Nexus is BACK?!

Maybe the JB 4.2.2 OTA will get pushed out soon!
Anybody who ordered from this re-stock, please post screenshots of your android version from phone info (recent shipments to Brazil supposedly had the upgrade to JB 4.2.2) when you recieve. Also, in bootloader mode you can check to see which hardware rev. is being shipped this time (possibly rev 12).

Just placed my order, didn't want to risk it selling out again. I'll be coming from an iPhone 4S so this will be interesting. I've had a Nexus 7 for awhile now, so I won't be flying completely blind once I get it. Hopefully the shipping is as fast as some people have experienced.


Any initial things I'll need to do once I get it? Specifically in regards to my SIM and my AT&T account? I'm on the old unlimited iPhone plan, so I'm guessing I'll have to change it, right?

Hopefully you won't have to but I have no experience with AT&T so I can't advice one way or another.

Alot of us would advice you to order a case from Amazon since your new phone has as much glass as your old one though.

Yeah I'll be looking at cases here soon. But I prefer naked phones. My iPhone 4S has been naked from the start with the exception of a few months while I was deployed (for obvious reasons). I took it off when I got back because it interfered with the cell signal.

I'll look into it though, thanks for the tip. How has the Nexus glass held up so far?

The front is Gorilla Glass and it shows, the back is NOT Gorilla Glass and it shows...

Nice! I finally received some tracking info for my order. Originally, tracking shows my delivery date was scheduled for Monday, however now it's showing a "early delivery" date of tomorrow. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it arrives tomorrow, and before the AT&T store closes.
