***The Official LG Nexus 4 Thread***

I really don't think anyone can answer that question for you. Some people who ordered late got lucky but I think thats over as they really do seem to have run out completely. I guess they could screw up again when they get more stock and issue you one early but you'd hope they've learnt from this. So 6-7 weeks really is your best guess. It could be sooner, and maybe it will with the amount of people saying they've cancelled orders, but then again it could be longer, but don't expect any news from Google.

Ah thanks for your opinion, considering other options as my ZTE Blade/San Francisco is on its last legs. :)

I'm in a similar position to you. I need a new phone ASAP as I lost my Desire HD and are currently without a phone.

I've toyed with the idea of going to CPW and getting a N4, but it really grates that you're basically giving them £110 for nothing.

I've been waiting a long time for a suitable, cheap phone to come along and although it costs £110 more than it should, it's still one of the best phones out there. Forking out the extra cash does seem like a good idea at the moment in my opinion.

Why would you think theyve learnt from it - same thing happened during the last lauch AFAIK :p. Lets see what Tuesday brings :)

Times like this when I realise why I pay over the odds to Apple - so far this equates to what we used to enjoy back when broadband didnt exist and Amazon wasnt called Amazon...

iPhone 5 looks more attractive by the day, if it wasn't for the Nexus 4 being stupidly cheap I might have a iPhone 5 right now. Just sucks as I promised someone my S2 next week and now it seems I will be waiting for another 3-5 weeks >.>
 
just saw a local ad for a used s3 for £300 unlocked really tempted to cancel with all this waiting and such :confused:

part of me wants the n4 badly the other wants a smartphone now :D

Yeah good point, it was more in hope than expectation really. :)

Id treat Google Play the same as ordering off a dodgy website, so pretty much any expectation is gonna be unfounded - ever dealt with a company where the running in-joke is that you (and them) actually really have no idea when your product will ship and if theyll actually tell you its shipped or when they might actually charge you. :D

Last time I had this was when the X850XT PE was released as vapourware and it took months to actually materialise :eek:

If that was ebay and a trader who wouldnt be screaming SCAM and told not to order :p

Email last night from Google:

Thank you for contacting Google Play! I understand that you're concerned about the status of your order placed through the Google Play Store. I'd like to first apologize for the delay in response time. I have reviewed your account and I am more than willing to assist you with this matter. I shows that your order was set to be delivered with five day from the date you placed your order. Unfortunately your device is late, and I recommend that you call in to dispute the shipping charges. However since you've not been charged for your device It's safe to assume that your order has been back order. I've forwarded your case to a specialist to begin working to resolve your issue as soon as possible. I'm requiring that the specialist gives me a date as to when you can expect your device. If you can't wait you do have the option to cancel.

In the meantime, if you come across any other information that you'd like to pass along, please feel free to reply to this email. Your responses will automatically go to the specialist working on your case.

Thanks again for your patience and understanding.

When they say recommend you to "call in" I assume they mean for you to give them a phone call, rather that pop in to their offices (which might be a bit difficult!) although as you have already contacted them that does seem a bit silly!

As has already been said, I don't really know why it requires a 'specialist', to try and 'resolve the issue', which looks more like incompetence and bad stock control than anything else.

I am sure that the way they have handled their recent phone and tablet 'launches' will have lowered the way a lot of folk feel about them. Up until recently I held them in the same high regard which I have for companies such as Amazon, but not any more... and I am sure that I am not the only one who will think very seriously before ordering from them again!
