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?

I thought Canada was still in love with blackberry. It makes me wonder if this is some sort of marketing ploy microsoft tried with the surface having lines and being sold out.

The Surface lines weren't marketing ploys. They just happened to consist mainly of excited MSFT employees.

I was able to get one about 20 minutes ago. It looks like they sold out here that quickly.

That was fast. I though they said it won't be like for the Nexus 4 which was sold out in something like 30 minutes. I will wait for the next batch then. Thanks.

I just ordered a white 32GB one 5 minutes ago. Ships on the 8th.

Good job Google! Much better experience than last year on the Play Store.

The sensor list has an interesting addition (Hall Effect). I'd be curious to see how it's implemented and how to interface with it. Possibly connected with the wireless charging support?

Sensors: Accelerometer GPS Compass Proximity/Ambient Light Gyroscope Pressure Hall Effect

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 is completely false. Verizon uses SIM cards for many devices.

They use LTE sim cards. You still need CDMA to make calls and send texts.

Only the black 16GB version in the UK store at the minute. Selling for £299.99. Looks like a really nice device. I got the Nexus 4 in July and have liked it but found it lacking in a few areas. Looking forward to trying the 5.

I got an order in for the black 32GB version. No email confirmation yet though..

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.

That's for LTE. You need CDMA to make calls and send texts.

I've just received a confirmation email for a 32GB B&W. Although it says that they'll actually take my money when it ships out to me, so I'm still holding my breath a bit :)
