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.
They've been saying since last week.
If you didn't get a backorder email then the order would ship out on Monday or Tuesday or as google like to call it "tomorrow".
You went through the whole purchase process, and now you got a full refund? Posted via RS Mobile
Thats what I think it was for... logged into my online banking account and notice I have extra money.. I know I didnt transfer any money onto it.. The only other big purchase I did recently was for the N4... Online bank statement hasnt been process.. so cant see what it was.. gotta wait a few more days.

What does your Google Wallet say? Posted via RS Mobile
^ he would probably get a free 1 if 700 ppl buys his app for 50c. im sure there are more than 700 ppl who missed out on the first batch. Posted via RS Mobile
I don't understand why they can't just let you buy the damn thing, and say "ships in 4-5 weeks* (*possibly more)"
I just want to buy the damn thing so I don't have to keep refreshing every time I'm at the damn computer.
Probably because there's laws somewhere stating "once you have taken a customer's money you must provide a product within a reasonable time, or else they are entitled to a refund and/or damaged based on their expectations."
Plus, Google doesn't need more bad PR. "Google holds thousands of customers' orders hostage!" is a headline I can just imagine.
Either way his "LTE" was 9Mbps.. even slower than regular HSPA+ which is ~10-11Mbps

Apparently the LTE hardware is functional and left in the nexus 4 but just not enabled by software. It's also apparently missing some sort of 'amplifier' chip for the LTE so the reception will suck vs other 'real' LTE phones (ie. iphone5, htc one X, sgs3, etc.). But regardless, it works and a lot of people have posted clips on YouTube now.
The Nexus 4 is the perfect smartphone, right? For a lot of people, the answer is yes. But folks who have had the pleasure of using an LTE network say they’ll never, ever, go back to 3G. If the video embedded below is accurate, then someone in Canada has figured out how to make the LTE in the Nexus 4 actually work.
Now we know what you’re thinking, does the Nexus 4 actually have LTE, but Google doesn’t advertise it? Apparently yes. All you have to do to enable LTE it to open up the dialer, type in *#*#4636#*#*, and then select LTE. Boom, you’re done.
There are some caveats of course, the LTE only works on the 1700 MHz and 2100 MHz bands, which in America is known as the AWS band. No one really uses that band, so … while it’s nice that this discovery was made, it’s not exactly useful for AT&T and Verizon customers.
So why did Google lie about the specifications of the Nexus 4? They probably didn’t want to offend people. Imagine the PR blunder that would have resulted if Google went ahead and said Canadians can enjoy LTE, but Americans and Europeans couldn’t. There would have been geeks with pitchforks storming the Mountain View campus.
Do you even need LTE? This is a controversial question, because 3G in some cities is downright terrible, while in others it’s frankly amazing. The Nexus 4 is capable of connecting to 42 megabit HSPA+ networks, and speed tests have shown that it can deliver 25 megabits per second down in the real world. Again, not everyone will get those sort of speeds, but do you really need a 50 megabit pipe to your smartphone to be happy? We don’t think so. The only real benefit we see to LTE is the noticeable reduction in lag. Ping times are minuscule, so things “feel” faster.

Reason: Edited to add article and Sauce.
But doens't 4G in Roger's term is HSPA+
Because Rogers use the 4G term quite loosely and they actually have an icon for LTE
S3 for example 4G isn't LTE and when it logs in to LTE network it's labelled as LTE
That's just the labeling that the phone's ROM uses.
A lot of phones show HSPA+ as 4G, some phones show LTE as 4G, and some phones show LTE as LTE.
The speeds they are getting look like LTE speeds. There's no way you get 10+ Mb/s uploads on HSPA+.
