When I asked Google chat support if I would be able to pre-order at midnight she said it will be 11am-12pm PST on the 29th. On the Play store anyways.

I tried doing that and the guy had absolutely no idea. He said they don't give them that information.

That's exactly what I expected her to say, that she didn't have that information. It was at the end of a very long conversation. I was happy when she answered but still not 100% convinced. Needless to day I will be up until at least 2 or 3am waiting just in case!
Regardless of if its 12am or 12pm, its PST so make sure you take that into count.
12AM PST? That's in 2 hours!
I'm just going to go sleep. I just left my PC to auto refresh my browser every second and turn off the alarm when "add to cart" is detected. Worked last year for the n5 but I didn't end up buying it, stuck with the n4 for another year.

Just out of curiosity... why are so many people waiting to be first to pre-order? As far as I'm concerned, this doesn't seem like your typical Apple products that's expecting to be sold-out within a couple of hours... Am I wrong to assume that the pre-order should be up for at least a couple of days if not until the actual release date? Or did the Nexus 5 actually went out of stock during its pre-order period?
Thanks.

No it didn't. The Nexus 4 was up for about 2.5 hours before it sold out. The Nexus 5 sold out faster in about an hour and change. They go in and out with refreshing inventory levels, so you probably just got unlucky when you refreshed.

Didn't receive one here, but if I had, I would have no problem telling them what I really think about their locked bootloader policy, design flaws, etc.
100 bucks for an hour survey... I'd be all over that! ;p
unfortunatly, alot of people must of wanted to tell them what they thought of the Atrix, as I did the quick questions, and they stated that they already reached their quota for the survey..
out of $100, awwww man!!.. haha..
got that yesterday, tried to get in, but as soon as i said i didn't have the laptop dock they said "thanks we're full".

Samsung did the same when I bought my Galaxy S, they even called me up for some more details about my answers.
And got the $ 6 weeks later
Dear Moto,
this is how you should be running your cellphone bizness:
unlock the damn bootloader
let them have the kernel source
the devs are willing to fix the mess you created with the blur crap
if you need to save money somewhere then fire the whole team that does blur, AND the guy that decided to lock up the bootloader / kernel
go ahead and make like 1 phone that runs win phone 7 so microsoft doesnt come after you a55
I guarentee you this will work, and don't forget to give me a job after.
k thx bye

Basic question.. ie..
Who bought the Phone...
Who made the decision to buy the phone...
Is this your phone(shows picture of Atrix)...
did you buy the laptop dock(shows picture of the laptop dock)...
what day can we call you(give you a choice of 28th & 29th of March, I chose both)..
what time can we call you...
then I got shot down that the quota was full for the survey..

Yeah right, I'm sure they just want feedback from people who are actually getting the "full" experience this phone can offer via the laptop dock. But for the people who just wanted a really good phone they don't care to hear about it. Makes me wonder, is there anyone with the "tethering" package getting capped as well? I don't remember anyone specifically pointing that out....
I also got this email, but got it on March 18th. Signed up right away but havent heard anything bacck yet.
Ah, what an exciting day.
I ordered my Asus TF101-A1 on Friday, and just had UPS confirmation that it was delivered about 30 minutes ago. Too bad I'm stuck at work, but as soon as I get home I will be on it all night long. I simply cannot wait to see what kind of custom ROMs are going to come for this tablet, I'm so excited.
After playing with it for a few hours, I will post my initial thoughts and impressions for all you who are considering buying, assuming you can find one in stock somewhere!
Congrats
welcome to the club. Ive been neglecting my laptop for the past 3 weeks..lol
leave it on, remote in on the TF (why do i want to say tranny?..hahaha), just took it on a road trip and was able to tether off an old Treo Pro... Played games, took pics/video with it, and didnt notice any screen glare in the day light..
all is well thus far.

Yeah, I'm not too worried. I hate Apple and iOS, and I'm the guy that says iOS is for old or non technical people who like things simple. I love Android, as I have been using an Android phone since 1.6. I'm so ready for 3.1 on my TF! I can see it now...sitting on the couch, remoting into my PC and both my servers. Going to be awesome.
Congrats and enjoy!!!
Make sure that you update to 3.1 before anything else, it is well worth it!!

let me guess, slickdeals and amazon?
I just got mine, not too impressed with the stock rom, and the right speaker being louder than the left. hmm

Sears.com actually, haha. I found myself checking nowinstock hourly, until I found it show sears had it in stock, went and immediately ordered it. Shipped, it was like $417 after some $5 off rebate I got over Memorial Day weekend.
Heading home from work now to go play with it!

Well, so far so good. Played with it all night long, got it rooted and flashed to Primordial v3.1. Gotta say, I love it! I personally think the tablet feels great, and has amazing power. Can't wait to try the 1.6Ghz Kernel and see how that runs.
If I had to list cons for the TF101, I can only think of two. The stock keyboard can be a little laggy, but who uses the stock keyboard anyway? I'm still trying out different keyboards to see which I like best, so I'm not concerned about it. Also, the charging adapter. I wish the adapter actually clicked into the bottom of the tablet, instead of just sliding in. Think apps proprietary connector, unfortunately. But I guess it's good that it doesn't click in so if jerk on it or something, it will just slide out instead of tearing something up. Would be nice if the charger cord was a little longer, but eh...no biggie.
Overall, I love it.
Does anyone know what time this phone actually releases i.e. will it be at 12:01 AM on 11/13/12 or later in the day?
I know this sounds silly but I am usually up at midnight anyway so it might be worth it to ensure I get one if they are going to sell out.
I would also like to know.
yup i am wondering the samething o_0
Only Google knows
Release
Only way to find out is check every second as the time count down until the release date.
I thought about calling the Nexus number but I kind of doubt they would know or give the time out.

I think it would be 13th November - 12:01 am. It always happens like that. I hope they have enough before they get out of stock.
EDIT - I actually have bookmarked the page. Every Once in awhile I go to check if they updated something.
Most likely 12:01.

I think that if every one that wanted one signed up for email notification then they will have enough phones but just to be helpful and safe I had friends that do not want the phone sign up so more would be available.

Email notification has nothing to do with how many they allocated for the initial release. They allocated the initial batch way before the signup page went up.
I am sure Google will have 50 allotted for us early adopters.

This is really the silliest N4 related discussion I've seen so far!
I think we are going to break a record in the amount of TRASH threads today.
Haha. I hope they do sell out. If I don't like it I will be able to sling it on ebay for a profit!
I create 100 email addresses to get notification for.. just in case
Personally, I don't think they'll have enough, to be honest, a lot of manufacturers usually struggle during the first batch. I don't think I've really seen a launch where they don't sell out. Hell, even when ASUS launched the Eee Pad Transformer Prime, I was the 6th person in line in Canada to get it through NCIX and they still managed to delay almost a month after the tablets started shipping worldwide before I got mine after I preordered it.

:laugh: Wow! I really thought this thread was one of the most obnoxious ones I've read. But that 1st link you posted was ridiculous.
So I just got off the phone with tmobile today regarding my bill. I had 2 note 7 and returned one during the first recall and tmobile did something that ended up having my account in the negatives saying my bill was -320. Anyway today I called up because I I couldn't pay last month's bill because my account was showing negative and then this month's bill finally posted showing 2 months bill combined.
Long story short, I called saying I wasn't happy with this and they credited 150 off my bill right away. Not sure if this would work for anyone else who had the same situation but worth a try. Something off is better than nothing.

To make matters worse I hurt my lower back severely. But like everything in life, whether its the whole fiasco of the Note 7 or something much more serious, life has a way of bouncing back.
