My 8GB was also changed to preorder on December 6th...can't get any explanation why thoughordered 8gb on 11/27, google changed it to pre order on dec 6, nothings happened.
That is true, I know some people got it though. 8GB is honestly a stupid choice, you only get 5GB overall after the android operating system and everything else, can't even store half of music and that's without any apps.
I disagree that its a stupid choice. Most of my storage is already in the cloud. My music, movies, photos are all in one cloud service or another, so the 8GB made perfect sense to me.
Just because it doesn't work for you, doesn't mean that its stupid. I have no need to carry all 15,000 songs I have in my phone at all times. I only need to be able to have truly unlimited internet and access to them when I need them.
Unless you have unlimited, your data is going to get drained quickly...
And if you have 500 songs, that's a large portion of your space gone.
I have T-Mobile truly unlimited no throttling data cap, so why do I need everything on my phone? I only need to be able to get to it anytime I need to, which I can. If you don't have an unlimited plan then the 16GB makes more sense, its a wasted $50 to me though.
Even if I didn't have unlimited I'd spend that $50 on a 32GB Wi-Drive or spend $90 and get a 64GB. that would work fantastic for my needs. Maybe not yours, I wouldn't call you stupid for getting something other than me though
Or maybe the fact that you can't do those (whatever a wi-drive is, i think it's a usb thing for a removable disk) unless you root it but yeah you can.
I ordered my 8 gigabyte Nexus4 on November 27, and it was shipped out to me on December 4.
I ordered it right when they became available that day I think 12:33 or 1203, I can't quite remember. My estimated time of delivery was 4 to 5 weeks.What time did you get your order in? What did they claim the wait time was supposed to be?
