Can anybody confirm if the 16GB was ever available? I see 8GB available but not 16GB.

it was. I was able to add it to my shopping cart, but kept getting errors when pressing a 'proceed' button. Others succeeded though.

I wonder when will the stock be available again? And will it be a much larger stock? I'm not rushing to buy, but I hope to have some order this week.

Had about 7 failures after hitting the 'Buy' button. Hopefully more 16GB are available soon. I can't imagine the 8GB would sell out, with only 5.5GB of usable space that's pretty small for a phone today.

It did sell out in other countries...

Cart Updated: The following items have been removed from your cart because they are currently unavailable. Nexus 4 (8GB) - Out of Stock

Also, I can't believe that Google of all people, can't run a store that can handle load. Instead, it's server errors and mysterious blank pages and "Sorry, a problem happened" pages. Disgusting.

11:00 CT The 8 GB version now shows availability and the 16 GB version does not. It is not clear what is happening with regards to site/infrastructure issues or sold out status of the 16 GB version. 11:05 CT The 16 GB version briefly showed itself as available. I successfully added it to my cart. But, I immediately received an error when trying to check out. 11:10 CT Both the 8 GB and the 16 GB are not showing availa…

It went live at 10:30 CT

For all that is holy, why can't Google show to folks outside US/Canada at least some specs and promo pages of the device? I'm not even asking for ability to put a preorder, but why are we left only with the silent void with literally nothing but "Sorry! Devices on Google Play is not available in your country yet"? What a brilliant way to disappoint people and divert thousands of potential customers away.

Considering the troubles they've been having keeping the thing in stock, I doubt "diverting potential customers away" is really a huge concern for them.

The specs and promo page are available at google.com/nexus. The play store really doesn't have anything other than a buy button.

This is so exciting as a Android user and such a repeated slap in the face as an early adopter of Wallet.

There's a temp charge on my credit card, but nothing in Google Wallet, and I never managed to see the confirmation page. Crossing my fingers.

EDIT: about 20 minutes later it showed up in Google Wallet as pending. There is hope!

It was available and I think I managed to get one. I have yet to receive an email confirmation, but it shows up in my list of past purchases from Play. I bought it around 8:40 PST.
