    tried changing my wallet address to a uk and using tunnelbear. No luck. Not available in your country.

    Why the hell are they making this so difficult? Why aren't they selling in the republic?

    is your browser showing the uk play store? btw are you using Chrome?

    close and reopen your browser. same thing happened to me in firefox.

    Not sure if I'll get the nexus 4 or not though after reading about its throttling issue which cuts the cpu/gpu speed in half when the battery reaches a certain temperature. Definitely a great price though.

    I created a brand new account under tunnelbear. Ordered the device. Then the order got cancelled by Google 5mins later.

    The onscreen buttons put me off the nexus 4 as it makes the actual resolution 1184x720 which is a bit strange. Won't that make some things such as games appear stretched/squashed depending on which way the phone is turned?

    On screen buttons disappear when they're not needed.

    Uh oh. What did the email say? The price drop will probably reach other places like amazon soon anyway.

    Would someone please like to explain the current way on how to get the nexus 4 through google play?

    I just don't understand how tunnel bear works..

    Something along the lines of "your google play info looks dodgy. Send 1) Government ID and 2) Image of bill etc with the Google Wallet address.

    **** em. I'll just get an iphone.

    Best of luck to everyone who's ordering via Google. As said before, some will win, some will lose. You can keep trying but it all wastes so much time and energy that you'll be well annoyed after a while.

    Anyone with predictions on when we'll get Movies, TV, Magazines, and Devices? Wednesday? :P

    They've done this coz to them it looks dodgy, new account buys phone account not used anymore. There's been posts on this the last time all this was needed.

    I ordered last night, it still says my payment is processing, is this a good or bad sign?

    Ordered Tuesday Wednesday morning at 7.30am.

    Holy sh... Not bad. Jaysus, they're shipping them out a lot quicker now, could it be that sales have declined causing the price change, and in spite of that, they haven't increased by a major amount? Either way, we should wait and see how other people's orders go before jumping to any conclusions.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,128 ✭✭✭ooter


    Still glad I got the phone but gutted now I didn't wait a few more weeks..:(

    The updated model should be announced soonish so they are probably trying to clear stock of the older models.

    I'm trying to get access to the UK devices page, using TunnelBear. I've changed my account address, my Google wallet address, and am hoping to get it delivered using Parcel Motel. Every time I log in though, it gives my the DEVICES UNAVAILABLE IN YOUR COUNTRY screen.

    Do I need to create an entirely seperate account?

    Also, when using Google Wallet, what address would I use as Google checks the billing address?

    I really want this phone. :(

    I was on the same boat as you, what worked for me is I changed the browser ( I was using chrome, but downloaded new version of firefox) Switched to uk server on tunnelbear, opened firefox, went to google.co.uk, set up a new gmail & wallet, then went onto google store and the price was in pounds, my address seems to be working now just going to wait a few hours til I get mulas in my card to buy it :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,391 ✭✭✭jozi


    I'm haing the same problem "not avail in your country" Will it work if my wallet has an Irish debit card assigned to it? I might just sign up to a new account next week while in the uk.
