It's cool bro, I found out you can connect your phone to the computer, start up the Samsung Kies program, and download the upgrade from there. Thanks though.

Yea but the thing is
There were TONS of people like me who are getting multiple phones and cant cancel the order, People still unsure about getting one or on back order and the FACT THEY TOOK $XXXX .XX OF DOLLARS OUT OF A ACCOUNT WITHOUT A FOR SURE conformation.
3 weeks is alot. You can just tell them that you want to cancel and buy off of ebay or atleast not have a -$300 or -$350 plus tax&shipping missing from the bank accounts.

they don't charge your account until they ship it out. what you might have seen was a pre-authorization charge.
3 weeks is not a lot. they're already selling the phone at cost and now they're offering those who got the backorder email free shipping. google can't win here

I love Google. I really love their products. I have a Nexus 7, waiting on m nexus 4, Looking to get a chromebook and I'm signed up to all their programs. Even with all of that I they dropped the ball abit with this. I expect this crap out of Nike. Though its the First time they had it like this so its fine. Just NEXT TIME when the Nexus 4.1, 5 or what ever its called I expect better.

Popular Science picks Google Now as the Innovation of the Year
Since its launch alongside Android 4.1 Jelly Bean back at Google IO in the summer, Google Now has become an intriguing, and in some cases integral part of every day life. Android nerds aren't the only ones to take a shine to the service either it seems, with Popular Science naming it as the Innovation of the Year.
Make no mistake, this is an impressive accolade to receive. Google Now finds itself among such distinguished company as the digital camera, the Large Hadron Collider and follows on as the second Google service to receive the honor after Google Maps.
In naming Google Now as the winner, Popular Science editor-in-chief, Jacob Ward, even took a slight swipe at Apple's Siri in the process:
Voice interfaces like Siri seem outdated by comparison. With Google Now, you don’t pull the phone out when an idea occurs to you. You pull it out when an idea occurs to it.
Google Now is still in the early days, and as promised at Google IO during the unveiling, we're expecting to see much more from it as time goes on.

Got my Nexus 4 in a few hours ago but haven't had much time to mess around with it. I gotta say though that I already love it from the little time I have used it. I'm coming from the Galaxy Nexus, so the leap isn't a huge one. Anyways, here are a few things I've noticed......
-Compared to the GNex, the colors most definitely aren't as vibrant. It looks good, but there is a noticeable washed out feel to the colors. Not a dealbreaker to me. Overall though, the clarity on the screen is beast. Definitely on par w/ Apple's Retina, IMO.
-The screen is a joy to type on. I'm not sure if anything is different from the GNex, but I swear it feels like I'm typing on a big iPhone when it comes to accuracy. The GNex gave me FITS with accuracy even though the screen size is virtually the same. There was a point where I even contemplated getting a different phone b/c I had such trouble typing on it. I won't have that problem with the Nexus 4.
-The build quality is lovely. I love the grippy edges on it because if it weren't for those, this thing would be tough to hold on to. The phone is lighter than I thought it would be too. It looks like a heavy phone, but you pick it up and you're surprised at how portable it feels because of the weight.
-The speaker is louder than the GNex, thankfully. The only problem is that the phone lays flat, so unless you prop it up somehow, you're right back to GNex sound quality.
-From a few test photos I took, the camera is clearly better than the GNex, as expected. That's a big plus for me, since taking random pics of my 18-month old is mainly what I use my phone's camera for. Comparing it to the latest iPhone (which seems to be the standard in the handset world), I wouldn't say the N4 is quite on par with it. But it definitely is no slouch and should more than suffice for most people.
-The speed is lovely. Apps seem to open up quicker than the GNex. I'm sure it isn't THAT much faster, but I can see a difference. Haven't had a chance to go through the paces w/ it yet though, so time will tell how the processor fares with a ton of stuff running at once.
All in all, this is a solid purchase. Cosmetically, this phone wows me, but that isn't saying much considering my previous plastic phone. As cool as I thought the GNex was, it really is kind of ugly compared to the N4. But other than looks, nothing else makes me say "damn". That said, I would no doubt tell anyone on the fence to purchase this device....it just feels like the next natural step in the Nexus line's progression. Can't wait until the N5!
If anyone has any questions, feel free.....

I don't think Google expected for the Nexus 4 to have this "iPhone" type hype.

How could they not they made a $300 phones Unlocked with all the features of Any high end phones -Memory expansion.
Then they PIMPED IT out to every single tech site and blog
They called it the Flagship of Android
They were running off of the greatness that was the Nexus 7.
The orginal Nexus one was a contract phone then it was
Nexus S $450 off contract
Galaxy Nexus $400 off contract
Nexus 4 $300 off contract
You cant help but love this. Any tech persona and every tech person would.

Likely issue is LG cant produce enough Optimus G's and Nexus 4's.
If LG was smart they could have put vanilla android on the Optimus G and made some money.

I'm just saying. I mean, who would have thought that people would be reselling Nexus devices for the price of a hyped up iPhone?
Products can be well advertised, put crazy specs on it, be the successor of a great product, and still tank.

I may cop one as a back up phone to use for when I'm selling my main devices, or wait till the note 2 or s3 gets dirt cheap which I doubt is gonna happen soon.
