Probably not until after, since that might sway your opinions on things.
Of course, you will be reimbursed for any travel expenses

Sure i'll come I live in Canada though
my guess is either probably from HTC or Sony or some other less famous brands
it'll never be for LG or Motorola, those 2 don't care what customers thinks

I'd sign up, but I'm also from Canada, and I have a feeling your company would not be willing to reimburse me for the ridiculous traveling expenses.
Hopefully you get some local biters though.

i know its a brick from my sources at t-mobile but i dont care i wanna have it and explore it lol like havin a new car just gotta find out what it can do besides drive rite? ah well it should arrive the 22 of october hope it comes sooner
Well it won't come sooner... That's usually the point of a release date, so you know when it's coming. But yes, if I were with T-Mobile I'd love to buy one. I'm just going to wait around for the first AT&T phone with Android.

Who knows if they will get one though. Apple could have very well made a clause in the renewing of the AT&T exclusivity that the Android-OS not be sold by AT&T. Just a thought ..

Yea but they cant do that. At&t wouldn't have signed the contract then, less money for at&t and its "BAAD fooo bizzness!!"
Yeah I don't see that happening at all, AT&T is the one that pays big bucks to keep Apple exclusive, not the other way around.

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.

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)

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.
There are no sources here, but I heard in my local news channel that some guy smashed a UK cell phone store, What store is it? What are the latest in investigations?

The guy that was forbidden of buying one for being from Nigeria or something should have done that.
I just observed used Nexus 5 being sold for about $35 less than new within countries which have plenty of stock. Is this the "one born every minute" or something else?
example of used $350
and example of new $385
With OnePlus out in a few weeks for $349 plus unknown on tax and postage, and a few other low-priced unlocked handsets out there, I'm puzzled why Nexus 5 is holding its used price, and its coming under attack on its new price.
Because it's a great phone. Oneplus one may be too big for some. Plus it's a true developers phone. No one knows what the oneplus one sources / blobs for drivers will be like...

I avoid devices for a couple of months to let bugs discovered and resolved.
But that wasn't my question, i don't understand why someone would buy used for 90% of new? It's not like stock is hard to get new.

its new price is fairly cheap, and its used price is competitive with other phones because its as good as or better than the other phones.

90% is cheaper than 100%. Not everyone is as fortunate as you to be able to pay 100%
"but it's only $35"
Someone could feed themselves for a week on that. Don't make the mistake of confusing being frugal with being dumb, or that everyone is the same as you

If they're starving they can do with a cheaper Nexus 4 for months.
Warranty is part of frugality, if my new N5 breaks I got some postage costs probably, but I'm less exposed financially than I am with used.
Well luckily for them, it's not your decision what they do with their money
Some people don't care about warranty. Some people know how to use warranty. It's not a problem for them, it's not a problem for you so don't worry yourself about people being "dumb". If you're asking "why isn't everyone like me?", well that's a philosophical question, probably better angled towards facebook

Because the phone is worth a lot more than $350 to most people. Similar phones cost $700 and the Oneplus isn't even being sold really.
Also countries that don't have the Play Store devices, their only choice is to buy them second hand and they are willing to pay as much as the retail cost.
One word answer: demand.

I agree plus we don't know the potential scare story inside the OnePlus for at least month, it needs bulk ownership first from those who have another device already as their main phone.

Those living in other countries buy our used phones. $350 for a used N5 is still half the price they would pay for a new phone in their country.
Anyone living in North America can buy the phone for $350 new and have no incentive to buy it used for that price.

What makes you think people in the US are buying them used for more than they cost new? I would just assume they are all out of seas, but there is no real way of telling. Or is there?
If they are, they must not realize they can buy it new for the same price from Google. Or perhaps they are attempting a scam of some sort.

The example I gave, don't know for sure who bought but a "I will buy it" message from someone saying in they are USA, and this after I had pointed out 10% more gets new offer. I'm just puzzled, doesn't make sense.

Even in the USA, sometimes it takes a while to get. And beyond that, it's still cheaper than any other alternatives, and some people prefer it to be cheaper. If it's 10% cheaper than retail, then that's still 10% they save.

Right...being that there may not be a Nexus 6, people are probably snapping these up now because they become a collector's item and a rare commodity.
Craigslist in my area has them going mint for 250 to 325
