Anyone else joined the waiting game?

This is the third time a buy a Note from Clove, they require the payment a month in advance which is very weird they are very good in handeling customers but the note 3 was delivered a couple of days later last year vs other suppliers.

Presume this is so you are locked in, and don't get a chance to see what deals are about on release day, But at least you wont have all the problems of getting the phone on release day.
[/QUOTE] .....weird....
It's not weird at all, they are simply using YOUR money to buy the phone from their supplier which means they can do the entire transaction without any of their money involved. Cashflow is a real killer for phone sellers because they may have to find the money to buy over 2000 Note4's in just a few days which is a million pounds

Samsung Experience Store in Stratford are taking pre-orders from today, with stock not due until the 12th of October.
And their price is £629....with a £30 deposit required for pre-orders. Looks like Clove is a much better price.
Is the Instruction manual anywhere to be found yet?
Upgrades Pre-orders from the 26th
Samsung Electronics today announced that the Galaxy Note 4 will be available to pre-order from Samsung Experience Stores across the country, including the Samsung Store at Westfield Stratford City, from Friday 19th September, followed by other selected online and high street retailers including Three and CPW from Friday 26th September, before it goes on general sale on Friday 10th October.
Well, looks like I'll have to wait a little longer for my O2 upgrade.

I rang them at 11.45 am and they said £629 & £50 deposit. I am going to clove.
It's possible that I misheard them, or they've changed their minds about the deposit amount, I called before 11am.
Either way, their price is not competitive at all and no pre-order 'freebies' either. Last year for the Note 3 launch they were a bit more competitive if you traded in a cheap phone for the £50 discount offer on launch day.
Looks like the 19th pre order for us in the UK is a bit of a farce, if we can only order from a small number of Samsung Experience Stores, or a company who wants your money well before the release date. ( prefer not to deal with that kind of company )
Is there no online preorder from samsung ? seem like in the US you are able to preorder from Amazon.

I know . My info from http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=258736&view=findpost&p=840054 it could be that their initial shipment doesn't cover all pre-orders, so ordering now would result in shipping in 4 days. Dunno!
Gordon
And I haven't heard a single apology. Wasn't it Crunchgear.com that first said the 3rd? I'm never going to that website again!
Another one that may do US shipping and have 700 in stock (according to website)http://www.devicewire.co.uk/HTC-TYTN-II
The same Expansys link now shows an estimate of 1 day.
Just browse mobilefun uk and their tytn II cost £409 while expansys uk had it at £489. An £80 diffenerece is a lot. Does anybody here has an idea what's the difference between the two device? I'm really puzzled...
apology
sorry, just browse again and mobilefun price went up to £469 but i swear it was £409 yesterday
When there's no stock, it's always cheap. I'm picking my one up from Inkino tomorrow. They have a tracking number from distributor... It is in town!!!!!
Hmm. Expansys seems to have moved from 4 days to delivery to available to order. Don't know whether that means that there has been a delay.
If anything shakes loose via AT&T here in the USA I will post... I have some good connections at a corporate store here in Indy and they are watching for me.

Well they have popped up on ebay already... Just saw 3 of them, http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?from=R40&_trksid=m37&satitle=htc+kaiser&category0=
the seller has no feedback, account is new, and he's listed them as bids. Already at some 700 USD with 6 days to go... Damn these people are stupid! Anyone remember the Moto RAZR? yea... 1600 USD on ebay! Some poor dumbasses paid that much... and I see this going just as high, if not higher.
This kaiser anticipation is quite entertaining.
yet its killing me!

Well guys, I called my local AT&T store yesterday and asked about the 8925. Sales rep told me (after a brief hold time) that it would be released Sept. 11. That's a pretty sensitive day in the US, but the release of this phone would definitely make a dark day brighter!
Of course, she qualified her response with the fact that these dates are subject to change. I was thinking to myself....ohhhhh really?!!
Updated Dec 6 1:30AM EST
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

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

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.

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.

Okay, so lots of people are going on about the Nexus 4 and pre-ordering for it. Yeah, you can pre-order, but only from carriers or third-party sales companies at the moment, and that's generally either on contract or for a marked-up price, which none of us want to do/pay, even if we do get the phone two or three days earlier than everyone else.
However I have a theory. I live in the UK and Carphone Warehouse, a shop that sells phones either SIM-free or through several UK carriers, is doing pre-orders for the Nexus 4. Though they are only doing contract pre-orders, they do say that their expected delivery date is November 13th, the day the phone is going up for sale on the Google Play Store.
I imagine Google want to be the first people to sell the phone and get it out there before everyone else, however at this rate people will be able to order the phone from Carphone Warhouse and receive it before us Google Play-ers even order the phone, and there's no way Google will be able to process so many orders and get them all out on the road on the first day, let's be realistic here.
So my theory is this; based on everything here and my own logic, pre-orders should open next week after all the reviews come out on Friday. I reckon maybe Tuesday, a week before the release of the phone. Does that sound fair and realistic? On the other hand, my logic could be incredibly flawed!
tl;dr - a shop in Britain are doing pre-orders for the device saying the expected delivery date is November 13th. For some reason I don't think Google will let them get to it first, so surely there's likely to be a pre-order, right? (We can hope!)
I sure hope so!
I don't really care about pre-orders that much, I'm more concerned about how long it will take to ship, and to arrive...hopefully we can order "expedited 1 day shipping"

I want to pre-order and get the one-day shipping. That way it can be dispatched on the Tuesday and arrive on the Wednesday.
While it might be a bit late for them to be doing the preorders, I think that sounds pretty reasonable. I really hope they can get their act together with this device this time though. We don't need another N7 crisis.
I just hope hope hope that they've learned from the Nexus 7 delays, there'll be a lot of demand for this phone, hopefully they'll be able to keep up.
One day delivery for the Wednesday would be sweet

Well, all I know is that I preordered the Nexus 7 right when it was up for preorder... and go it later than some people who were able to buy it from Staples or some other store that "accidentally" sold it early. Many of us who preordered it got it later than those who bought it from third-party stores. Given Google's history, I wouldn't be surprised if the play store ships out the devices later than other places.

Hey Guys!
So the Nexus 4 has been released upon the masses with the first batch of the 16GB being sold out in 22 minutes and the 8GB being sold out a few hours later.
This thread will be a general area for Australian owners and potential owners to hang out, ask questions, get advice and get help quickly and within your time zone.
If anyone helps you or offers you advice don't forget to hit the ":good: Thanks" button in the bottom left corner of their post!
Please let me know if there's any important Australian specific information and I will put it here in the OP!
I'm buying one as soon as we are able to on the 13th. I purchased a nexus 7 on release day from the Google play store and received it 3 days after the funds were taken out of my bank account.
Generally they're pretty good with postage. I wouldn't trade my nexus 7 for anything!

Same here, really hope that it is going to be released 12am on the 13th which means we will may - if they start shipping that day - have our orders start to be processed before the US even has the option to order hehe..
That is provided they do something similar to the Nexus 7 launch but in a more organised manner. Which I believe is the case.
(ie. Send large amounts of stock to each country that is selling it, wait for them all to get to respective countries, open orders, all send on the same day worldwide.)
I'm getting 16gb model a few days after launch (pay day)
Do they come from an Australian retailer or do our orders get shipped from the US?
My SGS2 has been good to me. My girlfriend will love it! I just can't pass up paying $399 outright for a phone that on paper, is probably the best on the market? You couldn't pay less than $400 for any other phone on our market could you?

Someone in one of the other threads said that this will lauch with a bumper case for the nexus 4
I'm totally buying on the 13th, it just annoys me that I have to pay $40 more than in Canada, considering I've only been here for 2 months... WHY COULDN'T THEY RELEASE IT WITH THE NEXUS 7?!
I'm looking at upgrading from my Galaxy S1 to the Nexus 4 when it comes out. I really don't mind the lack of LTE since I'm on TPG (who don't give access to LTE anyway). I'm pretty sure they do give access to Optus HSPA+ though, which should give me a speed bump from my S1 anyhow.
The only thing I am unsure about is using the Nexus 4 as my main music player, which is one of the main things I use my S1 for, apart from the usual phone and mapping stuff. Registering (through an American proxy) for Google Music and uploading all my music seems like the easiest method of doing this, but I am worried whether all the music streaming I would do would chew through my 1.5GB data allowance per month. Can anyone speak to their experience with music streaming with their monthly data allowance? Any better methods than Google Music in Australia? I've tried Spotify and found they didn't really have all the music I would like to listen to, and their app was still Gingerbread styled... ew.
Another (minor) problem is travelling overseas and having music. Data is too costly if travelling, so I suppose I would be stuck using my S1 while travelling, which I would probably keep as a backup phone anyhow.
I'm going to get this in store rather than on the Play Store since I can't convince my parents to shop online so I'm hoping that JB Hi-Fi will sell this by the end of the month (Does anyone know if it will be in stores next week at all?). Otherwise, can anyone name any stores in Melbourne or Sydney that has a possibility of selling this?

Nope it doensn't include shipping and tax, 2 days shipping is going to cost roughly 20$

I'm going to get this in store rather than on the Play Store since I can't convince my parents to shop online so I'm hoping that JB Hi-Fi will sell this by the end of the month (Does anyone know if it will be in stores next week at all?). Otherwise, can anyone name any stores in Melbourne or Sydney that has a possibility of selling this?

I'm getting 16gb model a few days after launch (pay day)
Do they come from an Australian retailer or do our orders get shipped from the US?
My SGS2 has been good to me. My girlfriend will love it! I just can't pass up paying $399 outright for a phone that on paper, is probably the best on the market? You couldn't pay less than $400 for any other phone on our market could you?

Not sure but when I pre-ordered the Nexus 7 it said
Purchased from:
Google Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd.
8 Marina View, Asia Square 1 #30-01
Singapore

so I assume it will be sent from the same place meaning 2 to 5 days delivery on average
I just noticed that the expected processing date is May 3rd. Does anyone have prior experience with Costco pre-ordering? Any chance for an early shipment?
When is Best Buy expected to ship?
At this point your best bet is going to be in store on Saturday.

If I can get the same or better deal I just might do that.

All these best buy,Costco will always delay...obviously the carries are the first to get stock and ship.

Lets hope some retail stores actually get the S4 on Saturday. Since this announcement my confidence of walking into a store on sat and buying a S4 has been taken down a peg.
Full disclosure: I "pre-ordered" at a sprint store in Chicago.
Costco Shipping Update
I just updated my shipping address and credit card info with Costco. I switched to American Express to get extra year's warranty in addition to the $99 one is my understanding. But more importantly while on the phone the very nice young lady I asked if she had any updated shipping information.
She asked me for which phone and I told her the Black S4. She said the earliest processing would be May 3rd and that shipping would be on May 6th. Now I can set my expectations appropriately.
Black S4 Is Not Available
I just looking on the website and it looks like the Black S4 is no longer available for order.
White Frost is now sold out also.
I ordered last Thursday night but still no change in order status.
I was told mine would be processed April 30th and arrive may 2nd
Q's go in Q&A
So if you do not want it moved there then do not select "yes this is a question"
Thanks

This sounds like good news. I tried sending an email and got nothing.

I hope this is the case. I sent an email yesterday seeing if I could get some kind of verification for when the orders will be processed. I got nothing. I have considered cancelling and seeing if I can get telesales to give me a better price. I'm sure I would no issue getting sprint to waive the $36 activation fee regardless of where I ordered. I've never had any trouble in the past.
But today is the 30th and haven't heard anything from costco....fingers crossed.
no luck
yeah mine just says submitted. wish they would at least say something about a expected ship date
Yeah. Same here "submitted". No change in status at all.
I'm starting to think that it's not going to get here by Friday the 3rd now.
I called them yesterday after not receiving any replies to various emails and the girl that answered me seemed very disinterested in answering any of my questions. I got the cookie cutter answer of "it's being processed the 3rd or before" which is basically a screw you nothing's getting done until the 3rd and not shipping until the 6th at the minimum. I'm kinda regretting buying through Costco and it's probably the last time I order from them as well.

I'm with you. I work in the service industry and if we treated our customers like with the same sort of disinterest, we'd get our asses handed to us.
Here is their response to an inquiry I made to costco asking about availability and my response back. I don't think it's too much to ask of them to keep us in the loop on when the s4 will be available for shipping:

Is it possible to let me know if "the device has launched" to costco? "On or before 5/3" states that it is possible that the device could possibly "lauch" to costco and be available to ship prior to 5/3. I am out of town later next week and am hoping that the device will be delivered prior to Tuesday as I paid for the upgrading shipping option.
I'm just trying to get a better idea on the availability of the device thru costco in order to figure out if I need to provide and arrange special delivery instructions to the courier. When I placed the order on 4/20 and the order stating processing "on or before 5/3" indicated that I should receive the device late this week or very early next week but I was hoping for some verification.
Thanks for your time!
I guess we are the only few that got suckered by Costco... the silent uninformed wait is dreadful.
I am very surprised by all of this. Costco typically prides itself on strong customer service. I realize that this is being handled by a third party (contracted out by Costco), but Costco still is involved with this as it has their brand name on it.
I feel pretty lame too. I thought I was one of the "lucky" ones to get an order in before they sold out and now I realize that maybe I wasn't so lucky after all.
I don't mind waiting a week at all...
The accessories were free. (While not the best and the screen protector looks like you have to trim it yourself)
And they didn't charge pre-discount tax.
So instead of paying $320 after tax, we paid $228. Saving $100 for 1 week of waiting? Yes. I will do that.

i couldn't get free activation from customer service, so tack on another $36 I'll be saving.
Came out to $209 instead of $316
I probably won't use the accessories either, except that 3-in-1 charger if it's >1.5 Amps. so that's a $10 bonus.
