At least you can buy it, for the people who live in countries w/o PlayStore, amazon is our last chance.
[Nexus 5 General] the1onewolf:
Will amazon officially stock it in your country or is this still through 3rd parties?
[Nexus 5 General] HDdarkmantis:
No, i'm from Venezuela, in Latin America we don't have Amazon nor GPlay, BUT, if it's available on the US Amazon, i can buy it.

A have Giftcards to spend on amazon, MAYBE i could buy it from radioshack or BestBuy if becomes available without contract.
[Nexus 5 General] Towerdragon:
The only reason I'm choosing amazon is also gift cards and if they do prime shipping I can have it in 1 or two days instead of waiting close to a month for Google Play.
[Nexus 5 General] LuBi:
Good luck!

:fingers-crossed: Hopefully it's a good day, good luck everyone!

*Edit - $499.99 off contract 16GB? black http://www.amazon.com/Google-Nexus-5-Black-Sprint/dp/B00GCLZJ1G
[Nexus 5 General] adma84:
how did you find this link? Whenever I search on amazon for this phone, too much garbage comes up.
[Nexus 5 General] looney2388:
Over-priced too much. The 16gb goes for $450 on ebay. I think only the Sprint Nexus 5 comes out today at best buy and amazon. T-mobile gets theres on the 20th. So the unlock version by best buy and amazon may not come out for a while but I will keep on checking
[Nexus 5 General] thfreedumb:
So you think there's going to be another unlocked version besides the presumadely unlocked sprint version? Not sure amazon would compete with itself like that but anything is possible.

I guess im putting in the play order now. I can always cancel/refuse package. prob should have done this awhile ago tho. ha
[Nexus 5 General] tpstellar:
Just to throw my two cents in, at least one Amazon chat representative doesn't think it'll be in for awhile.

Crossing my fingers that it's just a generic response and we get a release today!
[Nexus 5 General] the green man:
November 12th?

You are now connected to Mohan from Amazon.com

Me:Nexus 5 release date

Mohan:Hello, my name is Mohan. I'll be happy to help you.

Me:can you tell me when the nexus 5 will be sold by amazon? http://www.amazon.com/Google-Nexus-Unlo...(See full link)

Mohan:As of now we haven't received any update from the sellers.

We'll update it sooner and I request you to wait for few more days for the updation.

Me:What kind of update? Will I be notified via email?

Mohan:You can check the updates in our website, Mike.

Me:Google is selling it direct. I am told amazon will carry it. I would prefer to give amazon the business.. but cannot wait much longer.

wish amazon could give a date so set expectations for other people that are also waiting

Mohan:I will personally follow up with this issue and send you an e-mail if the item is available from Amazon by November 12.

Is that fine?

Me:yes, that would be great. Thank you

Mohan:If its not available by then you can try to purchase this item from different source.
[Nexus 5 General] adibeckett:
The $499 price tag is quite disappointing :crying:.

Hopefully there's some good news on Nov 12th?

Sigh, may as well have to go through google...
[Nexus 5 General] thfreedumb:
how easy is the refuse delivery with ups? I have UPS mychoice. Is it possible to refuse delivery before the first attempt using mychoice? Or do I need to wait for the InfoNotice (sticker on door) before doing so?

I figure Amazon has 2-3 weeks. they said before the holiday season so i think after thanksgiving and we have nothing, it'll probably stay that way (just the sprint version).

I'm not hopeful for tmobile being that cheap.
[Nexus 5 General] HDdarkmantis:
I dont know why Nexus phone has that much problem to be sold at real price, Nexus 7 sells at real price! why not the Nexus 4,5 and 10?
[Nexus 5 General] adma84:
Phones don't cost the same as a tablet to make. You may notice that phones unsubsidized cost much more than most tablets. Who knows if Amazon gets the phone for the same cost Google is selling it for on the play store. For all we know, Google is selling at a loss in the play store, but not willing to distribute through other retailers at a loss.

I spoke with a rep and here's what she said. Not sure what to do..leaning towards Play store.

04:58 PM(GMT) Praveen(CSA): Hello, This is Praveen. I will be happy to help you.

04:59 PM(GMT) Me: Good Morning Praveen.

04:59 PM(GMT) Praveen(CSA): Good Morning

05:00 PM(GMT) Me: Hello

I'm just wondering if Amazon has the Nexus 5?

Also would it be Google Play pricing?

05:01 PM(GMT) Praveen(CSA): Can you please provide me the link of the item?

05:01 PM(GMT) Me: I'm asking if Amazon has this product

https://play.google.com/store/devices/details?id=nexus_5_white_32gb

05:03 PM(GMT) Praveen(CSA): I checked the item and found that the item is currently not sold by Amazon.com. However, the item is available on our website and is sold by different sellers.

Please check the link:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00GD9R79O/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&condition=new

05:04 PM(GMT) Me: Yes I am aware of that, I'm wondering if Amazon will sell it soon. It was released last week

Google said Amazon will sell the product

05:05 PM(GMT) Praveen(CSA): Yes, it will be sold by Amazon.com. Once the item will be available in stock from the distributors, we will update it on the website.

05:05 PM(GMT) Me: Okay.

Hopefully it will be soon

I found this

http://www.amazon.com/Google-Nexus-5-Black-Sprint/dp/tech-data/B00GCLZJ1G/ref=de_a_smtd

05:07 PM(GMT) Praveen(CSA): It is the plan available for sprint users.

05:07 PM(GMT) Me: So do you think there will be another listing for the device from Amazon.com

Just like the google pricing

05:07 PM(GMT) Praveen(CSA): Yes, there you are correct.\

05:08 PM(GMT) Me: Oh, that's great

I will wait a little longer

for the posting to update

05:08 PM(GMT) Praveen(CSA): Sure, you can check our website on regular basis. It will be updated shortly.

Would there be anything else that I can assist you with today?

05:08 PM(GMT) Me: Nope

Hahah is almost the same price as the 32 gb on the google play store with the gift cards i have including shipping still not playing 439 for the 16gb when i can pay around 440 on google play for the 32gb come on amazon dont let me down. take money take my money!!!!!
[Nexus 5 General] LuBi:
I just kept checking every once and a while, I was selecting prime shipping as that weeds out most junk. I figured it was going to be a Sprint contract phone so I also checked contract, no-contract, and unlocked categories.

That's what I'm thinking, but at that rate I bet the Play Store would arrive before then. I think T-Mobile is the next best bet, and I think they'll have the 32GB unlike Sprint as they are listed when you click buy now at Google. What their price will be? Who knows..
[Nexus 5 General] adibeckett:
It was leaked that T-mobile will get the phones by Nov 20th. I guess I'll wait till then. If the price isn't the same on Tmobile and/or Amazon's part, guess Google store will have to do.
[Nexus 5 General] LuBi:
Update Amazon just lowered the off-contract price to $449.99, which is still a $100 premium over the Play Store price but inline with Sprint.

Yeah that's what I was alluding to.. I think you're making the right choice waiting. Good luck.
[Nexus 5 General] adibeckett:
I would probably be buying at the google store by now but for some reason, paying the $10 in shipping is not very appealing. Somewhat irrational, but still $10.

Haha at the first "review" of the phone:
[Nexus 5 General] thfreedumb:
Might as well put in your order on google play. ships in 3 weeks for the 16g. plenty of time to refuse package if tmobile is cheaper. I doubt they will be but they might have a promo like $50 off or a free accessory.
[Nexus 5 General] STXInnovation:
Is the "Sprint" Nexus 5 the same thing as the Google Play Nexus 5? Could I insert a T-Mobile SIM into a "Sprint" Nexus 5 and use it with full functionality? Or is the Sprint version locked to Sprint?
[Nexus 5 General] Towerdragon:
I don't know I have been hearing reports that it says locked on the Box which would not surprise me with Sprint to do that. I will not buy on or off contract if sprint has locked the sim card. Leaning towards Google play store now more than ever. I do have one question will GPS charge when the phone ships or immediately.
[Nexus 5 General] thor6577:
Do you guys think that they will post an unlocked version on the Amazon market soon?
[Nexus 5 General] thfreedumb:
The people at reddit have basically given up. I'd say order from google play and if anything comes it will probably be before your order ships from the play store.

It sounds like the sprint version is unlocked but wont know until someone tests it out.

I mean, technically, amazon is selling the nexus 5 right now.
[Nexus 5 General] the1onewolf:
Pretty lame ending.

The one silver lining to ordering from Google play is slightly better QC (at least judging from how things went last year).:crying:
[Nexus 5 General] looney2388:
I've read some where that the sprint version is unlocked cus someone put their T-Mobile sim in it and it worked.
[Nexus 5 General] Towerdragon:
I am done waiting ordered from Google Play hopefully it comes before Christmas lol.
[Nexus 5 General] scuda216:
Amazon Sprint Nexus 5 Unlocked!

I just received my Nexus 5 from Amazon this morning and popped my AT&T sim in and it activated.
[Nexus 5 General] soulbluprint:
Boo

Sold out on Google Play... Again. Yeah, I'm going to take a wild guess that Amazon - if and when they do carry it - will most likely charge the same as T-Mobile/Best Buy/Sprint/Etc.. Guess my cheap ass will have to bite the bullet with Google Play... Whenever they finally stock them again. :p

Edit: Of course, right after I post this, they pop back up again as available. Love it.
[Nexus 5 General] powruser:
I got mine from best buy, I had them price match the Google play store. Even tho its the "sprint" version it still says model number d820 and I'm using a T-Mobile straight talk Sim right now with it no problem.
[Nexus 5 General] thfreedumb:
i thought someone said they wouldn't do a price match to the google play store. you got it from best buy for $350?
[Nexus 5 General] powruser:
They're not technically supposed to. It's a your mileage may vary thing
[Nexus 5 General] adibeckett:
T-Mobile will sell the phone at $449.99

Interesting:
[Nexus 5 General] aimfire72:
Ordered the Sprint one from Amazon for $449 on Nov 8. Got overnight delivery for $8 (had a gift card). Arrived as scheduled on Nov 9. It's unlocked, doesn't even say Sprint on the box.

I didn't feel like waiting the 4-5 weeks for Play Store to get it in stock and have to deal with any potential defects, sending it back, etc. Wife having baby in 4-5 weeks, lol... Was worth it for me to pay the extra $100 when I have free time now to enjoy it ;)
[Nexus 5 General] thor6577:
Are you using it on Sprint service?
[Nexus 5 General] Jmahoneyy:
Could you scan and upload your receipt? I want to see if my best buy will price match yours.

I did that one with a tablet and got 100 off, it was sweet!
[Nexus 5 General] powruser:
Attached receipt for you, good luck!
[Nexus 5 General] thor6577:
You guys think that Amazon will list the Nexus 5 at GP price?
[Nexus 5 General] adma84:
I personally do not think so.
[Nexus 5 General] sn0warmy:
Wow! I can't believe you got Bestbuy to match Google Play pricing. Had I not already received mine from Google Play I'd definitely give this a try.
[Nexus 5 General] Nexii:
I was going to wait for amazon to order another, the fiancee wants one as well. But if best buy is matching i prices, ill just check out my best byu store tomorrow.
[Nexus 5 General] klin1344:
Please tell us how it goes.
[Nexus 5 General] Nexii:
Will do. Just to verify. The sprint one that best buy sells is unlocked correct?
[Nexus 5 General] LuBi:
Yes, I can confirm it will work without issue. I was told the box says something about a software lock but if so it is outright wrong.
[Nexus 5 General] Aleksey@Android:
Guys in BB store (MILPITAS, CA) rejected to sell me the phone without a plan even on a full price.
[Nexus 5 General] HadenVR:
WOO WOOO, worked out in my favor

Bless you sir, I went to my local bestbuy, had printed out and showed them the Google Play's page where it showed the price as $349 and then had your receipt as a backup in case the staff were to be hesitant about doing the price match.

Although I had the papers printed out to show the price of the Nexus 5 during the purchase of the nexus 5, the staff working there went directly online on the computer and checked Google's Play store page to confirm the price of the phone which later the staff asked me to hold on and went on to ask the manager if it was okay to do the price match and purchase the phone without a phone plan as it was being carriered by Sprint.

Luckily, nothing went wrong for me as the manager lit the green light indicting it was good to go to process with the price match the same as the Google's Play store's price of the Nexus 5 which then later I've walked out the store happily with the Nexus 5 :victory::victory::victory:

Was suuuupper nervous throughout the whole process of purchasing the phone but man, never have I felt happier to finally own the phone without waiting for Google to ship it out within 3-4 weeks which would have been an eternity for me. :crying::crying:

I'm guessing everyone's mileage with the price match may vary for each bestbuy stores as you've experienced getting rejected on requesting the price match, so I would suggest on checking on bestbuys site to see if other stores in the areas have the phone in stock and go on a journey to visit every bestbuys around your area that have the phone in stock until you find that one store who allows the price match.(I was willing to go to the extent of visiting multiple bestbuys until I would get the phone with the price match same as Google's)

Good luck hunting if you happen to not yet own one and can not control the urge to get the phone asap!
[Nexus 5 General] bblzd:
Saved yourself some shipping too! Though most people have got their phones by now who ordered in the first couple days.
[Nexus 5 General] HadenVR:
Yup!

Unfortunately though, I wasn't able to purchase the phone when it got released and weeks after that due to being broke :/

So the alternative for me when I've saved enough money for the phone was to hope on purchasing the phone from best buy with the price match which luckily worked out for me :D

... SENT FROM NEXUS 5, YEHHH xD

32GB Black on Amazon

Didn't see this posted, Amazon is selling the black 32GB for $449.99. Considering tax and shipping from google play, this is decent deal if you do not pay tax thru Amazon.

If posted already my apologies, i searched through and it looked like the 16gb was being chatted about.

http://www.amazon.com/Google-Nexus-...=UTF8&qid=1384454187&sr=8-15&keywords=nexus+5
[Nexus 5 General] 1stx2:
Hmmm that isn't to bad. That's only about 7 more dollars than what I paid for mine on Google play. I might just cancel that order since my ship date is saying 11/26. Does anybody know how to exchange process works on amazon? Is it similar to google play rma?
[Nexus 5 General] thfreedumb:
Can anyone verify that this is the 32g? It looks like people on the amazon page are unsure since sprint said they will only sell the 16g.

I was wondering if anyone purchased from Amazon and can help us? I would hate to accidently receive the 16g.
[Nexus 5 General] dncpunke:
I do not know that. I do know the white 32gb I ordered from Google play that said would not ship until the 22nd, arrived yesterday. So you may be getting your phone sooner than you think :)

I ordered it on Nov. 8th
[Nexus 5 General] 1stx2:
I hope its the 32gb. If so, I might just order it today.

I ordered mine 11/5 and have not received any information. I really do hope it ships soon.
[Nexus 5 General] thfreedumb:
I will order today when Amazon gets back to me. I could only do an email because im at work. maybe someone can try to call them and ask?
[Nexus 5 General] shaqspaere:
Just placed order with overnight Shipping. I'll be able to confirm tomorrow if it's 32 GB, if not, back to Amazon it goes.
[Nexus 5 General] thfreedumb:
I wonder if amazon would give you a $50 credit if it ends up being the 16g.
[Nexus 5 General] 1stx2:
I think I'm going to go ahead and get one to. I just hope it's a 32gb.

---------- Post added at 04:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:49 PM ----------

Ordered! Guaranteed delivery tomorrow!
[Nexus 5 General] nyyankees1237:
Can someone confirm that T-Mobile sims work on the 32gig sprint version Amazon is selling?
[Nexus 5 General] LuBi:
Please take note if the box mentions the Sprint software lock or not. The lock does not exist on the 16GB but it mentions it all over, so it'd help identify this handset better. Sprint doesn't sell the 32GB yet so I'd bet this is just the same as the unlocked 32 from the PS.

They work in the 16GB, no reason to think they wouldn't work in this 32.. what ever it is.

* Edit - Decided to order one as we're waiting on our second from Google.. It changes to the 16GB in the cart. This is not the Droid you're looking for. :rolleyes:
[Nexus 5 General] shaqspaere:
hmm, in my order it's still showing up as the 32 GB, though if I click the link, it takes me to the page for the 16GB, saying there are only 7 left in stock.
[Nexus 5 General] LuBi:
I didn't want to double-post but a bit after I posted they changed the title to 16GB.. I assume it's coming and someone edited the 16GB page by accident? Either way sorry but I can only assume you purchased a 16GB. Amazon has great customer support so given the error on their part I'm sure they'll do everything to rectify the issue.
[Nexus 5 General] 1stx2:
Hmm mines still saying 32gb also.I just need a phone so I can leave verizon before next months billing period starts. Im so ready to dump them forever!

If it is 16gb, Its going back.

This phone is absolutely amazing.
[Nexus 5 General] shaqspaere:
Yep, I can confirm it's the 16 GB version. The Amazon Rep I'm chatting with is sending a prepaid label to return. No information on if or when a 32 GB model might be available from Amazon. Back to Plan A, wait for Google.:(
[Nexus 5 General] 1stx2:
Im going to keep mine and give it to my dad for his birthday next month and keep waiting for google to ship my 32gb.
[Nexus 5 General] shaqspaere:
I can't justify the extra $100 for the 16GB version. It was an acceptable price for the 32, but not for 16. But I can't tell you how badly I want to take the phone out of the box and play around with it before shipping it back.
[Nexus 5 General] 1stx2:
Yea, I know, I thought about that to. I can't believe how fluid everything is on this phone, its unbelievable. I got lucky with it tho, no dead pixels, screen is perfect, no loose buttons, build quality is perfect.
[Nexus 5 General] adma84:
I don't think it's that lucky. Remember that mostly those who have issues report them, not as much the people that are happy. Mine is perfect!
[Nexus 5 General] 1stx2:
Lol I feel luck because what I went through with the galaxy nexus. That was a horrible experience that I never want to go through again.
[Nexus 5 General] timtlm:
I would try to see if Amazon will at least give you some sort of refund or credit if you are willing to keep the 16gb. Amazon customer service is very good, and it can't hurt to ask. I could see them making an exception to match the play store since it was their fault and your inconvenience. I've had a lot of success with Amazon customer service chat.
[Nexus 5 General] shaqspaere:
Damn, I wish I had thought of that before I made arrangements to return the device. I'd consider keeping it at the Play Store price.
[Nexus 5 General] timtlm:
Just heard back from a friend, and he was able to get $100 refund. The chat guy offered $10 credit, but he tried a phone call and got the $100 refund.
[Nexus 5 General] thfreedumb:
Always seems to be super lucky people ha. Any one else get a hundred dollar credit?
[Nexus 5 General] shaqspaere:
Well, I decided to go ahead and look into it. The guy on the phone offered a $50 refund. I'm considering calling back and trying for the $100, cause he actually said the credit brings it in line with the Play Store price, but I wasn't thinking that the 16 is actually $349.
[Nexus 5 General] thfreedumb:
If someone got the 16 but doesn't want it. Ill buy it off you. Assuming you get the amazon credit + any shipping.

I knew it was wrong but should have ordered anyways
[Nexus 5 General] shaqspaere:
Those guys at Amazon are awesome. They gave me the extra $50 refund, bringing the total cost of the phone down to $349 + Prime overnight shipping.

I opened the phone up, plugged it in to get it charging, and went to the Play store to cancel my order for the 32 GB. Wouldn't you know the window has passed. So now I have a second Nexus on it's way. I wish I had waited to open the 16 GB. It's gotta be worth more unopened. What to do.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eefo:
I've searched before posting this topic and even found one thread with the same topic, but unfortunately didn't get the desired answer as the member who opened that thread didn't replied back.

So, i have received my RMA device but now the problem i am facing is i dont have the original charger of my device, so shall i send my device only with their label OR do i have to order one original and then send it back?

Has anyone else send their device without charger ???

This is my actual question :/
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eefo:
No one ????:/
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] filthykid:
I am EXACTLY in the same boat. My relative forgot the charger when went travelling. Now he needs to RMA as netiher the camera is working nor phone's signals.

But tell me this, firstly how did you get the RMA, as in they must have hold up the amount, right? so if you dont send it back, they will deduct the amount from your account.

Moreover, i heard Google exhausted their complete N4 inventory, then how come they are sending RMAs? Is Google having a separate RMA stock of N4s?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eefo:
Okay, the problem with my phone is its charging port, so i simply called them and mentioned the issue and they've explained the procedure.

Took money out and send me the replacement device

Now i have 21 days(19 left) to send my device to them, thats why i am kinda in a hurry to know if they'll accept it without the charger or not :/
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eefo:
Well i guess no one had the same issue as mine, so I'm about to order the charger and then I'll send it back.

So i request the admins to please CLOSE THIS THREAD.
