Sweet, order placed!



The hardest part is getting it into the cart.

This Proceed button will be the death of me

 

[maharg]

Heh. 1 device per customer limit it seems.

Dunno if it made a difference, btw, but I loaded the cart fresh every time I pressed proceed in case it was holding on to the failure.

[The Interrobanger]

I got one, yay.

 

[eissan]

Well just bought it...anyone looking for a s3 lol

 

[Liquidus]

Got a 16GB. It's going to be a great Christmas for someone after all

 

[cartoon_soldier]

Wait...so do these orders today go before or after those who ordered last week when they were taking backorders?

 

[exYle]

YES!

Unfortunately, I got bumped back to 3-4 weeks shipping, but the order was placed!

 

[EnderWiggles]

Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh suck it America!

 

[buhdeh]

Wait...so do these orders today go before or after those who ordered last week when they were taking backorders?

My order receipt says ships in 3-5 business days.

 

[maharg]

Wait...so do these orders today go before or after those who ordered last week when they were taking backorders?

I imagine any backorders that are left would be first in line. Are there still outstanding backorders in Canada?

 

[Drpunch]

I managed to get a 16GB with 1-2 weeks until it ships. Great day so far!

 

[Randy Lanzarote]

US restock, Canadian restock..... Come on Google, give some love to your ancestors over the pond!

I want one but I'm still locked to this Rogers' contract. Infinite Sadness.

This summer I'll grab one. Hopefully they will have a 32gb version.

Why would that stop you?

Since the phone is sold unlocked, you could probably still get it and just transfer your SIM into this one.

 

[maharg]

You definitely could. Rogers doesn't care what your phone is.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

Ah this was Canada.

My Receipt from last week US said 4-5 weeks for US 16GB.

I switched off my BB plan yesterday, get it if you can.

I did buy a 16 today, I wanted more than 8gb. Gonna sell my 8gb to a friend hopefully.

No, I won't be gouging anyone. Probably $320 since it's lightly used by me.

 

[Shambles]

1-2 weeks for me. No bumper available Last order I saw said 4-5 weeks.

 

[maharg]

Am I the only one, btw, who finds it surprising that the 8GB seems to be so much more popular? Like, yeah, it's cheaper but not by that much. And it seems like the value of the extra 8GB is worth it.

The 8GB is sold out and the 16GB is up to 6-7wk now heh.

 

[cube444]

"accept and continue"

I keep tapping and nothing happens? :lol

 

[The Elite]

Why would that stop you?

I guess part of me is saying I should just wait out my contract and see if they release a 32gb version by this summer. Part of me really needs it right now since my iPhone is glitchy as fuck lately.

I may consider it on the next batch depending on how bad my iPhone 4 is by then.

Personally, 8gb is more than enough. I don't use my phone for games and 1gb is more than enough to hold whatever music i need for a week. I'm assuming the same holds true for most of the general public.

I was half tempted to go 8GB just because 'screw paying $50 for 8GB of flash" but I'm taking the safer route. The difference between $300 and $350 is pretty significant.

 

[Liquidus]

Only got the 16GB as the gf takes a lot of photos and videos. I don't think the 8GB (5GB usable) would be enough.

Yeah, I have about 16gb worth of music and I use my iPhone as my current music player so I need the space.

 

[mnannola]

I planned on selling my Nexus for a profit and keep my 3GS for a month or two, but after playing around with the Nexus for a day...I can't sell it. Everything I have done on this phone has gone without a hitch, and the screen is pretty amazing. No freaking way can I go back to the 3GS now.

What are the best looking games on Android to test out this things gaming capabilities?

 

[BertramCooper]

The storage isn't a big deal for me because I would never use a smart phone as my primary music player. I couldn't possibly deal with an MP3 player with such shitty battery life.

For music, my Sansa Clip+ is king. And if something happens to it, well, it's only $40 to replace.

Not when yo tax be 13%

 

[maharg]

I don't actually fill up the 16G on my GNex, nor did I on my iphone4 or iphone3gs. But I'd still rather have that headroom. 8GB just seems so small these days.

Maybe it's also because I still remember paying prices like $1/MB.

 

[BertramCooper]

I will add that I did opt for the 16GB, but it was a matter of cost-effectiveness, not necessarily my storage needs.

 

[victreeb3l]

my friend ordered one of these yesterday. said 6-8 weeks then, but shipping times got quicker today. any chance of him getting it earlier?

They don't necessarily start with the same number in stock of both models though.

 

[abunai]

As someone new to Android from iOS, what does rooting do if you're not installing a new rom?

Rooting is equivalent to an admin account in windows (root is system-wide admin in linux). Gives you permission to system files etc so you can do tweaks/install apps that need root. It's just a nice thing to have. You can go from using command lines to pull specific system files and change particular fonts in a certain app and pushing it back to your phone, or to something as simple as installing an app which backs up all your apps along with their settings for you. It's neat.

 

[buhdeh]

8GB was never restocked in the first place (Canada).

It could mean different stock levels. It's not necessarily demand. I imagine Google would rather sell 16 GB models since the profit margin would be higher. Or, rather, the loss margin would be less.

 

[TwIsTeD]

Google shipping times are bullshit since soo many of ours "shipped" but didnt really haha

In all seriousness i`m sure most will get within 2 weeks

 

[kharma45]

US restock, Canadian restock..... Come on Google, give some love to your ancestors over the pond!

I can't see anything until 2013 for us

The premature shipping notices are just mind-bogglingly stupid.

1) Print labels
2) Alert everyone that it has shipped
3) Let boxes sit in warehouse for 2 business days before distributing them

Seriously, who the fuck does that?

 

[Jazzy Network]

I got minor scratches on the back of my phone. Sucks I won't use it until I get my plastic full body phone protector.

 

[BertramCooper]

Leaving the office in three minutes. Definitely not coming today.

Hopefully Google will have the decency to refund the shipping so we don't all have to beg for it.

 

[whitehawk]

Damn. 16gb is in stock for Canada, but it says ships in 7-8 weeks. Which means I won't get it for Christmas.

Thats the other thing I dont like about ordering from the Play Store....for all the shipping they do they have to be making some $$$ there as well.

 

[Mrbob]

What's a good case/bumper for the Nexus 4?

 

[cube444]

When the heck will the Nexus 4 bumpers ever go on sale again? Some guy on eBay has one for $99. :lol

 

[tfur]

I was going to do the bumper thing, but after feeling up the curved glass, not gonna happen.

Use a pouch and go bare. That's how I did the galaxy nexus.

The phone is not slippery at all in hand, but just on smooth surfaces like wood, or glossy books.

 

[BertramCooper]

Anyone else notice how Google Play's shipping e-mail doesn't register with Google Now?

:lol
