Well, I ordered mine from the Play Store on the 9th, a 32 GB white version. It shipped late at night Friday (EST). This is a big change for me as I have been using iPhones since 2011 and didn't own any smartphones before that. I'm excited though. I knew it was time, I am done with iOS. I just can't wait for it to get here (according to tracking, the 15th).
It's the Sprint version, I already read up on some problems people were having and I got the SKU for the UICC card I need and got an online rep to mail one out to me. I just upgraded to an iPhone 5s in September, so I will be selling that phone to cover the cost of the Nexus (and then some).
