If that's your philosophy in life, then u must be a very sad person.

Rejection is part and parcel of life....go with the flow.

what i mean is it is damn inflexible. wan to buy also hard if u know what i mean. not that i dont wanna try, just that the chance is little

Maybe got this mentioned before in the thread, but I will say this anyway..

I got my Nexus 4, 8GB one yesterday.. sadly there is a little scratch on the silver lining thing near the left side bottom, its like the chrome/silver plating thing has worn off somehow.. but never mind leh, got the phone with so much difficulty, cannot complain!

More importantly, I got a screen protector and those soft plastic casings from Jurong point.. the screen protector, especially for this phone..surprising they got the stock already..but, the protector covers the proximity sensor, whoah got a big problem with the screen on/off during call, scared me so much.. then I read some forums mention about the screen protector thing, I had to cut the screen protector from the top part.. now perfect again! just wanted to mention this in case anyone else got this kind of problem.. I saw some people complain about this on xda..

I am coming from the Galaxy nexus.. the screen definitely seems brighter than the nexus using the Auto brightness setting.. I did however noticed that, looking from the little off angle, the screen looks yellow.. Haha I had an impression that IPS LCDs have a very good viewing angles. Again no complains, just an interesting observation..

Another interesting bit was that my phone originally had the pre-production version of the software.. I got a 30MB update as soon as I logged on to the internet.. So, they are selling phones to customer also with pre-production software..

from what I know, the yellow tinge is caused by the adhesive used to attach the screen. it will ware off soon. i also had pre production software but was updated.

You have to understand, they ain't even supposed to sell to us in the first place. If they want to be arseholes they could also check the addresses shipped to and block those as well.

There's a very high chance Google themselves are subsidizing the prices of such hardware. That's why they're only selling them in countries where they can sell books/music/videos. Apps revenue must be too small to make any subsidy worth their trouble.

At the end of the day, we are the ones trying to game the system, so whining about it is pretty much a case of one finger point forward, 3 fingers point at yourself.

At this point they basically just F-care, just keep extending the delivery date instead of keeping check of stocks.
