I ordered on 9 november but still pending. :(

May I know your "configuration" for billing and shipping?

Initially, I have 2 orders using tenso but it was at pending status so I cancelled and reorder using tenso and it still shows pending, waited for almost 2hrs.

Like they proclaim, an email will send to your account... I did not received any emails from google play so I cancel again and use vpost. Around 10mins later I received an order receipt...

I'm using what the rest are doing, @ Shipping address: vpost
billing address: vpost

Okay, just thought that I make a short and quick review of the phone.
IMO, I feel that the build quality is solid, however it does not have that 'comfortable feel' when I compare it with the Nexus 4, like how it fits in your hands. As I bought the white version, I can say the back feels nice, but definitely not a rubber grip, and overall quite a solid phone.
Moving on to the camera, in low light condition the camera tends to have lower shutter speed and slow focus rates, even when compared to the Nexus 4. Until an update has been released, pictures would ONLY look awesome under perfect lighting conditions. Otherwise it is just another camera.
The display on this phone is brilliant, if you compare it to the Nexus 4. When you look closely, it looks just as sharp as an Retina display on the iPhone. Colours are more on to the pale side though.
My phone has the 'loose power button' syndrome, where the power button slightly rattles upon touching. However as my issue is not that serious, I don't think I would be getting a RMA anytime soon :)

On the overall, if you're looking to upgrade from a Nexus 4, I'd say it is a pretty good upgrade, but I am really looking forward to the camera issue being resolved :)

I would be updating this as I spend more time with the phone, as these are just my initial impressions of it compared to the Nexus 4

Edit: Just got back home. Battery life was excellent, much better than the Nexus 4! The phone does not get really warm with short usage like the Nexus 4, and you definitely would get at least 3 to 3.5 (maybe 4?) hours of on screen time if used for messaging, emailing and social apps. Have yet tested on gaming though, but battery life would be a noticeable difference if you were upgrading from a nexus 4.

peace
