    Ok so I ordered the Nexus 4 about two weeks ago. I have been so excited to get it and I literally just got it about an hour ago. Now something crazy has happened. About 30 mins after UPS dropped off my phone UPS came back with another package. The package looked exactly the same as the first package he dropped off and I was like WTF??

    I opened the box and behold it was another Nexus 4. At this point I am all like WTF google better not have charged me twice. I ran to my computer and checked my bank account. They only charged me for one phone. I went to the google play store to check my transaction history and it also said that I only purchased one. I opened the package and looked at the invoice. Both packing slips have the same order number on them. I think Google actually messed up and sent me two Nexus 4s for the price of one.

    Has this happened to anyone else? Should I be worried? Should I do the honest thing and send it back or just accept this as a Christmas Gift from Google? I would love to give this second phone to my sister for Christmas. What do you guys think?

    I also just found out that the tracking number is the same on both packages which is very odd to me.

    I did not expect this story to be published. If the author would not mind please remove my real name from the front page and use my forum name. You can use my first name or last name only but not my full name. Thanks.

    Are you sure it shipped to your address? Wow. Lucky ducky. :) If it shipped to you and it was Google's fault by all means just keep it. I'm not saying you should keep it in the sense that it would be...erm...stealing...by not returning it, but honestly keep it.

    Yeah both boxes have my name and address on the label and both of the packing slips have the same order number on them.

    Clearly we need some pics of this amazing event. Be ready to pay for it if they did do that. They will figure it out.

    What should I take pictures of? Do you really think they will figure it out? I only got one tracking number and there is only one order number. It seems like it would be hard to figure out what exactly happened unless they do some investigation and is it really worth it to Google to investigate one missing phone?

    I will work on getting some pictures up. Maybe I can get a front page story? =P

    It's not your fault they messed up. You have no obligation to send it back. Give it to your sister as a gift. Google makes tons of these phones, one missing one won't hurt them at all.
