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

[Haze]

do accessories, like cases for the phone not get released untill the day ? i can not really find anything, wanted to get a shopping list ready

 

[_Jimlad_]

They did market the Galaxy Nexus quite a bit, I remember quite a few adverts for it.

yeah well hurricane sandy caused that event to be cancelled,

they need the phone out before 22nd of November, as in the USA that is 'thanksgiving day' and although not quite as good as xmas in sales terms generates a lot.

the job i applied for @ google is for a nexus market manger... i would love a shot

 

[tom_e]

rather annoyed i cant access the play store :/ is there anyway in tricking it to allow me to access?

Go through a mainland UK based proxy?

Doesn't work you can only order through the play store from a credit or debit card with a UK address.

 

[yer_averagejoe]

How many Nexus 4 adverts have you seen on TV considering its due out tomorrow?

How many iPhone 5 adverts did you see the day before its release?

Channel Islands doesn't count ?

Not seen anything for it in the UK but that should change tomorrow.

Are you going to get one?

It would be rude not to.

 

[AndyCr15]

Okay, so shall we count how many we see over the next 3 or 4 days, then ask the question. Maybe that would make you feel better?

 

[AndyCr15]

I think it's the reverse actually. I think this is Android's flagship. This is the phone that Google thinks best represents the Android experience in 2012 (and looking forwards) Samsung and the like may have their own flagships but it's very much a Samsung flagship rather than an Andoid flagship, they tinker with things and add their own features to make it a Samsung product.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion. Many of us would say your opinion is wrong is all.

 

[jazzy68]

Anyone had an update or heard what time the ordering system goes live in the Uk yet?

 

[AndyCr15]

I'm hearing around 10am PT, which would be around 6pm UK time...

 

[Cosimo]

Well this time around I'm going to be rude.

Update: Your will for me crazy explain (and rightly so), but I have just received the news that the Nexus devices (N4, N7 and N10) now but tomorrow morning (for breakfast) will be available through Google Play!

I hope that you consider this as good news.

Sorry for the back-and-forth - but I'll keep you updated in near real-time updates ...

That's from a German google employee, so around 8AM in the UK I imagine.

People: If I had ne specific time, I would betray you. I give in this case continues, only the information that I have ...

OK

I think we need to make the distinction between "android phone" (Nexus) and "android-powered phone" (Galaxy S3). This is certainly a flagship for Android itself because it will be used to develop and test new features before they go to other manufacturers. Whether it's a flagship for Android as a broader entity is another question - given the lack of promotion for this device and relatively low consumer mindshare I'd be inclinded to say no. That title is better suited to the Galaxy S3.

 

[Azza]

Germany is an hour ahead so that would be 8AM.

 

[Woden]

Have to choose soon. 8GB or 16GB?

 

[TheVoice]

16GB of course!

Think I'm all prepared, I'll be at work early tomorrow so I've added a bookmark of the Nexus 4 page on the Play Store to my phone, added my credit card to Google Wallet, signed in and visited the pages a few times to ensure they're cached. Hopefully that'll help the fact that O2's 3G where I work is appalling!
