The Story of my Nexus 4 purchase

Oh yeah , My ordered went through! 2 hours later!

So I missed the launch on Nov 13th because the phone is sold out within the first hour.
Plus my current service provided doesnt support GSM , oh well.

Anyway when http://platinumtel.com announce that they are switching to GSM..... I was like...ohhhhh yess!!! Now I can finally use any unlocked gsm phone and I love to have that option because getting an unlocked gsm phone is much better for me!

Anyway so I was googling and of course I stumble with NEXUS 4.

Ain't it pretty? Very very pretty! with top notch spec (Almost, for the price, it is a steal!)
4.7 inch IPS screen !!!

Anyway I am beyond excited  when they announce that today, TUESDAY Noc 27th 12pm PDT, google play store will open it up for sale! I was like WOW! About time!


THEN THE NIGHTMARE BEGIN.

I started exactly at 12pm when I saw the Add to Cart button appearing. I was so excited and add one.. smoothly. The next step is to proceed to checkout (it will direct you to google wallet ) Seem straightforward doesn't it?

Oh hell no....... you will keep getting

Due to high demand, your order could not be processed. Please try again later.
Mmmmmm ok....... so I tried again later. Exactly 5 minute later.....
Then it change to sold out, emptied out my cart, the stupid please try again later...bla bla bla....
SO I started to google on people who have succeed buying this evil phone. So what they did is, simply add to cart, tab until the proceed button is highlighted, then put something heavy on your enter button, so it will keep "clicking" proceed non-stop.
My first attempt failed miserably... I thought I will never get this phone.
I was boot out from the cart atleast 10 times, I added this phone atleast 30+ time on diff browsers on 2 diff computer.
It is starting to feel like a cruel joke played by google.
And then I decided to try again the add to cart , and put something heavy on your enter button.
Then I walked away from my computer. 5 minute later.....
THE GOOGLE WALLET PAGE POP UP! and It ASKED FOR MY CREDIT CARD NUMBER.
I WAS SHAKING AND PRACTICALLY JUMPING FOR JOY!

I quickly choose my payment method and hit submit! I didnt even look at the final price. I was just clicking the submit button. To me, get the order first....if I accidently bought more, then I can cancel it or resell it or whatever... I know people are selling it on ebay for 100+ more than the actually price.

But I did get only 8gb version plus tax and shipping for $339.15.
It will be shipped to me between 4-5 weeks. I just cant wait!
Here's the spec of this beauty
