I'll guess there will be more delays in Europe now that about 25% of all air traffic is closed due to the vulcano in Iceland. Probably more air traffic will be closing in the next few days. Too bad.

Well, I have lost all hope. I realize that this was really just meant for the US. Been waiting 7 weeks a well, and can't get any info from Google, Shipping partner or FedEx. Personally I have no choice but to leave the Android platform: - No Google merchant for northern europe means I cant sell applications - No paid apps for customers in northern europe means my customers cant buy - Its been like this 2 years now - No word from Google when it will be available Its really really sad, but I can't afford spending more time on Android, without beeing able to create an income, while all my competitors in the US can steal ideas and get paid.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Device Seeding Program for Top Android Market Developers
That might be the case, but I just cant understand why they would ship them by surface mail, when Google sent us mail with a 2-4 weeks timeframe. As a professional shipping partner, it should not be any problem shipping 5-20.000 units at all, considering all the other phones they ship daily. And not beeing able to deliver within 7 weeks??? Completely unbelievable. Its obvious that there some kind of big problem with Nexus-1 deliveries here. 2010/4/19 String > On Apr 19, 12:20 pm, David C wrote: > > > I received the same message has you : > > > > >All of the phones have been shipped already.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Device Seeding Program for Top Android Market Developers
> It is, after all a free gift So what? If only the developers in US got a free phone that would not bother me. I got a mail from Google saying they would give me a free phone in 2-4 weeks! Great Then I dont have to purchase the phone Ive orginally planned, and I can test my new app on yet another device. Well... After 7 weeks, no words and no phone, I had to buy the planned phone anyway. If they know its been problems with delivery of all phones outside US, so send the developers a mail. They got all the e-mail-adresses. Should be an easy task. >Ove, i understand your pain, it took a while for paid apps to get >here, and as an ex-South African, they don't even have paid app >downloads over there, so its bad. Well, its the same same for most European countries. No paid apps available for download. It wouldn't be a problem if Google said that it would support Merchang Accounts and paid apps in 2011. Then we will at least know, and can plan according to that. The situation now is just silence for over 2 years. That is not taking your developers or customers seriously. 2010/4/20 dgoemans > *stands up* > > Hi, my name's David, i'm in the Netherlands, and i haven't had a Nexus > One for 7 weeks now. > > Seriously tho, i think we need to be calm and strong.
