What... What... If anything, I thought Google direct costumers would get there devices first.

You would have thought so, but my colleague who ordered from Google is still waiting and has not been notified of dispatch.

I ordered from eBuyer (you still get the £15 credit when you setup google wallet - which you are prompted to do almost immediately after turning the thing on) got is quicker and saved myself some money.

Ebuyer have been rapped on the knuckles by Google for being a bit.... premature.... lol. Shame, as i was going to order from them, too....

If possible could someone contact google. They wont respond to my 3 messages i sent them on google wallet.

Online Deliveries are meant to be arriving 16th July, just some Ebuyer deliveries arrived early...

27th July Nexus7 will be available on the UK High Street.

some people said on xda, they ordered yesterday, and got their devices today

Received from ebuyer one Nexus 7 :-). Unfortunately it is my wife's birthday present so can't play with it until 27th July :-(

Gamestop have been told to sell from today, current price at $99,999... hang on, oh they are having to manually change it to $249

Received my 16 GB Nexus 7 from Ebuyer on Friday 13th. !

Loving it so far but have found several apps from google.play that say they will not work with the tablet !

Most annoying is a tun,ko error I get while trying to tether to my phone.

Otherwise lovely screen (viewing angles exceptional), battery life appears to be the quoted 8 hours

Thanks Ebuyer I got it faster than the folks that ordered from Google !!!!

thats bad luck. google must be  superstitious. thats why were getting it next week

Noticed that Google Play is showing  Buy Now option on Nexus 7 as oppose to pre-order.

Amazing.  I ordered mine straight after the announcement yet not only are Ebuyer here and Gamestop in the USA getting them today to people who ordered far later, but my order hasn't even been completed on Google Wallet.  

Really really poor show Google, a vague release date and now last minute buyers getting them before early adopters.  I will think long and hard before using such an amateurish setup in the future,

Same thing happened with the Transformer. Comet jumped the gun and started delivering them a week or so before they were supposed to be available for pre order release!

yeah i hope companies like ebuyer get told off atleast, by google

PC World have moved forward their availability date from the 19th to the 16th, so it looks like you might be able to get one in store from tomorrow.

I very much doubt it, they often take ages to distribute new gagets to their stores... be nice if they did though!

it does say it on their website. but i hope it doesnt. yes i ordered on google play

Like most here who pre-ordered believing we were to receive priority treatment, I am very disappointed with Google Play, bad showing Google I'm afraid to say and you have yet to work on the customer service side of things.

Guess I won't be an early adapter anymore and will not be using the Google Play Store for devices

I know stock needs to be sent to stores early, but for people to have picked these up already means that the deliveries must have been in stores from 12th to 14th July. Why weren't the pre-ordered stock delivered to the distributors first?

I personally could have accepted delays in actual delivery if I had received a despatch natification by now, but that has not been the case for many globally and especially in the UK (not to mention the cheek of charging for delivery too!)

Lesson learnt

Funny... I sent mail to google saying my old card was no longer valid and I updated a new one in wallet and set as default.
Maybe they should have pre-orders that DONT span month ends. Anyhow...
Got mail, said tried to debit card (like the computer didn't read my mail or think peoples cards expire) and it could not. I had to go to a link and then agree to use a new payment method (which not so strangely it already knew) and now it will hopefully be billed.
So I expect people in the UK are getting Nexus 7's soon if they are trying to bill us, just not me yet.
