Shipping varies for everyone, some had their devices shipped while other are stuck in Limbo. There is no indication of any sort of pattern here.

For those who are waiting to order Nexus 4, Hitler shares the same feeling.. lol

Thanks, I was going crazy.

Do we get charged the full tax? I think it's only the GST, no?

Few people have called Play Store Support and they have said 12:00 noon. Its a rumour at this point not official, nothing is.

Thanks for making the thread, I was looking too.

The Play Store thinks I'm in the USA because of work, which is going to complicate this! I'll have to make a Wifi hotspot and order that way.

Even though in the end I will probably get it from the play store, but does anybody know if other stores will be selling it that I could walk into to pick it up?

additional info

just want to share this, reading from other threads, each google id can buy only max to 5 phones. but i'd expect google will cap to 1 phone per id since they sold out in uk and aussie. just my thought though, nothing concrete yet.

ps-anyone from the west coast? one more hour to go!

Thanks for making this thread, I'm waiting impatiently and nervously for noon lol
Glad to hear it is shipping from within Canada
