Nexus 4 - Official - JUST ANNOUNCED $299 off contract [Merged]

[THE JUICEMAN]

Happy I got one! Who knows maybe it won't sell out like the other countries. Says delivery for November 15th. Didn't give me a shopping option.

I'm pretty happy I got one, and I don't think I could have prepared more.

I had several Macs running my scripts to check the site, each of which both texted and emailed me when they should have.

I had a browser over cellular on my iPhone. I had a browser on my Chromebook over my office's public wifi. I had a browser on my desktop over my work's internal network (different ISP). I had a browser on my Mac at home, accessed remotely.

When my phone lit up like Christmas, I was on the site immediately. The Chromebook was used (seems appropriate), but only because it showed "available" first of the 4 options. It took me 4 tries before I succeeded.

I went back to try to score a bumper (just in case) but it didn't work, and I didn't care enough to try more than a few times.

Assuming it arrives before I leave next Wednesday, I am very happy indeed.

now the question becomes...when can we get that charging orb.

 

[THE JUICEMAN]

Looks like the play store is crashing. I can do anything now.

 

[strausd]

Tried ordering. Kept getting errors so I tried on both an 8GB and 16GB to see which one got through first. Only ever got errors for the 8GB, never got an "Order placed page", only errors. However, I got through on the 16GB and got a confirmation page. But my Google Wallet only shows the 8GB, which I never actually got through too. I will need to call Google.

Your script worked perfectly, thank you very much! Google Play, not so much.

For anyone interested, the 8GB version can now be ordered in Canada. Still waiting for the 16GB version to be available.

I ordered my 16GB in Canada at 11:37 EST. I checked back about five minutes later and only the 8GB was available. You may be out of luck for now for the 16.

Keep checking the site though. Other countries would have units become available later as people corrected orders that were placed in error for quantity or wrong model.

You never know. Good luck!

 

[strausd]

Ok my 16GB is showing up in Google wallet, but so is the 8GB. How do I delete the 8GB order? Do I need to call Google?

 

[rillrill]

alright. my first android device. i'm super stoked. ios has been such a pain lately, and my iphone 4 is soooo slow. it wasn't slow when i bought it. i just dig el goog's philosophy more than apple's these days.

 

[Pjstock42]

LOL now back to saying "coming soon" after I spent 20 minutes trying to check out on 3 different browsers, phone and tablet.

This is a joke.

 

[THE JUICEMAN]

Wow I guess I was wrong. Sold out 16 GB.

 

[waloshin]

Sold to out within seconds.

 

[riveting]

Checkout a few times and always get some error and could not complete, now it is OOS. This is in Canada. This is like boxing day in Canada or Black Friday sales in the US

Really! Even the 8GB is gone now. I'll be patient though.

"Error processing order"

"problem with your credit card purchase"

I guess Google doesn't want my money.

Good luck, and I hope you score one. What a mess, huh?

Edit: just saw the update... as mentioned, just call. I'm sure they'll be happy to put one back into play (pun intended).

 

[Tinmania]

Had to go with just the 8GB! Oh well, my order has been placed!!!

after several tries I was able to grab 2 8GB

one will go to eBay for sure

 

[daveathall]

I missed it here (UK), bit disappointed, will have to wait for the next batch.

 

[paolo-]

Damn... I was sure it would go up at noon EST, missed the window. For me (Canada site), it still says coming soon (never changed from 11h50 to now, 12h10). Anyhow, I just hope we can start pre-ordering soon.

I tried this link:
http://support.google.com/googleplay/bin/request.py?hl=en&contact_type=devices_cancel_order&rd=1

But the 8GB is still showing up in Google wallet. If it gets shipped to me, I will just sell it on ebay for the same price I paid and avoid the restocking fee.

 

[Pjstock42]

Google dropped the ball on this one big time, what an embarrassment.

I have owned every iPhone since 2007, I tried for an hour to GIVE you my money to convert me but your piece of **** system couldn't handle it.

Completely turned off to the Nexus 4 now.

 

[Vitrum]

No luck, everytime i add to cart it say is empty

 

[strausd]

Lookin good!

Maybe now somebody else can get one

 

[Tinmania]

Now showing "coming soon" for even 8GB now here for me. I hope my order got through, looks like I was right at the wire. Damn conference call!!!

Can't believe I missed out on the 16GB. Oh and I couldn't even get my 8GB order to go through until I removed the bumper.

Edit: Still no email notification.
