Google S4 availability and shipping?

[quietlybrilliant]

Do people have experience with how this works? Online orders will start this Wed, but when will they ship? Immediately or weeks later?

Hard to know for sure, the Nexus 4 launch didn't exactly go smoothly.

When I order it Wednesday, I'd love to have it by Friday. I don't think that is gonna happen. Hopefully, I'm wrong.

My question is specifically when will it go on sale? Midnight? What time zone? I contacted Google Play via phone and Chat service - no definitive answer. They suggested 'checking around midnight'. Midnight when? Eastern, Pacific? It irritates me that they are unwilling to release this information a day before sale and just expect us to hit the 'refresh' button around midnight eastern time in hopes that it might surface for sale. Would suck to stay up late doing that through a couple time zones; then finally go to bed, only to wake up the next morning to a sell-out or 3 week shipping delay because I missed it when it came live at, say, 4:30am...

Any insight or inside info would be greatly appreciated. Anxious to order. Would love to go to bed at 12:05am with the warm fuzzy of a confirmed order and 2-day shipping option.
Good luck to all.

This is what they did with the nexus 4...it actually went on sale at 8:55am PST.

The website mentioned above quoted no officials from Google and gave no sources for its claim that the phone would go on sale at 9am. They were probably just guessing

I find it a little odd there really has been no talk or nothing about this phone since it was announced.

No reviews either. You would think there would of been of review by now.

There can only be reviews if Google provides the reviewers with advance copies, which they clearly haven't done

I agree. There should have been something on AC about it

 

[Stein357]

I would think Google/Samsung/HTC would have released a press statement saying they're not going to be available today if that was case.

 

[K Sizl]

True that. 14 after 10am PST - nothing on Google Play....

Which makes me think is the phone even ready yet?

Someone on twitter or somewhere from Google you would think would of mentioned something reminding everyone the phone is coming out today.

Nexus 4 was hyped to no end.

It's only 9am, I wouldn't give up on the day just yet

 

[spridell]

Maybe if we dont see anything soon, AC can do some digging see if they can get an answer from Google
