Google should give every1 free 2-days shipping cuz the estimated shipping is 1-2 weeks. How does that make any sense at all when you paid for 2-days shipping?
Nexus 4 will be available today at Noon PST
- Thread starter bmolloy
- Start date
Stopped worrying, lifted weights. Clicked proceed and it went through. So those who ordered initially will receive it in 1-2 weeks while I have to wait 2-3
I actually got in about 2hrs ago, since I was pressing proceed button like a mad man on my phone when I finally got through my battery died......... Just came here now and tried for a couple of minutes and got in. Ship time is 2-3 weeks but the great thing is your not charged till it actually ships. I might sell the 16gb I ordered and buy another one. Hopefully in about 2-3 weeks there will be more available.
Total came out to $383.93

Yay. Ordered it using the enter key. Now I have to hang on to my non-working tbolt for a month! Owell, Atleast I can text and use the internet, just not the phone part.
I am trying the traversing using Tab and then using Enter key and I still get the message.
"Due to high demand, your order could not be processed. Please try again later"
Please let me know if I am doing something wrong. I have tried this on chrome and ie.

I did it on Chrome. Hold down the enter key. It worked within like 5 seconds for me. I also did it a few times by just clicking with the mouse, but it never fully went through with my order.
5:58 PM CST my order for a 16gb went through and immediately got an order confirmation via email. Bad news is 2-3 week delivery window. Oh well, and least I got an order in and reserved a spot in line.
Continued hitting "proceed" until I got through, using Safari on my iPhone. Glad I had the foresight to set up a Google Wallet account, which made payment a snap.
I have to say, this whole mess still seems very odd to me. There is no way this phone is THAT popular that they could not keep up with demand. I have 2 friends that know what a Nexus is, yet I bet the vast majority of people have no clue what it is. Honestly, outside of communities like this, it's a fairly obscure and unknown thing. I personally dont buy the explanation of "They arent in the retail business." For a company that darn near runs the internet, and has resources comparable to companies like Apple and Amazon, this shouldve gone much smoother e even if they had low stock and oversold. The only reasons for this whole fiasco I can think of are:
1) Google's servers were overwhelmed by a few scalpers getting many accounts to buy simultaneously, like they do with concert tickets. Actual individuals with just one computer got pushed aside from brute force.
2) Google is trying to create hype by purposely limiting supply. I have a feeling that's what happened with the iPhone 5 and they may have been following suit.
3) They had a ridiculously low supply and just got caught with their pants down.

Seems like my Paypal account was charged? Shipping soon or maybe just a temporary authorization? Regardless I know I will have this phone soon.
It was either $400 for an S3 on Metropcs or $400 of a Nexus 4......

Whoever came up with the tab > enter trick is a genius. Was clicking manually for 15 minutes with no luck and then did the trick a got it in about 5 minutes. WOOHOO!!!
Even though why am I paying for 2 day shipping when it won't ship out in upwards of 2 weeks? :-\
Also, is everybody's order showing as "pending" in your Google wallet?

Yes, and I feel your pain about waiting weeks for shipping while paying for "2 day shipping"...

When your order does finally ship you are paying for 2 day shipping. It's easy to comprehend if you think about it for a second. Basically they are taking our orders now and when the phone is available to ship it will be shipped via a fast method of 2 day shipment. Also remember we will not be charged until your phone ships (I believe).
Phew, thanks for confirming. I was getting paranoid about order "pending."
Ah, now we wait! I don't mind 2 or 3 weeks much, I'm glad to have peace of mind knowing it's boughtten and on it's way. It was getting so tempting just shelling out an extra $150 and buying it outright from some scalper, but I'm glad I waited.
