So why is it that Android 4.4 is supposed to be efficient and run well on phones with 512mb ram, but Google won't put it onto the Galaxy Nexus?

I know and can easily flash the stock or a custom build of firmware to my phone, but I thought Nexus devices were supposed to be well supported with updates. I guess they get the updates within 18 months of their launch fast, but then are dropped.

just saw that being reported. awesome. what time did your order go through? i was 2 minutes after and no shipping yet

I'm not sure it was all a blur haha. I'm pretty sure I had it placed within the first minute or two though.

My order was placed 3 minutes after the hour. If that wasn't fast enough to be shipped today I'll be sad.

Just refreshed and they had stock available. 3-4 weeks. Bought my 16gb.

I loved my BB 9900, but they're absolutely not with the times anymore. Google's always impressed me, and my folks have two Nexus 4s due to my recommendation. Now's my turn.

Looks like 1:00:33 PM CST, so 33 seconds after it was up I guess.
 
This is very tempting... My N4 does get a little hot especially now as I rely on it for GPS since my job is travel heavy. Gets so hot mounted to the dash it shuts down. Also thinking of picking up a second phone for work since they pay me to use mine now.

I could pare down both plans to where I'm getting paid every month for phone service.... The things that make you go hmmmm. The N4 would basically be for work and the N5 be my normal device.

Good phone for larger audience I guess and for the price, but compared to S4 for example I don't think it's worth the upgrade, so I'll just wait for S5 or whatever is to come.
 
My Chromecast shipped and arrived the next day. I hope it's the same here.

People living near Kentucky (where these will probably ship from) should get theirs tomorrow.

People need to do some case reviews when they get their phones so I can decide on which to get.

I'm having the same problem. I need a case, but no idea what to get. Ideally, I'd like something real sturdy, something similar to an Otterbox.

Google has a distribution office on Dundas here in Toronto? I had no idea. Hope that means I get mine super quick!

I only had my N4 for 2ish months last year before my ladyfriend slapped my hand while drunk and it fell and broke.

Never replaced it and got a Galaxy SII in the interim.

Replaced that with a Lumia 920 last month.

And now...I want a new toy to play with. ;O
