That is SO annoying. Can't they just show us the info, without letting us buy.
Google really sucks at this geo stuff. They turned off access to Google music (my OWN music uploaded!) today abroad. It makes me wonder who runs their geo department.
I ordered mine just before midnight on 1st November (so 2 days after launch almost). Delivery time was stated as 3-4 weeks, expected delivery was 28th November. It got delivered yesterday! Still haven't opened the box yet cos I am away for work :(
I'm in Canada too. I actually may end up returning mine, since LTE will not work in Europe and I return in 4 months....
The phone feels nice, size wise. I'm a fellow with big palms and stubby fingers, and it feels just fine. In an effort to answer both questions at once.. http://i.imgur.com/tU642P1.jpg
I got mine this week as well. The camera is about what you expect from the reviews - acceptable, but not amazing. The biggest problem is start-up and focus lag when using the camera, but I read at least one review indicating that an update is coming out soon to address this.
I'm happy with it size-wise, it feels about the same as the S3 I had before it (but with speed and screen noticeably improved)
In the 1 day i have had it, my observation is that battery seems to be an issue... as an anecdote: at 90% charge, it shows the following "3h 51m 9s on battery". And in the breakdown allocation, it shows "Screen" as taking 61% of the total. [This is with just the default settings the phone came with.]
One of the interesting things about their pricing is that going from 16 to 32 GBs is only $50, vs $100 for the iPhone.
I imagine this could do more damage to Apple's margins than anything else Google or Nexus does, if Apple starts to lose the premium they charge for storage upgrades.
