Just thought I'd create a thread for those of us that ordered the Almond color. Ordered mine the day it dropped on the site and it appears it'll ship around the 24th. I really thought this one was worth waiting for. You guys who ordered it like I did please chime in here.
I received it last Sunday. It looks class. Gonna rock a clear case with it which is arriving today.

Where are you located?? I'm in the USA and when I ordered it said ships in 14 days. Later I chatted with support and they told me limited edition models ship from select locations which takes longer. After seeing a few YouTube reviewers I like unbox it I thought that's the one.

Yes, I did. Will be here next Wednesday.
I'll add that I am anxious to get my grubby paws on it. All these years have been black phones starting with the OG Droid A855. But the A855 had gold accents that made it look elegant. I got used to the old 24k theme on it and have themed my phone with FFCC66 ever since. When the HTC One M8 came out, I went for the gold one, but soon after Motorola came out with the Nexus 6 and I had to have some Motorola again.
I first started a trade-in with my 6T then found out that the Almond was a limited edition. So I figured the next day I would change it from a voucher to a cash back trade in. Talking to CS was a chore for me, the girl clearly did not really understand a word I was saying, she only knew how to catch on to like one word and then quote from her script. The script was the part of the FAQ that said they don't change the trade ins from voucher to cash back. I went on to tell them to just cancel the trade in and save them some money. She just kept saying Yes, yes, yes. Arg! Asking for someone else with better linguistic skills, I was told there are no others. Hehe.

And I guess this thread is pointless clutter since there's already a waiting room thread made weeks ago...... But that's how xda is no one uses the threads already created so we just end up with clutter... Just because it's a different color doesn't mean it needs it's own thread.... There's already a waiting room....
Hmm, I just did a search for the waiting room thread, can't find it anywhere in my searches. Since the Almond was not released at the same time and is a limited edition, I think a separate thread is well warranted. So I suppose the only thing that could be clutter is someone who is not waiting for this color of phone.
But what do I know? I've only been around these sites for 10+ years.

Oh I am as well. Finally got shipping info and I'll have mine Tuesday or hopefully sooner. Can't wait to see that beauty. I feel your pain man, it seems as if every darn company goes across the globe for service center workers which is seriously annoying. While I am sympathetic to OP in lieu of some fast growth they should have thought more about the reps talking to the world and having some good English knowledge. Thanks for sharing your smartphone walk here. In my case I started with the LG G3 (BLACK), went to Note 5 (black), S8 (black), note 8b(black), so (blue for 30 days then sold it). Op5t (black), op6 (black then red), 6t (mirror black), stint with a Mi8 (blue sold after 2 months - wanted to try Xiaomi), gotbq P2XL (black)b my current 2 dailys are P2XL AND OP6T. Looking forward to a limited edition 7 Pro myself ??

I'm going to have mine Monday according to the tracking info I have now. I will post some pics as soon as I have it up and running the way I want. Or sooner, lol.
Suffer me this. My smartphone 'walk' actually started with the Motorola A4500, code named Napoleon, also known as the Q9n. It was a Windows Mobile 6.1 phone that we had to hack to unlock the GPS chip for third party apps. It was probably this first phone to really run google maps on Verizon. It was never released, maybe about 200 or so were 'leaked' out to the public. It was cool because it said "Engineering Release Only" on one side and "Not for the Public" on the other.
My Android walk was the A855, then the Galaxy Nexus, toyed with the Motorola razrM just because I got one that the bootloader could be unlocked on, then the HTC One M8 because it could be unlocked as well and the Gnex was getting old. Samsung doesn't make phones to last IMHO. Then Motorola with the Nexus 6. Motorola makes phones. I didn't see anything with what I wanted in a phone that would outdo the Nexus 6 until the Oneplus 6T, four years later. And here I am now. The 6T has been a finicky beast when it comes to flashing ROM's and such. For me, especially restoring Nandroids. So when I got soft bricked recently, I saw the 7 Pro and then in Almond and figured, I'll get that one, rock it, root it, rom it, and then just enjoy it for a few years. Screw all the updates. I learned on the A855 that although being able to run the latest on it is not always the greatest as the hardware was pretty much designed for the software available at the time. It might go one or two steps, but then your performance is going to fall off. That's why my Nexus lasted four years. It's still on Lolipop 5.1.1 and running well as it is again my daily driver while I wait to get this one.
Well, its here. I'm on my nexus 6 right now so I hope I can figure out how to post the one picture. The almond back is sort of pearlish and I really like the gold outer band. I've got it charged and now to go full speed ahead, damn the torpedoes and unlock the bootloader etc.

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.

In a similar fashion to the Surface RT, I believe.
I like this watch a lot. But I like a lot of first gen, poorly received consumer electronics.
What fashion was that? They didn't sell out of surface RTs, did they? .
I hope you are wrong. I really would love to see this take off.

Yes, Microsoft "sells out" of the Surfaces. Microsoft did the same things with Zunes.

exactly! This is unacceptable. T-Mobile should honor all of the purchases. I wouldn't mind waiting a month if I came to me at the 209.99 promo price. I placed my order tonight using some new promo for 30pct off, Card has been charged and order confirmed. I hope I get mine!
Unless Samsung only manufactured a limited amount of these things and carriers will not be replenishing their stocks. On the launch day of the Note 3, the store I went to only had two. I was not looking to get one anyway because I have heard mixed reviews but if they pursue a second generation version of the watch maybe this time they will get it right.

same here! ordered mine yesterday night! I hope it gets shipped!
I live in Las Vegas so you can pretty much find a T-Mobile store within 10 minutes of wherever you're at in the city.
I just called my 15 nearest stores asking if they had any in stock, all immediately answered no. One of them actually told me they had some literally 5 minutes before I called and that they were already gone. Almost a week after release, what is this Apple?! Haha, I definitely thought I'd just able to go into my nearest T-Mobile and pick one up. On the other hand good for Samsung, seems like it really is selling.
Anyone else having issues finding one in stock? Or rather was anyone actually able to get one in store?
I'm having that problem here in Napa, CA.
I called my 5 nearest stores with no availability, they did say maybe today. But I haven't had time to call and check.
I'm also shock that they are not carrying a bunch of these.
I think hands down its the best Smart phone released this yr.
I think Samsung finally put together all the goodies to make this phone awesome.
I mean the Note 3 is nice, but this is that much better IMO
won't be available for a while, just order online

That's what I attempted to do first, however it shows that it's backordered when you go to checkout.
I actually found one awesome helpful employee who said he will call me whenever they get more in and hold one for me, but I'm going out of town tomorrow night so hopefully it's before then!
same thing here in houston tx. i called every store and it was sold out everywhere, but one employee told me i could order at the store and that overnight shipping is free, so thats what i did hopefully it is there tomorrow....
Phone shipped!
Phone is shipping from KY, and it should be here on the 24th! very excited! My case already came with a screen protector so I'll already have this bad boy protected.
I called around Chicago and 5 stores had none in stock. This was on Saturday, the day after release. I decided to try the suburbs with no luck. The last store I called had a few left so I rushed over there.
i got mine on launch day, in Huntsville AL, 3 hours after the store opened, and they had already sold out on the first shipment. Fortunately I got there minutes after a new shipment came in and got to get the first one out of that one.

Worst launch ever IMO!! First place had none in stock on the 17th, launch day! Second place had about six and had sold out by the time I got there. Third had some but had to wait quite some time before my turn at the counter! Most tempered glass protectors don't fit properly and quite a few bumper cases are not ready for shipping! Mine supposedly is but I haven't received it yet. It was due at the latest estimate today, 8:00p.m. It's not that time yet, but I've never know UPS to deliver that late.

If you ordered a tempered glass protector, chances are it will not fit! Only Spigen and Tech Armor brands got any positive feedback so far. The curved glass is the main culprit although some others even got the spacing of earpiece grill, camera and home button cutouts totally wrong!

If you ordered a tempered glass protector, chances are it will not fit! Only Spigen and Tech Armor brands got any positive feedback so far. The curved glass is the main culprit although some others even got the spacing of earpiece grill, camera and home button cutouts totally wrong!

I walked into a store on launch and got one. Another guy came in about 5 minutes after me and got one. Your best bet now would probably be to order one. I'm in Austin. I happened to be in San Antonio that day though.

Same here!
When I bought my note 4, I got to the store 4 minutes after it opened and I barely made it in time to get the last one available. I don't know why the stores only get like 5 or 6 phones when they release.

Because Samsung rushed the release and can't produce enough.

Yeah one of the stores I talked to said they only get 2-3 per shipment, and only of one color. For example they got 3 black ones today and said they'd probably just got 3 white ones tomorrow.
hey everyone, it looks like AT&T is shipping the galaxy s6 4 days ahead of their official shipping date. I got mine shipped today and estimated delivery is on Tuesday! Hopefully most other AT&T devices shipped today as well. Also, this is my first Samsung phone since the galaxy s2. I want to know somethings I need to look out for in this new phone, regarding software, the locked boot loader on AT&T models etc.
Thanks,
When did you pre-order? I had to redo my order on 4/1 because there was an issue with my original order made on the 27th.
Yeah, me too! Scheduled to arrive on Tuesday.
Same..got the notification of shipment. Can't wait

I'll be fine if I don't get mine early, but still would like it earlier since this teacher is on spring break all this next week.
Wonder when we'll hear something about Best Buy pre-orders.
What about the 128GB models, are they also shipping?
We are AT&T users even on XDA if they can't root devices?

Because we monitor progress on the device in hopes that a means of rooting will be found. That way we know what is going on in the community and are aware of existing issues so we can hit the ground running rather than posting a million noob questions (thus minimizing the number of 'google that, noob' posts clogging well developed threads).

Good luck. I'd hate to be with AT&T for that reason.

You can't order those yet, can you? I'd love to get that one, but it still said coming soon when I ordered on 4/1

How much space is available once it has been setup?
I left it at home with smart switch running, and this is the final result.
PS I already miss adblock...
The ZTE Axon is now officially released and available to order direct from ZTE, Amazon, EBay or NewEgg. Has any one gotten their hands on one and if so, what is it like? I pre-ordered one direct from ZTE on July 14 and have yet to receive it. Order has been "processing" for five days. If ordered, please list vendor, order date and status. I had requested a forum for this device and thankfully, the request was granted.

ZTE Axon Order
Ordered Zte Axon and case on Monday 7/27 direct from ZTE USA. The case shipped yesterday. Over the phone with ZTE I was told the phones should ship this week.
My phone order status is now "partially shipped". Not sure how you partially ship a phone. Hope it doesn't show up in pieces.
I have the device in hand and setting it up currently. Ordered silver, received blue. Build quality is decent but not on par with my other devices, Z3 and M9. Snappy, nice screen. Real test will come later when I test audio through headphones. This is my reason for adding this device to my collection.
Edit: Audio is rich and well rounded. Very happy with audio through headphones.
Edit2: A ZTE crystal case just arrived, shipped overnight, with a letter stating an apology for the delay in initial shipments. Nice touch and case is quite nice.
Bootloader
Perhaps this is a bit early but - does it look like it is possible to unlock the bootloader?

No clue yet, let me have a look after work.
Edit: No familiarity with ZTE, this is my first device from this manufacturer. I would assume the bootloader could be unlocked but can't say for sure.
You need to wait a long time, this is China's marketing strategy.
Just finally spent a few hours listening to music on this device. Audio reproduction through headphones obliterates Z3 and M9.
I ordered mine last night through zte the gold one hopefully it gets here this week. I was going to try and wait on the moto x pure edition coming out this fall but the specs on this seemed on par with the moto and around the same price so no waiting just wish it had th expanded storage.
Battery life is impressive as well. Easily lasts the day with moderate usage.

I agree, no SD slot is a detriment but if you're selective about what is on the phone, 32GB storage is sufficient. Really 24GB accounting for system files. the Lux model at 128GB would be nice but I believe that is for China only.
Just got mine on Friday and I'm very much enjoying mine so far. The phone does get warm when playing games, but I'm not getting any slow down or lag in the games themselves. The phone feels really nice in the hand and I can get some good photos after playing with the settings. All in all, I'm liking it more than the locked down note edge I'm coming from. Also, I'll agree with augie7107 on the audio. With the JBL earphones, the audio on this thing is spectacular. Now to see if we get any custom roms or root. There is the OEM unlock option in the dev options. Sorry, have been lurking for awhile, but I felt like I needed to chime in on this phone.
One question for those who already have theirs. Does the 4g lte work on At&t slower, faster, or about normal?

well I have 32gb Galaxy S6 so I'm used to the storage issues thank goodness for cloud storage and I started to leave some of my music off the phone so that takes up less space.

Faster than what I got on both M9 and Z3 in same signal area.

Ordered mine today from Amazon. I'll have it tomorrow. Did anyone who *didn't* pre-order get the JBL earbuds? My understanding is they come free with a pre-order, but are a $50 accessory otherwise. I'd love to be wrong about this.

Well on the zte website it says free jbl earphones with purchase of phone

You have confirmation that it actually shipped? I ordered last Monday direct from ZTE and it still hasn't shipped yet.

Happy to hear that they allow the bootloader to be unlocked. That means at least getting root should be easy.
As a comparison, I ordered mine on July 14, about two hours into the pre-order period and just received it July 30. Well worth the wait though

Well I did the overnight shipping so maybe they'll refund that money since they have not shipped it out yet and does not say when they will ship it. Trying really hard not to cancel this order and wait for the MOTo X pure edition but I have the feeling they are just pre-ordering in september and shipping in late october.
