Google employees given Google Nexus

griffo_001 · 10 Jan 2010 at 20:12

iirc its on the other android builds, but what makes the Nexus special is that it can be used with EVERY text input field, rather than just a few, such as the dialler.

Got the "shipped" email on Friday 8th so I'm hoping to have it tomorrow / Tuesday

If it was shipped from US on Friday, you should get it tomorrow - Tuesday if you're further from the arrival airport

DHL have never failed me in 2 working day delivery from the US

Well I only live a few miles from East Midlands Airport where DHL have a hub so I guess I'm not too far from the arrival airport

The tracking screen worries me though - all it says is "Shipping details received" and nothing else

Ironic Namesake · 10 Jan 2010 at 22:09

If that's all it says, chances are pretty low it'll arrive on Monday - would have more tracking details otherwise!

I had a shipment from US sent to me on Thursday :

It's currently the only way for brits to get one

6thElement · 11 Jan 2010 at 05:19

I almost want one just for skymap but wouldn't get 3G on my network

mrk · 11 Jan 2010 at 08:05

You get skymap on all Android phones.

atpbx · 11 Jan 2010 at 08:07

I might get the old man to send me one of these if they turn out to be any good.

chris74 · 11 Jan 2010 at 15:41

Ive tried to buy this using my visa debit (not Electron) and it refuses.

Sufficient funds and no blocks at Lloyds end.

Anyone else suffer from this that may have a workaround?.

Hen_Dawg · 11 Jan 2010 at 21:36

There's one of these on the bay for £535 as its coming from the UK with the seller saying

US Prices may be cheaper but when you include UK VAT and Import Duty they are well over the price of £545 that i am offering!

Errr... No

Damn, some are trying to get £580!

Richdog · 12 Jan 2010 at 07:03

Sorry guys but who barring a complete idiot would pay more than £500 for one of these? Beggars belief.

fluffmct · 12 Jan 2010 at 07:54

Shipping received! Finally. Now the long wait! haha.

I got a tracking number through 13 hours ago. I guess this will get collected later today as US is some time behind and arrive on Thursday

People are dim, it's that stupid tax again. Sell some yourself!
