Well stay on that F5 key at 8 because the US may have more stock but I'm pretty sure you will have more people in line to order!!
[Nexus 4 General] osugsxr:
Heard the US already sold out, so I wouldn't bother trying. :rolleyes:

still debating on this, keep iphone 4s or make the switch to android again. Custom roms and constant flashing? :D
[Nexus 4 General] tawfiqmp:
They need to release this already. I'm tired of waiting goddamnit.

[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
It hasn't even gone on sale yet
[Nexus 4 General] glenroebuck:
from all reports - the web site was slow, crashing and overwhelmed for UK ordering - some people said by the time they got to the second screen to confirm the phone was sold out. This could be messy.

Guess we should all just wait and order in a couple weeks! :eek: ...sarcasm

[Nexus 4 General] t-mizzle:
Ultimately, the phone is worth waiting for but that's no excuse. Why did they not anticipate the impact of their own phone? Seriously, how do you put together a $299 package with 2GB RAM, S4Pro CPU, with all the goodness the Nexus lineup means and then act like no one will buy?

Google Now would have done better than Google now did.

Google Now "Hmm, I am getting 500k signups on the "notify me" availability. I better get at least half of that units for inventory. I will fulfill the orders chronologically until I run out of items to ship"
[Nexus 4 General] Zurginator:
To be fair, the launch date was probably set after production ramped up anyways. Once they got all those notifications, there was literally nothing they could do besides push the date back a few months and build up more stock --- which is pointless.
[Nexus 4 General] Majin GeoDooD:
Ordered mine at 11:35 EST on the the 13th and still no shipping info.. still says estimated for the 15th :/
[Nexus 4 General] gunnersslash:
Got order at 08:45 PST and now my order is backordered? Damn e-commerce is something that google needs to improve
[Nexus 4 General] joeski27:
You know, as sad as this is, I think the folks at Google (the supposed masters of cutting edge global software, data sharing and communication) should get together with the techs from behind Ticketmaster's site, because last time I checked, I've never heard of TM overselling a concert or sporting event :eek:
[Nexus 4 General] mprziv:
I feel really bad for everyone who is getting screwed here.

I totally lucked out, ordered mine at 11:35 AM on Tuesday. It shipped out today via UPS from KY and is scheduled for delivery here in FL tomorrow.

You know you've done poorly when someone suggests partnering with Ticketmaster would improve your service.
[Nexus 4 General] frankied22:
At this point I am just assuming my order is lost and I will receive my phone within three weeks. I ordered at 11:34 AM EST, and I got no confirmation email, no shipping email, and UPS MyChoice isn't pulling up anything. It's pretty sad. The people who got confirmation emails and shipping notifications seem to be just randomly drawn.
[Nexus 4 General] dwd3885:

[Nexus 4 General] t-mizzle:
Absolutely agree. Yet the "$299 super phone" concept was screaming inventory issues the entire time since it was spawned. Granted, LG surely wasn't motivated to produce units that sell for $200 less than their own Optimus G.

Also, the quantity is not the only issue, the way they handled what little inventory they had was clumsy at best.

Besides minor annoyance, I won't hold a grudge with Google but this is their 4th phone but for their own good, they can't afford these mistakes anymore. To top it off, only few days ago, Google got bold and started trials on same day delivery in several cities. Why bother with advanced options, they obviously still can't even handle more "pedestrian" processing & shipping methods.
[Nexus 4 General] MusicMan374:

[Nexus 4 General] MusicMan374:
It really irritates me actually that they didn't go in chronological order of time order was placed in shipping orders. It really ****s over lots of people who got in the door early, like me. I really hope that no news is still good news, because I really can't wait for monday. I already sold my current phone and shipped it out yesterday to an ebay buyer :( Does anyone know if UPS delivers on Saturdays? I know it's not a business day so it's not guaranteed but it's a possibility.

[Nexus 4 General] Lo0o0nG:
I ordered 2, both got backordered.. tried to cancel online, get an email saying it cannot be cancelled cause the order has been completed..

makes no sense..
[Nexus 4 General] TheFiveDots:
That has nothing to do with it, really. LG was motivated to produce whatever they contractually agreed to with Google because a) they will likely make a significant sum of money from doing so since many units will be sold and Google is likely the party taking the hit on the margin, and b) they would be penalized heavily for failing to meet quotas.

LG wasn't forced to do anything. It's obvious Google accepted tenders for the project and LG came at them with the best device at the best price and right quantity and time commitments.

Bottom line is this Google contract is probably worth more to LG than the Optimus G is and ever will be.
[Nexus 4 General] aceo07:
Their system was probably designed by a software developer.. without much (or any) experience in retail.

Not being able to cancel an order after 1 hour is a sign of inexperience on the design/development team.

If I can't cancel it, it should mean that it's going to be shipped out that same day. Otherwise, it should be able to be cancelled.
[Nexus 4 General] MusicMan374:
Agreed, being contracted by Google to produce a Nexus phone is a giant leap for any phone manufacturer. The Nexus 4 will probably boost LG's previously not-so-good reputation for android phones regardless of this god-forsaken ordering process. Prior the Optimus G, LG was never really a big name in the Android marketplace, and now they are going to be.
[Nexus 4 General] FLNexus:
to be fair, they ****ed over even more people by actually starting to sell the device earlier than what they said.
[Nexus 4 General] marsdta:
Normally no, unless you paid for Saturday delivery though its a lot pricier
[Nexus 4 General] glenroebuck:
11:34 A,M, EST on the 13th..16GB version. FU GOOGLE..
[Nexus 4 General] TheFiveDots:
Explain how? Looks like you're on the west coast and ordered about 30 minutes after it went live.
[Nexus 4 General] dubt17:
Just really bad with time zone conversions, thanks.
[Nexus 4 General] VictorNYC:
You are probably right .. Even if they only make 100 dollars out of each Nexus ever sold that might add up to be millions of units if it turns out to be a good phone ( and for that price it only needs to be good and not necessarily amazingly great ) as opposed to making 2 or 300 dollars of every other cellphone they make ( witch lets face it they will not amount to be that many even with the Optimus G) but in my own opinion this phone has the potential to be one of the best phones ever made right up there with the Sensation,N1,HD2, Desire etc etc

Artificial Intelligence is no match for natural stupidity....
[Nexus 4 General] TheFiveDots:
That, and the brand awareness they will generate along with the possibility of producing future Nexus devices.
[Nexus 4 General] t-mizzle:
Disagree on that. Google is not subsidizing their devices, these are razor thin margins. Nexus 4 will have to outsell the Optimus G in epic ratios while LG still tries to push the Optimus G. Was LG eager to get in the game? Definitely but if Google continues to push this price point, Samsung would rather sell 5 million SGS4 than 50mil of Nexus 5 even if Nexus enters the halo phone realm.
[Nexus 4 General] BigAtrain:
My order time says: November 13, 2012 9:47:45 AM UTC-8

According to some research that would actually be 3:47 am central time. Not sure how that is possible.
[Nexus 4 General] VictorNYC:
Right ! Almost overnight LG has become a household name here when just a few weeks ago they were pretty much an after thought and I know not everyone on the planet it's an XDA member but most of us do influence what our friends consider when they wanna upgrade...

Artificial Intelligence is no match for natural stupidity....
[Nexus 4 General] Grendizer_1:
Sent an E mail to a rep. and that was his reply :silly:

Hello Omar,

Thanks for writing back. We are working to ship all items in your order as quickly as possible within the 3 week time frame You will receive an email confirmation as soon as your order is processed and on it's way. Im sorry its going to take a little longer than we thought. The device was a higher seller then expected.
[Nexus 4 General] MusicMan374:
Central time is UTC-6... Therefore it would be 11:47 Central... Don't know what kind of research you're doing sir :silly:
[Nexus 4 General] TheFiveDots:
Is there any official information available as to how much each unit costs and how much Google is handing over to LG for them?

Long-term is irrelevant in my eyes anyways. Google wants their iPhone and I'd be very surprised if they weren't already working to absorb and use Motorola in this capacity under the Nexus brand.
[Nexus 4 General] VictorNYC:
True not even Google works for free, they might not make much but at least they make enough to break a little above even.. My guess is Nexus 4 has already outsold the OG and we are still weeks away from x-mass.. I'm sure Samsung wants no part of it now as they already have stablished a brand name selling millions of units with out having to justify the huge price difference between products..

Artificial Intelligence is no match for natural stupidity....
[Nexus 4 General] BigAtrain:
Ah ok. I was looking at the utc time zone and not factoring in the -8 and -6
[Nexus 4 General] MusicMan374:
At this point, I think Google's biggest concern is a law suit against them from Apple for violating their patent on botched product launches :cool:
[Nexus 4 General] t-mizzle:
No, there is no verified info there, that's just my opinion I based on few observations. If Google was subsidizing the handset, LG would sell the Nexus 4 for the same price as in Play Store.
[Nexus 4 General] Apocaliptic:
Mine already has shipped and is in New Jersey. Delivery is for late tomorrow. Now that I'm reading that many got their orders on backorder I consider myself lucky. They didn't learned nothing from nexus 7 launch.
[Nexus 4 General] richteralan:
Apple hasn't patented that yet because Apple didn't had a fail launch.
[Nexus 4 General] Freshly_Snipes:
Was I out of line guys?? This was my reply to the follow-up email Google rep sent me. he told me to email him today if my package didn't ship by end of BD today. My shipping day was the 15th. Read below.

Shipping estimate: November 15, 2012

To: googleplay-sup.

Hi Jason,

As we spoke about last time, unfortunately my product has not been updated. Many customers are receiving "back order" emails..While this is not the case with my order I am uncomfortable with the lack of transparency from Google's end. I understand this is not your fault. However this is a business and I have over $400+ tied up in this and I refuse to not be communicated with while I wait for them to assume control. The same way I stayed up for a day and half waiting on Google to NOT even give users the respect to give a launch time or answers to whats going on with users packages. This is irresponsible and I will be filing a complaint with the BBB (Better Business Bureau). However, I digress, I do not wish to cancel I simply want a direct answer pertaining to my own package. Not a indirect statement. I will no longer accept this.

I however would like my shipping refunded. This should be a courtesy for the lack of communication on Google's end. Delivery within 2 business days. = (The transit time begins the first full shipping day after the package leaves your facility.) However this is not means to ship whenever you feel like it without any answers to the payee.

Here is my shipping information as shown in Google Wallet.

Your order has been sent to Google Inc..

Google Inc. is responsible for charging and shipping your order. Have questions? Contact Google Inc..

Item

Price

Nexus 4 (16GB) - The next generation phone. Thin, light, and designed for Google Play.

$19.99

Shipping (Two Day):

I am excited about this device coming to me. I do not wish to cancel. However I would like the item I paid for under the pretense and time of delivery I expected at time transaction was tendered. If some transparency is given I would feel totally different. If this has to be forwarded to you supervisor then by all means please do so if you can not assist me. I look forward to your communication and thank you.

[Nexus 4 General] lowrider262:
off topic a little bit... since I'm now officially part of the three-week club:banghead: I picked up a Huawei Mytouch 2 Q off craigslist for $90 to hold me over till my N4 comes. its weird being back on gingerbread lol (my last device was a gnex) I forgot how unpolished & choppy it is. but the phone is actually pretty nice, its got a gig of ram and single core 1.4 snapdragon. its too bad there's like zero dev support for this thing... I'm sure it would run at least ICS like a champ.
[Nexus 4 General] Ranguvar:
Just talked to a representative who had this to say.

The case right now is the server glitched out from the constant refreshing and Google ended up with far more orders than they had devices.

They said three weeks to be conservative, but the vast majority of people who got a backorder note _are_ on backorder.

Devices are coming into Google in small amounts daily, and we'll see some of the people on backorder get tracking numbers each day.

They are doing this by time ordered, as they did with backorder emails (IN GENERAL).

Obviously any of this could end up wrong, but he sounded fairly confident.

So this should still apply, just for shipment in the coming days/weeks:
[Nexus 4 General] MusicMan374:
LOL single core.
[Nexus 4 General] lowrider262:
yea I know, but for $90 almost brand new I couldn't pass it up. ill just resell it for $150 when my N4 arrives:thumbup: honestly its still pretty fast tho

FYI ...... I received the back order email today. Wallet status is pending and play store is shipping the 15. But I just received a my UPS email that my NEXUS 4 is on it's way on 2ND day air . JUST HANG IN THERE.
[Nexus 4 General] BigAtrain:
You have given me some hope. Hanging on til after midnight to see what shipping status is
[Nexus 4 General] Koshuu:
This is the first good news I've heard today, I'm stuck in limbo like a few others with no word either way about my order. No shipping email and no back order email. Seems like the more items you place in a single order the slower it'll all go. :confused:
[Nexus 4 General] fullmetal2k:
I hope I would be in the same boat since I can't get an email from UPS since I'm using my work address and won't let me add a commercial building to it, and my play store status still says shipping on Nov 15 2012 and my wallet status still at pending. So hoping that when i arrive to work tomorrow afternoon my phone would be there.

[Nexus 4 General] d4ft:
If we don't cancel our order, isn't it only natural to see the pending status on Google Wallet till the thing ships? IMO, I don't think the play store account is updated in a timely fashion and I don't think it should be trusted. I got the BO email even though i had confirmation emails like some of the others. As of now, I don't think anything else is reliable. Just gotta pray for a little more patience :D
[Nexus 4 General] otariq:
Curious as to where u live and what time did u buy ur phone
[Nexus 4 General] kayateia:
I did the same thing. D: I was hoping I could get it shipped to work and receive it there instead of having it sit on my porch all day, but I think that may not have been a good choice ^^;
[Nexus 4 General] Nimche:
Eventho the first package was shipped today, but UPS label is dated for Nov 14 which is yesterday. I got an email early in the morning from Play store (which is Nov 15) so I think you should be getting an email after mid-night up to early morning if you have a package, I hope you do.
[Nexus 4 General] joshyy_rey:
Got the back ordered email. Canceled the order, had my doubts... Snagged a 16 off Craigslist from someone for $410 off craigslist from a member. NICEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. now im excited again :good:
[Nexus 4 General] One3OneKing:
Heres yet another "I called Google Play and spoke to a CSR story"

Just got off the phone with Eric or Erick or Erik (who knows), he kinda seemed like he was trying to rush me which was unlike any of the other people I've talked to. Anywayz, I told him I placed an order, it says shipping Nov. 15 and that I had no shipping email. I omitted the fact that I got a backorder email bc I'm cool like that and figured if it mattered he'd ask, he didn't. He said that they are really behind in sending out emails about shipping to people which would eplain why most people are getting correspondence from UPS before Google. He said they are working throughout the night to send out emails to everyone and they have quite a few to get through. Again he never asked whether or not I had a back order email. Since many people received that email and also ended up getting shipping emails I think there is still hope for many people, obviously not all. I'm not too optimistic as I placed a order at 12:49 Eastern Time. But who knows. Anybody place an order around that time get a shipping email?
[Nexus 4 General] lyricez:
Really, you don't think their N4 is back ordered? lol
[Nexus 4 General] joshyy_rey:
They have shipping info....and tracking...im not retarded.....
[Nexus 4 General] John Anderton:
Why can't I just order mine and it'd say it will be delivered by a certain date based on the number of orders and the rate at which phones are made available to them? :(

Why do I have to keep viewing an out of stock page and check everyday if the phone is available for sale.. everyone knows the notify thing doesn't work on time :P
[Nexus 4 General] varshil:
I had a talk with google rep. She said that google will roll out shipments to every blackordered person day by day. Even today many people will get their shipments who had received backorder emails.. So dont wrry.. Nw its on your luck!!
[Nexus 4 General] blocke:
I'm yet another person in limbo right now. I managed to nail it in the first five minutes of order opening and have yet to get any message one way or another since the initial receipt. Tried the email form and just got sent a precanned email saying it would ship by last evening... Yeah... That's helpful.

Called the toll free number for ****s and giggles. Wait time was under a minute. Rep gave a hurried line about UPS being the party to send out the shipped emails and that UPS was behind and to give them morning to get through it all. Lawls.
[Nexus 4 General] BravoMotorola:

No shipping email. I ordered 11:45am EST, about 15 minutes after it started. Nexus 4 16GB.

I secretly hope it's just slowness on getting shipping emails out and it'll arrive tomorrow, but realistically it probably hasn't shipped yet.

I ordered within 5 minutes of the sale going live and I still haven't heard anything. Like you, I hope I get surprised and mine arrive tomorrow.

Edit: I ordered to 8GB. Does it seem to make a difference weather you ordered one or more?
[Nexus 4 General] BiDuSoft:
It does. If you check the survey, most people who haven't heard anything from Google yet are the people who ordered multiple sets.
