im worried now :/ i ordered a few minutes past 4 (uk). Will see what happens, hope google somehow manage a huge stock in the next few days and send everyone their nexus 4s by next week
just spoke to Google customer services and they told me since they don't have the devices at the moment it is showing a 'pre ordered' status will change to 'ships in 3-5 days' or something similar once they have the devices
I did the same and received the same email. on the play store under the orders section, for my nexus 4 the 'status' is showing 'pre ordered' is it the same for you?
