Just curious...did you guys have to call to complain before you got your shipping confirmation? Because other than my order confirmation, I haven't received any correspondence from Google.
My order time was 8:34:42am PST

StylinRed 11-16-2012 12:59 AM

on mobilesyrup, most ppl haven't gotten any correspondence other than their order confirmation; some have gotten the backorder email; and even less have gotten shipping confirmations; and of those who've gotten confirmations some of them have also received the backorder email too

My order time was 8:33:55 and its fucking BS how mine hasn't shipped yet while the guy a page back did.

Google's playing Russian Roulette on whose phone gets shipped. Lol.

Google stopped replying my messages...
They were really efficient yesterday with a few minutes wait time but now I'm just in total limbo with no response...

you think when LTE is more mature, google will "enable" this LTE feature?

Or someone will find a way to hack the drivers over from the Optimus G.

Nexus 4 teardown shows hepta-band LTE chip

Quote:

Still, it's a strange sight to see an LTE radio on the teardown. But, it likely won't come of anything without heavy modification, because a modder would have to replace the modem to get LTE running. So, don't get your hopes up.
So in the end, no way of "enabling" LTE without modding the phone. Which is a bitch to unsolder and resolder BGA chips. On a board that small, the heat applied to unsolder it will probably unsolder everything around it too. So good fucking game.

StylinRed 11-19-2012 02:13 PM

wow so they paid for the lte radio anyway but didn't activate it :fulloffuck:

Well it's the same design for the Optimus G. It probably came off the same assembly line so it was probably easier to just leave it in or something. Nontheless it's still missing the modem part so it would never function.

Just got my Nexus 4 today. Nice solid phone. Definitely feels nicer than the previous gen Nexus. Gonna give it a good run through the paces to see how the battery life is tomorrow once it's charged up. Don't really like the 4.2 GUI changes (the whole bold the first letter/number thing) but those are just cosmetic. I skimmed through a few articles saying 4.2 is buggy as hell so I'll have to read through those articles to see if has anything to do with the Nexus 4.

I'm just amazed you considered anything but a Nokia for more than 2 seconds! :ahwow:

StylinRed 11-19-2012 10:13 PM

lol :p well it wasn't for myself (although that hasnt stopped me in the past)

the next time i upgrade my own phone though it more than likely wont be a nokia; since Symbian/Maemo is gone and Nokias are no longer Made in Finland (they closed/sold the factory)

shenmecar 11-19-2012 10:24 PM

i just hope Google doesnt change their mind and jack up the prices on the 2nd batch.........rumors are that they will in the future though

Mine finally shipped.
I called them yesterday, and it ships out today...coincidence? maybe....

If you guys haven't received any correspondence, you guys should just give them a call. I'm pretty sure nothing would've happened with my order until I called.

Alatar 11-20-2012 05:49 PM

Mine's somewhere near Seattle at the moment.
