Actually, I saw that it was sold out, around 45 min ago, but then it changed back to coming soon when I refreshed the page. I was gonna impulse-buy one! My N95 is getting ratty.

There’s been so much interest for the Nexus lineup that we’ve sold out of some of our initial stock in a few countries! We are working hard to add more Nexus devices to Google Play in the coming weeks to keep up with the high demand. You can learn more about Nexus devices and stay updated at play.google.com/nexus.

Hey now, I fully intend to keep and use the phone.

Not my fault that I bought it at 8:32am. I just happened to check the computer at work, saw that it was available and bought it. I was really mulling it over all night too.

Same here bought Nexus 4 to use
Wanted Note 2 but it's too expensive at 700 and with Samsung releasing a 1080p 5" screen Q1 in 2013 I just can't justify the price point.

The big selling point of this phone was the price, and people think they can sell it for profit? lol

I managed to get an 8GB version off the US site. Launch was a bit of a clusterf*ck in my opinion. It was supposed to be 12am this morning, then I heard 9am, and it ended up being 8:30am. If I had known, I would have left for work 5 minutes later. My US order went through at 10:43am.

8GB is fine for me. I only intend to use it as a phone when I travel (mainly in the US so I'm looking more for T-Mo support on AWS anyway) so I don't need huge capacity. Just for comparisons sake (for those who bought it through Canadian site), total breakdown was:
$299 for the phone (8GB)
$13.99 shipping (2 day shipping was what they advertised)
$26.60 WA sales tax (8.9%)

Not that much cheaper than buying it locally. Save on the tax and maybe get it sooner is the only benefit.

Yeah I just saw that. Taking it with a grain of salt but we'll see come Friday.

How about the non Google version? He might prefer having extra LG features anyway

The LG version sells for much more than the Google equivalent. LG is probably also the worst when it comes to UI mods for Android.
