I think you mean cool and dry. Poor thing overheats easily, it seems. I've already ordered an IcePack case for mine, with the liquid nitrogen add-on canister. With luck, it'll get iPhone 3GS speeds or better when the sun isn't beating down on it.

not fighting, he is just choosing to ignore the process i've pointed out as to why his item hasn't shipped yet. he then immediately likes his own posts lol

How quaint.

I have gone a little farther than that though. A few hours under the knife and when I awoke you could barely tell the cooling tubes were there; imbedded just far enough under the skin to remain unseen--yet still effective whether for icy handshakes or some N.O.V.A. 3 action on my N4.

well today isn't over is it?

go back and read your comments to my posts. you still haven't acknowledged what i said. you still don't understand the process after it's been spelled out over and over again.

btw, quit liking ur own posts also.

2 days = 48 hours, no? Or are you going to try and say that Google has a separate process for calculating the length of a day?

I understand what you are saying. But the only thing I have to compare it to is Amazons 2 day shipping. And this is nothing like that. I understand that it is different. But in my opinion, Google should have done a better job clarifying. This whole 2 day shipping and 3-5 day estimate has caused a lot of confusion among many people who ordered the Nexus 4. That is a fact.

And you haven't acknowledge my question about what I did to get such rude behavior from you.

In all fairness, Amazon Prime is two-day shipping, but not everything leaves that day. Most does, yes, but Prime doesn't buy you guaranteed 2 day delivery... it buys you 2 day shipping, which is more often than not 2 day delivery simply because Amazon has most stuff in stock and is extremely efficient. Also, they tell you when it won't ship that day when you order, which manages expectations. Google kinda sorta tells you ("3-5 days") but then confuses it ("two day delivery"). Amazon tells you the same stuff, but more clearly.

UPS is finally showing my info. As expected it is leaving out of Louisville, KY. :)

It's only an origin scan at 1:15PM. No other info.

you are battling me once again. next time i won't share. I even explained how amazon works also....and again you still don't seem to get it.

if you order on amazon at 9pm at night are you going to get the item the next day since you paid for overnight delivery?

exactly. but.....i even spelled it out to him right from the google site and he still doesn't choose to understand.

"Shipping time

All packages are delivered via UPS two-day shipping. However, please note that it may take up to 2 business days for us to process your order for shipment. Once your order has been shipped, you will receive an email notification with a UPS tracking number. Your estimated time of delivery will be determined at the point that your order has been processed and shipped. It may take 24 hours for the UPS package tracking to return any information for your tracking number."

you can only explain things so many times to people lol

That is what i'm thinking. Unless by stroke of luck they went out next day.

Given that mine's not even showing up - still - I'm planning on Monday. And we both know they won't go out next-day... although, if you're lucky, you can still get some UPS stuff overnight, depending on where you live.

Edit:

"Louisville, KY, United States 11/15/2012 1:41 P.M. Origin Scan"

At least that's something.

For amazon if you order by 6:00pm you will get it the next day. If it is a prime eligible item and you pay a whopping $3.99 for shipping...free 2 day shipping though, and that sometimes still comes the next day.

What took you so long? Mine was 11:33:08 est. Slacker.

You'll get the phone. Their notifications just suck.
