Wow, can't believe how long it's been since I've posted here. Back when I still had my Charge, lol.

Mine arrived yesterday. Battery life is ridiculously good

Got mine earlier today

Mine came yesterday. Too bad I had to go out last night. Played with it for about 2 hours. Fairly impressed so far.

Mine says on hold because of payment needing to be updated. I corrected that on Sunday and it still shows on hold. Verizon assures me everything is good. I pre-ordered on the 20th at 11:30pm AZ.

Just got an update on the tracking and I will have mine by end of day tomorrow. So excited!

After many calls to Verizon I got my tracking number today for my Ultra 512GB that I ordered through the Verizon app on 2/20/2020. Hallelujah

Mine showed up yesterday, got the phone set up and applied for the $200 credit. That was approved this morning and within an hour I had the email to claim it. Got the Buds+ and 45W charger and an OTG device. Why in the world do these phones not come with the OTG?

Yahooo!

Just checked and stock has gone from 32 to 34. Not sure how that is, but as I missed the 4pm deadline I won't get mine till Thurs which was what I had planned originally. It's gone past pending approval to pending fulfilment.
Just cancelled my order from 'Play' and ordered it from 'DeviceWire', should have it on Thursday woop woop.
Sweet. Had my pre-order in since 10th of November with devicewire.
Received my tracking number today booked the day off work tomorrow to accept delivery.
Awesome

so if i ordered today, i should get a free copy too? if i dont I'm sending it back
Hi,
Just thought we'd pop in and give you a quick update.
All pre-orders have been shipped and orders placed before 4pm today were also shipped.
We do have a handful left at the time of writing this post, but don't expect them to be around long.
There is a 15 Day trial copilot included within the box and the full version that unlocks all features can be found here : http://www.devicewire.co.uk/brands/copilot
The reason for the stock figures increasing was due to our stock being booked in over an hour or so. As orders came in stock went down but as we booked in new stock the figure would have increased.
Hope that helps.
devicewire.com
Ordered mine just in case I manage to sell my iphone 32gb... in two minds which one to keep.
I can always cancel the order from devicewire if I have a sudden change of heart.

Thrusday still bater then saturday, i paid £.19.99 to get on weekend (although refunded).
Also remember expansys wasn't even going to deliver by weekend.
Huzzah my DW HD2 is here. Off to open box now. Hopefully it is actually a HD2....
OMG, that really is a small box.
Edit: Out and playing with it now (the phone), quite quite different to my Kaiser.
UPS man still hasn't come even though tracking says it is out for delivery.
Biffy, aren't you supposed to charge the phone overnight to optomize battery before using it?
haha, wait all night before using the phone?! You're joking right?

Verizon sucks (Incredible backordered)

I placed an order for the Incredible last week with Verizon. Expecting to receive it the NEXT day, I waited 2 days, the weekend, and all of Monday for this thing since you have to sign for the package. I finally call Verizon...
"Thank you for calling Verizon wireless, home of the HTC Incredible, how can I help you?"
Come to find out they are all on back order until June. Not once did they communicate this to me and I found it to be quite annoying. How are you going to put up advertisements all over and even answer your phone "home of the Incredible," but not even have the damn phone available?
Sucks to Verizon!
I will wait, but I've been having wet dreams about this phone for days, now I have to wait another 3 weeks!
Again, Sucks to Verizon!
Its not Verizon's fault HTC cant manufacture enough because of the limited about of amoled displays coming from samsung. This phone is sold out everywhere.
I tried Verizon, they were out. I tried online, they were all backordered. I tried Best Buy...found one 35 minutes away that had 4 in stock. I got it through them for $200, same as it would have been through Verizon but the rebate was instant. I am not usually a fan of BB but this time I was happy to purchase from them!

I find it hard to believe you ordered it last week and never saw/received a warning about being backordered, as it's been on backorder for a while now.
There are component shortages, believe me, Verizon would love to have them in stock because they're making less money with people not wanting to backorder, which increases the chance they'll buy the EVO or wait for iPhone4.
regardless of what you think, the same thing happened to me. i was assured by customer service that the phone was only out of stock in the store. they said they had plenty in the 'warehouse' but it was only when I ordered the phone with overnight shipping that I found out it truly was on backorder when it didn't show up the next day

cant bc Verizon is doing me a favor by letting me upgrade early. I was havin issues with my tp2
i pre-ordered mine on 4/25, thank god i got it on 29th ^^
I bought mine on May 10th and at the time all of the Verizon Dealers were already sold out, I found three Best Buy in my local area that had at least one. The one I went to had 3 in stock.
I believe they have been on backorder for sometime now. People seem to hear what they wanna hear when purchasing a new toy
Have a friend who bought one at Wal*Mart last night for $149.
I bought mine at bestbuy last night

I think his main gripe is getting it from Verizon directly. All I'm simply saying is that phone has said its on back order since a few days after it was released
I got lucky, their website said shipping out 5/29, well.. I have had this phone about a week now.. just be patient and it will come early.

That's what the site said when I ordered mine on the 9th. I hope I get mine before then. They already billed me!
[/jealous]
I ordered mine online on 5/1 wasn't suppose to ship until 5/14, received it 5/5.
anything changing for people with when you're getting your phones? Anyone order thier phone on the 13th and have any specific information? All Verizon's CSR's keep saying is "6/1 blah blah blah"
I ordered mine on the 14th and its supposed to get here around 6/1 to, so i wouldn't expect it any sooner, but be happy if it comes early
I just opened an email that said mine has shipped. When I checked the tracking number on FedEx, I read they sent it Priority Overnight... but it's not expected to be here until Monday.
I hope it somehow shows up tomorrow so I'll have time to play with it before the work week starts. And wouldn't ya know it, I have a staff meeting on Monday and can't be here to sign for it. haha

[Q] How long was shipping for your Nexus 4?

Hi yall
I'm really interested in the Nexus 4 and I plan on getting one.
The thing is that it says it will arrive in 6-7 weeks. I just don't quite believe that because when I ordered my Nexus 7, it says that I had to wait 3-4 weeks for delivery, and this was in the first week it came out. I ordered it on Wednesday night around 830pm, got the shipping confirmation Thursday night at around 6pmish, and it arrived on my doorstep at around 3pm friday (~45 hours from ordering to delivery, pretty good considering it was the 2nd week it came out). So, since google lied to be before, I wanted to see how long it took you guys to actually get your Nexus 4s. Just put the date or time you ordered and the date and time it arrived. I just want to see whether or not it took a couple of weeks for people to get their Nexus 4.
tl;dr: Google lied to me about how long I had to wait for shipping before, so my question is: How long did it take for you to get your Nexus 4 from order to your doorstep?
UPDATE: So I ordered it on 12/2 and I got it around 1/7, so about 36 days or 5 weeks +1 day, so it's a bit faster than the 6-7 weeks that they said it would take, fyi im in LA. (btw, n4 is hands down, THE best phone available right now, just use dropbox or something to keep stuff on the cloud and you're set. Really awesome.)
Shipping statistics: Fastest: 2-3 days. Longest: ~8 weeks. Average: 4-5 weeks
Overall shipping conclusion: I guess it depends on where you live, some received theirs in 2-3 days while others 7-8 weeks, and I think they track your isp to get your approximate location to give you the ETA on how fast the shipping would be when you first see it available, but on average, expect it to arrive in about 5 weeks
Thanks and keep giving me the info and tell your friends to buy one too!!

I guess you didn't follow the hot mess that was the initial ordering process... either people got it in the estimated ship time of 3 - 5 days or they had to wait about 3 weeks for it to arrive even though when they ordered it listed 3 - 5 days.
My advise, assume google isn't lying to you, from what I can tell the estimated ship time from this last round of orders ranged from 1 - 2 weeks to 6 - 7, depending on when you ordered it.
I ordered mine on the 13th and received it on the 19th.

that doesn't sound too bad, if I'm assuming you mean November 13th and 19th?
I think it was a 3-5 week waiting period back then. It's good to see your answers.
I'd like to see what other people's wait times were!
Ordered - 13th November
Arrived - 20th November
Ordered on the 13th and received mine on the 21st. ( it was supposed to be the 20th but UPS screwed up )
Ordered on the 13th
Got in on the 16th, early afternoon.
Seems to be more lucky than most?
Edit: Maybe someone in Kentucky even got it on the 15th

Dang! that's quick!
From what people have posted, it seems that the majority of people have gotten theirs in a reasonable amount of time, with the exception of FOXY ROXY, but UPS screwed that up.
Conclusion: Google lies, it's a good lie though.
I wonder if anyone really had to wait 3-5 weeks for theirs, but I guess those people haven't existed yet... since 3-5 weeks after the 13th would be this coming week? (at the earliest!)
We'll see!
Thanks for all your posts!!
I ordered on the 13th and have yet to receive my N4 from Google play. No tracking yet either.

Keep in mind, everyone who ordered before the 27th, had a 3 - 5 DAY waiting period quoted, not weeks. No one (i think) who has ordered it with a quoted time of 3-5 weeks have yet received it. Some people who got quoted 3-5 DAYS did wait 3 weeks. Like me.
Ordered it the 13th, received it the 29th. (3-5 day quote)
I did get the other one I ordered on the 13th on the 16th though. Also 3-5 quote.
Bought on November 13th received on 30th
Ordered 29 Nov. 4-5 weeks shipping time quoted.
Last night, I dreamed that my N4 had shipped. Then I woke up.
Ordered on the 13th and received it on the 29th. If they say 5-6 weeks they mean it, my confirmation email originally said ships in 3-5 days but then got an email saying up to 3 weeks. It took 2 weeks and 2 days. The soonest you're going to see one if you order today is the first week of January.
I ordered mine on the 27th was quoted 2-3 weeks, hasn't shipped yet as far as I know (no tracking info, nothing), but credit card has been authorized.

Wow. So I guess those who ordered earlier in the month got theirs already and then the N4 got back-ordered and delayed shipping for everyone else. So I guess i should probably expect a 3 weekish wait if I order today.
btw. It's available again, well the 16gb one is so I got me one.
Wish me luck! And Thanks for the input guys!

I really hope Google Play is lying, because I ordered my LG Nexus 4 during the second run on Dec 2nd and it said it was going to take 6-7 weeks, two days later it shows 5-6... Hopefully I get by xmas. Please keep us updated!
Ordered on Dec 4, UPS tracking says Out for Delivery today, Dec 6.
However the one that I ordered on Nov 27 is not shipped yet.
I'm still waiting for mine

[Q] Shipment TIme?

I ordered my 16 GB Nexus 4 from the play store Thursday, the shipping time was 2-3 weeks. I was wondering if the shipping time is true, and how long did it take for you to receive the Nexus 4? I am really exited about this phone and can't wait to get my hands on it!
yes google's estimates are usually good, you will probably get the shipping notice sometime during the third week. shipping takes about 2-3 business days in north america.
Yes, shipping times are usually accurate. I learned the hard way: When I ordered my Nexus 7 at the end of July/early August it came in 2 days. When I ordered my N4 at the end of November it said it would ship in 4-5 weeks. I thought because my N7 came in 2 days, my N4 would also come fast. I was wrong and it ended up taking the estimated 4-5 weeks lol.
Thanks for the answers, cant wait for it. Its an amazing phone as far as I've heard
I ordered mine Sunday and got it Thursday and it game me an estimated shipping time of two to three weeks.

I ordered it 10 minutes after (so lucky, i was checking stock in the toilet ) it was back instock during the final time it would go out of stock on a Friday
recieved it on the Monday. I suspect i might even have recieved it earlier if it wasnt for the weekend because it shipped on the day i ordered it. It was express delivery for some reason
To the peeps who got it within a few days, did it stay on pending until you got it or did you receive a shipping email or pre-order email or anything? Also where are you located?

I ordered mine on the 3rd. and it was delivered on the 6th.
Estimate was 3-4 weeks... I'm really happy Google is not as accurate as other guys say XD
Oh and btw I live in Vegas
Seems like many people have different experiences, I haven't received any emails from google other than that my order was placed. Hope to hear something from them on Monday
Shipping is not accurate at all. I initially ordered a week ago on the Wed when it came back, and by the following thursday I heard nothing. So that morning I ordered a second and it arrived ~26 hours later. So google are unpredictable to say the least. Whatever the shipping, it's worth the wait
I ordered on wednesday, got the phone on friday. And yes, the shipping time was 1-2 weeks. The phone got to me before i got a chance to order any case or even cut my sim to micro sim

New user
Hello everyone. I am a new user to this forum and so far I have learned a lot. I ordered my device on the 3rd and have so far only received the order confirmation email from google. I am hoping it gets sent on Monday. It stated that shipping at the time was one to two weeks. I checked yesterday and it was up to two to three weeks shipping. Can't wait to get my device and start playing around with it. Thank you to the forum moderators for having such a great and informative site.

Another one joins the clan.

So, I bought a N4 since it's by far the best bang for the buck. Even though I have a feeling they're going to drop the 8 and intro a 32 (an assumption) just so they can compete... you just can't beat the phone price to feature ratio.
Anyhow, I was wondering how written in stone the shipping estimate was? I'm just anxious to get it...I'm on this ****ty iPhone 4 (work phone) and I can't wait. I've read some say that it could be a few days and some have waited the full length.
It really could be anywhere in that time frame. I know the waiting is tough but you'll be happy when you get it
Suppose to be two day shipping no? I got mines within 2-3 business days...
Also since I had one of the first batches and was super eager to get my hands on item...I went to ups online and asked them to hold the package for me to pick up instead of constantly missing the guy.
And one last thing...WELCOME!
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
The shipping days should be based on the place you have lived.Maybe two days maybe a week, but whatever, it shouldn't take a long time if you have ordered the phone.
I ordered mine Sunday evening. Got a mail with an estimaetd delivery for friday. So 5 days. Tuesday morning: ding dong. So these infos are not very reliable
Hah, of course I post this and I wake up this morning to an email saying my order has been shipped. The order was placed Monday evening. I. Can't. Wait!!
Congratz... Your going to enjoy this awesome device!
