Hey guys, I posted a week or so ago when I first got to play with a demo epic my experience with it (and sorry to any who had questions on there, I just haven't been on the forums in a while to reply).
Our store is getting 19 of them, but less than 5 are currently claimed for the August 31st release date. Our store is located in the Cleveland area. I will not be able to ship these out, and as far as I know they will need to be purchased with either a new Sprint account or upgrade eligible account (as in I can't sell them without contract).
PM me if your in the area and interested on getting one of them. Just provide a contact number and I'll give you a ring from work in the next 2 days (Sunday/Monday).
Hi guys!
First point - I found really weird that less than 1 week before the release date we cannot pre-order it from the Google Play Store (like Microsoft did it with the Surface). And...
Second point - ...there is a lack of information of what will happen the 13th. When google will start to ship the units? Do we have to worry that will be sold out in the first hours? Is it possible to select 1day shipping from the Play Store in Europe (Germany or UK)?
Thanks
I'm wondering the same thing. I'm guessing in a couple of days we will start to see people from Walmart post pictures if they receive them in stock.

Why don't you ask Google if it is so important to you? It will probably ship around the 13th and be with you 2 days later. You won't die if it's 3 days... You'll still have it on time to complain about the device on this forum one week later .
The point is that i will be in Germany till Saturday morning (the 17th). So this will be the only opportunity for me to get one in advance..
Anyone know when google will add the 10 to the store on the 13th?

If you put your email in to be notified when the tablet becomes available, I am sure Google will send out an email to you within an hour of it being available, probably only minutes

Google have consistently sent my notifications several days after the product (both hardware and software services) is actually available
Nexus 7 play store shipments took a few weeks to arrive here in the UK. I'd like to know when they're in shops so I can just pick one up in person.

It seems Google are planning to ship on the 13th for delivery on the 14th.

Got mine today. The transaction process took 1hr, but the rest was easy.
Im from UK. They started selling around 8:05am, i ordered at 8:35 (after they had gone out of stock and back to stock a few times)
i bought mine at 9:25 i have some issues with checkout but after a few time i finally get it.... im from germany
No one. I'd be very surprised if anyone did!
Personally I tried about 100 times before I eventually got through - just as I was about to lose all hope.

I tried 101 times and finally, even though the last payment screen froze and I gave up, I later received an email confirmation.
The Play store page says that the device will ship on the 15th, so if that's realistic we should be receiving it on Monday.
some could get it and a lot of didnt..check the poll:

How to order Nexus 4 ?
Hello everyone. I want to buy this new android smartphone (Nexus 4), but Google Play isn't available in my country. How can i buy it at the astonishing price of 350 EUR (16 gb version) ? I'll pay the shipping..that's not a problem. Where I live (in Romania), the phone will probably appear in stores in December at the price of ~~599 EUR. A little help from you guys.
Thank you!:good:

Had my browser set to auto refresh every 5 seconds since 11pm last night, and ordering went live for me at 8:33am PST. I completed my order by 8:34, thankfully no hiccups at all in the process. Had to have been one of the very first orders, and thankfully managed to beat the rush of errors!
Error....error...error
My normal account had errors repeatedly so I basically made a new account. With the new account, it took like 2 minutes without any error....
Edit: Like 1 minutes after I finished the purchase, Nexus 4 16GB sold out.
With the N5 coming soon, it's finally time to ditch my trusty old GNex. The G2 has most of the things I'm looking for in a phone (large, high quality screen, great battery life, excellent camera), but the $600 off-contract price and bloatware makes it a no go for me. The N5 looks really good on paper, but unfortunately it nerfs most of the things I like about the G2. I was hoping to wait for reviews and comparisons to come out first, but "waiting after release" for a Nexus product has it's own problems, in terms of actually being able to get one.
So I wanted to ask you guys for your experience with the N4. How long was it between being available at the Play Store and being sold out? Was it available for preorder and did it sell out even then? How long after selling out did it become available again? And when did you buy your N4 and how easy/hard it was to get?
If I recall correctly, the first batch was sold out within 15-20 mins.
And then a second batch was available after few weeks after.
And I think after 6~8 weeks most of the people who miss their chance with the 1st and 2nd batches got theirs.
I think after 2 or 3 months, they start having steady stock? Someone can correct this.
Google claims they did not anticipate that many buyers for the devices.
There wasn't a preorder on the release date,
but I'm sure they will have enough stock or preorder this time around.

i think your right but even after the 2 month there was still a 4-5 week waiting list
Well, I remember that I was mad at google on launch day because they started sales 30 minutes before it was supposed to go on sale, so by the time I was able to take out my phone in class to buy one, they were sold out. Then I had to wait until November 27th to buy one, that was when the second batch came out, and it arrived on Dec. 6th.

I'll add to this that on the first day, November 13th they did indeed sell out in the first 15 minutes which was 15 minutes before the official start time. I logged on at the correct time, noon pacific, and was still able to place an order but it was placed on backorder a day later, the system kept taking orders even though they were sold out throughout that first day. My backorder was filled on the 27th and arrived around the 6th some peoples backorders arrived weeks later and the system would periodically take new orders but they too would go into backorder. It took months to get it all sorted out.
I waited until January and I finally got too antsy and paid $415 for it on eBay. That's how impatient I am at times. Granted back then the markup I paid was only $115 (actually less since I didn't have to pay sales tax) since it was still price at $299 then. Was worth it to me.
Got it after tax refund in February

Well technically speaking, Google never specified a time that it would go on sale. They only specified a date, and nothing else. The fact that it would launch at different places within their respective time zones was also unknown to us (however somewhat known to the US people as it launched in places like Australia and the UK first).
Everyone only had conjectures about the times, and lots of people like me checked at every time possible, including 9 PM the night before, 10 PM the night before, 11 PM the night before, midnight the night before, 9 Am the next morning, etc. I think people expected it to come at 9 AM like Google's usual launches, yet it ended up actually launching at 8:27 AM PST or something near that. People who checked at 9 AM, such as yourselves I'm assuming, were already too late unfortunately. I for some reason was just paranoid about it and had been refreshing the page every five minutes since nearly 8 AM. Still, even at 8:30, the site was having major problems and I was only able to get my order through at 9:00ish, a few minutes before it sold out. Sort of the reason was because my Google Wallet stuff wasn't ready yet, so yes, when you do order, have that address + credit card ready beforehand as the default.
I was in the first 15 minutes to order. I used a chrome app to refresh the page for me and alert when there was a change. I was awake all night until it was purchased (granted I work nights so it was no big deal for me). However, I didn't get it for like 4 weeks. I had to call Google a few times and they kept giving different answers and stated that some were some how lost, but if they manually looked it up they could find your order. So, I was way behind when I should have got it.

I ordered first day. Woke up 10 minutes after it went online and it was sold out. But, around 2pm I bought one after class. Unfortunately, I got that dreadful backorder email later that night took about two weeks to get mine from the second batch

Bought mine the first day. I was online ready to order it the night before and then everyone found out they wouldn't be selling it till the next morning at 9 am PST.

I got mine at the second batch. Sold out in 3 minutes though...
So, good luck to all of us.
I got mine in about January. I couldn't get my hands on one in Europe until then.
Definitely worth the wait though :laugh:.
So while our fellow neighbors downstairs are spamming their "Out Of Stock" ordering page, we can't even get to the page itself
I'm still not seeing the device being available on the Canadian Play Store. I have emailed google (.ca) and asked them about when it will be available to pre-order, and this is the response i got:
Thank you for contacting Google. It’s great to hear you are interested in the Nexus 6. We are excited to offer this popular new product on our store! I’m happy to help!
The Nexus 6 should be available on Google Play sometime today! I don't have any additional information at this time. I recommend to keep checking Google Play for updates! As soon as there is more information Google Play will be the first to be updated.

I've heard reports from MobileSyrup saying a completely different story though... but I think they were referring more to the actual release date rather than the pre-ordering date.
Ah well, it's almost 11am PDT , which is the rumored time to pre-order (as it was for the Nexus 5).
*EDIT 10/06/2014
The Canadian URL has finally appear! "Coming soon"

According to MobileSyrup, the Nexus 6 should be available for pre-order by November 18th...another week to kill
Thanks for the info Mr. Shaded.

Embargo has been lifted! Full device reviews are now available online!
PhoneArena / The Verge / Android Central / Engadget

*EDIT 11/18/2014
Finally official pre-order date on the Canadian Google Play Store! Get your devices folks!
*EDIT 12/16/2014
Google starts shipping 32GB variants...still no word on 64GB Blue, is now officially late.
Hope thats true. I've been waiting for this thing for months now. I've had about all I can take with my N4. (1.5 Hours SOT on a good day...)
Just spam this page, I guess:

Although its pretty much confirmed that pre-order is in November for Canada:

Soooooooo....... When? Any idea? Hint? Date and time?
First week on November is this week sooooo....

I think they meant the first week entirely in November (2nd-8th), seeing as it's not likely to release on a weekend. Google Canada's nexus page still just says coming soon. As much as I'm hoping for a Monday release, things aren't looking good.
If its going to be the coming week I would bet on Wednesday. Not a big deal though considering the lucky ones that were able to preorder in the states won't see the devices ship to later November. I doubt Canadians won't see the device until December. Might even see a carrier (I believe telus is the only one to confirm) release it before they land in .ca. Either way I'm still pumped for the device.
I haven't been using my credit card just because I'm waiting for this phone to come out!!

I've been trying to get ahold of Google, but so far I haven't gotten any reliable answers...starting to think even themselves don't know when they will release it for Canada
My next big bet would be this coming wednesday, because it seems like the following one (11/12/2014) is the shipping date for the US-based pre-orders from last week.
Telus and Rogers are both going to offer the Nexus 6, but neither has any idea on when.
Yea, I'm guessing Wednesday too... Base on the previous launch...
Can't remember for sure about the time... Was it around 2 EST?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Free mobile app
Really hoping Google can provide some details on this.
I was expecting Nexus 6 would have similar launches as Nexus 4 and 5. In anticipation, I sold my Nexus 5 and went back to the laggy Galaxy S 1.
Not sure how long I need to stay on it..

Based on the n5 it would be 2pm est
Lot's of US users reporting that Google has updated the page saying Stock comes every Wednesday, so seems like they will have stock tomorrow. Let's hope that some of that is allocated to Canada. That lines up with the Early November release. If not I think it will be the 12th
Based on this, I doubt we'll be seeing the Nexus 6 in Canada any time soon.

Yes but this is from Motorola... Not from Google.
And there answer is more oriented toward regular customer who want to buy thing directly from a store...
I guess we'll see pretty soon!

Indeed... I'm starting to think we won't see it anytime soon
If the US is struggling that much to get the demand up and running, I don't think they'll see Canada as a priority in their list.
Might as well keep checking every wednesday, starting to lose the point of checking daily lol.
At this rate, it looks like Rogers and Telus might have it before Google Play Store!
I understand your struggle!
Right now I'm relying on mobile syrup who's known for having good information and they believe that it will be release this week so..... Like I said b4.... Will see soon enough!
