Google billed my credit card on 11/27/12, which according to their own admission it shipped on the same day (i.e., "You will not be charged until your order has shipped."). Theoretically, even if I gave them an extra day, the phone should have arrived on Friday or Saturday. That said, I was given a 1-2 week lead time so I am not going to complain; I will take it farther than that, I am one of the few who were able to get through the transaction, get a tracking number and, finally, will receive a phone soon. I remember sitting on the site for 40 minutes using various methods: ranging from the simplest (repetitive clicking) to the more advanced (multiple-tab approach). When I got past the flurry of inconsistent screens (e.g., full cart, empty cart, full cart, etc.) and into the actual secured transaction screen I felt like I had won the lottery?it was exhilarating to say the least. For those that did not get through, came late or did not get in at all?my condolences.
