Getting the BOEOD (Back Order Email Of Death as someone stated before which i found hysterical) was like opening a present and then having a huge fist with a boxing glove come out of it and crushing you in the face ...... The two feelings are synonymous lol
[Nexus 4 General] joshyy_rey:
Welpppppp. anyone is Atlanta has an extra. Im buying! lol
[Nexus 4 General] Richieboy67:
I got back ordered to guys.. I will never buy another Google product. I feel like a fool missing work, staying up all night all for nothing.

Upper management at Google should be ashamed at how they made customers run threw hoops for nothing..

Think its fair to say that those with tracking numbers should just stay out of this thread, you're only gonna annoy/anger all the people that are being backordered...especially since they're already frustrated, of course if your intent is to troll then troll on but be prepared to be reported and infracted upon.
[Nexus 4 General] ifailprettyhard:
Call

I got the email for back order but then i called Google and ask to see if my order was going to be delay for 3 weeks and they told me that no it was fine and i should expect a tracking today or tomorrow.
[Nexus 4 General] bowenac:
Yea your right it took them 3 days to realize they sold to many...
[Nexus 4 General] Lo0o0nG:
They have no idea what they're talking about.. If you call again someone will tell you something different.

[Nexus 4 General] abo.saud:
I won't be that upset if people ordered their device 8:30 got shipping email and who ordered it on 9:30 got the back-orders emails

But when I see the opposite happening THAT'S DRIVE ME CRAZY HOW BIG COMPANY LIKE GOOGLE COULD DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS

by the way I am waiting for the back-orders email since I didn't recive a tracking # yet
[Nexus 4 General] jmtracey:
Talked to Josh with Google support, wasn't the nicest and wouldn't pull up my account until asking a third time, but he did manage to tell me both my 16s were on back order after I got just one back order email.. One I ordered at 11:34 am est and the other at 1:47 pm est. Really sucks to see no matter what time you ordered doesn't guarantee a phone lol...

I was told by a representative that

everyone

who ordered Nexus 4's got the backordered email. He also said that only those who ordered 2+ devices could be waiting longer. I'll probably call back tomorrow if mine hasn't shipped yet and ask for more details regarding my order.
[Nexus 4 General] Nimche:
You guys need to chill. I updated on tracking number since I believe this mass email has gone to everyone + my phone is not shipped and got same notice.

Like everything else in the last few days, we just have to sit and see what happens next. For sure, its not a good feeling.

I ordered 5 minutes after sale was open in the US and got the same email of delaying. Are they shipping any 16GB at all or they are off invoice number?
[Nexus 4 General] jjcore:
Lol good luck finding a surface there
[Nexus 4 General] outz:
that sucks bro. I ordered 3 mins before you and received tracking info. it just left Louisville. what a crazy launch this was.
[Nexus 4 General] Richieboy67:
I would not really care so much if I did not make sure I was online to order, stay up all night, take a day off, etc.. I feel like Google made fools of us. We all knew it would sell like crack.. How could Google not know? That is pure bull****..

Bumper. I buy stuff from Amazon with Prime, I get stuff delivered on Saturday, yet with Google, I contacted UPS and Google, no one seems to be able to help me out.

I can't even pick it up at the local warehouse on Saturday night.

I hate how it's going to sit in a container for two days, 10 miles from my house...
[Nexus 4 General] N!ghtgold:
Just got off the phone with Google. The rep was actually able to look up my account to let me know if I would get the back ordered email he told me no... He also stated that corp said that if you dont have the email by now then you are in the clear and your device will be sent out tonight.. Woot Woot!!! D

[Nexus 4 General] espionage724:
Yea true, but in my case, I highly doubt there will be stock still around by Friday :/

I'd even be surprised if it was still in stock by 12:30PM :p (I have to run and do some stuff in like 20 minutes).

I'll just leave this here again :)

Google sales reps are right now enjoying donuts and coffee....getting ready for the day. The webmaster who flips the switch on the BUY option right now has Boston Creme on his fingers. Our phones are the tables which are hosting this Dunkin Extravaganza!

Went to bed with auto refresh plus page monitor running, speakers full blast. Woke up freaking out thinking I missed it. Frantically jumped out of bed and checked, realizing it hadn't gone up yet. Fist pumped and started making coffee.

Hang in there.....The probably have a larger supply than if we were getting tickets for a concert. I am optomistic!

BTW -- The T-Mobile SIM (I too have one but did not activate it as of yet) is a full size SIM card. I think we need to get a micro-sim cutter to make it fit in the phone.

I'll be using an ATT full size SIM; as far as the reading goes, you should be able to exacto knife it, right? And if the thickness is a problem, just sand it down a bit. Anyone have any actual experience with converting a full SIM down to micro?

For those talking about missing out on insurance look up squaretrade. They have insurance for 8bucks a month or 125 (both have100 deduct able). Plus they will have a 40% off deal on black Friday. They give you thirty days to from the purchase date to add the insurance so you have time in case you miss out today

Oh yeah data is consistently fast pretty much anywhere you go (faster than AT&T 3G) but LTE is supers fast in NYC I have an AT&T iPhone 5 company cell phone that just beats up my Verizon LTE iPad by a wide margin all the time BUT my personal T-Mobile GS3 was PLENTY fast for anything I ever did and I found that was the device I would go to the most ( screen size iPad was to big iPhone too small )

Girlfriend just got off the phone with Google:

okay she said that if we got just that one email it does mean it is for both phones, but since they are two different orders, one could get here tomorrow and the other till next week or something but yeah, and that the money is just on a hold they haven't actually deducted it and you can cancel too..
[Nexus 4 General] nosenuggets45:
I wouldn't get too excited. I talked to a rep and she specifically said that my phone was on the way, shipped, but I just had not received the UPS email since the system was backed up.... Though I did just receive the back-ordered email...
[Nexus 4 General] Phrankeeh:
I didn't get one as of yet.
[Nexus 4 General] TheMuffStuff:
Just got the back order email, woot.
[Nexus 4 General] djkinetic:
Point is that theres no need for you to update where your phone is, you posted earlier yours is in transit great for you and everyone else that has theirs shipped, but for everyone else thats backordered or sitting in limbo, they could careless that yours is on its way, and seeing proof that yours is, is only going to antagonize and aggravate those who are still waiting and hanging in limbo, plain and simple whether you are or arent intentionally taunting, your post brings with it that effect, as its basically flying in the face of others in limbo. As such just be happy you're getting yours and leave those who arent as fortunate be. BTW I am chill, i've been through enough launches to know its never ever smooth...but its still not any less frustrating to see how the process unfolded.

[Nexus 4 General] cbutters:
somehow I think that the people answering the phones at google don't actually have access to view or see or do much of anything... they just answer the phones and repeat the same crap, doesnt matter who's order it is. they probably have a 3rd party fulfillment company doing the actual fulfilling and only have the ability to submit addresses to ship to.

Back-Order Email

It'd be nice to try and nail down when everyone got the back-order email (BOE).

I haven't gotten it. My order time was 8:34 est, but it's pretty obvious at this point that order time didn't mean anything relative to who got one this round.

I would think that not getting the BOE yet is a good sign, especially if most people who did get the BOE got it around the same time (that not being the case would muck up this theory). The other option is that if you haven't gotten a shipping confirm yet, then you are likely back-ordered. The problem I see with that is that it seems the majority of people haven't gotten either email yet and for all of those people to be back-ordered would be surprising. Or maybe they still have BOEs and shipping confirms to send out.
[Nexus 4 General] min2209:
:( I've been hitting refresh all morning but still nothing changed.

Still says >>> UPS could not locate the shipment details for your request. Please verify your information and try again later.
[Nexus 4 General] Phrankeeh:
Free bumpers would help with the frustration... if we ever get them...
[Nexus 4 General] crawlgsx:
I just called support and the rep I talked to said that is a good thing. I'm still skeptical, but he claims I am in the good and should get a tracking # any time, that I am on the "not backordered" list, it just hasn't left the warehouse yet.
[Nexus 4 General] USSENTERNCC1701E:
The Nexus 4 is a lie. Why would I want a bumper case for a phone that I'll never get :silly:
[Nexus 4 General] Acuity:
I didn't get the back order email either. My Google Wallet says the purchase has completed, Shipping estimate: November 15, 2012. The only e-mail I have received is confirming my order.

If I get back ordered, I will probably just cancel my order. Pushing this a month out puts us only about a month and a half away from the SGS4 rumored release.
[Nexus 4 General] siloner:
I ordered 3 at 3 separate times. i also got the BO email but am wondering if thats for all 3 devices or just one. Two devices are showing (My Account) estimated shipping dates (15 & 16) and the other device shows complete.

Great. I'm getting refunded for my shipping cost. Woohoo! :highfive: That shipping was ridiculously overpriced to begin with. $14! When I bought my Gnex back in July it was $10.50 and I thought I was getting a stick shoved up my ***.

Damn true at least i save $28
[Nexus 4 General] aphlipot:
How did you get them to do that?
[Nexus 4 General] 918273645ams:
Just called google. Again. I haven't received tracking number or backorder email. She said I was in the clear but I feel like every google rep says something different. She also said the backorder email was only sent to people who ordered multiple phones. But there are definitely people who have ordered only one and gotten the backorder email. I guess it's just a waiting game.
[Nexus 4 General] takgeun68:
No email from google, so I called and the rep told if I did not receive any email up until now, I should be good, for I should have received the back order email already. Thats bit calming but cannot be fully calm until I get the tracking number....
[Nexus 4 General] abo.saud:
Its obvious anyone didn't get any email till now will not get anything other than BOE

[Nexus 4 General] takgeun68:
Same here, but cannot fully trust, for I think none of them really knows whats going on exactly....
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
Saves me $28 at least. It better not take a full 3 weeks for them to send them out. Imma kick a baby if that happens
[Nexus 4 General] 918273645ams:
Probably won't. A lot of people are cancelling after receiving their backorder email. So less people to send phones out to. You'll probably get it a week and a half to two weeks later...
[Nexus 4 General] aphlipot:
I don't know where people got it in their heads that the device would ship same day. It says everywhere delivery in 3-5 business days, then you pay for 2 day shipping, I guess I'm just better at simple math.
[Nexus 4 General] Roxy:
That is what I've been told, too.

I ordered at 8:35am PST... so hopefully no email means that my order will be shipped out later today.
