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

Because 9am nov 13th in the usa comes later than 9am nov 13th in europe? Simple knowledge
Awesome. Hopefully I'll get mine before the weekend so I get to play with it a lot
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.

If people receive their nexus 7 before me, I pre'd on the 28th two weeks ago, I'll be cancelling my order with Google and purchasing from somewhere else. Not only did I/we pay more for pre order ( extra for shipping) were getting them after other people - yeah right Google, ebuyer can have my money!

When you are among the first to order from the only place selling said device at said time, are you not expecting to be getting it before anyone else? When people complained about the shipping cost everyone said "well hey thats what you pay to get it before everyone else" and now those same people are arguing that their own logic doesnt make sense .Not going after you or your post here just using it as a jump off point.
People will get it a day or two before you, not weeks earlier. i can't believe someone would throw such a temper tantrum over something so ridiculous.
It could be worse. At least Google is allowing some choice for people to buy from other retailers. Although their execution of that seems pretty questionable. You were able to pay extra for shipping? I didn't know there was any other shipping choice on Google Play.
A lot of people want this tablet. Does it really matter in the grand scheme of things if your tablet arrives a few days later than someone else? Some people will have theirs tomorrow for sure. If you were able to cancel and then ordered somewhere else it would likely push your arrival date even further than if you just waited for it like everyone else who ordered from Google Play.
Just hang in there, man.

Have fun cancelling, i heard you're going to have to wait for the item to come, refuse shipment, then wait for it to credit back to your account
My issue is if Google is/was able to ship units off to retailers, then why can't they do the same with the preorders? Preorder shipments should have started back when they started shipping units to retailers.
I WANT IT NOW!!
Pre-order means that you reserve your copy so that you are guaranteed a order at release. Not I ordered it on the 28th so I deserve to be the first to get EVERYTHING!!
People always think people OWE them something.. ME ME ME ME ME.
And don't reply telling me that if you run a business how your customer service should be blah blah blah.. All in all google doesn't owe you anything when they haven't even released a date yet.. They said mid july, its not mid july yet, one more week.

They definitely didn't execute things very great. No defined street date which led to reseller confusion. Maybe they couldn't set one because they weren't sure of their own availability and the units they could sell on Google Play.

I would be annoyed if the company released a date when they were going to ship and everyone else's was "OFFICIALLY" shipped before mine..
No one has gotten their N7 yet, so until massive people start getting theirs before you do.. Then I can see to be a little frustrated, but just being mad because its not getting here as fast as you want is dumb.
I've ordered from Google but I also ordered yesterday from Ebuyer. The ebuyer should be delivered this morning as it an am delivery.

Thanks for approching the topic with a bit of respect for others situations, and putting logic first. You are right and ill clarify at least in my situation, my biggest thing is that Google has room to improve their Device Launch procedures ALOT. We all want google to succeed and have many more launches, the criticism is both warranted and neccesary to support the growth of the platform we all love. Am i MAD? NO, but i dont think theres anything wrong with honest criticism of the situation, naturally the people with a vested interest are going to be the ones doing the criticising.
I just got my payment credited back for the purchase of my N7. No communication, notice or email....nothing. So I don't even know if I'm gonna get one or not. Oh well....
To me honestly, I don't care if other stores get it before me, no matter where I pre-ordered. I just care about getting it quickly. Your guaranteed to get a copy plus you get free in store credit along with a movie the whole world has seen and doesn't want to see again :/ . You'll get it when you get it
OK so to add to the Saga of f**k ups by Google, Managed to order 2 phones (one for me and one for my brother) ordered 2x16gb and received 2x8gb. Rang Google to play hell with them and they basically told me that I either return them and wait up to 4 weeks for stock to come in or take the hit and pay £279 for 8gb. This is totally unacceptable but what else can I do?? I sold my S3 when i got my order accepted. :crying:
Ricey
Edit:I apologize for being an ass
thats sucks! well if i were you, i would just send it back and get the 16! and from then till now just use a chippie phone until it arrives... but what an inconvinience

I'm just annoyed by all these whiny people. What he has there is profit. Just sell it on ebay and wait a month. Sure he has every right to return it.

If you do call back, you should probably wait until you cool down a bit. Eventhough it is absolutely Google's mistake, no one responds well to people yelling at them.

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.

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.

This is an English forum.
Here is an idea that requires everyone to participate.
Plan: Try and get Best Buy to sell you a Nexus 5 before official launch. Maybe they have stock already.
Action: Call your local Best Buy and act dumb. Tell them you want to buy the Nexus 5 and to put one on hold for you to pick up. Or walk into a store if you prefer and do the same. Ask them if perhaps they have a Nexus 5 sitting in the back of the store. Make no mention of the fact that it hasn't officially been announced for sale.
I forget exactly which phone was sold before it was officially released a years or so ago. I remember reading that this guy got a phone before time and he was a bit nervous about it but posted details online about it. So this is possible people! If you remember this incident and the phone remind us.
If everyone does it we might get lucky and have more info to share on the Nexus 5.
Of course report back if you are successful. It might even be fun to report the failed outcomes too. Be creative. See if you can snag an inventory screen shot. See if at least they tell you that they are back there but that they can't be touched.
PS - Don't be that guy. If you think this is a stupid plan be polite. Offer your opinion and insight in a respectful way. You can't say it isn't possible because this has happened before. Sure there are practices in place to prevent this. But all it takes is one rookie mistake and things go unexpected. This is all in good fun. We might get lucky!
Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk 4
Who told you it was going to be sold at Best Buy? I see you have a N4, did you get that at Best Buy too?
We don't know if Best Buy is going to sell the Nexus 5. But they might. They sell all the other Google products (Nexus 7, Chromecast, Chromebook, etc). We also know from a particular Canadian store that there is Nexus 5 inventory. So the Nexus 5 isn't going to be exclusive to the Play Store. None if this is definite for Best Buy, but it can't hurt to try our luck. Perhaps Google learned from the N4 launch that Play Store only sales is bad way to launch a product.
... And I got my N4 and N10 from the Play Store on launch day.

When you say a particular Canadian store, are you talking about Future Shop?

Several BestBuy managers have told people that they will have the Nexus 5 in stock.

Are you talking about those end cap displays? I thought they were only for N7, Chromcast
I may try this tomorrow if I'm bored before work. Ha I'll report back.
Good luck! It worked with the Nexus 7 a couple months ago.
I bought the n7 2 days early at BB too...I saw the box up above in those locked cages...so I pointed and asked for it...worth a try I guess.

UK CarPhone Warehouse has 3,000 in stock according to a leak , I wonder if it would work there as in best buy? Does it depend on how clueless the staff is?
I think there is a definite possibility it will be sold at Best Buy. Google seems to be taking a different direction with this phone. More hype, and evleaks posted that it is going to be available on Sprint..
a friend of mine who works at BB as a manager told me they are expecting to sell the phone, but that they have yet to receive any units and might not get them until after its already out. This is on LI NY btw

If they're going to sell the phone it should be in their inventory systems; it's an easy thing to check.

That and whether or not their system will allow them to sell it.

Very true, that's why I find it's hard to believe that they'll have the N5 at launch. Someone should've posted a picture of the inventory already. I know I would if I was still there. (Like for the Wii's and PS3's.)
I'm pretty confident they are. I visit my local BestBuy yesterday and asked a customer service rep. He said he knew what I was talking about and went to ask his manager if he could sell it. When he came back 2-3 minutes later, he told me suddenly he wasn't permitted to talk about it because it's not official, so he couldn't legally converse over it. I'm going to try back at another location and see if I can get someone to pop early there, I also got my Nexus 7 2013 48 hours before launch just because I asked. Some guy went in the back and got it for me. Worth a try I suppose.
Hmm. I have a friend that works at BB.

So would it be better to go to the store and hang around the phones? Or just call the store?
