Hi I'm wondering if any of you guys know if any shops (highstreet ones) like carphone warehouse will be selling the nexus 5? Only I'm not sure what do do if I was to receive a faulty phone out of The box.
Right ok so as far as i know CW sold the nexus 4 after it launched and so did o2(Im not sure about other carriers) so hopefully it will be the same this time around but it might take a week or two for stores to get them in stock if google doesn't give much time between the announcement and the release and in terms of what if it is faulty you are covered by the Sales of goods act in the uk so it should be a case of just going into the store and getting a replacement
I will probably have to buy mine from CW since i don't have a debt card that the play store accepts but im only doing this if they can match the play stores price which they will probably not

More then likely but remember, when the nexus 4 came out it was £239 for the 8gb and £279 for the 16gb, i saw the 16gb go for over £400 in stores.
if the nexus 5 is £299 it will more then likely go for £500 + in store

i just want to know what i can get without having to order it online.
thank you

You can go to 3 different stores, and all 3 different stores will have a different level of what they stock. So, no way to tell, unless you go, really.

No most likely not. You can always call up and ask, but I bet money that they will have nothing specific to the N4, but maybe some "universal" cases that may fit.
You should just call the store and ask.
Last time I spoke to someone at a B&M store, they indicated they had no idea when any accessories would come in.
This has been asked many times. No one has found a TMo store that carries N4 accessories.
My question is if i buy a Nexus 5 from eBay Or Craigslist will the phone be cover by Google even though the phone was purchased by some one else warranty ? I want to buy it from the play store but i don't want to wait 3 weeks..
You're better off preordering it than taking your chances or paying an inflated price. There's a pretty good chance you'll receive it before the ship date, as well. Mine was a "ships by 11/8" and shipped on the 3rd.
I wouldn't risk it to be honest. I did that with my s4 and instantly regretted the decision.
Only buy from reputable stores. I've learned my lesson.

Legally, you have no warranty if bought from a third party. Will some manufacturers still honor it? Sometimes, but you can not compel them to do so if they choose not to.
I want to buy the Nexus 5, but because of a long and complex story the money to buy this phone is half in cash and half on a debit card. Because of this, I can't buy the phone online, so I'm trying to find out if any brick and mortar stores sell this phone?
I called best buy but they said they it's 650-700$ at their store (instead of 350$ for the 16GB google play version) due to the fact that they're tied to either ATT or Sprint carriers. Can you not buy the phone anywhere? Even looking at craigslist the cheapest I can find it for is 450. Whats up with this?
buy it from tmobile. its going to be abotu $450 if i remember right tho.
why not take the cash and your debit card and get a prepaid one for the total amount?
Best buy price matches the play stores price if u show proof of the price. Plus u don't have to pay shipping and handling only taxes
Team Nexus 5 sucks

It's weird they gave me such a ridiculously high quote. Even their website says 'replacement phone' selling for 450, which is still under ther 650-700 quote they gave me over the phone. Maybe I just need to go drive to the store and talk to them in person. Thanks for the info guys, greatly appreciated
If you are looking for a used one take a look at Swappa as well. They have a lot listed there and new ones are added frequently. The ones that are listed cheaper sell quickly.
I remember when I bought my chromecast at best buy they were charging like 450 for a 16gb model I about crapped my pants its like who would pay this? Especially since I consider the nexus line a "niche" the customer base is well educated.

Hi,
My girlfriend recently got a Nexus 5 on a $50/month plan to replace her Samsung Galaxy Note 2 where she broke the LCD screen for the second time. I helped her look for a more solid phone case and ordered a Ballistic shell gel case for $30. Unfortunately she dropped her Nexus 5 yesterday before the case arrived, and now she's very distraught that she dropped her shiny new phone. Fortunately only the plastic got damaged, but to her the phone is not the same anymore.
I've read that you have to replace the LCD if you want to replace the plastic case, which is obviously not worth the cost. Maybe instead she can sell the phone on Ebay and get a new one to use with her plan from the Google Play store? For some reason I'm not quite seeing myself, the Nexus 5 is selling for pretty high prices on Ebay, so maybe she can replace her nexus 5 at a reasonable cost.
Please advise
sell the N5 and get her a smaller phone , obviously she can't handle big ones
It won't sell for a high price cause it's retail price is already low.

When I go on Ebay I see many offers where people are bidding $300 for a used Nexus 5 with 16 GB, it makes me wonder...
Bidders are probably from countries that can't get the phone officially.

Just put a case on it and you'll never know the plastic got damaged.

Depending how bad it is, you'll probably still get a few hundred dollars for it. Buy another one from Google or Swappa, and make sure to get it in a case before she even touches it.
Sell the phone in India and you will actually get more price for it than what you paid :laugh:
Here it's being sold for Rs.33000 ($550)... So You can put it up for $400-450 or something and also get the carrier lock removed by a local shop,,,

None of the GSM Nexus handsets were ever locked.

I agree with the first reply (get her a smaller phone), get her a moto g or something. I can understand Note 2 since its really big, but nexus 5? What the hell is she doing with her phone? Ebay and swappa are both useless if you ask me, post it on your facebook or something and try to sell it to someone you know.
I'd recommend sticking the Nexus 5 on eBay, you'll get a decent amount for it and you can replace it with a smaller device which is less likely to be dropped.
I purchased a Nexus 5 32GB mobile in November 2014 from Expedite Electronics. It has recently stopped charging via wireless charging and wired charging is occasionally temperamental. I contacted LG directly to enquire about a repair under warranty. They informed me that all 32GB Nexus 5 devices sold in the UK (regardless of who or where they were sold from) are not UK spec. I was told the particular one I have is a United Arab Emirates model. He then said that it's not a problem and that I was still covered under warranty but if the main board was found to be at fault and needed replacing then they would only be able to repair this with the 16GB model as this is the only UK spec version they offer.
I asked them what about 32GB devices sold through Amazon and Google Play and was told that they would have the same issue. I was also told that it wasn't specific for the Nexus 5 either and it was the same for the LG G2 and LG G3 devices as well.
It feels very wrong to me. Does this seem right to anyone else?
If they can't fix yours they have to give you another equal to what you've bought. In this case you should speak with Expedite Electronics and not with LG, at least here in Portugal it works like this.
When I had broken my Nexus 5 32 GB back in June (bought from French Play Store), they sent me refurbished unit. So yes, new phones are not available, but refurbished are, or at least were before one and half month.
If they can't repair the phone, I would ask for refund.
