    Quick question, I thought my Meteor contract was up this month but it's not up until February now :( was going to switch over to 3's pay as you go, question is regarding getting a micro sim off Meteor easy enough as just walking into their store and picking one up or do I have to jump through a bunch of hoops?

    Should hopefully have my Nexus 4 on Wednesday :)
    you just get the micro sim like any sim and then just top it up no jumping through hoops

    Phone arrived there a couple minutes back, delighted that it's finally here after using a HTC Wildfire S since my Sensation was stolen going to make sure this thing is well guarded.

    Just gotta pop into town and grab a sim card for it, cheers to everybody here for the heads up & info, ended up costing €373 with P&P and insurance getting delivered from Vegas my cousin really went out of her way to get it for me.

    I got the 16gb model and when I go into status it's showing up as just under 13gb free.

    I read a comment elsewhere from someone who said that Google are deliberately keeping stock levels lowish so as not to blow other manufacturers out of the water completely. (as they may get annoyed and stop using the google android system).

    If this phone is as good value as it seems, and it were as readily available as the S3 for example, this would possible damage Samsung to the point that they may decide to do away with android. And so on for other manufacturers.

    If your coming into this cold knowing nothing about the situation I'd say leave well enough alone. Unless your willing to pay over the odds forget about it until February.

    Going by the question you asked you clearly now nothing about the availability which is why I might have sounded patronizing. The only place you can buy this "officially" online is from the google play store. Obviously you can get it on ebay but I wouldn't call that official. O2 are selling it in their shops in the UK sim free for £400 I think. I only found an article saying it was up for pre-order on the US Expansys site but I couldn't find it at all on the ie and uk sites? I would seriously doubt expansys will be getting stock before Google have sorted out the backlog. Even Handtec still have it on their site despite saying that they have not been told if they are getting any stock

    So like I said you can pay over the odds on Ebay or just wait until January/February when it is available again

    I have no idea what the realistic wait times are at this stage. Mine was ordered on Dec 7th with a 6-7 week estimate. It's set to Pre-Order at the moment, so I'm not expecting any movement until end of Jan.

    If anything happens sooner, it'll be a bonus.

    I'm in the same position. Hoping for mid-late January delivery.

    4-5 weaker here...google just put a hold on the funds from my account. It would be awesome to have it soon. I'm away in England for Christmas and have tested it in the shops. Its a real nice piece of hardware with the screen so close to the glass compared to my ****ty HTC Desire.

    Well, that would depend on how much you want to/can spend and also if you can't wait 6 wks for a phone...

    ... but if you're asking if the phone is worth 475e, factoring in everything, I'd say no personally.

    can i ask how long did it take for google to get back to people regarding re-activating the accounts after sending the id and credit card details?

    i've sent them around the 13th of december and not a word back

    also did you guys send a card statement with your irish address ( not the parcel motel address)?

    i wonder if that's the problem

    I gave it 6 days and then followed up with an email, they replied almost straight away saying my account was re-activated! I also sent a scan of a statement which only had my irish address but they didn’t seem to care?

    Are they back on sale in the play store now?

    Mine was suspended after attempting to order back at the start of December. Only got it back two days ago after sending the verification docs (I sent them a bank statement showing my home address) off twice and calling the Google Wallet Office in the USA to have it escalated.

    Interesting it says mine was shipped 2 days ago. It provided me with a tracking number which still has no information on it.

    Hopefully they have not messed this up as well.

    The tracking website should be updated by now.

    Crap.
