Anyone know when the nexus 4 will be in stock? And do you think they will go out of stock again so quickly? Hopefully when they are this won't all happen again. Really want two 8 gigs on the first. Already got my sims ready .
My bet is that they make them available for order again early next week around Nov. 28th. I figure they're going to be shipping the delayed units that have already been ordered, before they start taking new orders. A bad launch is one thing, but not even having it available for black friday is pretty stupid. How could they expect to sell big numbers during the holiday season, while they might not even be able to sell the product on black friday.
I don't think selling the product is the problem...<snip>
From the looks of it the new google play will have a preorder system Latest Google Play APK suggests pre-orders in the works, app reviews may require Google+
selling it was not the problem the problem was the servers could not handle it, getting mad at them does not accomplish anything, well unless you go buy an Iphone then it will hurt them
I'm not sure about that, not too many people (percentage wise) buy unsubsidized phones.This is just my opinion. I think Google priced the phone way too cheaply. I understand they want to set quality and price baseline standards so that the manufacturers have to actually work hard to win our dollars. But they also need to draw the line at the point where manufacturers start getting stiffed because Google decide to essentially subsidize this device.
I personally think they should've priced it to start at $400 and invested in better battery life.
They were obviously not expecting it to sell out so quickly, but it really tells you that if they end up selling 10+ million of these over the upcoming year, that's a lot of lost sales.
I got fed up and bought an LG Optimus 4XMy guess would be that its going to carry on like this until everyone who wants one had either got bit or got fed up and bought something else.
