Let’s cut to the chase. I want a Nexus One. I’m even prepared to pay for it, which I have never done with a phone before. I even sold my old phone to pay for it. Desperation clearly to have this phone in my palm. However, having just tried to figure out how to order one for the UK market I “stumbled” upon the following forum feed. Link Here.
Unsuprisingly the ordering of the Nexus One is throwing up loads of problems, especially for UK consumers. The information on the site isn’t clear if you are coming from the UK, especially as to whether it will work with certain providers. The ordering is another matter altogether with huge problems for most people trying to order the phone.
Most complaints seem to be about “credit card declined”, which actually appears to be a Google Checkout problem. Quite a few people have waited 18 hours+ for a response from Google with little help in between.
Digigen Comment:
You would have thought Google would have thought of these problems ahead of time and put proper risk structures in place to advert immediate negative ill feeling. I don’t remember this happening to Apple before, but perhaps that is because Apple is such a good retailer anyway that these channels had been open for awhile.
