What irks me the most about this whole ordeal is the utter lack of communication from a company that prides itself on being open and transparent.
There was no release time, no numbers on the amount of phones after they sold out way too soon, no excuse for the Play Store and Wallet glitches, and now, finally, no statement on how they somehow managed to miscount their inventory.
I cannot even fathom how something like this can happen to a company like Google to begin with.
I'm really disappointed in Google, to say the least.

The amount of suckage with Google's automation-first customer service pattern and the corporate ossification of the various carriers still leaves an opening for Apple to exploit. The question is, will Apple remain supple enough to exploit this, and will the other companies wise up? (I'm on a 2nd hand Verizon phone bought off ebay, with StraightTalk no-contract 4G for $45 a month.)
- ImprovedSilence 14y agoI've never heard of StraightTalk before, but after checking them out they seem like that might be a path I want to go down. I'm been shopping around for pay as you go/ unlocked plans for a bit now, I'm kinda fed up with verizons offerings. How do you like the plan/ do you get service everywhere/are there roaming charges?
- stcredzero 14y agoSo far, no roaming charges. The service seems okay. It's basically AT&T towers. I may change back to SimpleMobile once their 3G access for iPhone gets good enough. They're not so uptight about tethering as StraightTalk. (Probably because of AT&T)
- thematt 14y agoI agree with most of that, except the lack of a release date. The November 13th date was posted and well known in advance.
