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

They've had stuff up for pre-order before announced retail dates for most of the devices so far.

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

Just shipped mine off! I was hoping to be able to mostly cover the N4 with what I got back from it. Turns out that I actually made money in the trade.
Very excited!! :laugh:
I may sell my sgs3 for this. But I want to hold it first, I'm still on the fence.

What are you using as a replacement phone until the Nexus 4 arrives? All I have available is an old Blackberry..

My trusty Atrix 4G.
It served as my go-between phone when I went from Note to S3, too. Got a clean CM10 on it, runs like a charm.
Sorry that you're stuck with a Berry, haha. :angel:

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.

I wouldn't be surprised if the wireless dock is not available for quite a while.
Here's to hoping they do same day delivery this time around which may explain no pre order date...

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.

I pre-ordered a White Note 4 from Samsung directly and just got an email saying the shipment will be delayed from the 10th to around the 17th to "ensure your product is received in perfect condition and quality checked". Maybe to get rid of the glass gap people have been finding in Korea? The email also says that I'm getting a free Gear Fit however as a "complimentary gift for your pre-order" which is pretty awesome and unexpected as I didn't know that was on offer :laugh:

I honestly had no idea it came with one, it didn't mention it on the pre-order page or anywhere else..... Pretty excited now though, I quite like the Fit when I first saw it.

Hello everyone,
So I have accidentally spent too much time drooling and reading reviews to pull the trigger to order. But I've decided I need one, and need it immediately (lol, as I'm sure all of you understand).
Question: What's the quickest way to get one? Has anyone ordered super recently and received an immediate shipping/arrival ETA? Or would it be best to go to the store and nab one?
Thanks for your assistance in getting one of these sexy beasts in my paws with a quickness! :highfive:
Try to preorder and get one day service to see if that way you can get it tomorrow or weds
Or just wait until Friday
I ordered the white one last Friday and will receive mine Tuesday with one day air shipping. I'm calling t-mobile today to get credited for my shipping since most people got next day air free. It's best you order a white one if you want it quick Also my first pre-order which was on the first morning of pre-orders was cancelled due to a banking error but the rep promised me I would still get my device early. k.
I pre ordered on 9/30. My shipping label was just created on 10/11/14 and still seems to be sitting in a T-Mobile warehouse someplace because it has yet to be picked up by UPS. This is the first time I've pre ordered a phone from T-Mobile and it will be the last. I always show up at a T-Mobile store on launch day and walk out with a phone by 9:30 AM. As a T-Mobile customer for over 10 years you would think my shipping would be upgraded to 1 day air like a lot of others have. But according to my still up shipped tracking label, it's going UPS Ground.
Rather messed up that T-Mobile wouldn''t honor a first come, first served model. I could in all likely hood pre-order right now and have a device delivered before someone who ordered the day it started.
Same boat as you. Estimated delivery date is Friday.

Did you get tracking yet? I ordered white one Friday as well and they told me it would come in Monday if I did overnight. However, today they said it still hasn't been shipped yet and are not sure when it will now. Shipping was obviously refunded.

There was a loose ear piece grill on mine and Tmo had to order me a new black one today. They charged my card for a new phone with EIP just like the first one and they are shipping it to me overnight for Wed delivery. It's technically a new purchase and the 1st one will be a return.

I pre ordered mine and had it two days later. So I'd say having pre ordered but they will be showing up in stores and with that sweet $200 dollar rebate deal going on it maybe better to get one at bestbuy.

How they get it free? how much was one day air? Cause I preordered mine in stores on 10/10 and come to think about it they never ask what shipping rate I wanted... like when I ask questions about the phone like a week earlier over the phone but anyways if I can get back the shipping that be cool.. but I think they just gave me the standard shipping $6.99... but if I could gotten free shipping...

Hey guys, we finally have our own thread! Let's first discuss timings from order date to delivery. It will help others understand realistic shipment times. Also interested in which model everyone ordered. I'll go first.
Ordered: Yesterday around noon, 3/30
Delivered: Tomorrow, 4/1
Model: Black 64GB
Ordered: 32gb Black
Delivered: Backordered.
What shipping did you pay for? Also, oddly enough I called because I was like-- If I can get it sooner for the 64gb, I'll take it. But they said 64GB was also back ordered HOWEVER they should arrive on the 8th-ish.

When did you order, set up UPS MyChoice and it will show you all incoming packages that are coming to the address you specify. Don't believe what T-mobile tells you just yet, their communications are backed up it seems. I did regular ground shipping. T-mobile might not give you a tracking # or even update that it's been shipped yet so the best thing to do is set up UPS MyChoice which is a free feature.
Argh damn At&t Y U NO ship early!!!! I had to get the white one since apparently the gold platinum was big time on back order every version. So I can't go around with my new gold platinum S6 singing this:

Hi all! Welcome to the T-Mo S6 forum. As an FYI I moved a T-Mobile preorder thread from the International section to here. So please continue the preorder, shipping and receipt discussion in that thread.
Thanks guys!!!!!
Ordered yesterday at about 10:00 AM Central.
T-mobile told me it was on back-order.
Delivered today at 4:00 PM!!
This this is schaweeet! Ordered the black 32GB.

Same email. Totally pissed off. What was the sense of ordering before anyone else. I hate Verizon.
I am pretty upset about it. I pre-ordered the minute it was available and they have no phones available? So how many did they preorder? Ten? Bad business.
Got the same email... hopefully it will ship by that date. I'm not that upset about it since I got a white one but my wife is since I will give her the white once the gold arrives
If you have not seen the gold one in person I would recommend going to best buy and checking it out. I had a Gold 64gb ordered until I looked at Best Buy. The gold version is the best looking one of all of them but it showed fingerprints like crazy. I switched my order to the white version and could not be happier.
I gave up myself and went with the sapphire, the gold was pretty slick but I'm tired of waiting games (and also terribly impatient and compulsive). The rep did tell me they had a huge, unexpected demand for the gold 64s and 128s and that was why they were so far behind .. but if people who ordered it the minute is was available and are still getting delayed than maybe it's some other issues.
I got the white one yesterday but BB had the gold one for Att and sprint and it really is a beautiful looking phone. I might be playing the return game in 12 days.
There is already a thread for talking about Gold S6 orders. Keep it there. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=60440019
