Ordered a N5 32Gb black from the JP playstore yesterday @ 5.30pm. How long it will take for the google wallet status to change from 'pending'? Used a citi cc so have to call the bank to check if everything alright or just wait patiently for them to deduct? Gonna use vpost, fast bo? Oh and google play say leave warehouse on 15nov? Didn't say 'by' ... So really have to wait till 15nov then google ship out ah? Sian sia if liddat

I would consider, medium to heavy. A lot of LTE use (push email and surfing), some games. But no movies.

Hi Guys,

I used VPN to access the Google store and created a new Google account and added in my CC details and the jshoppers address. Now there is a message that says there is a technical error.

"Uh oh. There was a problem.

We couldn't start your purchase because of a technical issue.

Details of the problem below:

Sorry, we were unable to process this request. Any charge will be automatically cancelled within 24 hours. Please try again after 24 hours."

Is this normal guys? Or did I screw up somewhere? Now even if I deleted my CC in google wallet, the message pops up still.

Please advise. Thanks.

Try adding CC with japan address first by going to Google wallet then check out by selecting the added CC.

I managed to get a transaction but "Status: Pending." for now.

Thanks for the advise. That is what I did actually. I put in my CC details then used the japanese address and when I submit, the error message came up. I am using DBS CC, does that matter?

Thanks.

google will only charge your card when it's about to ship, so no use calling your CC unless it's already past their stipulated ship date 15/11

so until then all your status will be "Pending".

the next email will be "congrads your nexus is shipped!"

guess until then it's still a waiting game for you.

that is true. my phone already waiting at singpost. but google still showing pre order. so don worry about it until the shipping date.

Yooooz,

placed an order with the buying service from tenso, what the f*** its actually about $110 service charge, even though with the current exchange rate, it shouldbe $84. But at least, I have a peace of mind XD

For me I am happy with battery life. 12hr on battery, 1hr45min screen.

Moderate usgae 46℅ left .
A lot better than N4
