It said it would be shipped before November 4, after 10 minutes it said it would be shipped by November 8, WTF?

and now it is out of stock :)

This is ridiculous, how many pieces they had? A thousand? You gotta be kidding me.

As an African/Nigerian I am not even allowed to see what it looks like. Talk less of trying to make a purchase [1]. Last Night, I had to lie that I am in the US so I would be allowed to by Remote by 37Signals on my kindle. Quite ridiculous and annoying. http://imgur.com/eS8agor

That's how it looks for everyone outside the US.

Strangely it works for me while it shouldn't (doesn't work for any of my friends).

It's quite depressing that a 350$ phone will probably translate to 460€ in Belgium and the Netherlands. That's 626$ if you use the official exchange course between euro's and dollars. We don't have phones on Google Play. EDIT: Strike that, it's dropped to 399€, that's still 543$.

I'm getting 349€ from France.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I'm having a hard time finding the specifics on this. Do you know if this is due to it not supporting Verizon's CDMA/LTE bands, or due to a bureaucratic/carrier certification issue? It looks to me like LTE on Verizon wouldn't be supported (bands 4 and 13), but technical CDMA should work?

Part of the problem is since Verizon is CDMA and there's not really SIM cards, they can just say: "Your ESN doesn't look like a device we want to support, you can't activate it, sucks to be you"

This doesn't sound completely accurate. 4G devices that Verizon does support, like the Galaxy Nexus, do indeed have a SIM(-like?) card that you need in order to use the device on Verizon's network.

So, have they completely dropped the n4? Did they clear them out at the old low price?

yes, the n4 has been sold out on the play store for a few weeks.

So the device is unavailable in Canada. Is this going to be another Nexus 4 debacle, with nowhere near enough stock to meet demand? If so, how long until we get another "email me when there's more in stock" app?
