Yes, from Amazon and PC World, and now the Google store within PC world, and soon one at Lakeside (no word on whether it will be Burberry patterned though)
Apple is suing...apparently they had a patent and this is too similar to an apple store...

I'm hoping that they're are going to expand on products and include the new Nexus, for example.
Anyone been yet?

Their opening one at Lakeside as well? Theyre not really in the hardware business yet but i think the acquisition of Motorola will spearhead this. So they'll probably end up selling the Nexus S, the Nexus prime and whatever else they decide to make in the next few years.

I wanna buy an iphone,but found this phone, which look the same as iphone，marked with pretty style，powerful function
and I was surprised to see that the price is too low，
Iphone4，or knockoff？
I believe its an imitation.. there are many of these in the market.

u may aswell buy it , anything is better than giving ur money to apple
Never buy imitations, always buy the original stuff
you WANT to buy an iphone? Are you running a fever?
We can't tell without an image or a link, but chances are if it's extremely cheap it's not real, and if it's isn't, DO NOT BUY IT. All those crappy clones are basically poor constructed dumbphones with the *appearance* of a smart phone. They're useless.

Only an Apple fan would refer to us as minions. I assume you own all three parts to Lord of the Rings and one day hope to be the highlander as well.

I wasn't sure if you were a Google or Microsoft fanboy (all fanboys are 'minions' in my book), had to improvise.
Also, LOTR is ****e.
Not a fanboy to anything. Just not a media tool.

I was giving advice to the OP based on what *they* said *they* want.
You're the one discouraging them simply because of a brand.
is it true that there's a bug in nexus S phones that's why the price dropped tremendously ? , for real ?
Who told you, the wind?
If you want serious answers you should consider sharing your sources.

i just saw some articles over the internet
just google it if you're interested..coz i got only 2 post counts and am not allowed to share any links
i just wanna know if it does exists, before i buy one for myself
If what exists? A bug? All phones have bugs to varying degrees. You need to be more specific and detailed.

I have had my Nexus S for four days now and have to say that there are no bug's that I have found on it, so unless you can say just what kind of bug, say such as something doing a force close, then I do not think anyone will be able to give you a answer!!!!

DOH!!! Damn you.
BTW, if the price drop of the nexus has dropped to
320 British pounds sterling = 519.6160 US dollars
That's still a lot of money.
NYYFan325, had to thank you for the laugh
On a serious note I did read somewhere (too lazy to go find link) that the NS4G was being sold for $99 w/ 2 year contract. Thats a solid $100 less then Sprint stores.
You guys know how it works, they care more about the 2 yr contract extension than they care about the
price of the phone. Wirefly and amazon sell pretty cheap. You can get cheap prices at Sams club and Costco. Doesn't mean that the phone has a bug in it.
Sorry i forgot to mentioned the bug that am talking about..
have you guys heard of the "Reboot Bug" in google nexus S ?, i heard it just reboots the phone automatically,

That is a gingerbread bug. Not a hardware bug

Wish they would have done that for my EVO, buggiest phone I've ever had!
The Nexus S, on the other hand, has not given me one hiccup after a month of use.
This could be huge. $12.5B and I imagine most of that is for their patents.
WSJ Article.

I guess we know who will be making the Nexus line from now on.
Edit: just read on Android Central that according to Andy Rubin the Nexus line will still be done the same way it is now, with different manufacturers bidding to be the device builder. Good news IMO.

Thats really too bad. Samsung has always been the better company for wireless. If that is the case, I was going to buy a Nexus but will now stick with the Samsung line of wireless.
Google "to buy" motorola mobility?
I thought they bought it already? I read an Engadget article on it this morning.
edit: nvm its a confirmed deal that their going to buy, they just haven't. Mistake on my fault.

The guy that was forbidden of buying one for being from Nigeria or something should have done that.
Google is starting to p*** me off more and more lately.
I use or should I say used to use an app called #Picasafolio to manage my #Picasa photos. It's a paid app but the best at what it does and is reasonably priced.
The dev has always been really responsive and usually has a resolution to any issues the same day. I was having some problems relating to the 4.4 update and downloading folders. Emailed the dev who chased down the issue and pushed an update to the play store. Updated last night but didn't try it till this morning. Had an issue where I couldn't login so contacted the dev who responded promptly with the following email:
'This is because Google has terminated the app for apparent violations of copyright. I've appealed but this looks like the end of my business.
Thanks,
Brian'
Checked the play store and sure enough a search reveals nothing. No explanation as to why the app is no longer there, nothing.
I feel angry on behalf of Brian who is a dedicated developer for the android market, no notice, no attempt to resolve the situation, just the app removed from the play store and an email.
I'm one of the lucky ones who are aware of what's happened but what about everyone else who purchased the app? This app has been in the store for a long time so the decision to pull it now seems ridiculous.
Surely as Google Play being a middleman then they have some responsibility to the buyer. After all if I purchased something on Amazon which later didn't work etc I could contact Amazon for a resolution.
There are still plenty of apps on the Play Store which perform similar functions so why remove this one.
I've purchased plenty of apps via the playstore but from now on unless I can get them through Amazon I will have to look for alternatives. I'm not spending money on something just for Google to decide they no longer like it or it no longer fits in the terms and conditions.
Still bloody annoyed with Goggle!!!!!

Yep. I have multiple devices with PIC backup so having something like this is essential to manage the auto backup folder. Since Google has blocked the OAuth the app is now useless.
Well suck me sideways..
This explains why I can't find it in Play store from my tablet..

Anybody know how to raise a complaint with Google about this?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4
Some good news! ?
I have republished the app on Google Play at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.snapwood.pfolio, addressing the most likely reason for the ban (app name). I have no assurance that Google won't ban this app as well, but as the rest of the app had been stable for at least a year, the app name was the likely reason.
I was able update the app on Amazon, so users there will be receiving an app update to fix the login issue once Amazon approves it.
For Google Play users that want to continue to receive updates or want to avoid the login workaround, please purchase the new app and send me the email address used to purchase the original app. I'll refund that prior order so everything comes out even in the end. I apologize for this mess.
Thanks,
Brian
