I ended up with 4 of these phones and never got even an email from Google Play stating the phone was for sale in US. I grabbed some lunch early around 11:20EST and when I got back to my desk at work around 11:45EST, I clicked the F5 and sure enough the 'Add To Cart' button was up?! I got lucky, but still never actually knew they were on sale yet
But kinda useless if everyone signed up for an "early" or "start" email as to when these were going on sale...
