This sort of thing really puts me off getting this phone I certainly don't want to buy a phone for it to be out of date in 1 month.
It's put me off buying the current G3 too. I've read every review and 'hands on' preview going and I was even willing to look past only getting the 2GB version, but knowing there might be an upgraded version in the (very) near future will make me stay away from the current G3 until there is definite clarification

The thing is it might be for Korea only but alas LG won't confirm rumours so how long do we wait to hear if it's true or not?

Well that's the million dollar question. That article says it's expected in July, which isn't that far away really, so if nothing else surfaces about it by the end of July you could probably safely assume that it was either just a rumour OR it's a new flagship that LG has planned for later in the year/next year/whenever

LG should do a free upgrade for anyone who has just brought it as a gesture of good will if they go ahead and release a 805 in a few weeks.

Haha, they should!.. But they won't I'd be amazed if an upgraded G3 with 805 actually happened, especially this side of the Pacific but we shall see. It states released in July but in regions outside of Korea the device isn't even being released until July in the first place, so it only really makes sense if it's being limited to a specific audience. It's a massive douche move though, to release a "flagship" and then release an upgraded model in the same year... or potentially same month!

Strong rumours of the S5 Prime and M8 Prime were stated just days after the release of those devices, now several months later there is still no official sign of the devices with a vague link to Android Silver (also a rumour!) in February.
If there is going to be a new g3 I would suggest it won't be out for quite some time.

Unfortunately it doesn't help potential buyers who don't want their phones to be obsolete pretty much right after buying it.
I cannot wait to get rid of my iPhone 5S so will get the G3 anyway.
Am actually laughing at the hue n cry here. Dudes, there will always be updates to electronic gadgets and particularly with smartphones in recent years.
All the issues & complaints by early buyers would be rectified in the 2nd set of production. How many cases of such we have seen in recent past. [Nexus 5 speaker grill modification being the latest ].
So no point in fuming at these developments. How much ever you might have been attracted by a device, its always better to wait for a considerable period before procuring one. There has to be always somebody to get it first right. so be it.
Chill dudes.

Iphone 6 is likely to be September/October time.
If you keep waiting there is always going to be a "next device", something is released roughly every 3 months these days, so there comes a point where you just have to accept it and pick a device.
I try, if I can help it to get a device as close to its release date as possible in order to minimise this, but there is no point worrying that it may or may not be replaced with something better in 3-6 months time.

Yep. Point taken. 1 month is really a tight slap on early buyers choice. But based on rumours going around, that handset with 805 might get launched only in Korean market.
Nevertheless, ppl can still import it from Korea. That would impact the price factor..hmm..not sure abt it.

Anyone knows when our beloved N4 will be available again? Any official statement besides it is sold out? Surely I am not the only did not put my order through :crying:
rumor round up, Nov 15
1, some suggest to check in on Friday, confirmed by google + and some T Mo stores
2, google backorder mail suggests to give your F5 a 3-week vacation
3, email from google support says "soon" but do not know how soon
Nov 16
1, For those who want to order from Negri (http://negrielectronics.com/lg-e960-nexus-4-16gb-unlocked-black.html#.UKYW7IdQS3E), there is a coupon code you can use: 10offsite will take $10 off. Cheers!
2, reported by some threads: today several lucky ones were told that their phones are on the way as we speak, after receiving BO mail yesterday.
3, no word on when it will be available again for the rest of us...keep waiting
4, got a word from google support that the N4 will be in stock and the price will NOT be changed. This is to respond to some rumors saying play store will not sell it for a while, so the local electronic stores (not ebay) in different countries can gain some, because some will be forced to pay higher price. Certainly hope google keeps the promise to sell us N4 soon.
5, rumor has it that India will receive N4 on Nov 30. This might suggest when the 2nd wave comes!
Nov 18
New rumor: the 2nd batch comes in a few days!
Note again, it is just a rumor from a blog: Nexus 4…weeks away? “Days” according to Play Support
No one knows. Hell, we didn't even know when the thing went on sale yesterday. It was just a feeding frenzy!
No
No.
Edit: I managed to order a 16gb 1 minute after it became available here, but I really feel bad for you, man. On the bright side, early adopters are gonna get screwed with a lot of issues. Sorry, man. Hopefully it becomes available soon.
google play store plays us
maybe then we can just decide to sleep when we are tired and not to refresh the website any chance we get.
is this the official statement from google?

Why?
We have just some 4-5 weeks to go until the end of the year, so "in coming weeks" could easily mean "mid/end January".
Quite possible if you think, that industry is currently scrambling to produce enough stock for Christmas and will be mostly idling afterwards. So google could use it to produce more N4s.
I just hope there will be plenty of stock eventually instead of all this selling out nonsense.
I was online and had the opportunity to buy the 8GB version but i was confused, i looked at the 16GB version and still said "Coming Soon" so i thought it hadn't gone on sale yet, little did i realise it had already been and gone :laugh:
So while i was waiting the 8GB version sold out too, gutted.
Might be reading too much into the Google+ Post but:
There’s been so much interest for the Nexus lineup that we’ve sold out of some of our initial stock in a few countries!

If they sell the second batch in mid-january, this means making everyone wait 2 months.
2 months is a lot, especially if you have no guarantee that in 2 months' time stocks will be enough for everybody.
The problem with phones is that they age very quickly, and the sooner people get them, the more they are likely to keep them.
I, to conclude, really hope that we will see a second sale next week. Even if stock is going to be, if possible, even lower, it doesn't matter: angry people will stay angry, but we will have some more "lucky ones" which will have a new phone.
But this is just my opinion.

Found you here as well..Whats up man
I've heard everything from them coming out this Thursday/Friday, all the way up to in one more month.
Spoke to a CSR today and they -of course- cant give out any days because they don't even know. "Being a guesser" the CSR said, "i would guess that it [a new batch of Nexus 4's] could come out the 21 to the 23 of the month ,that way they would be ready for Black Friday" he kept going, "but then again, it could take them until December, that's just my opinion. It all depends what the marketing team wants to do."

We get anywhere near mid-end of Jan and im passing, you've nailed it with the "tech moves too fast".
No way this will be the best hardware on the market at that point, only selling point is its a Nexus, which despite me being a fan wont swey my decision.
Stret
I just want ask to google, why the hell are so many Nexus 4 being sold on ebay, if i can't buy one in playstore?????
I unfortunately missed being able to buy N4
I imagine Google will have more stock in before Christmas, or they would lose out on quite a bit of $$.
I've heard they are supposed to have more in by Friday 8am (GMT)(or midnight PST) however cannot confirm this.

Looks like Sprint, T-Mo and AT&T will still be launching the HTC One in the U.S. before the end of March.
That's fantastic news, 'cause I'm getting mega antsy. Another months wait would have been embarrassingly unbearable.
Thanks for that update. Here's hoping that it's actually the 15th for the US as well.

I will get 14 days to return it if the One shows up by the 28th or the 29th of March but I highly doubt it.
The US timeline may not be affected by the delays could be because it wasn't going to be released until April.
I am keeping my finger crossed that I will end up with it by the end of March

Since the HTC One upgrade promo technically ended yesterday (it's still listed on HTC's site), I'm sure we'll see U.S. service providers start announcing release dates and pricing any time now. The Samsung Galaxy S IV will be unveiled tomorrow, so it'll probably be Friday or next Monday before we get details.

Depends on the carrier.. if you're on CDMA it could be a pain switching devices.. but with GSM phones its pretty much just swiping sim cards..
But the user above hopes that HTC releases the HTC One in the next two weeks being that he have a 14 day return to exchange to another phone..
i would of had never done that, Maybe in the past when most carriers had a 30 day return period.. now most have a 14 day return..
Most likely the device will be out within a week or two after release.. because new customers have to start a new line the day they pre-order it.. if they was in the store.. (at least thats what Sprint did to me the time i pre-order my EVO 4G) maybe things have change and you can pre-order it and sign up the day it comes out..
I wish I could believe this... But I can't until there are solid release dates.

I just listened to Android Police podcast and they stated a rumor of the Nexus 6 coming to Verizon next year.
I know is just a rumor but I sure hope its not true and do not see how Verizon would be willing to lose all those potential sales.
What is your thoughts on this. I am willing to wait another month for the Nexus 6 but I cannot wait until next year.
Cheers!
No way
Ouch
If next year means January 2015, I'll wait. No problem there.
Verizon was the only carrier to not have an announcement or landing page of some sort. It's possible.
they need the extra time to make sure it is locked down for good.
Ugh... Hoping for some words of encouragement... Lol. Well at least I can hope that they'll let us know when pre order goes up on the 29th.
If they do not release until January then it might be worth it for me to jump ship from red to blue. ?
Typical VZW. They held up their Galaxy Nexus for a few months too. Hopefully this doesn't effect updates now that its one device for all networks.
VZ is listed on the N6 google page, it has the bands, VZ is just being VZ.
Since the phone is one model for USA and one for worldwide, the general consensus right now is it will be unlocked, even on VZ, may have been a terms of agreement to get it.
But we'll have to see.
as to one month versus next year, I could wait, my GNex is running fine on KK, if I can wait three years to get to this point, another 6 months is not a far stretch.
Maybe buy on Google Play... Than use on Verizon with a little hacking? H'm

I'm pretty sure they clarified it was a joke in reference to Verizon's handling of the Galaxy Nexus somewhere on the website, I think I saw it in one of the comment sections.
That's some good news. I know we'll all have to wait to see.... But this information helps me feel ok about waiting.
Honestly my biggest worries was that they had a source or a potential source with information that we did not have
Look at it this way.... The longer you wait the closer we get to an announcement of a device running a 64bit 810 Qualcomm kit. If VZW does delay things long enough to see that come around I'll wait.

Same here, I seriously can't wait for the nexus 6, and if everyone is concerned buying it directly from Google play would solve the issued with it being unlocked. Just my 2 cents

Called Verizon today just for kicks to see if I got a rep that had any idea of the nexus 6 at least..
They literally had no idea what I was talking about......
They came back to me after putting me on hold in complete excitement after being introduced to the device lmaooooo. I got a really good kick out of that this morning.
I'm really thinking I might at the very least camp it for an hour before my T-Mobile opens. I was told they only have 5 phones to sell and they didn't know if they were getting another shipment. I assume they are though, because why else would they delay the launch. If I can't get one, then it's not the end of the world.
So, what are your game plans? Anyone pitching a tent?
BTW, I went in and checked out the demo. First impressions were good, everything I had expected although I will say this: the midnight blue is the BIGGEST fingerprint magnet I've ever seen. The back of it looked like it had already seen three years of hard abuse. I'll def be putting a case or skin on it

I'm pretty confident in saying that you won't have to camp. Nobody outside of these forums even knows the phone is being released. I work in a dept of over 300 people with smartphones and not a single person has heard nor cares about the N6.
The are you going to buy it poll on the most frequented android forum in the world had a whopping 155 votes. People are acting like this phone isn't going to be available.
Sent from my LG-D851 using Tapatalk
I tend to agree. I contemplated camping until I considered I might be the only one outside waiting. I might get there 20 minutes early though. Just in case. Even if they sell out the stock before I get a chance to buy one. I'm doubtful it will be on back order the first day. So odds are they'll be able to ship it in a couple days, hopefully.

I think it'll be win win. If I get one, awesome. If not then I'll get what I really want: 64gb white
My impression was waiting 4-5 hours before they open. Interesting that people in here are not to worry about it. Guess depends where you live. When I got my M7 on launch day in Bellevue, I went half an hour before they opened and was like 4th in line, and several people behind me. Going based on that.

Not right now...
For perspective, the Nexus 5 sold less than 5 million units since release. The Note 4 sold nearly that in a week. No matter how difficult Google makes it to get online, the phone will be widely available at the carriers. Nexus devices have never sold well, even at 299-399 dollars. I suspect the 650-700 dollar Nexus wont be flying out of the stores, either. If people want a Phablet, they'll just get a Note 4, its pretty much cornered the market on Phablets. I love the Nexus line, but I can count on one hand how many people I've ever seen in the wild with one since the Nexus one, and I live in NY.
At the earliest, I'll be there around 1 hour before release. Like others have said in the thread so far, this isn't a very popular release outside of the XDA forums. In fact, most Tmobile reps are clueless about the launch itself.

I agree. And on top of that, getting any consumer electronics item a few weeks before it becomes widely available isn't going to improve your life in any measurable way. By the way, I ordered through Motorola and am expecting delivery on November 26th. I think I can wait another 11 days.
Does camping around your phone that has two apps set up to alert you when it's available count? I will actually be working at T-Mo that day, I'm in training so don't go asking me questions b/c honestly I know as much as you all at this point. I'll get outta work around 2-3pm and maybe drive around to take ganders at it if I can.
I'll be camping at the website waiting to order a 64 GB one. Haha

Same and hopefully they allow us to do that at Midnight.
i seriously doubt camping is necessary. google did no large scale marketing at all, and stores typically get new devices in during a shipment midday (unless led by apple who can drive a SPECIFIC launch date world wide). heck, i sold 2 galaxy edges at my att store on the 13th even though we expected them to arrive on the 18th. so fingers crossed we get our nexus 6 before the expected arrival of 21st.

Will likely be at one of the leaked stores supposed to sell it at least 5 hours in advance of opening.

Get this man a beer for this post (and maybe a nudie mag)
I'll probably be showing up right when they open at 9AM. I was at one of my local stores at 9AM for the Z3 release (returned it due to lack of group messaging support) and I was the only one there.

I think this is much more popular than the Z3.
As many of you probably remember from the Nexus 6, and I think even the Nexus 5, Google seems to stock 100 units per day.
I want to pick up the 6P, but almost certain I won't be able to for at least a month after launch because I never can catch a break with getting online while units are available.
Just replied to u on other thread "You will need to be concerned, since they were sold out in about 10 minutes the last 3 launches! My finger was in pain from hitting the PC F5 refresh key...."
for those who can manage to hold off for a month i think will benefit most, as any concerning defects or software problems will be beyond the paranoia stage into being facts. And its battery life will be confirmed for real world usage also, rather than people posting SOT snap shots.
hard to resist though, i know.

Why not buy it now, and return it within 14 days if you don't like it??? Buy buy buy.
Sure hope it doesn't follow the Nexus 4 launch ? It was also only sold through the Play Store at first, and that thing sold out in seconds, was nowhere to be found anywhere until like February the next year.
It sold out the first day right away, and then two weeks later went back in stock on the Play Store, and 30 seconds later sold out again for 2 weeks. Rinse and repeat for three months. That Nexus was near impossible to get, it didn't have a steady supply in stock for at least 3 to 4 months after launch.
I don't expect the 5X and 6P to be that bad, but I will not be surprised if it's close to that poor supply. I bet these new Nexus phones will be super hard to get over the next month.
Basically you will need to order one the split second they release it, not wait 10 minutes, let alone later in the day. These will sell out super fast, and the 5X ? LOL that will be gone in 1/10th of a second.
I've never had a problem ordering a nexus product on launch (since nexus one), until last year with the n6. Even though that process was stupidly handled.. I think it had to do more with Motorola and their promising carriers certain amounts. I don't think we'll have that problem this year. at least I'm crossing my fingers on that one lol
It will be interesting to see, how many google can actually deliver, because if they are really like the leaks say, they will go away like an iPhone.
After the Nexus 6 many waited for a smaller one (5X) and many want one with a better cam (6P). Also after Stagefright and the general dislike of samsung like roms and the update problematic, most a bit better informed ppl, want to get a nexus device next. If the phones are as promising as they look .... it will be hard to get one.
I'd say units won't ship until at least mid October. I'm gonna wait until November to get one. Hopefully T-Mobile carries it so I can use my upgrade.

My prediction, we are all screwed. Google will troll us and put it up for a second then claim to be sold out for a week or two
Check out firefox extension "Check4Change"
It'll auto refresh the page every 5 seconds and notify you when something changes. IE the button changes from "Coming Soon" to "Order Now"
Maybe sharing this will hinder my ability to buy one.

I love how one of the biggest technology companies in the world can't figure out how to do preorders. They shouldn't "sell out" until, you know, the device is released. Just keep pushing the estimated delivery date back as orders come in.
But I guess that would be asking too much of Google.
For some reason I think the 6P won't sell out right away, especially due to the fact the 5X is being released at the same time, and the fact the N6 is still a strong, bigger device.
Does anyone remember the price of the N6 when it first came out? Wasn't it $599?

I got my N6 back in April, been a solid device but I think I've done all I could with it.
Then again, when the Marshmallow ROM's start coming out probably this weekend, I might not even want to get the 6P. There are a few things I need to see on the 6P before I just up and buy it...probably a hands on review of it first.
I'm not familiar with the manufacturer what so ever, which is another concern.

Probably not, but last year the nexus 6 had about a 10 second window to pre order it on launch day. They offered some more pre orders the couple weeks after, though.
If it's available on US carriers it'll probably push more people to wait.

True, but I mean that was going from a 5" decent Nexus device all the way to a new manufactured 6" with front facing speakers and AMOLED screen.
I doubt the "demand" is going to be there for the 6P later today.

Well I can tell you you should have 0 faith in google
Every year people hope it's better, but it's always a bad experience ordering one.

This happened to me during the Nexus 4 and 6 launch. I think I got the 5 after the fact, can't remember.
