[Q] Will Carphone Warehouse be selling this sim-free? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

HI
Just wondering as I want one NOW! I have ordered my Nexus 5 from the PS but won't get it until the end of next week at the earliest. Would love to have one tomorrow but don't want the hassle of a contract.

£295 are you sure?

hey man
I went into a branch of glasgow and she told me that they were under strict instructions not to sell the nexus 5 sim free for at least a week - head office have not activated the sim free barcode on the till to enforce the rule.
she wouldnt give me a shot even tho it had officially launched on play store. she was all like, "not until it launches" and im like LADY PLEASE hahaha

Phoned Carphone Warehouse. 16gb £295 with next day delivery. Sounds excellent - You get it way before PS delivers
They don't have 32gb and don't know when they will have. So I will wait for mine from the PS.

Rumor is now going around that BB is shipping their 200k units back to HP. Guess I'll find out in the morning if I can find one anywhere (although there are plenty of other stores that could have it).
Does anyone know if Netflix is on this (homebrew/exploit/etc.) this would a partial dealbreaker (although I already bought it)?
Check PC Richard N Son.
office depot for 129.99
I just bought one at office Depot. I hope they will price match for the 99 dollars. I better not get screwed on a device I never thought about buying until it was practically free. If android gets on this thing I'd be ok with the 130 price tag.
Does anyone have any experience with office Depot? I usually just use amazon but it's sold out there.

walmart has it listed at $99 for 16gb unit and $149 for 32gb unit. Online stocks are sold out, but you can site to store if a store in your area has one.
I just went to BB in Vegas and was told they are sending them all in to HP.
So I called office depot and everyone is sold out in Vegas. Bit should get shipments in Monday before opening.

Spent about 5 + hours instores in SoCal to score one. Zilch.
Walmart: Went to 2 separate stores. First store mentions having two items which sold Friday night. Second store, none in stock. Manager says something about HP instructing corporate to ship all stock back to HP.
Office Depot: 2 stores. Both sold out by 10 am (Sat). Manager in one store confirms no chance of restock.
Staples: Sold out in 2 stores by 9 am.
Best Buy: 2 stores both displaying signs of item being sold out.
Costco: 2 stores. Again one store manager confirms receiving email last night from Costco corporate to send all stock back to HP.
The less said about my online buying tries the better.
Got mine at bestbuy $100. Bestbuy was going to send inventory back, but at the end hp decide to just sell what was left

just got mine at bestbuy in website tx. they said Sunday they are getting a pallet in. Good luck
I wouldn't get in a panic about this. HP has a million of these units to dump, so they are going to end up somewhere - and for cheap. It's just that right now confusion reigns. It will all get sorted out.

i'm friends with several at the mobile department, if it can be done they'll do it. if not, i'll wait until they have it in stock, return mine to at&t, and buy it there. i like black tie that much...although i've yet to use it.
I'm wondering if they'll price match radio shack at $49.99. I'm hoping they will of course. I used to work at Best Buy, so I hopefully may be able to convince a BB Mobile employee to price match.

No they can't price match online prices, only if a local store has that price and it's in stock

Right, I understand that. I guess I wasn't aware that the Radio Shack price was online only.

I also went to a best buy in stl and I ask the best buy employee, so when's the htc one x coming out?! I think it's going to be another month atleast. And that was Sunday he said this. Lol the store I went into was a best buy mobile store ONLY! But didn't know they would price match or I would of gone with them.
Still no word on the BB price? They usually are the cheapest around. I guess either way I could price match to $150, but I'd be surprised if they didn't already beat it.
I believe from when I did my pre order that their price is 200 for a upgrade. It should be the same price as ATT maybe as low as 150.00.
I went with them as I signed up for that free 50 dollar gift card with a upgrade earlier this year so that on top of the fifty I used to pre order and some other gift cards means I will be paying about 75 for it.
As for the info I would wager that they will send out a official email around Friday saying it will be ready for pick up on Sunday. That is what happened with my Galaxy Note I had on pre order.

Which mall did you go too?

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.

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:

Note 5 shipment

Has anyone received their shipment yet or have tracking info. An online customer rep told me that stores might not have stock for 2 weeks after the 21st and that they are only doing pretty orders and they will ship out Friday even though the release date is the 21st.
out for delivery today.
I ordered this morning. No tracking yet, but it still says estimated delivery tomorrow.

Where did you see that?
I just added it to the cart and never got a back ordered warning?
Not like it matters for me - something is messed up in the TMOBILE Database and it shows I own my G3 and Nexus 6 for my line and won't allow me to upgrade online.
I have to go into the store and settle for what they have.
First time on a non pure android operating system - little worried.
T-Mobile's site typically says "back ordered" for pre-order devices since they're not officially in stock for sale until the release date. It said the same thing last year with the Note 4.
I did not have that problem at all I just ordered it and an hour later it was shipped I'll have it by tomorrow at lunch no problem

It was free.
I tried to get the shipping charges refunded in chat and he said they run free overnight promotions that are limited. He made a note on the account and instructed me to call the "telesales" team to see what they can do.
Walked into a Tmobile store last night and a hr later walked out with a white 32 gig. No shipping just gas money lol
