Nexus 4 ordering process

Walnutsink

All this talk of cancelling is scaring me! But I did successfully get a nexus 10 so I should be home and dry, right!?

marcbrophy

Did anyone who had their order cancelled, wallet account locked, who sent their details to google to unlock their wallet, try and order the phone a second time?

I'm half tempted to try it again to see if it works! :pac:

Why are Google blocking sales to Ireland. Is it to do with the full play store not being available here.

Did anyone who used a debit card who were cancelled and got charged anyway get refunded? Just checking before I decide to buy it.

I emailed them straight away when they cancelled as others hadn't got refunded. Had the refund in my account in a few hours, it was a pain having to do that though. There's 1 or 2 people who's orders are still pending, I'd suggest wait and see if they get lucky first.

Am I Evil?

so am I right in saying everyone that has ordered a nexus 4 from ireland on the uk store has had the order cancelled? bar the 1 or 2 mentioned above?

My order is still pending with 1-2 weeks delivery showing. Next step should be shipped (based on my recent N10 order). Looking at the UK thread on XDA it seems most orders for the 16 gig N4 are at that status.

I would think that a bit of an over generalization - but almost certainly most people who created a new Google account specifically to place an order has had theirs cancelled - to be fair this would look very like a SPAM account to Google.

I also get the impression that most of the people who simply updated their addresses appropriately, on an existing Google account and the associated Debit or C/Card accounts are still in the running - for now at least

My experience with two recent orders, one shipped and one pending is the exact opposite of the above.

Hmm, don't know then - maybe we should just avoid making any assumptions then

I placed two orders before with duplicate gmail accounts, they were cancelled within about two hours.

Then I ordered one two days ago with my real google account that ive made lots of previous purchases on, no cancellation yet. Just pending....

So nice of them to set up their Europe HQ in Dublin, and then not offer the phone to the people of Ireland.

I ordered on the 4th about 18.00, my order went to received by Google Commerce on the 6th
Still hasn't been cancelled, surely it would've been by now if it was going to be done?

Whats the news on the handset for release here anyway?
Has anything at all been said by the carriers?

I'm just waiting to see if people mange to get their N4s before placing an order but would definitely prefer to get it from a shop here instead

3 store in Dundrum said they aren't getting it. o2/Vodafone shops didn't seem to confident, Apparently Meteor aren't getting after the lack of sales in the Galaxy Nexus last year. Looking at the o2 forums they have said they have no plans to release it.

Apart from using Parcel Motel and tunnel bear the only way (apart from the few pepole reselling on the net) to get one is to go to Newry and pay the €200 markup in o2.

keith16

Why is this phone so hard to get here? Any chance the likes of o2 etc don't stock it because it comes without a big 24 month contract? Any chance that it will be more readily available here in the new year?

£389 in CPW in the north. That's a £10 saving on O2's £399.
Not much difference, but it's still something!
Plus CPW's one is SIM free, so should not be network locked.

There is nothing stopping them selling the phone on a contract. Supply is limited and the demand is crazy high so I imagine Google is focusing on it's biggest markets. This happens all the time.

Am I Evil?

Well thats a balls.

I suppose it would impact sales of the higher priced phones to which they make a higher profit off. Madness though..this could outsell the S3 if given the chance

Hurricane Carter

The Nexus series is more about peddling Android than trying outsell other hardware manufacturers.

grindle

They'd peddle Android better if they sold more of these phones to people who want it. I already know two people who wanted it for Xmas but plumped for iPhones because of the availability.

Then they couldn't have been too bothered with Android in the first place. There's a rake of Android devices out there.

The manufacturers just put there own UI on top of it eg. Samsung's Touchwiz whereas Nexus devices 'Pure' Android.

grindle

They wanted it for the price. They wouldn't be OS fanatics, they just wanted a super cheap high quality phone, saw the story and said "back to the contract iPhone".

I'm waiting for a relative in England to buy mine. Mmm. Cheap phone.

Hurricane Carter

Yeah if this doesn't work out and it gets cancelled like some of them on here, I'll be on to the family unit in Canada!!!

They could still get a good quality android for a similar price. The S3 mini is about the same price as the nexus and cheaper than the iPhone.

grindle

Too late for them, but the S3 mini is a bit more expensive than the Nexus 4 (comparing 8gb prices, a €30 difference?) and the specs aren't anywhere near it. The only plus is the SD storage option. That is a great plus though.

True but it's still better specced than an equivalently priced iPhone.

Hey lads, really wanted to get this phone for Christmas and have a contact in the UK. I can't check the UK Google store so can anyone tell me how much they are directly from the Google store and if they are in stock please? (if not in stock, any idea when they will be back in?)

Thanks.

£240 for 8GB
£280 for 16GB

£10 shipping

8GB out of stock and 16GB 5-6 week wait last time I checked.

Thanks Smacky! Ah might go for something else then. I'd get a Samsung Galaxy S II if I could actually find one, they seemed to have just disappeared.

I'd rather see mine stay at pending for a few more days than to see it cancelled.

Looking at this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1973898&page=649
it looks like not many shipping yet.
