Still pending
Ordered mine (16GB) on 4th Dec at 5:38, still at pending now
Money allocation is gone from my account (does not show up on statement but funds are not available (price of the phone).
No shipping confirm or anything - seems i'm unlucky

I'm going to cancel my order with Google Play, the order is still pending with an estimate of 5-6 weeks delivery. With all the discounts just after Christmas, I don't think its worth the wait, probably be able to get an S3 for a closer price by then...
Has anyone else noticed ghosting on their N4's screen? I only got it yesterday but this is the first thing I noticed in comparison to my S2. It seems like a low refresh rate or response time PC monitor. It's definitely quite noticeable when swiping between home screens with the clock widgets up.
Just me?

Not heard that from anyone else yet, and I have read pretty much everything I can non stop for two days!
I'm sure you have tried, but just in case full charge and reboot, clear any running tasks and check that doesn't make a difference?
Off this topic:
Anyone receive their phone while the order was still at pending on google wallet?
I know it's not even 10am yet, but I've got very little patience about this issue so I rang LG. They are going to give me a call back. Fingers crossed they can sort something where I don't have to lose my phone by sending it in and waiting for another one. In fact, that's not really an option for me.
I haven't even installed any apps yet
The phone is running perfectly smooth it's just the screen, could be faulty? Or maybe I'm being overly picky.

Depends where you're using it.
LCD panels get 'sluggish' at very low temperatures and do not react as quick, so if you're outside and its below zero deg then you will notice ghosting.

Actually might be an issue:
"One area where the phone is severely limited however, is in the performance of the 720p IPS display. When scrolling between homescreens, a noticeable ghosting appears on widgets as you swipe left to right. It’s unclear whether this is simply a software problem, or due to the limitations of the display’s refresh rate. Either way, it is absolutely ghastly to look at, and once you notice it, there’s no going back. This is unfortunate too, because with the introduction of Project Butter in Android 4.1, these types of performance issues were supposed to become much less apparent."

But I have not seen anyone else mention it...
*Edit*:
Please note the rest of the review is really positive and raves about the quality of the screen, just an issue they found with ghosting was a negative - in before I get flamed

Ah hmm, yes that matches what I'm experiencing. But really, it's only a minor issue, I wanted to make sure it's not only me though. I think I can live with it
Can anyone else confirm they can notice the ghosting?
This is pathetic. LG want to do a full inspection on the phone in order to rule out physical or liquid damage. Well, it's pretty obvious what's going to happen when they see the screen. I'm fuming! In addition, they need 7-10 days with it before making a choice.

Good to hear, should mine ever ship I can rest assured. Always worrying when you hear problems with handsets as you cant tell yourself when you dont have your own here to compare
How does the glass feel? Review seem to go on about how breakable it is, but I am coming from an iPhone 4S, which is also glass back and front, cant be too dissimilar surely?
Looks like others hadn't noticed it, but they might now you've pointed it out. How mean!

Haha, blame google/TNT for not getting me my nexus 4 here, giving me time to ruin it all for the rest of you!
Ba humbug indeed
I think you've missed the point of the Nexus there tbh!
This is ridiculous. I’m sure you shouldn’t have to go to LG anyway, you purchased it from a shop and your contract is with that seller, they should sort this out if the product is faulty or I guess arguably ‘not fit for purpose’ if it broke that easily.
I don’t know the ins and outs of these things though, I wonder if it’s worth you asking on a forum where people are likely to know more about consumer rights, moneysavingexpert or somewhere like that?
