Is it a micro sim you cut yourself? If so have you cut over any contacts or anything by mistake that may cause it not to work? This dosen't sound good as I use giffgaff!

did not cut it myself.
it was like this

eek :O Has this SIM card worked in any other phone before the N4?

 

[sonic_rm]

its great....but it doesnt recognize giffgaff card!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have you been using the sim card or is it a new one ? what's the error no sim card or emergency calls only (could be a faulty or inactive sim)

Crikey! Were they part of one order or was each a separate order?

 

[sonic_rm]

From that article...

"There are other wireless charging systems used by companies like Powermat, but these are not compatible with Qi devices."

Ya so power mats are a no go then !

Could be a faulty port on the N4, you got any other sim cards to test ?

Tom works at a retailer iirc so they maybe stock rather than his own.

The phones were in one order from google, the tablets were from a normal e-shop. We have 4 nexus 7s at work and 2 nexus 4s now.

I think we are all missing the most important point here. Not you bastic, I would be right royaly urinated off. Do other sims work in it?

To those that have received it ... Did you get Harribo?

 

[AndyCr15]

As I asked several posts ago, do you have a different SIM to test in the N4?

Also, rather obvious but has been done before, is it definitely clicked into place?

 

[rG-tom]

Nope I work for an engineering company

I did think I was wrong after I read the invoice under them

The dedicated email support team that really didn't have a clue when dealing with my refund. One thing google definitely need to take a leaf out of apples book for is customer service as theirs is appalling.

Filling me with confidence there...!

Anyway, first impressions of the phone, the buttons are too recessed (as noted in at least one of the reviews). Aside from that however, it feels incredibly solid. When the reviews say that the display is a bit washed out, colours aren't quite as saturated as the iPhone 5's display, however, if you didn't have them side by side you wouldn't know any better. The display is nearly as good. And fantastically wide!

It's very comfortable to hold, more so than the iPhone's sharp edges. Easy to pick up too, the iPhone 5 is so flat at the back that it sometimes gets sucked onto the table.

It feels a bit jittery when scrolling through the app drawer, however there is a system update available (that I won't be installing as the phone is ultimately not mine).

Camera's low resolution previews will prove to be a pain in the arse, as you constantly think that everything is out of focus.

Not much more else to add, it's a stock Android phone.

Will post pictures if people want, however somebody with a decent camera will be able to do a better job.

Apologies but it's best that you are mentally prepared for it rather than expecting a smooth process.
