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.

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
Hello, pretty rudimentary question, but: I am interested in getting a Nexus 5 because I hear the Nexus line gives you the least trouble among Android phones for installing custom ROMs and doing rooting and such. I am trying to decide whether to buy from Google vs from T-Mobile (my current carrier). Google has the phones available but says they take three weeks to ship. T-mobile sent me an email saying they now have them available; when I called them they said they had already sold out and so could not give me a price, but when in stock again they *might* be able to offer me a discount compared to Google's wholesale price.
Here's my question: T-mobile did say that if I ordered from them, the phone would be carrier-locked. They said they had the ability to unlock the phone "free of charge" (wondering if there's a catch there…). I honestly do not care if the phone is carrier-locked or not, but like I said I specifically am getting this phone in order to minimize nonsense when installing custom ROMs or OSes other than Android. Will buying a "locked" phone, or in general buying a phone from T-mobile rather than direct from Google, create any obstacles to mucking about with the phone's software? Is there some "correct" way to order the Nexus 5 (I know with HTC you have to order a special "developer version" from a separate page) other than just the Play link on the google.com/nexus5 page?
Thanks
I've been a long standing T-Mobile customer for years now. I had NO problems when I purchased my Nexus 5 from Google Play (was one of the first lucky ones). All you do is put your SIM card in the phone before you power it up. Its the new small (micro) SIM cards. I never needed to have my phone unlocked.
Don't you let anyone fool you on thinking its a different phone if you purchase it through T-Mobile instead of the Play Store. It's the same phone.

Difference is it will be about 100 more if you get it from tmo

It didn't take weeks to ship maybe two weeks for the black version. I ordered my nexus 5 November 13 and had it in my hands the 15th. Order the white 32gig if you want it fast. Otherwise pay 100$ for the same exact phone though T-Mobile.

Hah!
When I talked to T-mobile on the phone, one of the reps said they could probably get me a discount if I ordered through them, and the other one said it might cost more…
Maybe I'll just go ahead and order rather than wait around just to get a price that might well be higher anyway. Thanks y'all

Hi!, dunno if this is the correct forum but I figured it was either here on in the general Nexus 5 so hope it's right .
I'm in Argentina and will be spending 10 days in NYC during the second part of January. I want to buy a N5 but I'm not sure where to do it since they are way too overpriced in both Amazon and ebay and I can't buy them directly from the play store because it's blocked from my country and I'm not sure what the shipping times would be in case I manage to order it from there once I'm in the US (some friends told me that to buy through the US play store you need a US credit card too).
I know there are some retailers that sell it but do they sell it unlocked or only with contracts with carriers?. Any other options to try to buy one?.
Thanks!.
Check out Best Buy!
Yeah, I checked there and it only has the 16GBs model and ~$150 more expensive than the play store (and even more expensive than the 32GBs version in Amazon which is at around $450).
I think bestbuy just sells sprint version.its locked

Well any store you buy it in is going to have it marked up from the Play Store because that's just how the US is. It sucks, but yeah.
You should find a broker willing to ship it to you from the US. Meaning: you give them money, they buy the phone, they get the phone, they ship the phone to you. Simple!

No, it is NOT locked.
You can buy the unlock version in Best Buy but according to their website they only have the 16GBs version.
All nexus 5s are the same they're all unlocked for use

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:
