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.

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

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

[Q] Nexus 5 at Best Buy

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.

[Q] Where can I buy Nexus 5 in Orlando?

Hello friends.
A friend of mine is going to spend a week in Orlando in the U.S., would like to know where he can buy a Nexus 5 to bring to Brazil. Thank you.

Hey, what's up? I live in the Tampa area. I know that T-mobile sells the Nexus 5 over here, but they sell it for like $100.00 more than Google sells it. I heard Google has White 32gb Nexus 5's available with 1-2 day shipping. Good luck....

Bestbuy and Sprint stores have it as well. It doesn't matter which store you buy it from, there's no difference.
Like "dave2metz" mentioned, these stores charge $449 for the phone vs. $349 in the Google Play Store.
I live in Orlando, let me know if you need any help.

[Q] Where can I buy a Nexus 5 in the US?

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
