Backordered Galaxy Nexus thread

[Droid592]

Did you get ours via USPS? I should've had it on the 21st, but no one knows where it is... Sucks...

The way they did it was dumb but at the same time put a rush on my order,I originally had the Rezound and called to do the exchange and for whatever reason they shipped my new sim card out first via ups. So when that happen I called Amazon and they over night ed my phone via ontrac

Ok, so has anyone actually received their phone from letstalk.com yet? I can tell you that I am patiently waiting on my phone and I will be patient until January 2nd. If isn't here, I will probably have some very ugly words for whoever answers the phone from letstalk. I ordered it release day and was originally told I would have it on the following Monday.

I gave up on this. I cancelled and got a GNex from verizon, cost 75.00 more but it was worth the extra money to save the aggravation. BTW the phone is great!

Don't forget that letstalk sent out a free offer for $25.00 on accessories. I ordered a pouch from there today basically for free. I don't really care if I use it or not. The selection of accessories on their site is grim: nothing interesting like otterbox or seidio cases. I wasted well more than 25.00 waiting on hold for them to find out about my order status, and the fact that they were nowhere near to being able to handle the demand for this phone pissed me off. Shabby Shabby Shabby. /endrant.

Yeah, I was surprised at how poorly they handled it. I would bet that they thought "quiet launch, no one will want it", but instead they completely ran out and couldn't keep up with the demand.
Also, when I ordered it it said 7-10 days. Now it says estimated ship date in 10-14 days. Actually, regardless of when you ordered it (+- 3 days) it said around Dec. 30 to Jan 3 for many people, so maybe they will get more in soon.

I went to Costco on the 15th and paid $289 which included the bundle of car charger, extra charger, two cases, screen protectors (but prefer the Verizon one especially for the GN. I also love this phone and now really glad I didn't go for the Droid Rzr.

I ordered one from LetsTalk on the 17th and recieved it on the 23rd.

Amazon is no longer taking orders due to extreme high demand, no eta when they will be able to accept orders again.

Someone reported on LetsTalk's fb page they had their order cancelled by them workout customers consent.

So I hope this isn't another bestbuy fiasco

I went to the late site a couple times. But there wasn't the deal u speak of. Maybe it ended beforehand. ...... I got mine at best buy yesterday. I like the price guarantee. That way if the price drops, I can get some back.

the sale ended at midnight Dec 15

launch price was $249 with $75 coupon from their fb page making it $174

So who else opted for the savings and braved the wait? Share where you bought it, for how much and your estimated delivery time.

I got mine for $ 174.99 at letstalk and the estimated wait time is one to two weeks.

I will wait a week at most, but will cancel after that

such things happen when you order a phone from someone nobody's ever heard of


seriously though, it comes down to this: either you pay $300 and get it immediately, or you pay $200 and wait until god knows when.

Not true at all, I got my phone within a week from them. It was worth it.

Me too I got mine in 4 days from amazon for 50 bucks after $100 amazon gift card. You can't beat that

That Amazon deal sounds good too. I just checked the site. It appears they took the phone off due to back order.

I'm glad that I got mine when I did
