4-5 week ship date, google charged card today?

I had originally been charged for the phone and was given the 7–8 week delivery estimate. The fact that I had been charged had me optimistic. However it was just a hold and the money was back in my account this morning. Now not so optimistic lol. Still hoping for no more than a 3 week wait. My atrix is really starting to fail...
 
Received my email this morning that the Nexus 4 I ordered the day they put it back up for sale has shipped, was supposed to take 1-2 weeks to ship but looks like I'm getting it early.

No complaints from me! Just a little surprised that it is coming sooner than expected. Maybe they planned it this way, so now they can say they are exceeding expectations?????

I agree, all those weeks, and then it ships the same week? To exceed expectations they should be including free bumpers, or a $25 gift card to the play store Atleast! However, not a single peep from them! If this was Apple screwing up this much, it would be on the cover of Time Magazine.
 
So after being told that since the money was all taken out the phone shipped, i see today that the money is back in my account....so sad... guess I have to wait a few weeks!!! Maybe they will have bumpers by then!
 
ordered the 16gb version as i posted ;) and i got it at Order date: Nov 27, 2012 3:36PM EST so 12:36 pm pst :) 1-2 week shipping
 
Received the ship notification on the 27th, but the tracking number is still showing as not received by UPS yet. Pending charge hit my card on the 27th, posted/cleared on the 2nd. Will call Customer Service tomorrow if the tracking number doesn't update by tomorrow morning.

The hold on my money was released to day. Probably by my bank because they decided to do some transferring of it too. Hoping they start on the 2-3 week people this weekend. Or are there still 1-2 week people without a shipping notice.
 
Interesting thing just happened. I ordered on Nov. 27th, and google put a "pending" charge on my account for the N4. I figured they would leave it pending and it would actually "post" to my account (and be billable through my card company) when they shipped my device.

Anyway a week later, today, I get a notification from my credit card company that there was a large purchase (I set up an alert for charges over $250) on my card. I log in to check my account and I can see that there are now two pending charges from google for my N4. I'm not sure if this is a good sign and they will be shipping my device soon (maybe the old charge will disappear and the new charge will be the one to post) or if a mistake was made. I was in the 2-3 week shipping range so I doubt that's the case though.
 
Then when Google ships you product they will place the real charge on your card and it may once again show as pending for a day or so and then will become a true charge.

Ah, I see. This explains everything, I didn't see your post at first.

Update: Just received the shipment email with the tracking number. This is interesting since my original shipment estimate was 2-3 weeks.
