Mine is still"pending" on Google wallet. Ordered Saturday night.
At least it was not cancelled within an hour like previous two orders.

I ordered mine at lunchtime on Thursday and added the parcel motel details to my CC on Friday. When I called to update the address the bank advised that there was some Google activity on my card, but my order is still pending and I have had no further notifications from Google.

Hopefully I will get an update of some sort before the end of the day.

Snake?
This is 2013- not 1993.

Their Twitter account says different, reports on boards and from friends all day they deliver weekends too.

Any package that arrived on a Friday to PM, I always got it on the following Monday. So they may deliver to some on weekends but maybe they don't like coming west on weekends or something:o

Got a good laugh out of that Maybe it's a Belfast thing too?

Anyway, my parcel is checked in online this morning anyway. Should have it tonight.

Ordered mine last night, being shipped to an uncle in London who is then forwarding it on to me, cannot wait. Selling my iPhone 4S now to envirofine for €192 so only have to add a few euros for my new Nexus phone. Looking forward to receiving it and getting off the Apple ecosystem.

how does this phone compare to a samsung galaxy s4 guys?

Pm1e

not sure tbh, Im coming from iPhone, from what I have heard in relation to the S4 is that it is a device that has concentrated its efforts on gimmicks rather than genuine functionality and software abilities.

Tons of Snake, some try to emulate, others go their own way.. Most, if not all, are free.

The Snake I'm most familar with, the 'zipper' snake, is in: 'Classic snake 2' by ByQ Develop.

I'd love a Nexus 4. I just can't be bothered with that convoluted ordering process, oh well.

Get it together Google. [frown smiley]

Order has been pending since Saturday night, which I'm assuming is a good thing. Order placed at 9:38pm. Dispatch 10th September.
Didn't use Tunnelbear, got access to the Nexus 4 page straight away.
Used an Ulster Bank Visa Debit with the Parcel Motel address.

Now waiting with fingers crossed.

Also, I can't remember if I clicked "Link phone to account". Nothing a reset won't fix.

How did you get access directly to the store?

I spent much of my time on Friday changing most of my Google Account stuff to UK, so maybe that was it. I'm not entirely sure. Google Play recognized my account as a UK one. Just checked it there, and it's back to euros.
A fluke, perhaps?


I also tried making a test purchase with the PM card details after ordering the phone, which was pending for a while, and then suddenly completed the next day. Still hasn't shown up on my bank account though.

Mine has been delivered in Belfast. Any suggestions for a nice case available in Dublin - don't want to scratch it while waiting for it to be delivered!

Mine as arrive in PM too. Roll on tomorrow.

Since they're not *technically* available in Ireland, you might struggle to find a dedicated case for it.. maybe a cheap leather sleeve / wallet for a similar size phone might do the job. I've ordered a Ringke Fusion - meant to be one of the more popular cases.. the big plus for me is that it doesn't hide the back.

I ended up ordering a nice leather one on Amazon.de for €6.99

http://www.amazon.de/dp/B00B2J89SS/ref=pe_386171_38075861_TE_item

I've used Amazon.de a bit lately - shipping is OK if directly from Amazon (not 'seller'). Chrome translates nicely and with certain merchandise I trust the Germans' review more (metal-ware like knives and saucepans) and it can be cheaper than amazon.co.uk

Definitely going to pick up one of them also (if the phone ships). What's shipping like?

Ok, after having my first order cancelled I've placed another order (this time for a 16gb) using the method described in this post: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=86281186&postcount=199

We'll see what happens, still not confident...

actually I got 2 cases (2 phones) - will probably keep one for the girlfriend - though she likes her Nokia and its battery life...
anyway, so shipping for both was €4.38

http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00ARCQ9K6/ref=ox_ya_os_product EUR 8.45
http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00B2J89SS/ref=ox_ya_os_product EUR 6,99

Subtotal: EUR 15,44
Packing & Shipping: EUR 4.38

Turns out my phone was shipped from Holland, not the UK.

Just got an email from google play that the phone is being delivered from London.

Ordered at 3am on Saturday so 3 day turnaround from order to Play shipping it.


It hasn't registered in my PM account yet.


Ordered from a UK server.
Paid with Irish credit card I've used for making purchases in Play for a couple of years.
Delivery address Parcel Motel.

In the Play pro former I wrote my Name PMID and Parcel Motel all in the Name text box.

I ordered at 9pm on Saturday and my order is still "pending" on play store, payment is "processing" on Google wallet. This waiting is killing me.

Judging from my order at 3am Sat to shipping 10.35pm today your phone should be shipped tomorrow around 4 or 5 pm.

Ordered mine Thursday evening (16gb), got a shipping notification during the night. It in Belfast right now. Couldn't have done it without the help of people in this thread!

I used Tunnel bear, Parcel Motel, new UK gmail account, parcel motel billing and delivery address and only checked my gmail account with tunnel bear switched on. Can't wait to get it!

It appears that the price reduction was more of a clearance sale

There was never any doubt in my mind that it was a clearance sale tbh..

.. they're on the verge of announcing the Nexus 5, and you don't cut the price of an item as drastically as that without something like that in mind.
