This doesn't cut the mustard and should not excuse LG and Google for the purchasing chaos. People who ordered just a few days ago have already received their phones, while others have been waiting for weeks. Some people are even ordering a second phone just to see if they get a shipping notification, and if they do, cancelling their original order. It's a bit of a farce.

Agree, but it does debunk the suspicion of artificially constrained supply. Phones are too hot and cycle too quickly to string out sales.

I sympathize with the low estimate of demand. The Play Store debacle is embarrassing though. I suspect that's Wallet's fault.
