Yeah mine says that too, that's what the page said too when it first went up (or when I first saw it anyway).

Been up for 11 minutes without being sold out, it's a record!

I wonder if they'll just do what they're doing in the US and keep taking orders with progressively longer wait times. You've been able to order the 16GB in the US for almost a week solid now, but you're in for a couple month wait.

Well processed, but it went from 1-2 to 3-4 weeks in that time. Blargh.

or you can just cut your sim down to size. there are plenty of guides online that show you how to do it

So I've never swapped a sim card into another phone before. Is it really as easy as just popping it into the new phone? (going from BB to Nexus)

As long as the size is the same, yes. It can take 15 - 60 minutes until everything works, but just give it a bit of time after you pop it in.

the only important part of your sim is the chip which is visible. the rest is just filler

That makes a ton of sense, I had just never thought about it before.

Is there no way to get the Nexus 7 with HSPA+ in canada without ordering through Google? Went to FS and BB and the only sold the WIFI versions, and mentioned that you can only get it through cell providers, but I cant seem to find anyone who carries it.

If I did order it through google, are there issues with adding a tablet that wasnt purchased with rogers on one of thier plans?

Looks like Google may be a bit ahead of the shipping curve now, I ordered mine from the US store on Nov. 27th when the shipping estimate was "2-3 weeks", and it shipped today.

All you peeps getting the N4 beware, it is extremely slippery. I put mine on a book that was on my nightstand. The N4 somehow wiggled it's way off the book (which was completely horizontal) and fell onto the carpeted floor. It took 15 minutes to achieve this. The glass must be coated with an anti-friction paste (CDC paste maybe?) because I have never had a phone slide off of horizontal surfaces as much as this phone. Be careful where you put it.

I will be buying the bumper for it when it goes back on sale.
