This 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…

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.

I wish I had read that 15 min ago.

UPDATE: Nah, I tried that, Now I'm getting a popup "Due to high demand, your order could not be processed. Please try again later." UPDATE 2 : "Oops, we had trouble processing your request. We're working on fixing the issue. Please try again later."

I guess now you know for next time, since it doesn't look like Google is fixing the process.

It's in my cart, but clicking proceed gives an error... edit: 5 times I've been to the last screen only to press 'Buy' and see another error.

Same here. I can get it in my cart, but can't checkout. It gives me an error, then it empties my cart. Apple must be having a good laugh at this

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

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.

Did you keep clicking the "Proceed" button when you're in the cart page?

I'm looking to upgrade from my Galaxy Nexus (the USB port is broken and it's annoying to charge the battery by pulling it out).

How big of a concern for people that its only HSPA+? I've only ever used HSPA+ so I'm not sure how much faster really is LTE. I know you can get 20mbs download speeds but realistically for page loads and browsing is it that much smoother of an experience?

This worked for me after about 5 minutes of clicking.
