Nobody knows but why the panic?
Its not gonna sell out on the first day, people thought this with the nexus 7 pre-order.
.... Yet all orders from the first WEEK were in the 1st wave of dispatches.

So were pre-orders for the Nexus 7 started at midnight?
I would think there to be a tremendous difference in demand between a lame ass 7" tab and a quad core 2gb mobile phone with the latest hardware priced insanely cheaper domestically than elsewhere. Insanely cheaper, period.
Never know but I don't expect the 16gb Nexus 4 to last 5min.

No preorders started as soon as Google io was finished

Well there ya go. Part of me didn't want to post it as to steer people away from bringing down the site, but meh, I'll be optimistic that Google has enough stock + demand isn't THATT high.

Why?
Only people who follow these tech sites know about the Nexus 4 here in the UK, no tv, radio, newspaper articles have been shown.
We also get stock from a totally different country to US orders.
For the mast majority, only people who go into an O2 store will know about it, and their stock differs from the playstore stock.

What does spam f5 mean and what kind of info should you have ready?
I have already bought stuff from the Google Play store so they have all my details. I figured I would just sign in well before midnight and when the Nexus 4 became available I would select it to buy.
Has anyone bought like a device on the first day available and would like to share what happened?

Assuming you're serious, spamming F5 means quickly and repeatedly pressing the F5 key on the keyboard, to constantly refresh the webpage in hopes of it letting you order the phone
I have never heard of that before even though I have been around computers since the 70's. Thanks for the clarification.
I thinking the UK is going to be the easier place to get a midnight order done. There have been no ads or whatever as someone in this thread has already said. Also, here in the UK the majority of people buy off contract phones so this one isn't going to be that different. But on the flipside in the US there is a massive LTE network that you wont be able to access and that will cut the amount down quite a bit. I'm guessing they will sell a lot but I don't see it selling out...... unless they start running ads after they open the site to orders.

I wouldn't bet or hold your breath on a midnight release, but who knows anything can happen.

Someone posted in the other thread that they called the play store and the lady on the other end told him to check back in 3 days...
Not sure we're going to get much surer than that.
Even if we do, I'd take it with a grain of salt.
I called last night at about 2AM EST and they told me the Nexus 4 would go on sale at 9AM PST.
Lo and behold, it was sold out by the time I got on and checked around 850AM PST.
:/
Google outed the order page at 830 AM PST, there was a timeframe of about 2 minutes before their servers got hit hard and flooded, I had my phone in cart 5 minutes after the page went live, and I couldnt complete the purchase for another half hr, before then it was errors and non responsive google wallet popups when trying to check out.

Same thing with me, I tried to purchase it at 11:40 EST time and it took a good 20 minutes before I could complete the order because of the google wallet errors.
Who knows, Google guy said they will be trying to get more stock "in the coming weeks".
You can never tell with paper launches...
I can see why they wouldn't do pre-orders with these stock levels though, there's no good way to handle tens of thousands of pre-orders if you are only getting a few hundred in stock. You could just ship according to order time (although they completely failed to do this with the N7) but then you might still have the problem of pre-orders waiting for weeks or months after shipping starts if stock is very limited.
LG is probably cranking out Optimus G's as fast as they can while having one or two people slowly assembling Nexus 4's in the corner....
Do you realize how everything you said is retarded?
You think they had a few hundred in stock?
You think LG is manufacturing more Optimus G than Nexus4?

Most people don't even know it exists, let alone were hammering the website to beat the rush. Tell me compared to iphone nuts how many people do you think were hammering Play store all night to buy them out so fast? I'll I doubt they even had a ten thousand for North America or a thousand for Canada. There's a reason Google will never release numbers. They could prove me wrong...
Somehow I suspect that the Bell's launch of the Optimus G here had as much or more stock as the Google had Nexus 4 in Canada.
Selling out in minutes when relatively few people were even trying to get one screams paper launch.

Seems consistent with my experience. I got in there within about 20 seconds of the page going up and just clicked through and completed the transaction - I was shocked that it actually worked. Obviously beating the news had a great deal to do with it (as did having wallet all set up).
I did notice the coming soon and in stock messages tended to go back and forth over the next 10-20 minutes. Maybe they had issues updating all their mirrors or something.
They should have set it up like:
no more than 2 phones per a google account. someone getting 10 orders of four phones is flat out wrong.
set up a que. you're assigned a number when you add the device to the cart and can make the purchase, using the rules above, when you're number is up.
seems pretty fair.

They really let people make multiple orders of several phones and suck up stock like that? What a mess.
Please people don't reward those jerks by buying the phones from them at inflated prices. Myself I hate buying 2nd-hand because you're asking for trouble if you need warranty service.
They should simply accept pre Orders!

I wonder if the stock is so limited that pre-orders would be an even bigger mess.
Doing it this way it will just be very hard to order one as stock trickles in. "OMG people it is flying off the shelves!"
With preorders it could be possible that it takes several weeks or even months to ship out all the preorders as stock comes in. In that case the rage and frustration would really boil over. "We are doing our best to fill orders *whimper*"

Preorders failed completely with the nexus 7 which is probably why they are trying something else. Unfortunately it still doesn't work.
At least with the 7 preorder you could actually place an order even though deliveries were then either delayed, sent to incorrect addresses or sent out last come first served.

Will the second batch of Nexus 4's sell out as quickly as the first batch did? I know we still have 2-3 weeks to wait until the second batch comes.
I very much doubt it. They got their "wow! nexus is so great it sold out in 20 minutes!!" PR. The next batch I bet will fulfil.

Oh well I hope . I'm planning on getting one in early December.
The way it sounds it seems like the majority of the second batch are gonna be used to fulfill the massive amount of back-orders that are pilling.
I hate how it's going to take 2-3 weeks because that means I have to continue using my G1. I wish it was 1 per customer because I'm seeing a trend of people who have purchased nexuses. Hopefully I'll be able to get one before that through T-Mobile...

This is just my guess, but with doing this online order starting at a certain time BS with the iPhone for years, yes, it will sell out fast. Or at least crash their site again, because what will happen is word will spread like wild fire on these sites and everyone will rush in to get one from round two. So in three weeks or so when Google opens ordering again, we'll see these same " damn, I couldn't get it ordered again" threads.
I sure hope I'm wrong and the next time things open up, we'll all get one....

I went up to T-Mobile today to ask them about it. The manager told me if you order one from their website you should have it by November 22nd. I wasn't planning on using my upgrade for it since it is so cheap off contract but now I am considering canceling my order (since I'm one of the back ordered people) and ordering one through T-Mobile for $150 cheaper...
to be honest I doubt next batch will sell out so fast.
People that didnt buy it the first time will either:
1. find alternative phone (here in UK you have nokia 920 with charging pad and some kind of headphones for £400 on PAYG)
2. will buy from phone carrier (for a bit extra)
This is people mentality, if something is popular or drives demand it will sell out straight away, those who didnt get it will do anything and everything to obtain it. Even if it means they have to pay extra premium on top of the retail price,
Both of those above factors will ease the demand for the phone, so I'm hoping I'll be able to order it in couple of weeks.
I bet they will be gone just as quick again. Will be January when stock is healthy.
But why the 3 week delay ? Did the Galaxy Nexus stock dry up completely last year, for a period of time ?

how long would it take to make a single phone seeing as they would have everything in the factory set-up to go.
My real worry would be if they have to go back one step and source all the parts first ,then it could be a long wait.If the factory is in full swing they must be able to make a few thousand a day surely
I would hope they could fill the back orders faster than the 3 weeks and then be on there way for new orders. Its not like they are making this from scratch the systems must be in place
anyway time will tell i suppose

That's what I'm saying but who knows how they really operate. I remember when the Wii first came out years back, it was years before you'd actually see one not sold in a store. More recently, when iPhone 4 was launched I stood inline at best buy at 4am, I did some recon the day before and a BB sales rep (at my local store) told me they only had 5 phones. I got one but its mind boggling when stores get so few of such a hot item. The N4 isn't really the same since they sold 1000's with in minutes but I hope they don't restock like apple and others do.

Yes, the second batch is supposed to be available in 2-3 weeks.
This is what I think will happen with the availability of the Nexus 4 after reading all of the posts:
Google will make sure to have MILLIONS of N4's in stock so they don't sell out again. Also, all the hype surrounding the Nexus 4 will die down. It's like that for every device. For example, whenever Crapple releases a new iCrap, they sell out very fast. After the initial excitement, the iCrap is much easier to get in the 2nd and 3rd batches. I think it will be similar but not exactly the same with the Nexus 4. Because of how many people were ordering N4's from the Play Store, the Play Store server crashed so many people who should be receiving first-batch Nexus 4's will not be getting it. The second batch of N4's is supposed to hit in around 2-3 weeks. While there will still be many people who will buy the device, there definitely won't be as many people as there were with the first batch. This is good for people who haven't bought their Nexus 4's yet. Google might also use some of the second batch to fulfill some of the pre-orders on the Nexus 4's that didn't go through. All in all, expect to be able to buy a Google Nexus 4 when it is available again.
Anyone else wondering what the numbers were for Google's initial stock were? I mean are we talking ten thousands, hundreds of thousands, or more?

Yeah, but in all likelyhood if I would've kept it they would've found out anyway. The funny thing is, it originally was shipped with UPS shurepost which I upgragged to UPS ground. The second one I got was also upgrated automatically. So I wonder if they shipped it out using the exact same shipping label. Maybe they would've never found out after all. But it'd be a ****ty thing for me to do to keep it

Good job OP.
Man screw that. I wouldnt have said a word... Karma doesnt affect business deals, only when you screw over a person.
I had a similiar issue with a Nexus 10. I had to exchange it so Google sent me an RMA, i sent it back and they said they never got it yet they sent me a new one when they were in stock.
Then refunded my money. So in essence, I got free Nexus 10 Tablet form Google.
The same people that hoard our data and then sell it without our knowledge or TRUE consent (yeah, Samsung does it too!) dont deserve the same rights that the shop keep down the street from me deserves.

It could be that there is an official agreement to allow carriers to sell most of the devices. Of course, if that were the case they never should have offered a Play Store pre-sale in the first place.

Its not moronic if that was the condition carriers wanted if they were to carrier the product. I'm pretty sure the men making these decisions know more than the all of us here. Not to mention they have access to numbers and info we don't to make such a decision.

tmobile nexus 4 and 5 was the same one from the play store nothing different. it still got the updates from Google. no bloat at all unless Google put it on there. I can't speak about the others. I am buying mine on the 12th from the tmo store and I am sure it will be the same one Google sends out.

This is one of two things I was worried about if I have to pick it up from T-Mo:
- 1) I just want to make sure the updates come from Google and not the carrier (T-Mo in this case). Especially since I will be paying all upfront for it since I am prepaid and don't want to sign up for a post paid plan. There's no sense in me having to wait for an update if I'm not tied to any sort of plan or carrier.
- 2) I would very much rather purchase directly from the Play Store if only for the GREAT 1-year hassle-free warranty coverage they have. I had to do a warranty exchange a few weeks ago on my N5, and whole procedure was absolutely painless. I had my replacement device in-hand the very next day.
So, as much as I would prefer to buy it from the Play Store, if the speculation that the majority of sales will be taking place through the carriers and the supply on the Play Store will be scarce, I would just want the T-Mo phone to be EXACTLY like the one they sell in the Play Store, with no carrier meddling/bloatware.
Google news for us in the uk then as long as there is a decent amount of stock as no carriers have listed it as exclusive to either O2, ee, Vodafone or three afaik

I'm really hoping the same thing doesn't happen in the U.K. with Stock issues
Hopefully its all under control by then, and they just put it on the site for sale and ship the same time as the US

1.) Same freaking phone no doubt about it. Its been said a billion times. Updates from google Tmobile bloat
2.) You get next day shipping with Tmobile if you have their insurance plan which I recommend as it extends it past the 1 year google offers.
