One of my friend is gonna return from the US for vacation on december 31st and I was hoping to get a nexus 5 via him.
So my question is when will be nexus 5 be available again?I know that its a silly question but I think you can predict the availability of the next stock by the pattern of the nexus 4 stock last year.
moreover im hearing alot of defects in nexus 5.do majority of the nexus 5 has this issue or its just a few unlucky ones?im saying this because i cant RMA it if it does have any defects.
your help is appreciated.
I think it would be difficult to predict stocking levels, even trying to base it on the Nexus 4. From what's been showing up on the order pages, I'd guess more stock will be coming mid- to late-November.
As far as defects go, remember that most people come to forums and complain. Far fewer come to say that everything's great. So issues that are really pretty isolated seem like they're much more widespread. That's no guarantee of getting a perfect unit, of course, but then again there's no consumer electronics device being sold today where you can likely get such a guarantee. They all have issues.

No. The article means that if you want to purchase a black N5 16 GB from the Play Store, you can't right now because its sold out. Previously, the Play store would allow you to purchase this particular variant of the phone but it would say that it wouldn't ship until anywhere from 2-5 weeks later. Now, it won't let you purchase that model at all because its still out of stock and Google presumably doesn't have an accurate estimate of when they will be receiving more stock. They will eventually have stock but they just don't know when. So that's what the article is referring to, that the phone has flip flopped between being available for purchase with a 2-5 week shipping delay vs not being able to be purchased at all (its current status). Please keep in mind that this only applies to the black 16 GB version. Other colors/configurations are available for purchase from the Play store but with delayed shipping several weeks later.

Anyone seen any sales numbers on the Nexus S yet ?
If they were flying off the shelf I'd think we'd have seen some press on it by now.
I'm guessing the sales figures are underwhelming.
Maybe thats why the Nexus One is still lonely for Gingerbread ?
Not sure what the sales figures are, but until this past Sunday - it had not been advertised in the Best Buy flyer (here in Denver CO.). So maybe now, sales will pick up some - since they're finally starting to advertise it...?
P.S. Must not have done too bad in sales, wasn't it back-ordered last week?
Its advertised all over the internet... Google ads have nexus s all over them.

Multiple Best Buy employees told me that when they checked the stock from local stores that all stores in and around Houston Texas were told out in 24 hours. I had to drive 2 hours across town to get the last one from a small town outside of Houston. People in Europe were saying similar things when the Nexus S was released on December 22nd.

It's hard to deduce real meaning from that kind of anecdotal evidence.
Yeah, stores sold out fast, and in the past we'd have said that meant that the sales exceeded expectations (a good thing), but now part of the marketing campaign on many products is false shortages to artificially create a sense of demand. They only release part of what they expect to actually sell into the retail chain the first week or two to keep the item interesting. Look at the Nexus One, EVO 4G, a couple of the iPhone models, the iPad, etc - all of them sold out the first day or two. Are the planners really that conservative/wrong in their sales forecasts, or are they just playing marketing games?
Until we see some actual numbers there's really no way to know how many of the devices were sold, and whether it's a disappointing number or not.

Most Best Buys in this area had like 4 or 5 of them.
Only one store was actually a T-Mobile dealer and they had 70.
So based on almost none in stock, its easy to see how they could
easily be sold out.
Honestly though, Google made a niche phone that the average phone
buyer wont buy.
Even many N1 owners arent buying it.
Is it maybe that the N1 owners expected a major upgrade from their current
phone, and thats certainly not the case at all.
I know I was underwhelmed by the NS and returned it after a week.
The MT4G is definitely a faster phone, and yes the 4G is in the area.
If nexus one ROM really is being purposely delayed, when it does finally come out it better be solid as a rock with all the extra testing time they get.
Hate to be devil's advocate, but really, Google is no longer obligated to update the Nexus One. Therefore, they'll get to it when they get to it.
I am a Nexus One user and I picked up the Nexus S from my local Best Buy about a week ago. It was interesting to me that there was no in-store signage or promotion. As I was waiting for the guy that was helping me to check to see if they had the phone back in stock - ("we were sold out" ) Two other people walked up and asked about the same phone.
I started chatting with them and neither one had previously used an Android device. Both had seen the phone advertised online and thought it looked like a cool phone. I finished up first and left with my phone but I think they both were buying the device as well.
The Best Buy employee I was dealing with said they weren't getting a lot of stock but they were quickly selling out of what they were getting in FWIW.
Best Buy in Northgate - Seattle had huge shelf full of Nexus S. After a few hours on Dec 16, half was gone. I know they eventually sold every single phone since a week later they were out. Had to drive up north to Alderwood to pick up a replacement and even there the stock was limited. So i am guessing the phone sold ok.

Best Buy Mobile in Woodfield mall had signs promoting the Nexus S, and when I went in for an exchange, they had a working demo unit kinda like how apple has their iPhones and iPads at their stores.
Nexus phones aren't really about sales they are about setting an example of what an android phone should be. How many phones had 1ghz processors before the Nexus One. Google forced manufacturers to stop making phones that had only weak processors. Manufacturers are only in it for the money and they don't care how bad they make android look, there are a lot of people who say android sucks because they used to own a backflip for example. I think the Nexus S is going to sell a lot more than the Nexus One because after 12 months I only knew of one other person who had one and I bought it for him (he paid me back). In the first week I have already seen or talked to people who know other people that have bought it. It will never sell a lot though not like the Evo or Mytouch, it is not all over TV or carrier approved, they would never let you get away with free tethering.

Not saying they won't update it or shouldn't. Just that Google can take their time with it.
This will be my first Nexus so I'm not sure how you guys generally go about it. In addition to being on the Play store, are these usually sold by the big online retailers like Amazon? If so, would they be likely to have it immediately when it's released, or would Google hold onto some sort of "exclusive" sales period?
I do know that I'm not interested in buying it from AT&T just on general principles, but might consider some other non-Google source if I'm guaranteed availability & quick shipping.
I'm pretry sure best buy will have it along with tmobile. Best place to buy will probably be the play store. Also wrong section

I'm pretty sure that they will be offering the Nexus 5 on Amazon. I'm not completely sure because its Google ( unpredictable ), but the Nexus 7 (2013) was on Amazon, so I assume that the Nexus 5 will be too.
Probably just the playstore and possibly the carriers. Retailers would want a piece of the pie and these are already subsidized by Google at $350 ~
Usually sold only on playstore to start with, but Google may partner with amazon and best buy as well. But whatever it is place an order from play store as soon as the device goes for sale. Then look if you can get locally from best buy since you can always cancel or return the play store order.
My preference if it's available amazon, I will go for it with prime shipping. Always easy to deal with amazon customer service than Google or usually no clue best buy customer service.

This will be my first nexus too. If bought from a carrier, will they be adding their own bloat like they do on other phones or will it stay true to the stock android experience? Would you still get your updates from Google or are you stuck waiting for the carrier to push them out?

I hope to get it from T-Mobile (as long as they don't screw everyone over like they did with the Nexus 4 and offer it at a higher price) since I would be able to pay for it over 2 years and not have to pay full price right away.
Also, just read this on the official blog:
Nexus 5 will be available soon at the following retailers: Sprint, T-Mobile, Amazon, Best Buy and RadioShack.

They should be listing the phone within a few days.
Is that based on a source? Or just based on their track record with the Nexus 7 (2013) ?
Even if they don't list it until Nov 6th, i'd get it before i would have if ordered from the play store. I just hope its not a debacle like the chromecast. Then again, that was because of the netflix promo.

I'd like to know as well if this is from a source or just an educated guess. I have Amazon GCs I can use if it's not that long of a wait for Amazon to get it. T-Mobile's "in the coming weeks" makes it sound like it could take a month for them to get it and I don't know if they will increase the price like they did the Nexus 4.

The way I read that is it could be any time before Thanksgiving time so it could be a whole month before we see it at those retailers.

If you are waiting for Google Play Store, please don't wait for them. The best you can do is get free shipping or playstore credit. For retail, the price starts to come down after a few months. If it is close to Christmas, Easter or any major holidays then there are great deals to be taken.
On a new device like this, Google doesn't usually reduce the price. They may offer additional incentives for the holiday season, such as Play Store credit, free shipping, etc., but that's about it. The price won't be reduced until just before the next nexus phone is released, probably 4th quarter 2014. Of course, there's always the possibility of some crazy event affecting the norm... but I wouldn't count on it.
Phone is already cheap for what you get. Check out the Moto G for $200.

I am fine with paying $349.That is a great price for the phone. What I am trying to decide is whether to purchase it now or wait for February when I will actually get to use the phone. I want to purchase it now, so that I can have it already. However, if it it might get reduced between now and then, it would be wise to wait. In the past have the prices stayed constant until the new model came out?

Out of Box SW from new Verizon online purchases? (128gb)
I’ve done an extensive amount of searching, both here and elsewhere, I was hoping to be able to figure this out without a new thread but here goes …
I am interested in getting a 128gb S6, I am also interested in rooting. Obviously In order to root the build it needs to be OC3/OE2 out of the box. I’ve gone to a couple Verizon stores as part of my fact finding and for the 32/64gb versions they appear to all be about out of the OE2 (I found one for 64 but was not in a position to get it). Also per Verizon the 128gb version is delivery order only.
My question is for those here who have a 128gb version. Given that the out of box SW is dependent on when it was sent to Verizon, I’m interested to hear when folks bought / received theirs and what the SW was. My hope is that the 128gb trim has been slow selling and they have a lot of back-stock or Never ordered more units from Samsung. That hope is based on the idea that the level obviously sold poorly enough that Samsung declined to offer the Note 5 and S6 Edge+ with 128gb. Basically I’m trying to figure out what my chances at OE2 are if I order one.
Sorry for the long post and thank you.
-JasonVaritekMVP
Not sure how this is going to help you. You have no way of knowing until you get the unit. Anyone's past experience getting a 128gb is what they got when they got it. The longer you wait, the higher chance it will be updated.
Just go to the store and tell them that you want one with only those versions of software. The firmware version is on the box. Buying online will be hard and unpredictable.

I was in your same position a few weeks ago. I got a brand new 128gb thru Verizon's website praying it would be on OE2 but to my amazement it was only on OC3! I was so happy, lol.
I think your luck is good because the 128gb model is the least popular and most likely all the 128gb models are just sitting on shelves in some warehouse so in order for them to be updated an employee would have to go thru each one, one by one and download and install the OTA's, correct? So yeah, I think that would take a while and they would just let the customer do the OTA.
But like the other guy said the longer you wait the worse your chances are....
Btw for what it's worth mine got shipped from Memphis.

That is indeed my hope. And I place the order Wednesday, (Family plan, I don't get to make unilateral decisions on the account)
Also just for clarity I have inquired to the stores about 64gb, looks like at this point it's pretty much OF1 or late.
I'll keep my fingers crossed.

In case anyone else had a similar question to me about the firmware out of the box for a 128 gb s6 (gold). I got it in the mail today and it is OE2! I'm all rooted, titanium installed and blocking the OTA updates from harassing me

On their website, they have a give away for the Zenfone 6 to come to North America in 47 days.
B&H has it on their website. If you enter your email address they notify you when it's in stock. I'm getting impatient though. I think ASUS really needs release their phones a lot sooner after they unveil them. If something more appealing comes out between now and then I may get that instead.
He'll, if the S10+ drops in price enough between now and then I may just get that (used)

With the sweepstakes ending later this month, there could possibly be a new model with the USA/North American release. I hope so, at least.
Why would Asus have it available to the USA via importer websites but not officially? Maybe so far its taking a while to get through FCC certifications...
I would buy the international version, but I want to be sure all of the bands in the USA are available on the phone. I use AT&T and want to be sure I get full coverage. From what I've read, Gearbest mainly sells the international/Europe version and this one is spotty with the USA bands available. Hence, I wait for the USA release. But I'm with all ya'll . . . If they don't hurry up another phone may grab my attention and they lose that sale.
BHPhoto now have July 15 for the start of pre-orders... Still no price or ship date.

Shouldn't be a surprise to anyone following the saga of trying to buy one of these in the UK.
Preorders went up late may with a mid June shipping date suggested by customer support. Then preorders were closed, but no phones arrived. Delivery date is now suggested as end July with the phones hidden on the Asus UK store.
I still really want my zenfone,, but this is as botched a launch as I've ever seen.
Still waiting in the US
I called Asus and they said "middle of July" but I take that with a grain of salt.
The botched launch plus reports of bad call quality/volume (has to do with the flip cam I think) are making me look for another phone.
I like big battery phones, there are others to chose from (though not with an 855).

Since I can't post outside links you'll just have to find the thread (s) on the asus zentalk forums for the zenphone 6 (6z). Very annoying not to be able to post this link. But I cut an pasted the first parts of it..

Any update here? Any AT&T users from the states in here? Trying to figure out if I can buy a global version instead of waiting.

B&H posted a July 15th preorder date for the U.S. version then immediately took it down over the weekend that's the latest I've seen. We will have to see what happens in a few weeks I'm tired of waiting too
