The 3g 32gb Nexus will be released tomorrow. Has anyone seen any signs that they are available anywhere besides the play store? I would like to avoid the taxes and/or shipping changes.
PS Does the play store take returns if i have a screen lift problem.
PPS Since I currently do have a 7" tablet, I don't need to buy tomorrow. However, I would like 2 !!!

1) Outside of a T-Mobile "internal" document, I haven't seen any real confirmation about the release tomorrow (or technically today). It very well might happen, but it also might not. I'm hoping B&M stores carry them too, but it's unknown right now.
2) Yes, you have 15 days (or something like that) for a return and a full year warranty directly through Play Store - if you buy through them.
3) Is that a question?

3) No, it was not a question. It was a plea for someone to tell me/justify my impulse to just buy the N7 as soon as it is released. I am also trying to resist buying the Nexus 4 on release.

Go to the play store and see what happens when you try to select the 3G N7. My browser seems to be glitching. Edit, NM, its back to normal now.
And the only place it says that this device will be released is on the official google blog, but beyond that, i haven't heard a single thing. I even called the CS line today, and the only thing they told me was that "There is no definite release date."
It was not released in Australia along with the N4 and the N10.

I got an email from the UK Play store this morning saying the 3G model was available, and I have successfully placed an order.

Ditto. Was a bit of a git getting on to the website intially, but I managed and I've ordered it. 3-5 working days delivery (£13.99 p&p) . I got in work late as I didnt want them selling out before I got one... waited bloody ages for this.
It seems that no "bricks and mortar" outlets will currently stock the 3g version of the Nexus 7 in the UK and the only place to get it is Play Store.
32g 3g Nexus 7 starting to come up as out of stock now in the UK
For those of you that got the HSPA+ N7, did you get a notification in your email saying that it had gone on sale first?
NM, I reread people's emails. I need to do that better, haha
from the looks of things, only people in EU/etc are getting availability so far.... which means they prob just checked the store and it was there.

Yeah I got an email at the moment the play store had the Nexus 7 3G in stock. However, I'd been checking it every few minutes anyway
I've been patiently waiting for this to come out, but it seems no stores are stocking it online. Not in the UK so Google Play order while possible, is a bit pointless.
Are there any retailers indicating they'll get stock soon?

There is NO indication at this point that any retailers apart from Google Play will be stocking the 3g version of the Nexus 7. I checked thoroughly or I would have bought in a shop rather than online, as I would have prefered to have checked the thing over.
3G Version is LIVE in the US Play Store.
Website is sloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow.
Haha I ordered it before I ever received the email saying it was ready to go! I hope there are design changes so that the flickering is gone.

WTF. This is pissing me off. I can't get my order to go through. Keeps giving me errors and just hangs.
Plus, their phone support just shut down incoming calls.
Just got my ordered from play store at 9:09am PST. Total was $336.16 (California tax and $13.99 for 2 day shipping). It took me around 10 tries to finally get it to check out.

I finally got through too. My first browser just hung so I did a second order and it went through. Took like 40mins from start to finish. This unit better be perfect. I'm going to return my (perfect) 32GB once I receive the 3G unit, so I'll be pissed if I need to RMA the 3G one for some defect.

Updated Dec 6 1:30AM EST
Below is specific only to the orders from the first day the Nexus 4 was live.
Limbo 1 order fulfillment: ~99%
Limbo 2 order fulfillment: ~99%
Limbo 3 order fulfillment: ~91% (the majority of orders fall into this category)
"fulfillment" = shipped
Above is my educated guess on the status of the shipments that have been going out. I'm constantly tracking this and several other sources for continuing information.
Current status of orders and shipments:
Points below are confirmed:
First major batch shipped Nov 19 (upgraded to Next Day Air).
All orders that took place on the 13th that were back-ordered will be upgraded to Next Day Air for free.
Play Store Customer Service do not have any relevant information about your order. Calling them is nothing short of a complete waste of time.
Orders have not been shipped on a first-come first-serve basis. There is no pattern to the shipments, it is seemingly random. We have indisputable evidence of this.
Addendum to above: It is believed that we are finally going in order. Some of the later orders were shipped first due to an incomplete manifest.
Many people have noticed the last updated date on the Play orders page has changed. No one is certain yet what this might mean.
Points below are likely:
Logistics have been outsourced to UPS.
Order mechanics "slid" during the initial rush of the first few minutes of the product going live. This caused several issues (including an incomplete manifest sent to UPS).
Status of your order (limbos):
1) Order placed. No e-mail of any kind (including order confirmation) received.
2) Order placed. Order confirmation received. No other e-mail of any kind received.
3) Order placed. Order confirmation received. Back-order e-mail received.

Tentative US order time: 09:00AM PST
Changed "confirmed" to "tentative". 09:00AM PST is most likely, but you should be watching out regardless.
These are some of my favorite threads here! We all heard that the Nexus 4 is now official but I'd wager that a lot of us are waiting for preorders to open up on the Play Store.
Post the usual "I ordered!" "It shipped!" etc. here! I, personally, cannot wait for this guy. Just sold my S3 for it.
I did call Google to ask if they were going to open pre-orders for the device. Doesn't look like it this time around, but I was told that you will be able to purchase on November 13th and that stock would start shipping "either on the 13th or the 17th," whatever that means.
Current information (as of Nov 12):
No one knows what time the purchase will go live.
Best guesses are sometime in the morning of the 13th (office hours), or at 00:00 PST. I'm personally leaning toward the former. (NEW: see below)
There will be no pre-order on the Play Store.
Check here for specific country availability.
Check here for more information on shipping and handling for your country.
A Virtual Credit Card (VCC) cannot be used with your purchase in the device store. Also, at this time, the country of your credit card must match the the country to which you're shipping.
Taxable charges, if any, depend on what state you're ordering from.
We do not know what shipping options will be available. Right now, only 2-day shipping is confirmed. We are hopeful for an overnight option at launch.
News added Nov 10:
Android Police got a little clarification from Google-- the rep said pretty much exactly what we've been assuming for the past couple of weeks. They also agree with me that the button will be more likely to go live in the morning sometime, rather than at midnight. See source here: http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/1...-shipments-start-november-13th-no-pre-orders/
News added Nov 13:
A German Google employee has revealed that the Nexus 4 should be selling at "around breakfast time" in Germany. He also mentioned that would be about 8-9AM. This would lead us to believe that the order form will go live at 0:00PST as originally anticipated. Germany is 9 hours ahead of Pacific Standard Time-- aka, 2AM Central, 3AM EST.[/url]
im guessing on nov 13th but they really didnt say.
From the Play Store:
Coming soon!
Available for purchase on Tuesday, Nov. 13th

Sure. But the Play Store says you can purchase it on the 13th.
I would imagine that means a direct purchase. It doesnt mention when pre-orders will start. I for one will definitely be pre-ordering (if possible) this phone. Just hope I can get around £160 for my HTC Desire HD with lots of cases and accessories included

I'll most definitely be getting one of these. The price is good, it looks good, and I really dig the wireless charging. I've many times where I'd just put my phone on my desk, forgot to connect the charger, and fall asleep just to wake up with a (mostly) depleted battery. Finally a worthy replacement for my ageing Nexus one.

It's not too big of a concern. The wireless charging is a more of a luxury than anything. The most important thing is the option is available; the aftermarket solutions either adds thickness or look just plain ugly.

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.

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.

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.
So I'm creating this thread to try and determine a percentage value (%) for how many people were actually able to successfully order the new Nexus 4 device on the Launch Date (Nov 13th, 2012) from the Google Play Store.
NOTE: BTW if you picked up your phone from a retail store/t-mobile/O2(UK) etc, then please do not vote, this is for Google Play Store orders only.
If you successfully ordered 1 or more Nexus 4 devices, then click YES.
If you encountered errors/out of stock/coming soon/ or any sort of processing error which resulted in you not managing to order a device. Then, click NO
Thank You
I'm in Toronto, Canada and was unable to order the Nexus 4 from Google Play, due to server errors.
I tried to order from about 11:36am to 12 noon with no success.
I was able to order mine at 8:34 pacific here in Washington state.
I'm in Germany, I managed to get one after a series of errors. I actually thought I hadn't made it also but then saw an email confirmation later.
But it's not been shipped yet.. :crying:

I was able to order one are 1:00PM EST. Was unsuccessful earlier, but kept refreshing and using Page Monitor Chrome extension. Got a 16GB N4 that is scheduled to ship before the week is over.

I just galled in to get an update on my order status as it is no longer able to be checked via the lets talk website. I was going to find out when it would arrive and then see if I could get a phone locally and cancel my pre-order. The recording when you call says there are now further delays with the 32gb and 64gb developer editions, didn't say anything about carrier specific models and I didn't get through to anyone.
The message also said the double dip free cases are on backorder until mid may as well so you will not have something to protect your phone for the first few weeks if you get one from them.
Just a heads up.

lol we're bouncing back and forth thru threads to see the best Right Now price in a walkin/walkout scenario
It was the 199.99 for me with upgrade and was 699 without.
I had them open a black and a silver so I could hold the real phones next to each other and see which I liked more. Not sure why I feel this way but, the black just looks too much like other phones on the market so I wanted to go with the Silver.
I've called around to several Verizon stores in my area, and they all say that the 128GB will not be available in either Edge or non-Edge until May 1. The Verizon website says the same thing.
Has anyone on Verizon successfully received a 128GB model yet? If so, what's the trick?

Yea, it's hard to wait, but maybe it's a good thing. By May 1, they hopefully will have worked out all the screen-defect issues.

Just asking again: Has anyone bought a 128GB edge in store anywhere?
I just had lunch with a friend of mine who works in a Verizon store as a sales manager there. He told me that the 128GB models were going to be few and far between in the stores because a majority of people coming in didn't need that much storage. A vast majority of the S6's they are selling only have 32gb or 64gb at the most. Its very rare that someone come in off the street and ask for 128gb. If they do, then they point them to the website because it will get fulfilled much faster that way.
In short, if you want one of these things, just put in an order on the website and you will get one a lot faster. Otherwise, if you are determined to pick one up in store, start calling around to all the stores in your area now. If you find one that has one, then ask them to hold it for you and go down and get it. You will be very lucky.

I just had lunch with a friend of mine who works in a Verizon store as a sales manager there. He told me that the 128GB models were going to be few and far between in the stores because a majority of people coming in didn't need that much storage. A vast majority of the S6's they are selling only have 32gb or 64gb at the most. Its very rare that someone come in off the street and ask for 128gb. If they do, then they point them to the website because it will get fulfilled much faster that way.

Thanks a lot cbdudek. That's very helpful information. I was only hoping to buy one in store so that I could immediately inspect it for scratches and return it if necessary. I'm just going to hope that those issues have been resolved or reduced since the scratch thread has died down a bit.

I can confirm his information. A local VZW store manager (that i've known my whole life) said they were basically told they wouldn't be getting any in the store. Might be different at upscale urban locations, but not here in suburbia.

Thanks. No different at "upscale" urban locations either. Apparently, Verizon has a 3-story "Verizon Experience Store" (who the hell knew?) right on Michigan Avenue (a/k/a The Mag Mile) in Chicago--which apparently carries all sorts of accessories and products that normal Verizon's don't carry--and even they don't have it. Of course, they all have 128GB iPhones. F*&#ing A. So frustrating.
Richmond, VA area... No 128GB in the local half dozen stores. I had received my first S6 Edge via preorder but had the screen rotate bug. Went to a local store to return and reorder (Not exchange risking refurbished phone). After 1.5 hour wait on Sunday, it took them another 45 minutes to process the return and they couldn't ever figure out how to process the repurchase at the same price I had online despite no less than 12 trips to the "manager". I gave up on the reorder and went home. BTW, I had already moved my service back to my old phone via tech support on Saturday and factory wiped the return phone. I made this real simple for them... I thought!
Online it took me exactly 2 minutes and 47 seconds to arrange the reorder. At least the store did the return properly so that I had the upgrade credit reinstated. Target ship date 5/1. Received shipping notification today and I will have the replacement tomorrow 5/29...All good! Let's just hope that I have no scratches or repeating rotate bug.!
Lesson for Verizon if they are listening... Your in store experience just plain sucks and needs some serious attention. I will never ever ever go through that again. BTW Verizon, this is the voice of a customer whose records with you ONLY goes back to year 2000. Actual linkage goes back to 1985 with Cellular One.... (Acquisition, acquisition, etc..)
I was told that I could not guarantee a brand new phone if I exchanged online and that the only way to insure I would not get refurbished was to go through the store process I suffered. Never again! I will push and escalate of something like this happens in the future. Anything to avoid "The store". Verizon.. ..Give online (AKA Low cost to you) users the same capabilities as if they go into the store! "Can you hear me now?"
