24 days for me... At least the phone is free.

How are you getting it for free?

Sprint gives one employee per store a free device, called the Advocate program.

10 days isn't too bad!
Other than the fact my Nexus will be turned off on the 24th and I'll be phoneless for about a week.
Reserved one through sprint, and one at RadioShack.

Are you kidding. Its real bad! I want it now. lol

I feel like it's been 2 weeks since I was saying "it's just 15 days." We still have 10 days to go. That's going to feel like a month

Wouldn't it be crazy if they pushed the date up like with the vibrant and captivate!

Some would be pissed, like those who planned enough time to save out of their paychecks. I'm covered, they could release it in 5 minutes and I'd be there. However, I have the 31st off of work, and want to make a day out of it.

I'm shacked up with the Shack for mines. Was also told by the store manager he's opening up at 6am.. Woo hoo...

OMG jealous!
I asked my radioshack when they are gonna open and said it "depends on when they get shipment." But i KNOW they will have the shipment by thursday night.
There was only one other reservation at my RS for the epic, but I'm still gonna be waiting out in front of my radioshack to open.

My pre-order shack should get them in Friday evening.
Manger said he would give me a call when they arrived so I'm hoping for Saturday activation.

Only 8 days now!
Grrrrrrr

I can't wait, I'm just not sure if I'll be able to fork over the cash on the 31st

7 days. Requested that day off work. I wish I had a time travel device right about now...

wish demand was higher to make for a Best Buy early opening. Gonna have to wait until after work to get it :-/

Having to wait through the day is gonna be horrible! :|
I might end up being late to my first class if they don't open early but it will be WORTH it, so I can have the phone to play with all day!

Was Google Play efficient for N7 pre-orders?

I definitely want to pre-order the N4 as soon as possible, but I don't know how Google are with shipping etc.
Did they ship before release date? How fast was shipping and how much did it cost?
I want to make sure I get it quickly, otherwise I'm stuck with a backup phone for a while...

They got shipped late, there was too few to satisfy demand and at one point they decided to send newly placed orders before earlier orders.
Delivery was a standard 2 working days think it was £9.99. They changed to overnight delivery due to the delays.
If you are brave here is the preorder shipping thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1737556
Based on the nexus 7 preorder I'd advise against it.
Edit
Forgot there was also problems in the UK with incorrect delivery address on a lot of them.

Thanks. Do you think other retailers with have it available for pre-order?

Also on the subject, when they say "available for order" on the 13th, does that mean 12:01am?
I'm in California, and wouldn't mind staying up to get my order in :victory:

Not likely to have Preorder.
From what I understand, the actual release date is Nov 13. It doesn't look like google will be doing a preorder for this one. That said, the N7 preorder went well for me, I grabbed it early and got it on a friday, knew some others who didn't get theirs until after the weekend.

i did the pre order for the nexus 7 and it went pretty well over all. there was a bit of a delay due to high demand but i dont hold that against them. got mine when they said i would. in perfect condition and have no defects or problems.

Ordered my n7 on the first day of pre-orders, didnt recieve it for quite a while, people who ordered after me got it first. But it was worth the wait
Still not gunna stop me ordering this!

Waited about a month to get my Nexus 7 16GB, meanwhile all local stores had it in stock and I couldnt cancel. So, I wouldnt say they were very efficient.

If the N7 preorder was slow and delayed, I have to think that this one will be even worse, there's plenty of buzz for the phone.

Why couldn't you cancel the order?

sold out in less than 20 Minutes

well, every half hour here in Australia I was refreshing the nex4 16gb store page, every half hour didnt really seem to be enough, because the 16gb version was sold out here in less than 20 minutes. what its going to be like for the rest of you guys, im not sure.
also for anyone that was relying on the email going out to notify you that its availabe, dont, I never got one!
just some info there for you guys.
Frustrated that i dont have a Nexus 4 though

Hmm. Maybe I should buy two and flip. Lol.

Like Tescos. Damn it.

time?
what time did it go on sale in Australia? 12am or 8am?

Around 12.15 pm Sydney time. That'll be +11 GMT. Strange time if you ask me.

so i guess the sale starts around 12pm local time everywhere. would be better if people from other parts of the world can confirm the sale time.

Yeah someone please confirm the time !

Nov 13 isn't coming soon enough!

Was lucky enough to pick up a 16GB Nexus 4
Checked my phone at 12.03pm Adelaide Time or 12.33pm Sydney time and saw the "Add to Cart"
Now just gotta wait for it to get shipped. ^^

I am in Melbourne Australia, I doubt the nexus 4 sold out. Here is what I think happened:
Someoen made them available too early for us AUstralians by mistake and went 'woops' later and put it back to coming soon.
This could well be true because:
1. 12:15 PM for available release time is weird
2. Not a lot of Australians know about the nexus 4 as most Australians are iSheeps and they wouldn't know about this availability on november 13th unless they were reading android news.
3. And with not that much people knowing about it, and just in general tit would be impossible for them to run out of stock in less than half an hour, even the iphones which is marketed profesionally isnt even able to do that (get sold out in less than 30 mins)
4. Many people have called google and they have said that there will be no seperate times, 12 AM PST
5. 1 more hour and 15 minutes until 12 AM PST guys lets keep our hopes up

But the 8GB version was available for a longer period of time. If what you assume is true, they would have fixed all accidents at once...

Then how did Sparky_boi order one genius, you were too slow, I gotta wait until next month to ship it from States via a relative and wanna make sure it comes with a case and screen protector so its gonna be a LOOONG wait

I tried to order N4 and N10 and added them to my cart and tried to checkout but google just gave me an error and deleted my cart.
After repeating the precedure 5 times the devices eventually got sold out.

Any word ontwhen the next batch will be released, or even guesses?
Theyre already on ebay for 450+ for the 8gb version.. ewwww
Haha, one of the local kijiji ads have one for 1000 bucks :S

Went on sale at 11:40 exact on EST here in New York. Snagged one just in time, and my order went through and I got a confirmation email so now I am awaiting for it to be shipped!

So... What now?

So I'm one of the unlucky people who could not get a Nexus 4. So what now?
When are we waiting till? When will it come back in stock? What's going to happen now? Should I kill myself?

I am in the same boat. I don't have my own credit card (Use paypal for everything) and was getting the info sent to me at 11:50, which was SUPPOSED to be before the sale. Someone jumped the gun *cough*Google*cough*
Saw the sale start, I had a 16GB N4 in my cart, at the final order process, but couldn't fill out CC info and watched them all sell before my eyes. It has been a sad day.
Oh well, best we can do now is wait it out and see when they start stocking more. I am curious to see how people review it once they start getting it tomorrow, and am looking to see if battery life meets Optimus G levels. Also this gives us time to buy accessories / wait for more to come out (Anyone else hoping for an OTG Micro SD integrated case)

I couldn't buy an N4 this morning. I have my GNex listed on ebay, sale is ending any second now. Maybe I should cancel it. Pretty frustrating.

Gonna look at trying again. Don't know why but I've not been getting any luck with the website.

Won't have my PayPal funds or debit card until Friday... so I had no real chance at even trying for a Nexus 4 today :/ No telling when Google will get more stock though...
Might even consider getting a Nexus 10 almost, I'm $6 short of funds in my PayPal though But I'll figure out what to even do when Friday comes along...

By restocking do you mean the 'restocking fee'.
The only reason why I am waiting for the phone is because of the restocking fee.
As soon as it goes away, I will order the nexus 4. I cant risk that might make me pay $50.
I think it will go away in 2 weeks. If it goes away in a week or this friday, it will be the best thing.

The restocking fee is part of their standard policy, and it applies to all the devices that google sells, provided you don't live in the EU or Australia. If you're in the US, its not going away.

Wait, what? The restocking fee is applied to opened and returned that aren't defective. It's nominally a charge for the repackaging they have to do. It has nothing to do with them having the phone in stock or not.

least I have time to buy a qi wireless charger and hopefully find a case that isn't the crappy bumber

I wanted to by one in the morning but arrived at work at 8.50 am and all N4s were already sold out. Bummer. Maybe it was a sign I got anyway already scared after all the bad benchmarks and the thermal throttling. I bought now the HTC OneX+ for 199 bucks and it has Jellybean. At least I have LTE and it will work fine. Still have my GNex to play with 4.2.

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.
