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.

And not have to pay sales tax in most states
So, the press release says that Best Buy will sell the Nexus 5. I cannot find it on their website yet, and I have called 3 different stores in 2 different states (I am on vacation). After talking with 3 different people, they keep telling me they will not be selling it. One person told me that T-Mobile was the only store that was going to stock the Nexus 5 in retail. This was after putting me on hold to talk with the Mobile Phones Sales Manager. Apparently, no one at these stores is aware of the release. I wanted to see if anyone had an idea of when it may be available at a Best Buy store?
Nexus 5 will be available soon at the following retailers: Sprint, T-Mobile, Amazon, Best Buy and RadioShack.
Source: http://googleblog.blogspot.com/
There's no official date anywhere.
Thanks.
Was really hoping the N5 would be available from amazon at launch, so I could take advantage of Prime. Ordered it from the Play Store, it already shipped tonight. Fast enough for me, cant wait to get this phone!
Bought at Google Play Spain.349 Euros.Delivery before day 8.

Someone posted at the "Let's fool Best Buy" thread that they were only selling Sprint versions on a 2-year contract
Hi everyone!
Well, I'm from Brazil and got a friend who is going to USA next weeks. So I wanted to buy a Nexus 5 from there, because here it's so expensive.
If I bought it from here, would cost at least $800!
He is going to Miami. So I wanted to ask you americans where can I buy it? From Google Play, it costs $399, but will be delivered only 3-4 weeks; he won't be there anymore :/
Is there any other local store from Shere he can buy it? T-Mobile, Verizon, Sprint? Bestbuy, Amazon, or other store? Could you show me prices?
Other question, the Nexus 5 from USA is not compatible with band 7 (LTE), right?
Thank you all so much, and sorry for my bad english
Yes, the USA version does NOT support LTE band 7.
Frankly, unless you're in the USA, you shouldn't be buying the USA model. In addition, unless you're buying it from Google Play, you'll be paying more. No other store is charging the same price as Google Play.

Thank you for your quick response.
Here in my city, the LTE is not working yet, and I guess it only will work at the second half of 2014 :/ So this is not a big problem.
I can buy it at maximum of $450..

Best Buy, Sprint, and T-Mobile sell the 16GB Nexus for $450.
I'm living in Korea on Osan AFB. No phone stores inside the base sell the Nexus 5, not even the LG store. I was hoping to order one online, preferebly 32GB Red, and hopefully FROM korea so it doesnt take 2 months to get here. Anyone know where I can go about getting one?

Just asked for clarity, look here http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html/ref=hp_navbox_596184_tips?nodeId=596188 and/or send a mail to Amazon costumer service for more info and where to order the device best.

I 100% assure you that nothing takes THAT long to ship and the proof is the guy I've also quoted, although 3 days seems a little fast (maybe express shipping or something? ) Maybe there's a warehouse in Hong Kong or something. Who knows?

I don't know why it came from HK. I bought it the day it became available. Like you said, maybe a warehouse ... but the math speaks for itself...
HK > KR (Incheon) - 4 hrs
Incheon > my house - 1.5 hrs
Add some time for lunch breaks, customs, etc..
I was actually a little surprised it took 3 days. HK and KR are small and deliveries in both places usually take only a few hours from the time of dispatch to get to the intended location. If the item is in stock and it doesn't show up by the next afternoon people start to call.
PS.. Shipping was free

You can get them. This discussion is about how and how quickly. Osan AB and most posts in Korea aren't really "Korea". If you've lived on one you'll understand that.
Samsung, what does that have anything to do with Nexus 5?
And Google is, the last time I checked, an American company.
So China got the iPhone first? Because most of it is made by Foxconn.
Yes, LGE is a Korean company but I think you don't understand the way global trade works.
To the OP, try through the Korean Play store first. I have a Korean bank account and cc so it was easy for me. If not try connecting to Play via a VPN. See if you can have it delivered to an APO FPO or DPO.

Did you buy it off of English Play store? It takes 3 - 4 weeks there anyways. I can't really find one online anywhere that would send from over here. I can buy a black one and get a skin for it so that wouldn't matter either.

I live in Korea. I bought mine from the Korean Play store. I used my Korean CC. It was delivered to my home in Korea.
So to answer the question, where do you get a Nexus 5 in Korea?
The Korean Play Store.
When you live on Osan AB or any other post in Korea, you don't actually live in Korea. You live in US territory. The Korean Play store only ships to Korea.
You will probably not find it at a KT, SKT or LGE store for the same reasons you don't find Samsung in an Apple store. Granted it's manufactured by LGE, it is a Google phone.

Thanks for the info, i'll try to see if I can find a VPN or proxy to connect to korean playstore. But my problem is, I can't find a VPN via desktop that can connect to Korean play store.
But Osan is not just US territory. It's join force, we have korean territory also. We have to follow all korean laws on base as they do to US laws.

T-Mobile sells only a single SIM variant. It's the 8gb/256gb version.
AT&T and Verizon sells OnePlus 7 pro's... Since when? I thought it was tmobo exclusive. He said purchase not activate.

In the US shipping is within 24hrs so depends on the shipping option you choose, around 3 to 5 business days, keep in mind 4th of July is coming up so it may be an extra day or two for shipping.
