I went through the same issues as you, and most everyone else here. Not getting e-mailed that it'll be available for purchase, vague error messages during checkout, cart randomly getting emptied, etc.

Before it was available for purchase, I was on the fence about whether or not it was actually a worthwhile purchase for me. I ultimately decided it was, but Google did everything in their power to prevent me from giving them my money. Depending on how quickly they actually get new stock in, I will probably just end up deciding that I don't actually need the phone after all.

Disappointing.
