Of all the outrageous things
This one definitely tops the scale http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2394835,00.asp#fbid=2fPqAhqQ211
Reserve iPhone 4S for pickup at the Apple Retail Store.
iPhone 4S is available in store by reservation only. Reserve yours after 9:00 p.m. tonight for pickup tomorrow. When you come in, you’ll choose a carrier and plan, and we’ll get your iPhone up and running before you leave the store.
In my local Apple store people wait in line for hours to get the 4S.

Sounds like BS to me - other retailers have them in stock in their building, and there is no way the FCC would let that happen. I'm guessing ABT simply under-ordered and didn't anticipate this much presales.

There is such a thing as an "injunction" which could happen after shipping but before sales, should there be some violation of applicable regs or administrative laws.
Correct me if I'm wrong but why would the FCC get involved? How does this have anything to do with them?
Anyway, no this is not true. If it were we would hear it somewhere other then a small tech site who received a random tip from a customer of an unknown company

Not buying that explanation yet, especially from a no-name tech site with a "?" in the headline. The Tablet should have cleared the FCC weeks ago.
FWIW, a friend of mine picked up one of these at a local Office Depot this morning. I just went there and was denied. I was told by the manager that OD Corporate issued an email this morning to STOP selling them, as there was an FCC hold in place, and any sales could result in $10k fines per occurrence. Not sure if this is true or not, but figured I would share.
They had one left in stock, and the manager said he would hold it for me in his office. Crossing my fingers for tomorrow.

I believe the Nokia WiFi thing would be an FCC issue but don't quote me on that.
The same thing basically happened to the HTC evo 4g late I believe. People who pre ordered it had to wait an additional week or so because of some hold up like this.

That was an ITC injunction and had nothing to do with the FCC.

Exactly. Once a device is cleared by the FCC, which this was months ago, they are done. Any patent dispute would involve the ITC not FCC

Yeah, they've started shipping already and all pre orders should be out the door within 3 days. I'm estimating the 19th at the latest. http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...-should-ship-within-the-next-3-business-days/

Yeah, but that pretty much makes your post completely irrelevant. Yes, injunctions can happen, but this thread is about an FCC injunction.
You might as well have posted that terrorists hijacked the Asus ship bringing them to the USA.
Bottom line; thread is BS because units are shipping, proving that the response from ABT is a lie.

This makes even less sense than the initial post.
The N7 carries an FCC lable, the distributer is not responisble for the compliance of whomever applied the lable.
This whole thread smells of saleman pass the buck BS.
Distributer: Hey, when can we get some of these, everybody is asking.
Sales Dude: It will be another week or two because (make up any 3rd party excuse).
MOD EDIT: For those wondering why this thread is closed....
This is not a normal "country thread". It's an offtopic thread.
The OP decided to rename the thread to hide its OT character.
Have a look at this post example for the real title:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37044359&postcount=5751
TL;dr: The OP renamed it from Nexus 4 - U.S. Hangout Thread to Nexus 4 - U.S. Discussion Thread (Not a hangout by any means)
8GB - https://play.google.com/store/devices/details?id=nexus_4_8gb
16GB - https://play.google.com/store/devices/details?id=nexus_4_16gb

It was getting annoying seeing all other countries on the play store thread saying they were ordering. Figured we could have our own thread just for us patriots

Most likely a lot more than you would pay on the play store. Probably somewhere around 499 if I had to guess

Well stay on that F5 key at 8 because the US may have more stock but I'm pretty sure you will have more people in line to order!!
Heard the US already sold out, so I wouldn't bother trying.
still debating on this, keep iphone 4s or make the switch to android again. Custom roms and constant flashing?
They need to release this already. I'm tired of waiting goddamnit.

from all reports - the web site was slow, crashing and overwhelmed for UK ordering - some people said by the time they got to the second screen to confirm the phone was sold out. This could be messy.

I hope that this is not old news for everyone.
I am not sure, how reliable this is, but redstar (http://www.redstar.co.jp/google.htm) thinks, that the official announcement/release of the nexus5 will be on october 14th.
They accept pre-orders for just under 50.000 Yen (~380€ / 510US$) and say, they will ship it for that price, even it get's more expensive.
If it costs less, they will refund the difference.

Well, last year they had a presser scheduled but a hurricane derailed it so they had a "private" announcement through TheVerge.com and let Josh Topolsky play with the devices and show them on camera.
I imagine it might be something again along those lines with google play store taking pre-orders on the 15th and shipping by month's end.
I should hope there's an announcement before the release. I need to put my nexus 4 on ebay, wait for it to sell, payment to process, etc
Wish I could just afford the phone straight up. Still not going to get a better phone for the price off contract if the 299/399 rumors are true. Really have my fingers crossed that the 32gb coming with a 3000 battery are true, and that the camera on this will be at least as good as the camera on my gs2 was.

I hope too. I hope there will be some youtube live stream to watch, too. I find myself starting to enjoy those. At least as long as they don't contain too much untrue marketing stuff (cough*Note3*cough).

With the faster storage onboard, its worth the extra to get the 256, (I guess you can get a UFS card to make the smaller ones have more storage, but i'm planning on using the TF slot to take my camera's SD card so i can edit and post photos I take with my regular camera on the go).
Good to know I wont be the only one looking for information for the Korean model XD
