It's like some sort of Twilight Zone episode

 

[GK86]

Someone jumped the gun early.

 

[Snaku]

Oh man, if this sells out before it goes live in America. Fuuuuuuu

 

[wario]

[Shambles]

Glass back, $20 bumpers... what's going on here?

 

[Rabid Wolverine]

And no eta when they will be available.

Extra shipping charge on top of that.

16gb just went back to Coming Soon in Australia, 8gb still available. Weird.

 

[vanty]

The 16GB has gone back to "Coming Soon", 8GB still for sale. Guess 16GBs sold out within 30 minutes or something.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

I'm glad I'm going for 8gb. Gives me a better chance.

...eh.

 

[criesofthepast]

I just know after all this waiting that I'm going to miss this somehow.

$20 bumpers is pretty normal (sadly), no? I bought my Apple bumper from dealextreme for $2. Can't tell the difference from the real thing. Probably made in the same Chinese factory as the knock off too. The nexus 4 bumper actually looks decent, though!

I'm glad I'm going for 8gb. Gives me a better chance.

Same here.

 

[DeadFalling]

Someone should photoshop the bumper onto an image of the Nexus 4

 

[sleeping_dragon]

i just ordered 5 nexus 4 for my families and friends, sorry guys you have to wait. lol

 

[Aruarian Reflection]

Do bumpers even work, protection wise? I drop my phone all the time, but I previously had a plastic Samsung Galaxy so it was no big deal.

Some guy streamed hands-on with the Nexus 4 and 10, might be worth watching for those killing time until they can order the 4

[Divvy]

20 dollar bumper is pretty much a ripoff, just wait for third party ones, or just tape a twizzler around your phone.

 

[squicken]

ugh really hope they just pulled an accidental listing and it's not really selling out in 30 minutes

These are the Droid-Life guys. I only watched a little bit of it, but... They mentioned that lock screen widgets don't work yet on the Nexus 4, and they will be coming in an update tomorrow (final 4.2).

I guess all the reviews really were on unfinished, unoptimized software.

 

[tigerin]

How is Striaght Talk regarding their coverage and service??...

Because I've been torn between that and T-Mobiles $30 plan. The only downside to that $30 plan is the 100mins. Which I will surely pass since me and my gf now live in different states.

straight talk supports both at&t and t-mobile's radio bands. so you can basically use their phones without being unlocked first.

 

[hitsugi]

so the limited quantity plus unsure of release timing = people waiting around midnight, followed by the entire following morning =\

Welcome to Google Product Launch (TM)

 

[tigerin]

at this rate, it'll probably be sold out before google even get a chance to notify me through e-mails.

 

[hitsugi]

Welcome to Google Product Launch (TM)

I am stunned that.. it could be either midnight or 8 am pst... or.. apparently noon

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

wrong thread LOL

 

[giga]

RIP brad maddox.

Google employee?

 

[Technosteve]

Can figure out how to create an automatic driving car without accidents.

Can't figure out how to launch and ship product to consumers.

hahahah meant for wrassle gaf.

Plus Australia selling out of 16 gig versions within the first hour.. If Google really felt prepared for this, we'd have some type of time frame. Hell, we may even have gotten pre-orders.

 

[giga]

Final software rolling out too. Let's see about that throttling, reviewers.

 

[Zombie James]

The release update is getting pushed...

Old.

See you guys in 5 hours, 20 minutes.

 

[GK86]

They shouldn't have been reviewing unfinished software in the first place.

 

[Zombie James]

Old.

[giga]

New lock screen widgets

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

sweet

 

[markot]

Yeah, bad idea by Google

 

[asdad123]

So is the battery on this any good? I currently have a iPhone 5, but would like to get back into android (My GNexus has terribleeee battery life)

 

[Zombie James]

 

[Cudder]

The release update is getting pushed...

To....Nexus 4s? What about my Galaxy Nexus!

 

[Lord Error]

Yeah, I don't think I can possibly skip this at $300. Worth it just to play with and experience Google Now, IMO.

HSPA+, that's the same thing Iphone 4s had, correct? If so, should work pretty fast with Rogers in Canada.

 

[Cipherr]

Markup on official Nexus accessories has been insane for a while now. I remember not liking the price of the GNex docks. Seemed extremely overpriced for what you got. I went to Amazon to get a third party one.

$20 bumpers sounds like they are continuing that trend.
