Has anyone actually been able to get an order through? I haven't heard of any success stories yet.

#32Earlier quoted context omitted.
Now it's in cart, but I can't checkout "Due to high volume". This has got to be the most botched product release of all time.
Cart Updated: The following items have been removed from your cart because they are currently unavailable. Nexus 4 (16GB) AMAZING!
I literally just had the same thing happen to me, after much refreshing.
Why won't you just take my money Google?

#33It's an awesome phone, but not without it's problems. I bought mine on launch day and I'm already getting a replacement. I love the phone, but along with others I'm experiencing interference in the earpiece. We'll see if a new unit fixes it.

#34This is absolutely pathetic. How is Google, of all companies, not able to handle load? And how did they manage to fail so fantastically not once, but twice, on the same product?

#35This is a bad time of the year to have 4-5 week lead times before shipping. I can't be the only one hesitating to place an order for an expensive piece of electronics that might sit on my doorstep for a week while I'm elsewhere visiting family.

I was able to get one like 5 or so minutes ago. Took me a while and lots of phantom items in the shopping cart. But I already got the confirmation email.

#37Has anyone been able to buy this? I've added it cart like 20 times now. Half the times I get an error and it's not added, the other half I get an error when I click "proceed" and then it's automagically removed from my cart.
I was there at 12:00 and wasn't able to get it. So I wonder, has anyone actually been able to buy this?
Edit: 1hr later, still trying and still failing. I'm gonna give it an hour and then check again.
Edit 2: They just posted this: Google Play is currently experiencing very high traffic. Nexus 4 is not sold out and will still be available for purchase. Please try again shortly. Thank you for your patience. There is hope yet

#38This is one of the worst shopping experiences I have ever had. I have seen it come in stock several times now, but when I add it to my cart and try to proceed to checkout, I get "Due to high demand, your order could not be processed. Please try again later." This happens every time until eventually I get the dreaded "Oops, we had trouble processing your request. We're working on fixing the issue. Please try again lat…
> This is one of the worst shopping experiences I have ever had. Try "Devices on Google Play is not available in your country yet."
Point taken, but it's more like if you got an email saying "Devices on Google Play is available in your country starting at 12:00pm!" And then you went there it said "Devices on Google Play is not available in your country. Please check back soon."

What I did last time was click to "Proceed" from the cart, even if you get a "Oops, we had trouble processing your request" error and the button is no longer blue. Eventually I was able to order the phone that way, instead of refreshing the page which removes the item from your cart. This might not work this time around, but it's worth a shot.

#40After today, all Google interviews should start with: "So, how would you implement a shopping cart system?" Amazing that this can be this bad.
