The "I'm waiting for sales to go live" thread

[gmarkoma]

I am trying to buy from the French store and it crashes all the time

It's EST in the US. so somewhere on the east coast

EST is 3:36AM (3 hours ahead of PST) so he must be AST

 

[RickyThunell]

I thought Quebec was EST. What is +1 hour? Atlantic Standard Time?

You're right quebec is EST which is -0500 i don't know what is -0400

 

[Syrential]

Well guys, that's ridiculous. If it already sells out here within 5 minutes I don't want to know how it'll be in America.
The problem seems to be Google Wallet being really crappy when it overloads. It's pure luck whether you get one or not.
I was at the final screen but it never actually went through, seems like 95% of the people trying to order had the same problem, that's a worse debacle than with the Nexus 7.

must be somewhere in the caribbean i know they are 1 hour ahead maybe puerto rico

Maybe he is just THAT tired that he can't even tell the time right anymore

me too, it was really annoying!

If I don't get one in the US I'm gonna hang myself

 

[RickyThunell]

Well, I give up for now.. I wish Google could figure this part out.

Good night and good luck everyone.

After a lot of trials it continued. I clicked Accept and buy at google wallet, I chose the address but nothing is happening, I can't click anymore the button. I don't want to get charged twice if I repeat the procedure.

 

[briankariu]

Google fix this before it goes live in the US!!!

 

[Winterfang]

Yes I'm on Puerto Rico. I was just close to sleep and a panic mode entered and I had to check one last time. Apparently they are sold out on Europe BUT there's plenty of 8GB left. So that helps my luck.

Apparently google are amateurs when it comes to new product releases

I wish I wasn't such "gotta have it now" type of person. I might just buy the 8g. I should really wait for the 16g. Sad part is, it hasn't even started to sell yet in the us, and I have already admitted defeat

 

[evperry]

I wonder is anyone gonna care about the 8gb version of this phone in the US?

I expected to wake up and order one but no deal.

Apple don't get much right, but when it comes to pre-orders, they certainly do. Google, take note. The annoying thing is, everyone knew this would happen; except Google. Seemingly so anyway. They should've said something like "Pre-orders start on the 10th for delivery on the 16th or something" And then people who buy on the 10th get it on the 16th, people who buy on the 11th get it on the 17th and so on. Urgh. At least i can play with 4.2 on my Gnex.

Stayed up until midnight (EST), woke up at 3am (in case, ya know, they do midnight sales in California), and woke up at 7am. Off to work in a bit, hopefully nothing starts until I'm at the office (higher speed connection there anyway).

I honestly didn't see it going down like this. We will see what happens in the US.

is it really in just a couple of minutes? My computer at work don't have internet and I have to wake my sister up and boy if I wake her up in vain my ass is grass.
