Yup, they canceled it a day or 2 ago. Instead of refreshing the playstore device section' I'm refreshing my local news site here in southern Maine. I hate it when real life gets in the way of my new toys! :laugh:

Google canceled the press event on Monday due to the weather....

Gamestop Nexus 7 confirmed in stock

Just confirmed with a personal friend of mine that is a manager of a gamestop. They currently have their stock of Nexus 7s in stock and ready to be sold but are waiting on Asus to give a street date for them. :good:
Already confirmed and there is a topic for this.
Good luck with that. Asus and Google won't want to upset those that ordered at the announcement online, when they could have walked to the end of the road and picked one up instore quicker.
Expect store units to be delayed until after the initial shipments of online ordered have been dispatched to prevent a PR nightmare.

Well just called to confirm my preorder at gamestop. They asked when I preordered and since I was the first one to preorder they said mine is available for pickup tomorrow. Apparently not all of the preorders will be filled tomorrow and it depends on where in line you are. There has been many many cases of devices being available earlier at a local store than people received them direct from the manufacturer. This looks to be the same :highfive:
My gamestop called me saying my preorder will be ready for pickup tomorrow at store opening

Lucky!!
I ordered mine on July 7th, so I'm thinking I have to wait a little while :crying:
This is great news! I hope J&R ships mine in the next week then!
I'm kinda surprised cause I have heard about other game stops saying July 31 and emails that have said not to sell it.
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
I suggest you get there at opening, and don't give them time to read their corporate EMails.
That's my plan. I asked if they were doing a midnight release and I was told this isn't big enough for that. I would be there waiting inline.

Just called and confirmed myself, so I'll be picking mine up tomorrow, hot darn.

Fack!
:crying:
I pre-ordered on June 26th (thru the Play Store) just after the Nexus 7 was announced at Google I/O. It grieves me to know that I would have been better off waiting two days and ordered thru GameStop after it was announced that they would be selling the Nexus 7 Tablet, because waiting two more days to place the order would have gotten the tablet in my hands faster. (This is going to make for some really bad PR for Google...)
Edit: Had the wrong date of July 4th... (wrote from memory and remember a big event on July 4 - LHC announcement of finding the Higgs partical... Somehow crossed that with the Google I/O event the previous week)

i pre ordered yesterday at the store, the guy told me august 1st but probably earlier. went back today to finish paying it off and the same guy told me that they had to wait for asus and google to set a release date. he also said that i will more than likely have it in my hands way before august 1st but couldnt give me an exact date. heres to hoping i get that call tomorrow or the next day. congrats to those of you that are getting it tomorrow, assholes! im jealous
Game stop in Tampa Brandon Fl is selling them tomorrow
For a fact don't believe me call 813-657-1611 I am ****ing pissed I will never order anything from Google again

NOBODY is getting it until google and asus announce the official date.. unless you went to Google I/O... they cant and will not give it up before its official.. maybe that is a big hint that tomorrow might be the day, who knows. all i know is that even if it is tomorrow, my local gamestop hasnt recieved their shipment yet, so i wont even recieve mine unless it comes tonight (IF it comes out tomorrow)
So half the GameStops are saying come and pick up and half are saying we were told we have to hold them so I guess you just have to be lucky

Official 'Book Cover' for the UK?

Hi, my Nexus 10 32GB arrived today - I was out, so it'll be delivered tomorrow - and I see that online people are talking about the 'book cover' which clips onto the back being announced officially. I can see nothing on the Google Play store in the UK and I wondered whether anyone had any information as to where I might get one?
Many thanks, in advance...
Damn your's arrived today and you're from the UK? What time did you order? Ordered mine at 8:39am and nothing has arrived yet....
With regards to the book cover nothing has been official announced yet. Rumor is that is wasn't available for mass shipping on launch day.

Yes, I got lucky and ordered it at around 0830 yesterday. Clicked 'buy' a half-dozen times and it kept going wrong, so I was a bit stressed that I'd end up with loads! Even then, it hung on the confirmation screen, so I wasn't sure I had it until I got the email at around half-ten.
Then I blew it by being out this morning and missing delivery! :silly:
Any rumour as to when the cover will be launched - and will it only be available from the Play Store?
Wow, that was quick. I also ordered mine at about 8:44am yesterday and mine's still pending in Google Wallet.

Wow very lucky! Just out of curiosity what is your payment status showing as in Google Wallet? I guess the cover will be only available from the PlayStore when it's launched.

There is a rumour that they shelved the original design because of bad reviews and its currently being re-designed so it can be used as a stand etc, But nothing official as yet.
Yikes lucky guy, I ordered half an hour before you almost and still pending. Clearly there was no first come first serve sort of thing. They told me to expect it early next week when I called

I don't really want to use it as a stand or anything, the pretty red one I saw in a google video is perfect for what I want. Maybe if they are no longer going to sell these they could donate one to me
You would think one of the third-party vendors would be taking advantage of that ability to attach to the rear of the Nexus 10, but everything I see required you to push it into a pocket that boarders the screen.

Limbo Level 3 corner

This is a post for limbo level 3 individuals only.
Looks like we are the Forgotten ones and betrayed ones as well.
Please post any shipping information you might received from Google, those that have not received anything, hang in there I'm with you!
Here's my latest update:
we are the poor suckers left as last on the list, I'll wait itll next monday, after that I'm saying fck google and getting something else
My order still says Nov 13 and shipping estimate 15th. Would it kill them to update it?
Everytime I call in they say it's still "processing". I am under the impression that lots of people get stuck in processing and forgotten about. Thinking about calling CSR and asking them to refer me to a specialist so I can get my shipping estimate updated at least for christ' sake.
Limbo level 3, BO email, but my date has changed from 13 to 17 to 19 so maybe there is still hope something might happen soon .

Same here mine has been changed to the 19th but we still don't know what that means and I have a bad feeling that we will be waiting for at least a week and a half while others schedule enjoy the new shiny toy over the holiday.
Ordered exactly at 12pm EST, and I got back ordered. Its insane. I don't know how people were still allowed to order afterwards if they already didn't have enough phones in stock.

Yeah I am in the same boat as both of you. While I did lie to a service rep yesterday and told them I did not get the BO email and they said they sent my case to a specialist, so we will see if anything comes out of that.

Isn't the fact that they updated it to the 19th a good thing?
The last time mine was updated was the 13th, which makes it seem like they're not even bothering with it anymore :crying:
in
EDIT:
just found out that the temporary authorization on my account is gone as of this morning.
im now suicidal.
It's getting so frustrating that at times I want to just cancel but I know that I might regret that since I already have a purchase order from Google. I just wish this ordeal was over like today, either way if anyone gets any shipping info please post it on here as soon as possible I will do the same!

You would think so but we have no evidence that this is a positive thing either way I guess it can't be a negative thing right? Lol
Limbo Level 3 here as well
Order pending in Google Wallet with 13 November being the last update.
Delivery estimate still 15 November in Play Store.
Last comms from Google was BO email.
I am in the UK.
:banghead:
Not to sound so negative but I'm hoping that we don't get our phones the actual third week and then a week later it's available to all the public which I want everyone to get it but it's not fair that we ordered on the same day that it went on sale and yet we're going to get it so late
If we dont get our phone by today which is the 5th processing day we have more leverage on demanding for a free shipping or bumper.
That's all I'm saying. I want the phones today or tomorrow because I have been more than patient about the situation.
I am too heavy to be doing the Limbo Level 3. Come on Google....just give me a status! No emails since the day of ordering? Why punish early adopters?

Yeah, it's better for us to consolidate information into this thread as well as topics about this phone. I came from S3 then I sold it because the problems we're emerging ever so slightly so I'm using a symbian phone atm :lol:
Been eyeing this since day one!
As soon as it hits the UK market, I'll have my mom grab one and get it send over here in the PH! :victory:

Ditched my S3 3 months ago and I'm using a symbian phone till this phone gets released. I sure hope they used the rumored Nikon tech on this Nexus on the camera!
Yes, but i'm gonna wait for a few months and see if it will not be a disappointment like what happened to the N4.
Dbgadgets thru their fb page announced availability by Nov 5 for 24k. It may sound high but that's the reality for countries without gadget purchasing ability thru play store. Same as when n4 was initially released here

Provide pics please! I went to LG yesterday just to ask when N5 will be released, no formal announcement was issued as of late. Maybe we will expect it by mid November or December. I'll wait for it to come out at GH though, N4 at GH at its prime was around 16-18k.
A mate of mine at LG says it will be out for release in late December early January. No promises though, they are concentrating on the LG flex release.
