Where is your phone? Mine left Minneapolis early this morning and is still on track for a Wednesday delivery.

Mine changed back to Wednesday again. Last I checked it left Winnipeg.

I'm in the same boat (or transport truck, more likely).

Thought this was interesting. Wind Mobile advertising a promotion with the Nexus 4. Buy it from GooglePlay, bring it to them and get a new plan and they'll give you 50 dollar credit. It's not mind blowing by any means just thought it was funny to see the phone on their website.

I have only ever bought phone from my service provider. Do I need to do anything special once I receive my new phone or do I just take it into them and get it activated? I am with Bell if it makes any difference and I currently have a blackberry.

All you have to do is make sure you have a MicroSim from your provider, that's it. The Nexus 4 will work with Bell, go into any Bell store, take your normal Sim out of your Blackberry and tell them you wish to swap it for a MicroSim, put it into your Nexus 4 and that's it.

This was me last night knowing it's going to get delivered today




On a side note. Anyone know if the delivery needs a signature or do they just drop it off?

[worth]

Mine did not require a signature

[aaronck]

Mine's out for delivery, I assume I'll miss it, I wonder if they'll leave it at the door or if I'll have to pick it up

[photon]

They just left it at my door even though I was home.

Posting from it, it synced all the apps from my tablet

[MrMastodonFarm]

Very interested to hear your thoughts photon.

[photon]

It's too big!!

Haven't used it as a phone yet, haven't transferred my SIM card yet.

Crazy slippery.

Not sure if it was mentioned anywhere else, but Google Music now has a free matching service which saves a ton of uploading time. Just from a quick test, it seems like most stuff works though there's the odd thing that needs to be fully uploaded.

I just did about 700MB worth of music in 5-10 minutes on a Shaw High Speed 20 connection which has an upload max of 512kbps (about 65 KB/s). That would've taken 3 hours to actually upload all those files on that connection so there's a huge time saving, especially if your upload speed isn't great.

Like other matching services, regardless of the bit rate your original file is you can stream it at 320 kbps, though if you download it later you'll get a lower bit rate version.

Still waiting for it to be dropped off

[Muffins]

sitting in my mailbox.......must.......get.....home.

This is why I get stuff like this delivered to work.

Of course, it somewhat kills my productivity on those days.

I usually get stuff delivered to work also, but I'm off till Christmas. Sucks wasting the whole day waiting for a package. Wish they would just drop it off at the nearest UPS store so i could get it myself.
