.

You can confirm this in an hour, as you cant cancel order after 1 hour. So it wont be possible to buy again today.
[Nexus 4 General] SiemensLover:
i do not believe that it is sold out. it is just a markting game.

Google Deutschland hat diesen Beitrag ursprünglich gepostet:

Wir sind überwältigt von dem großen Interesse unserer Nutzer am Nexus 4 und Nexus 10 und bedauern gleichzeitig, dass noch nicht alle Interessenten zum Zuge kommen konnten. Beide Geräte waren innerhalb kurzer Zeit ausverkauft.

Natürlich setzen wir alles daran, sie so schnell wie möglich wieder verfügbar zu machen. Zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt können wir aber leider keine Aussage darüber treffen, wann der nächste Schwung an Geräten über Google Play erhältlich sein wird.
[Nexus 4 General] SiemensLover:
Markting!! :cool:
[Nexus 4 General] Pratz852:
I don´t think Germany has that many People who know about the Nexus-Line. I can´t imagine it getting sold out right away over here. I really don´t know anybody from the general public, who knows about it. And even if some do know about it, they wouldn´t be sitting in front of the PC at 9 A.M, ??
[Nexus 4 General] SiemensLover:

[Nexus 4 General] chemoferd:
Makes you wonder how many devices they had in store for today. 1000 maybe?
[Nexus 4 General] mastergamer99:
google acts like apple :(

Here in germany werent any ads, no1 know about this device, nearly (except us :D ) cares about it, i really dont get it.

I guess its just marketing, just to be able to say "nexus 4 was sold out in under 10min".

If it isnt marketing, then its sad that google cant handle a few hundred possible customers.

i hope at least that we can use the full potential of a s4 quad in the next weeks...
[Nexus 4 General] jaju123:
All of Europe shares the same stock I think and each country has a quota. It is sent from Ireland no matter where you order.
[Nexus 4 General] hippieschuh:
price is the bait. ppl dont came for nexus but for the cheap phone. it was on it news allover and dont forgett .at .ch etc
[Nexus 4 General] Pratz852:
.at and .ch aren´t eligble to order via the Play store. They are getting retail prices of upto 500-600 €
[Nexus 4 General] kwerdenker:
I normally have high regards for Google but how they handled the sale start of the new Nexus devices is nothing short of a disaster. I was lucky enough to check for any updates on the sale start yesterday evening, so I was prepared for the nine o'clock release. I tried for 20 minutes to order a Nexus 4 16GB but it kept falling out of my basket or I couldn't actually send off my order. Then suddenly it wasn't available anymore. I think we all can agree on that this is not a pleasant experience.

What baffles me, is that a) the server obviously couldn't handle the load at times - this is GOOGLE we are talking about! - and b) that other companies already have better systems than this "race to finish/lottery" implement. They should have taken a queue from Amazon and their new Kindle launch. They opened the pre-order a month before release. One could order calmly and got a quote, when you most likely will get your device shipped. This way everyone is happy because Amazon can gauge the demand and scale production accordingly and the customer is assured he'll get his device.

I'm curious to see if and when Google will release a statement about this. I especially want to know when we can expect the next batch...
[Nexus 4 General] anchef:
Are there any news at all for those who ordered?! I hope something is gonna happen this week...
[Nexus 4 General] :
I hope this too ... It's okay to wait, but at some point, I can't wait anymore :eek:
[Nexus 4 General] Vangelis13:
All n7 available in the store again. Or were they already available..?
[Nexus 4 General] freeintruth:
I think one of them was not...but do not remember which one. So that's good right? Things are gradually back in order.
[Nexus 4 General] DforDesign:
N7 3g was not there. I it showed up in UK play store too.

Let's see what the new week will bring. One can only be positive! ;)
[Nexus 4 General] Alwyna:
I think my SGS2 is dying. It knows i bought a Nexus 4 and so it stops working. I need the phone right now xD

Tomorrow is the end of the second week, am i rite? State is still pending since wednesday...
[Nexus 4 General] anchef:
It depends... I got the "3 Weeks" Mail on the 15th, so Google could say that its three weeks since the 15th but thats a 2 day difference :)

Who cares after 3 Weeks :P
[Nexus 4 General] Mash87:
My Nexus One (ok, in fact it is a Desire) is holding on bravely :)

Anything new from the people who got backordered? New week new luck?
[Nexus 4 General] :
Nothing new so far... Still waiting. :(
[Nexus 4 General] freeintruth:
Happy Cyber Monday everybody!
[Nexus 4 General] TamCore:
YAY!! Got my shipping confirmation :)
[Nexus 4 General] vollmilch:
show us ;)
[Nexus 4 General] remczar69:
Congratulations mate!

I wonder if there are any others coming today :)
[Nexus 4 General] TamCore:
Sure :)
[Nexus 4 General] vollmilch:
Thanks!

Thats great, congrats! So there's some hope again :)
[Nexus 4 General] :
Hopefully there are some 16gb versions on their Way too...
[Nexus 4 General] TamCore:
Yep. Wanna see something funny? :)

http://twitter.com/TamCore/status/273069772772634624 ;)
[Nexus 4 General] Alwyna:
Congrats man! Can you tell me when you got this mail? Probably minutes before you wrote it in here? :D
[Nexus 4 General] freeintruth:
There seems to have a pattern: on mondays people receive notifications; on tuesdays the majority know something will happen; on weds something actually happens (last week, N10 back in stock)...and then curses and complaints
[Nexus 4 General] Alwyna:
Seems legit...

by the way and a little (though its about nexus) offtopic: The picture in your signature.. are those your devices? :P
[Nexus 4 General] FISKER_Q:
Any germans seen their 16GB model ship yet?
[Nexus 4 General] freeintruth:
NO, unfortunately, those are the devices i wanted/want...this time i thought i might have a chance to get one of them. but so far my luck has been on the backorder :p
[Nexus 4 General] Mash87:
congrats man!

I wonder how many ppl on backorder are left after today in DE.... (if they ship more then this one today :D )
[Nexus 4 General] gnangnan:
Lucky one. Our two devices (16GB) aren't shipped yet. I'm from Germany, too. :/
[Nexus 4 General] remczar69:
Yeah, I'm from Germany as well, and haven't received anything so far :/
[Nexus 4 General] :
Nope
[Nexus 4 General] Mash87:
the one shipped might just be one that they've found in the last, dark corner of a shelf, or have used as a door stopper so far :laugh:
[Nexus 4 General] gnangnan:
Seems that they only ship 8GB models (due to four or five other shipments confirmed on android-hilfe.de).

Edit: 16GB were also shipped.
[Nexus 4 General] Papier101:
- Taken the Android-Hilfe.de Forum

He says that he has called the Google Support and the Support said that they have received a new shipment of devices, that will be sent out this night. Also he noted that the Support that everyone who didnt got his email today will receive the email in the course of the week.

This gives me hope that we might see some N4s in Store again. I dont think the shipment will be only for the customers whos N4 has not been send out yet.
[Nexus 4 General] Mash87:
but why is he saying "Was nichts gutes heißt"?

Or is it just because it is out of context?
[Nexus 4 General] Papier101:
I dont know either.
[Nexus 4 General] TamCore:
I think "Was nichts gutes heißt" is related to "alle, die heute keine Versandmail bekommen im Laufe der Woche eine Mail erhalten werden". Maybe he thinks Google will send out cancellations during the week.
[Nexus 4 General] Apfelschale:
because they said everyone else would receive a mail, which could also mean another delay mail.
[Nexus 4 General] Mash87:
I think you're right, that sounds plausible

So what did they get this time, 15 devices or so? This is turning more and more into a joke
[Nexus 4 General] kilolum:
we should start trying to build our own nexus devices. we would probably be faster.
[Nexus 4 General] Alwyna:
Just got this mail from Google Play:

Basically it says that for this week i don't get my phone and i will receive another mail if they send it to me. F*CK Google. Who else got this mail?

Edit:

I ordered a 16GB Nexus 4 and got the BO mail.
[Nexus 4 General] ptr_hamilton:
Actually it says that your phone will be sent this week which should be good news for you ;) Some of us, yes me too, couldn't even buy one with first batch..
[Nexus 4 General] Alwyna:
Thats a bit of a ***** right now... if it's an english mail only translated to german it means i won't get it this week. If it's actually a german mail i will get it. I thought it was the english version of terminated which means canceled... maybe i've got luck and it's the real german version xD
[Nexus 4 General] ptr_hamilton:
A lot of people in us and spain received that kind of mail too. It says they are going to ship this week. You should see google to take money of your credit card soon, which will mean the actually shipped it :good:
[Nexus 4 General] Alwyna:
Ok, thank you for cleaning up my brain**** :) Then i need to edit some things in: Yaaay...

But i hope you can order soon, too!
[Nexus 4 General] spidr:
hello everyone, i wanted to ask about buying the phone from google play. I live in germany but at the moment i dont have any german bank accounts so i dont have a credit card to buy the phone. Anyone knows some other way i could buy the phone when it comes available;

There are some tips when i hit buy on the nexus 7 i see visa , mastercard, amex, discover. Some people told me that i cannot use my prepaid visa card from other countries. what i could do ? what about discovergiftcardshop.com/discoverConsumer/Discover/Home?id=003&type=6YFG4D&tab=1

My main consern is that i want to buy the 8gb version and in play store costs 300e compared to the 16gb from mediamarkt that i could buy for 400e the difference for me is big..

thanks in advance :D
[Nexus 4 General] TamCore:
You can use creditcards from other countries without any problems. I live in germany, I have a german bank account but a creditcard from UK and I should get my Nexus 4 today (according to DHL's tracking) ;)
[Nexus 4 General] spidr:
so i can use my greek visa card on the purchase field ? and as address the german address? this is confusing
[Nexus 4 General] TamCore:
Yep.
[Nexus 4 General] remczar69:
I got the email saying that it shopuld be shipped this week today at 01:01 yaaayy :D

I was on backorder as probably all of us here :)

Edit: I ordered the 16GB version, no bumper.
[Nexus 4 General] freeintruth:
Well, from what I can tell, most of us are on "not yet ordered" and "not yet informed when to do so".

Xmas market is on...where is my Xmas gift, google?
[Nexus 4 General] spidr:
its not working i m trying to make a virtual purchase on the nexus 7 and says Zahlungsmethode wird nicht unterstutzt. i guess they dont accept the card because its not from german bank :/ or because the billing infrormation of the card is a greek address..

does anyone knows if i ask the bank to change the street information will it be accepted ? or they will still dont accept the visa from greek bank in german google play ?
[Nexus 4 General] Intruder7s:
Use your credit card and put your valid billing address. Just instead of Greece in the billing address country field....put Germany.

That's all.
[Nexus 4 General] Alwyna:
I got the shipping mail :)
[Nexus 4 General] spidr:
omg thats working -.- well imo it shouldenτ get accepted cause the billing information its like a confirmation of the cardsholder information :good:
[Nexus 4 General] Mash87:
on one hand I'm happy for all the backordered people who now get a shipping mail or at least got the "will be shipped during the week" mail since when every backorder is fulfilled, they hopefully will open the play store for new orders.

But on the other hand: I wan't to have the thing myself!!

Open up that useless play store Google! :crying:
[Nexus 4 General] Intruder7s:
I am glad it worked :D

Well it is. The street info and the other stuff.

But the country cannot be confirmed. Dunno why.

P.S. tyxere egw akoma perimenw to nexus 16 na ginei diathesimo !!
[Nexus 4 General] freeintruth:
Does anybody remember when the N10 came back last Wed? This week, so far, is repeating what happened last week. If that is true, N4 should reappear around the same time N10 was re-stocked last week.

Or, does anyone have better idea?

p.s. really happy for those level 3 guys :)
[Nexus 4 General] Guto ViP:
Nexus 4 bumper has sold out too on Google Play? Anyone know if it will be sell on Saturn or Mediamakrt?
[Nexus 4 General] TamCore:
The yellow santa was here a few minutes ago and brought me a nice packet :)
[Nexus 4 General] Mash87:
Do you think there is a chance the N4 will be available in the EU soon too, like in the US?

Anything new from Stephan Keuchel?
[Nexus 4 General] freeintruth:
na ja, i just checked Stephan's google+, nothing new...wish there is a way to ask him.

Does anyone know something? time for us to stick together...left by US google
[Nexus 4 General] t0n:
I would hope so. BUT NOT MORE. Wait for an official email. Meanwhile you can get your hopes up I guess.
[Nexus 4 General] freeintruth:
Headline today, the N4 is back...not in Germany though

For the working folks, if you do not want to look through other threads and are eager to catch up with the updated inform, here is the big news for today: http://liliputing.com/2012/11/google-nexus-4-goes-on-sale-again-today.html

Of course, the bigger news is that we still need to wait :(

p.s. if you have signed up the "notify me" before it's gone, you might receive the notification someday.
[Nexus 4 General] thenext1:
So you mean that I can order a Nexus with my Italian credit card associated to an Italian bank account from the German play store, and send it to a German address? Or maybe it works only for greek credit cards?

I wonder if I can do the same thing on the french play store...

Edit: I hope not, but maybe your order can get cancelled by a play store rep in a few days time?
[Nexus 4 General] spidr:
for some reason google play Germany, accepts a credit from another country only when u add it, in the google wallet, select the specified country ex here Germany and then add the correct billing information of the card of the other country.

Apparently it seems that the electronic payment system is not tracking all the data in the billing information needed to identify the cardholder. Those data are absolutely private and cannot be tracked from the seller!! Google play is recognising the card only by the field country. Basically the billing information is handled by google secure payment system and the bank, this means that google is trying to trick those who are not living in Germany..

But you have to have a correct shiping address within Germany or they probably cancel your order!
[Nexus 4 General] TobiS87:
Just got my shipping mail. Hoorray! :D
[Nexus 4 General] thenext1:
Sorry but I didn't understand, do I have to have 2 credit cards, one german and one of my country?

If you can you explain how do I do with a single foreign (italian) credit card, I'd be the most grateful.

thanks
[Nexus 4 General] Intruder7s:
Simple....add your credit card to the google wallet account normally as you would in any other website. BUT....instead of putting your real billing country, put the country of the playstore you are going to choose to order from. It has to be the same country with the shipping address.

Thanks all :D
[Nexus 4 General] thenext1:
I read somewhere in an italian forum that some people had their Wallet account locked by google, while doing a similar trick to buy a Nexus 7 (don't know if it was the same trick 'cause the topic was 300+ pages long).

Did anyone of you 2 place an order already?

Meanwhile thank you very much for the information, I'll try this evening in the french play store.
[Nexus 4 General] Intruder7s:
Personally no I did not tried yet. My wallet and account are set up though but I'm waiting for Nexus 4 16gb availiability in order to....order and test myself!

However many others have already tried this method ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1978281 ) and it has worked.

I know it so I am just passing you guys the information.

Cheers :D
[Nexus 4 General] Apfelschale:
So, like many others mine's finally shipped today and I expect it to be here by tomorrow.

Reminder to everyone, don't forget that you'll needing a micro-sim, almost forgot about that and ordered one just today. :)

Also there's a relatively cheap Qi-charging pad available on Amazon right now, for those interested
[Nexus 4 General] thenext1:
Hmm... it was confirmed working by just one person (and he's not answering about it being delivered or not), and another one said it didn't work for him.
[Nexus 4 General] t0n:
so the US guys got new orders in but it says it will take 1-2 weeks to ship, I guess we can expect the same from Germany
[Nexus 4 General] bokagavrilov:
wow great and seems it is already sold out also (i just read that on appy geek) in less then half hour
[Nexus 4 General] Alwyna:
Congrats dude, my phone was shipped from Nürnberg Feucht so i will get it tomorrow for sure.

I just bought this Qi pad, though i found it in the accessories sub forum where they talk about such pads.

For the micro-sim, there are some tutorials on youtube how to cut your old "normal" sim card to a micro-sim. gonna give it a try tomorrow.

i added a template for cutting it (it's not from me but i forgot who created it, sorry for this), maybe someone wants to do it, too.
[Nexus 4 General] freeintruth:
Guys, check this out: on the google play store, it says this: Google Play is currently experiencing very high traffic. Nexus 4 is not sold out and will still be available for purchase. Please try again shortly. Thank you for your patience.
[Nexus 4 General] spidr:
you are not tricking anyone, just this rule of google play is 100% wrong, its like that they dont like your money, for example i could be a german and have my money for example in swiss.

The billing information is for the confirmation of the cardholder and the bank and not information used by google play store, its absolutely private data!

so this means that the country field in the billing infromation is exploited by google.
[Nexus 4 General] Razer(x):
Hi everybody, can anybody buy a bumper case for me when it comes out?
[Nexus 4 General] xUniverse:
yes i can :)
[Nexus 4 General] thenext1:
Rules are google's rules and you should comply with them. We can try and avoid them nevertheless. :cyclops:

As for the cardholder identification, they should at least be able to see where the credit card comes from. They're not the regular barebones shop that redirects you to the bank server for payment. Google IS the bank in this case, much like Paypal. (All this is IMHO.)

Anyway, in the Billing Information where I should enter my data, the country is locked to France. How can this be correct?
[Nexus 4 General] Intruder7s:
Did you try changing it?

Because when I added my card and shipping address, the country field seemed locked but I could actually change it.
[Nexus 4 General] thenext1:
I don't know which page you are referring to, I'm referring to the popup that comes up when you click "Continue" from the cart page to checkout.

There, in both the Billing Address form (top one) and Shipping Address form (bottom one, shown when you un-tick the option), the Country field looked non changeable and was set aside from the other editable fields. I didn't click it though.

So you're saying that the Country field in the Billing Address read Greece in your case?

Anyway I'll retry tomorrow with a new google account, it's too late to think now.

Thank you.
