It's in line with the N4 when it launched actually.

Still debating this internally, It's about 360 delivered and I was hoping for not much more than 300. Also not sure if the Nexus 4 is gone forever as the store is changing between coming soon and no longer for sale.

The way bigger problem of the two.
I seriously hope that Verizon realizes what the fuck they missed out on and changes their shit. But knowing them, they will try harder to lock people in and maybe require people that buy new phones to have a Verizon branded dildo to stick up your ass before you use the cell or else it won't work.
O2 seem to be the only network offering it.
32GB directly via O2, 16GB only via carphone warehouse. £295 sim free, or free at £32 a month (no thanks). First 1000 contracts get a free nexus 7 though.

Cancelled my white order for a black... Hopefully it still ships the same time.
How do you cancel an order. I also have a white and a black.
Google's website is lame!
edit: oh the link is in the email

I'm bailing from Verizon. Just simply had enough with the ridiculous prices and restrictions. This is just the final push I needed.
What do you guys recommend? I guess my options are pretty much Sprint or T-Mobile, right?

Gonna wait a month or 2, then get one. Can't wait for all the impressions.

If you want basically the closest in terms of coverage, go for AT&T, which is also overall faster. But T-Mobile, if it's good in your area and they don't restrict at all really, then go for them.

God Damn, this thing is a pain in the ass to order from Ireland.

Thinks his PR is better than yours.
Canadian Play Store bled dry. 16/32GB Black/White all gone.
Glad I got mine in first 2 minutes!

Yeah, I went to the email and clicked cancel. I have no clue how to reach it otherwise. It was like 5mins of struggling until I remembered the email.

Damn, why do large Google Wallet purchases always set off my credit cards' fraud detection?
Same thing happened last year, only AmEx blocked the transaction entirely and fucked up my order. This time, I used my CapitalOne Visa to avoid a similar mishap. Thankfully the transaction went through, but I still got a fraud alert and had to call to confirm the purchase.
I guess I should be thankful that they're so sensitive. In any case, I'm glad CapitalOne didn't block it completely like AmEx did to me last year.
It's just funny that both cards seem to have issues with Google Wallet. I make larger purchases than this on both cards regularly.

Go prepaid (Straight talk, aio, go phone, etc)
No bullshit contract and you own the phone.
I'm using my Nexus 4 on Straight Talk and I have no complaints with it.

32gb black ordered (leaves warehouse 11/5) should be a good upgrade from my gnex

He can go prepaid on tmobile too, it really depends on coverage. Straight Talk, Sprint, etc. have no coverage by me at all.

Sure, just pay out of pocket like everyone else. The ETF will be as much as you buying it from google.
Go GSM, no contract. You can go with AIO which is ATT's prepaid for cheap.
It's unlocked, so it works on ATT.
Sprint and Tmo are selling it, which is why they're listed

Really sad that Google Voice is not integrated into Hangouts. That makes them "adding SMS" useless to me, since I exclusively text with GV.

It is available right now from various sites such as Bel Simpel and Studentmobiel for a (more reasonable than Nexus 4) price of 399 for the 16GB.
Horrible.
I'm with you. I'm tired of Verizon's bullshit prices and lack of Nexus support. $70/month prepaid plan for unlimited talk, text, and web on T-Mobile.
Ah, makes sense.

I've heard that Straight Talk with AT&T LTE is pretty reliable.

Yeah, I'm disappointed that they don't have this worked out yet.
I'm doing my best to get all of my primary contacts to move our messaging over to Hangouts, but I still need Google Voice for call forwarding and voicemail.
What about the one up plan? Can I change to that?
Me too, man. We'll get there.
