What do yall think the chance of the phone selling out once it is released on the play store?
Did past nexus phones sell out on the first day from the play store?

The Nexus 4 sold out before it was even released. :silly:
No, but yes.. it was sold out within minutes.

2012 Nexus 4 did. On the release day in November, was supposed to go on sale at 8am PDT, but really went live 15 minutes early. By the time people signed on at the top of the hour, stock was GONE. SOLD OUT. Weeks later came back, then disappeared just as quickly -- like in 30 minutes. Cat and mouse until January when supply stabilized.
The 2011 Gen3 Galaxy Nexus was not initially on Google Play, being added later months after release. It was called Google Market back then and was not as developed as it is now.
Expect most of us to not get this phone until the end of the year. Sad truth, but high demand and low supply is the reason.
it will sell out with in 5 minutes after the release. The demand is too high.

Although there have been hints that AMZ may carry it (and possibly others?) when released @ Play.
Another pointless thread. Either it will sell out or Google learned from the Nexus 4. Only time will tell. This is just stupid!

Amazon? really? hmm that's surprising. T-mobile will sell the nexus 5 but it will be over priced. I remember buying nexus 4 for $600 because it was sold out on google play.

Im simply trying to judge what people think based on past releases. I couldnt find any information from some quick searches on my phone about past releases, so I thought I would ask.

Nexus 4 release was a cluster****. I think Google learned its lesson, and I predict the Nexus 5 release to be smoother. Still, you'll want to be there to order it ASAP. Better safe than sorry.

NOT pointless, as sometimes history is your guide.
For instance, Google has never released a Nexus phone before November.
January (gen1)
December (gen2)
November (gen3)
November (gen4).
(Yes, January comes after November and December, just like New Year's comes after Christmas.)
The last two years Google has settled on October ANNOUNCEMENTS, followed by November RELEASE. Sure, they can change that, but until you get past January, the Nexus is NOT delayed. Or at least past November, if you are just looking at the last two years.
And knowing the history of the Nexus 4, you know to NOT believe Google's statement when it will go on sale. You know to get in early. The site may go live much earlier than stated.
And knowing how fast the Nexus 4 sold out, you know not to be disappointed if you don't get one right now.
So, it's all useful information.

But if Amazon, might be for CONTRACT phones, like with Sprint, AT&T -- not necessarily Amazon selling for Google. Amazon sells a lot of phones at discount, if you sign a contract with major carrier. They act as an agent for those carriers.

Possible, but they DO off-contract units too...I was hoping El Goog realised their own store is not up to task, and came to their senses! LOL!
Would really love it if Amazon sold it today. Being a Prime member it would be nice to know that I could get it tomorrow for $4. Not only that Google is going to charge me tax. Amazon most likely will not. I will secure one on the Play Store and then check Amazon. If it's there totally buying it there and cancelling the Play Store order.

Yes, Amazon sells the excellent Sony Xperia ZL C6506 off contract. It was Sony's compact version of the Xperia Z and could be considered Sony's version of a Nexus phone -- unlocked, quad core, 5", 1080p, 13MP camera, pentaband HSPA+ with multiple LTE bands. (The C6506 is the North America version.)
It was my back up choice if the Nexus 5 wasn't done right.
Comes in 3 colors. Still a good phone, but Sony needs to update it to Snapdragon 800.

Looks like someone had a Google Alert set for their fraudulent website since it is so obvious that you showed up and started your account the day this post was made. I would love it if I were wrong but we both know I'm not.
If you really want a 'real' fake phone (sensation this time) try:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HTC-Sensa...&otn=5&po=LVI&ps=63&clkid=6352481526793385279
At least the seller admits its a copy!
Crap specs as well, reminds me of the recent topgear episode with chinese cars that look like western cars but are competely crap, you'd think putting all that effort into something you'd either do it well or make it original?

As per title.... I asked Expansys USA to confirm which variant they would be selling and the office manager (Caroline Philipchuck) checked with their procurement and confirmed that the units are sourced from South America and are the Octa without LTE. Again, without LTE despite what it says on their website.
Release date?
I don't have LTE in my area and wont for years so I preordered this hoping it would be the Octa as stated. This morning I got an email saying they were shipping next week and to confirm my order for immedieate shipment. Thats when I contacted them to confirm which variant. Whether it actually ships then, got no idea.
I've just ordered mine after they confirmed (by chat) it has Exynos 5 Octa.
I'm from Europe and they use FR office to serve european customers, They will receive it in USA office next week so i think it will be shipped between 5/10 days.
I'm from the UK so will I be able to purchase it from the US site? And will it charge me import fee?

NewEgg get's most of their devices from Trinidad so they'll be Octa/HSPA too.

The current status says due May 4th
Here's a helpful hint about Expansys. Their online inventory isn't real time and fluctuates madly as do the availability and shipment dates. They only work business hours Monday through Friday and aren't particularly responsive to e-mails depending on the time of day they are received. I've ordered a bunch of stuff from them and they've always been reliable (dates and time aside) and easy to work with as I had a couple of returns/exchanges. So save yourself a lot of head banging based on expected delivery; you'll get what you ordered but it's not always going to be on the timetable indicated.
Agree with Barry on them and have ordered there numberous times myself. Best to ignore their online status for anything and simply call or email. Once contact has been made they have always followed through for me. At first I thought they were kind of sketchy but they have an odd knack for pulling through despite the somewhat irregular service.
$775 though.....yeesh.

Not sure what LTA stands for, maybe LTE but in a different language? lol.
I dont know why people must have the octa version. The differences in performance is not that big. And neither is the battery. Games peforms better in snapdragon chispet and In daily use of both two phones, you wont see the difference at all. What important is the LTE and dev support. Believe me, i have a s3, the dev there pull their hair off when they try to develop roms for the s3.
And trust me, you dont want to have the octa chipset, in view of dev support. All the experienced exynos developers will not support the chipset anymore. It take 2 week to develop a good aosp rom for sony experia z and it take 16! month to develop the same thing for samsung s3, and it still buggy.
So why would you still buy the exynos chipset phone?
Sorry for my bad english btw
Dont care about the performance as phones have reached a level of performance that fully satisfies me, I'm in it for the batt life. No insult to the gents working on ASOP for whom I have nothing but props but I prefer touchwiz based roms for the time being meaning support isn't a concern for me. Nor do I care about LTE since my area isn't even on my carriers road map yet. I get a new phone at the most annually but ususally sooner so I'm going to try out the Octa and see how it goes. If the better battery plays out great, if not the next thing is always coming and the Octa becomes one more phone in a long succession phones that have gone on to their next owner. The long and the short of it is I lose nothing by giving the Octa a spin so I'm going to do just that.
definitely will not buy from Negr* anymore. Recall my painful exp last yr with S3

They are absolutely fine, before and after the sale. When new devices come out their slammed because they can show availability when they don't have any and people get frustrated with the delay(s). I've never heard anyone complain that they didn't get what they ordered (at some point) or that they in any way felt ripped-off. I'd suggest calling rather than e-mailing though if you need them because at times they can be slow to respond. Like I said before I've had to do some returns and exchanges and they were really accommodating.

Until they change the price, try to send you something else, say a release date before anyone else on the planet and then when unsurprisingly the stock doesn't arrive in time tell lies. Search Negri on the sgs3 forum if you want to read a story about how to make certain a whole bunch of people will never order from then again.

This is how they make money by boosting the shipping cost. I live in China I know how much they pay the phone and I know how much it cost to ship a phone. I shipped a guitar for 40$ in Montreal from Shanghai so 99$ for a phone makes no sense.
They are local to me. I wonder how much if i picked it up and pay cash.
Will I get LTE on AT&T with this one?
Isnt it best to wait for a Korean version? Dont they support both lte and octa core?

If the Korean Version did have octacore and support LTE it would be worth waiting for, as long as it wasn't 3-4 months down the line anyway.

I was tempted to order one myself but wanted confirmation that it was the I9500 and not the Snapdragon 600 I9505. So I sent him a message early this morning. As yet - no reply !!!
This doesn't inspire confidence in buying from him even though he has a very good seller rating. Also, as you say I can only see 1 positive feedback from someone who has purchased an S4 - yet he has sold over 1000.
I was prepared to order this morning but not now. Especially after reading your message and not getting a reply to my earlier question, I'm not sure what to do.
I hope you get yours and at least you're covered by eBays Buyer Protection should anything go wrong !!! Keep us posted.
He replied to a message I sent on saturday today. All I can think is that he has so many messages he can't get through them all
I'm hoping it comes tomorrow if he holds up to his one buisness day claim

Thanks for the update.
I contacted someone who had left positive feedback for purchasing an S4. I asked whether it was a genuine Octa I9500, you never know with alot of online retailers simply copy/pasting specs, and he confirmed that it was.
He also mentioned that the packaging was in spanish/portugese or something so looks like these might have been destined for South America maybe.
I got this reply..

I have just placed my order - it's working out about the same as buying the Snapdragon 600 version here in the UK, as long you don't get it hit by Customs that is !!! Hopefully, I get by the weekend at the latest otherwise I won't be a happy bunny
Yeah i agree, still no notification of shipping!
For what it matters, I did in the end buy from this guy. It arrived today. It's a latin america destined 9500 with the Octa as advertised. The thing left the manufacturing line only about a week ago. No problems in terms of tracking or shipping (Intl is FedEx, inside of the FedEx box it was wrapped in a UPS wrapper). Btw: European users: it comes with a US-power adapter, so probably you should order a Note 2 charger to go with it (works flawlessly).

I ordered it Friday and it arrived yesterday (from across the globe!) but it missed the daily courier truck so I got it only today.
In the end it was worth it because my country apparently doesn't give a crap about adding VAT to inbound packets and didn't ask me to pay nothing in addition, so I actually paid no taxes at all on it, i.e. 537€. (Plus shipping)
Just got off the line with Verizon, im on a launch day galaxy nexus and called to see if I could upgrade to a n3 and keep unlimited data.
I originally preordered under my month to month feature phone line and saw people able to keep unlimited.
I called and the rep Dawn said she personally owns a n2 and is upgrading, I did not pry, but she said "when they ship out on the 4th"
I asked and she confirmed multiple times that they are shipping on the 4th..
I have the whole call recorded, I just need to edit and upload.
So, I was able to upgrade the main line and confirm I could keep unlimited data.
The extra treat was her telling me multiple times that they are shipping on the 4th and us guys who preordered should get our devices
On the 5th.
Again, I have the proof on the recorded call and I will be posting a link shortly.
I can't vouche for honesty of the rep, she sounded informed and checked with supervisor multiple times...
Let's see how this plays out!

when did ATT charge your card before they shipped?
Omfg this gnex is so slow to edit this call!!!
Which would mean that I wouldn't get it until the 7th since I'm having it shipped to my office
That would still be (3) days earlier, which would still make me happy, but I can't say that it doesn't hurt to see other people on other carriers get theirs sooner even though Verizon announced pre-ordering first. #StupidFirstWorldProblems
Interesting...I wonder if stores will have it on the 4th...

Talked to a rep earlier about upgrading my shipping to overnight and she said maybe the 8 or 10

Oh for the love of all that is good! You should have picked a different title for the thread. People who are freaking psycho over a phone are gonna flame the hell out of you if it doesn't ship out on the 4th.
I personally enjoy reading what others are told and the rumors that may or may not be true. We could do a fantasy league for phone ship dates. Oh the passionate discussions.
Seriously, thanks for posting. I'm definitely ready to go get my new GN3. Crazy how my old phone suddenly seems like total crap and the only resolution is a GN3!
Went by my verizon corporate store after a deer tried to jump over my van and crashed into the back of it. Then a red wasp attacked me going down the road, after a panic stop the seat belt hung my shell holster. Didn't see it in the road and ran over it. Had to get another. Anyway they said the 11th for the N3 in store.

Who Ships on a Friday?
I don't hold anyone responsible for "leaked" info that doesn't actually come to fruition, I think we are all hearing different things (because no one really knows), and no one should get bent out of shape over a phone. I will miss my beloved GNEX. ALTHOUGH, WTF VZW? Who ships on a Friday? I really hope they meant arriving on the 4th. Anyway, I checked with the store I preordered mine at here in Seattle. They told me it was supposed to ship this week, in typical VZW fashion, they will be the last carrier to ship. The guys said they would update me with the shipping info when it ships. Waiting impatiently!
K- Heres some of the 45min call,

I listened to the .mp3 files, and yes, you're right. The rep did confirm the 4th. I hope she actually knows what she's talking about. The fact that the Verizon Galaxy S 4 released a week earlier than the pre-order date is encouraging.

I wondering if I heard right but she confirmed that you can go into Walmart or other retail like Best Buy and still keep your unlimited?
I preordered at Best Buy and again on the Verizon page when the glitch was open. If Best Buy calls me to pick up my phone before Verizon ships it out will I still be able to keep my unlimited if I go the Best Buy route?

... Is anybody here also feeling kind of 'meh' about the keyboard case? (granted, haven't seen it in person, so my opinion might change once I do).

Well, isn't a varying look something good?
I have hoped that Google would do something without bluetooth, but it looks a lot like this device has its own battery, gets connected via bluetooth (maybe automatically via NFC) and only comes in one layout ("ANSI" US. Because there are no people outside of murica.)
But maybe I'm wrong and it won't die in a day or two of usage -which would be nice - maybe it won't be complete and utter garbage.
Anyways, I'll order one, same goes for the N9, keep it for 12 days and send that sh*t back. Thanks EU for enforcing the right to return unsatisfactory products bought online. :good:
$120? That is beyond absurd. I'm sure someone else will swoop in with one for well under half that price. Google is pricing everything like they are Apple these days. Guess we'll have to start paying a Google tax now!

Google is really trying to kill what nexus once stood for! Maybe android silver is upon us with that nice shiney SILVER nexus 6 and a nice shiney SILVER alloy round the sides of the nexus 9
I was looking at the specs for the first time EVER!!! of a (apple) air 2 :crying: :crying:
WTF is going on........ I will order the nexus 9:good: but in future will seriously be looking elsewhere
My next phone will not be the Nexus 6. It will be the Oneplus 2! This company has the same values nexus once had. Very intresting time for the oneplus gang nice hole in the market.

Some people will, after all people are stupid enough to by an ipad for $900. I think it will sell, but no in any large volumes. I am buying the folio case because for $40 its not a bad deal and it looks nice.

daaaaamn... $177.... If looking hard enough and have some good luck, you may even find a Nexus 7 2013 for close to that price.
And paying such a high price for a keyboard that in my opinion looks kind of generic (like many you'd see in an Amazon search), I wonder what HTC is thinking or is really offering that justify the price, because if we go by looks, this keyboard ain't it.

Note that the Nexus Player is a mere $100.
Google hasn't conquered the living room yet, so they don't mind no profit in that area.

Google doesn't care much what we say or think. All they "care" about (in aggregate) is that we're buying them.

Please stop it with this "Google is betraying us"-nonsense. They are a company just like any other company that deploys market strategies to build a brand and to monetize afterwards, just like any other, and they can sell their products at the price they see fit. It is up to you to agree or not with your wallet. Google doesn't owe us anything. Geesh!

What people need to know is that this keyboard is a mechanical keyboard, much more quality than those iPad/Logitech keyboards, I also think it's still kinda overpriced but just so you know
