Nexus 5 availability on Amazon?

for all of us who cant get it via the play store , when can we expect it to be for sale on amazon? :fingers-crossed:

Well considering the Nexus 4 wasn't even available for sale on Amazon until a few months ago, your chances are slim. Plus on amazon it's individual sellers with large markups. You could try eBay, but again, there might be mark ups.
The best option right now is to go to Sprint when they have it on November 8th, and ask if they can sell you one off contract, and if it's GSM unlocked or not. Otherwise, T-Mobile will have it unlocked off contract also, but there's no pricing or release date as of right now. T-Mobile does have a email sign up for alerts when it's available.
Keep an eye on the Play store the next few days too. There's small chance more will come in stock, but most likely they'll sell out within minutes.

At the end of the official blog post, Google states that it will be available and other retailers, including amazon in time for the holiday season. So I expect 2-3 weeks max.

Ah sorry, I didn't realize they had posted that information. I was expecting it'd be the same as last year.

So do you think it would be worth waiting for seen as im from ireland ?

There's a host of information available here: http://www.reddit.com/r/Nexus5/comments/1pmrrr/nexus_5_amazon_release_monitoring_cooperative/

Do you know when B+M stores like BestBuy will have them in stock? thanks

I'm wondering this as well.... Also if I should get the 16gb or 32gb hmmm. Going to sell my HTC ONE towards it

Thanks for that link. Seriously considering canceling my play store order; probably going to wait and see for now. I'm on an LG Optimus L9 and it's kind of crappy but if I can get the phone for almost $50 less on Amazon if I wait a couple of weeks, that's what I'm going to do.
I just wonder if getting warranty replacements is easier if you purchased the device through Google directly as opposed to a third party.

On Amazon now... wouldn't recommend it though
http://www.amazon.com/Nexus-Lg-5-16...=1383275736&sr=8-11&keywords=nexus+5+unlocked

Yea, not sold by Amazon though. I think that's probably what most people are waiting on.
I have one ordered through Google Play, but I might cancel to get one from Amazon because I have Prime, and I have a lot of Amazon GC's. Didn't see that they would have it until after I placed the order. So I hope they start selling it soon.

Quick thing everyone, I know T-mobile and Sprint will get the phone but I don't think it will be cheaper because T-mobile sells the N4 for roughly $430 but Google was selling it for $300-$350, and if you wait to get it on Amazon it'll most likely be around the same price because the Nexus 7 is the same price on Amazon as it is on Google play, but if you have prime you can probably get the free 2 day shipping which is nice.

Have they just not received any stock? or do they keep selling out? If they keep selling out I am sure there is someway to wait list yourself for the next shipment. I think they are just running low inventories for some reason even amazon is showing out of stock.

Your better off trying a sprint or AT&T store...

Has anyone had any luck ordering one online from Best Buy or even directly from Samsung?

Best buy mobile has them as well. But amazon has them... watch out tho they randomly like to charge a little more than asking price. Its shipped by Amazon (prime) but sold by 3rd party.

the att stores should have them...

I got mine from AT&T. Amazon Prime is your best bet.

My black neo came from best buy online sight unseen.

I work for samsung at best buy. Most stores have not received any. Nobody is happy about it. I can confirm that all stores at least in Fort Worth Texas area will have them friday and best i can tell will at least get 8 so i would still get there early.

According to their online search, none of the stores in the DFW Metroplex have them in stock.

I ordered mine from amazon on the 12th and still waiting for a estimated delivery date.

Best buy online
I just ordered mine from bestbuy.com Should be delivered tomorrow (extra $14.00 for shipping)

I was browsing amazon looking to see if any were in stock the metallic orange said in stock cancelled the silver/black and ordered it says estimated delivery date of 4-22 as soon as i placed the order though i went back a few mins laters says out of stock on the metallic/orange so im not counting on it to be here the 22nd

I pre-ordered about 2 weeks ago with AT&T and they had shipping dates of April 8, but then the Gold/Browns were all delayed until April 30. Try a black if you want to get it quicker, but I have black Galaxy Gear 1 and want new color.

Well my delimma is, I was originally going to order the black/silver from at&t. went to the website had everything ready hit the order button and it errored out said I can't because there isn't any service for my zip code. Must be because I live in the middle of no where

At&t is running a promotion if you order 3 accessories you get 25% off. The watch is included. I already had mine but got the difference refunded from bestbuy because of this. Either way go to https://www.att.com/shop/wireless/accessories/accessorieslist.html Order the watch you want and two $5 items and you will get the watch for $225. It works so even if they are slow to get back in stock it's worth the $75 savings. Otherwise keep checking at BB and show tjis website and they should price match.:good:

[Q] UK version

Has this device got a planned UK release date at all? I cant find any info about when I would be able to walk into a brick and mortar shop and pick one up. It was announced 2-3 months ago, reviewed a month ago and still nothing. Its ridiculous. Same with the htc desire 820. Its like they are phantom phones. No info on expansys, cw or simplyelectronics websites. All a bit worrying.
Anyone know anything about a UK release?

Dude that is crazy. I am using the European model with 2gb and came from a z2 with 3gb and this is faster. The chinese model is problematic for UK users but if you prefer more numbers then pay extra. I paid £355 for mine and its best phone to date. I have owned loads or I would not be on xda

32gb on ebay for £419.99
guys in UK, if you want the 32gb, there is some from HongKong selling 5 on eBay
£419.99 for 1

Moto X Pure 32GB on sale for $349 on Amazon USA

Anyone who is on the fence about buying this phone, Amazon is selling the 32GB model for $349.99 with free Prime 2 day shipping.
http://www.amazon.com/Moto-Unlocked...459972230&sr=1-4&keywords=moto+x+pure+edition

Nice price. I paid 450 +tax shipping and handling.

If I were sitting on the fence, I'd probably jump in the opposite direction and get a Nexus 5x. Not a great deal of development going on for this device and you only have to look here on XDA to see that. Even more surprising that Motorola only appear to have released Android 6.0 for the device unless you live in Asia for some strange reason. I would have expected at least 6.01 to have been available by now for the rest of the world, especially when you consider that with a Nexus device you could be running Android 7 already.

A word of warning for T-Mobile/MetroPCS/MVNO* users: VOLTE has audio jitter that makes calls unbearable. The only known solution is to disable VOLTE. By doing this you loose band 12 LTE. This will affect your cell coverage in buildings and in the country. Moto has been aware of this for a while now and has no solution or ETA thus far.

I just ordered a Moto X Pure 32GB Adler Edition on the Motorola website for $299.99. Besides the ugly design (that I plan to cover up with a DBrand skin), are there any differences, at all, between the regular version and the Adler version? Thanks.

Aus vodafone sold it for 300 AUD

I got mine on Swappa for $325, mint condition 64gb even lol

I got 16GB with 32GB SD Card at Best Buy Deal Of The Day for $235. It sold well so may be back again soon as Deal Of The Day

I payed 244$ for an 64gb open box one on B%H on that sale they had with sdcard included the other day, not bad at all, mine did not include an sdcard of course.

Out of the blue someone on the street just handed me one. Zero dollars. J/K...

Yep. Picked mine up today at Best buy for the same price. Jumped for the 32 gb version for stress-free app installs and I'll be throwing in a 64gb SD card tomorrow.
This phone really has a lot going for it at the current price. I was going to get the Oneplus 3 but reading about LTE connection issues on att I passed.

300 for plain black 64gb a week ago from moto store. 50 bucks extra for moto sport watch edition 2. Passed on it. Im on Verizon. Would have waited for the Z but it will be locked down tigher than............. and the unlocked version is only GSM. those bastards. I love 1 full day 4 1/2 hours screen time.

Just a heads up guys, this phone is $250 on amazon for Prime Day. IF you have prime, you get free 2-day shipping and a phone for $250 for the 32GB version. You can do White, White and Bamboo, or Black (black is out of stock so it'll take a few weeks)

Anyone receive their 512GB Micro SD Card from Samsung?

Did they ship it with the phone or separate?

You order it after you bought the phone.
Lähetetty minun SM-N960F laitteesta Tapatalkilla

To receive the card, you're supposed to open the Samsung Members app on your new phone and click the offer banner once it shows up (often takes up to three days). You should have been informed about this when you purchased your phone.

Do you have to buy from Samsung to get it?

What is the Samsung Members app?
I'm just wondering if anyone received it from Samsung yet?

I'm totally lost. Is this a new deal? Is it free? Can't seem to find an answer by Googling it.

Same here can't find any info on the offer

The offer could be for specific market area. For example, here the small print says "in effect in Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark (Nordic Approved)". Each market area could have their own lures, depending on the market/sales situation, etc.
AFAIK, that "Samsung Members" app does about the same as "Samsung+" app (the latter is only for US). A good example about how a "global" company does not really understand what "global" means for customers.

This was a couple of weeks ago. Samsung was selling the 512GB card for $49.00 with the purchase of a new Note 9. A week later they were giving the 512GB card for free with the purchase of the Note 9.
I believe these deals are dead now. Seen a couple of people saying they receive a pack of 10 of the 512GB cards when they received their card from this promo.
Just wanted to hear from people that actually received the card from Samsung.

Over here the campaign continues to the end of the year. But, I can't give feedback on receiving a card, as I bought my phone one month before the campaign even started (tough luck for me).

The American one was a few weeks ago and I believe it's history now.
That one guy that says he received 10 of them from Samsung might be legit. I heard to same thing from another seller on eBay saying he also received 10 when he ordered the promo from Samsung with the phone.

I just wrote to guy at tweeter that is PR from Samsung about this promo in Poland, i would gladly buy 512 GB card just to spare memory of phone and for storage more loseless music but 512GB card is very expensive, as was phone So - fingers crossed for this action. Maybe with little bit of luck - here in Poland - i can also get one card for free?
//edit:
PR from Samsung told me at tweeter that he dont know at what prices and conditions phones was sold at Finland or Norway so he cant tell why in Poland there was no such promotion. So as far as i know this is just very polite way to say "fk you" to all customers who pay sht load amount of cash for their phone. I bought mine (512GB version) in promotion for about $1150 / 1k EUR and this is a lot. I dont know what what they are thinking but im really disappointed. Normally 512GB version now you can buy from Samsung store for 1 256 euro or $1 437. Well...

Typical normal customer prices have been around 1030€ (128GB) and 1300€ (512GB), with pretty much no normal/significant discount campaigns so far; most campaigns have been offering something additional instead of price reduction.
The conditions for getting that campaign are (out of memory) about having to be bought during the campaign, in Nordic countries (and probably also taken into use in those countries), create/have a Samsung account, using the Samsung Members app (i.e. one has to register that account on the phone, too), and can not be combined with other campaigns/discounts.
As I mentioned earlier, the campaigns are likely "market" specific (just like the prices and models are), and are made up and run by Samsung as they see fit in each area. E.g. if they had too much stock of NEE model, put up a nordic campaign for a month, problem solved. Or something like that.
