Completed means confirmed will receive already?

i figure this could be google marketing scam, google must have less
than 50 000pieces of phone per configuration per release country.

How could each country open order for 10mins and close the order ?
Assume:
1 minute to complete 1 order, 1 person order 5 pcs,
thus 50pcs for 10mins for 1 http connection assume
10 000 simultaneous http connections
and 50 000pcs close order ...

what kind of logistic is this for world wide launch 50 000pcs per country ? Crap

I noticed a lot of buyers are using Hotspot Shield as a workaround.

But how do you guys know that this VPN service can be trusted?
I mean your credit card information is going through the servers after all.

sometimes you just gotta take the risk loh. and anyway, if you monitor your CCs all the time, no issues. coz if got unauthorised transaction, you'll know immediately.

Anyway, I also didn't manage to get even though I clicked it the moment it came up. haha. too bad.

finally had the red words 'sold out' hehehe

page refresher dinged... but within 5 seconds gone.

 

[lawry83]

8gb cancelled? Ordered wrongly?

ordered 8gb, subsequently managed to get a 16gb so cancel the 8gb.

 

[sakuragi8]

ordered 8gb, subsequently managed to get a 16gb so cancel the 8gb.

I see.. thought buy extra still can sell to those did not manage to grab one during that launch. . Haha.

Ouch....that hurts. We're gonna miss useful custom roms for N4 until this is solved.

i think can always dump or download the factory images and decrypt those drivers...

In fact, if you go to Nexus factory images page...it's up for download now. Just unzip and find the Radio.img and you can get the baseband radio img.

Not open sourcing the drivers in AOSP (for now) is only a small roadblock...

i'm still peeved by the fact that google has an office here but the play store we can't get any hardware from the play store without resorting to VPNs or buyforme and the like.

those who used SG issued visa/mastercard, please update when your purchased is confirmed!!!

thanks for doing the math. that was exactly what i was thinking. unfortunately, i have to agree with you it load of crap. i am not surprise less 100k reserved for US. they are caution as the 'reviews' by big online tech blog wasn't as fantastic.

that's the risk everyone who wants the phone here has to take.

don't blame google....it's alot more things involved than you realized...like licensing among others..

plus, this may be hard to understand for some but.........singapore is a small a$$ dot in the world...who gives a sh1t??

i am singaporean but most singaporeans seems to forgot that singapore, despite it's economic prowess, is STILL a small dot......

us kao pei kao bu here.....is barely a blip in the entire android user base....objective, ppl...
