You are one lucky.......o.o...lol any chance you can tell me how to unlock bootloader, where I can get custom recovery, and s off it (if it even has some kind of s on) And the weird thing is I've called places like best buy, sprint, and afew other other companys and they said it wasn't out yet....wow. Do I have to buy it from Google? If so I'll go for the 32gb $400 (that's freaking cheappp!!!) One.

The Nexus 5 is not for sale yet, to the best of my knowledge, from non-Google Play Store locations. Sprint and T-Mobile will have it, soon, but from what I know the play store is the only location aside from ebay or something like that presently.

It's being sold for sure by resellers in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany (and probably most other EU countries). It's how I got mine.

Directions are here. Just search for them.
As for buying one, Sprint and Best buy have them. I purchased a 16gb one from Best Buy last week and am running it on Straight Talk. All versions of the phone are the same right now. No matter where you buy it. If you plan on buying it out right the Play Store is going to be cheapest. I was lucky and got Best Buy to price match the play store. Most got denied.
Also, right now there is no 64gb version. Just 16gb and 32gb.

WRONG. Both Sprint and T-mobile are selling it now -- wth $100 markup. I think some people just make up stuff or don't keep up.
From last week:
Google's Nexus 5 Smartphone Comes to T-Mobile
http://www.pcworld.com/article/2063392/googles-nexus-5-smartphone-comes-to-t-mobile.html
But has been available "to the public" since October 31. I ordered my black 32GB on that same day, was delivered on Tuesday, Nov. 5. Then ordered a 2nd 32 GB white Nexus 5 for my wife last week, which came 2 days later.

I apologize for trying to help out the OP between jobs. I ordered mine day 1, got it the Tuesday after release, went to a Sprint store the next day, confused the employees while getting my SIM and haven't been back. 1,000 sorry's for not shopping at stores more. My bad.

They normally set up the forum ahead of launch.

sure do.. there is a forum already for the optimus 3d and its been up for over a month.. and that phone doesnt even have a release date yet!!.. seriously can we get a infuse 4g forum up.. im planning on getting the phone on launch day!!
I wouldn't say it's being blackballed but........the SGSII, Atrix, and others had forums months before their actual launches. There has been plenty of mention of the Infuse in other forums to warrant its own, but for some reason the Moderator is holding off despite several requests/suggestions from others in addition to my own.
I'm hoping to see a dedicated forum up soon as well. Lack of xda dev support is my only real concern with this phone.
And speaking of dev support, I wondering what the unlocking situation will be. I have to comit to having someone buy it for me on Sunday as I am currently living out of the US. I hope I don't purchase it to later find out that there will be problems unlocking it. Although from what I hear, Samsung is pretty good about this stuff.
On another note, many of us are still wondering what the off contract price will be. Nothing seems to be set in stone just yet, but people seem to be assuming around $499.
Costco not selling Infuse until Sunday 5/15 even though coupon for $30 off is dated 5/12-6/5.

What's your source on that? Does Costco only sell to you thru contract or will they do it full price.

Questioned kiosk manager due to discrepancy of dates . They got memo clarifying. Believe they will sell at full retail, but no phone leaves building without being activated. Costco ultra conservative and won't jeopardize any business relationships.

went into a local at&t store today to get a sim card and asked about the infuse.. they had the phone there in stock and said it would be $599 off contract!! .. im hoping that it is not true and its only around $499 but that is what i was told from the at&t store... just sharing..

I know.... no forum for the Infuse sucks. I've been on some other forums and we're all hoping its $499 off contract. I'm trading in my Atrix on friday for this one and hopefully I can squeeze them to let me out with one early.

499 sounds more correct .. but not for sure ... normally the only phone they have that breaks the 500 mark is the current model iphone

Bought the Galaxy Nexus last night, selling my MT4G

So I broke down and bought the Galaxy Nexus last night. I am going to be selling my MT4G. Its in excellent condition. I will post up some good pics later today if anyone is interested in purchasing it here. I literally have everything it came with. It was brand new about 2 months ago, when I got a brand new (not a refurb) as a replacement. It is already rooted. It has CM7 on it, but pretty sure you will be able to put on it what ever you want. Only reason i switched is because tmobile's coverage is just not good where I am... and my fiance and I got the family plan at Verizon.
So let me knowif any of you are interested in it. Not sure what they are going for, but just make me a reasonable offer. I will post pics later today when I get home. And I live in the US and would prefer to sell to someone here in the states.
Hope its ok to be posting this on here. If its not, sorry.
Cheers!

I was hoping to get $200 for it. It is barely used and they seem to be going for a lot more on ebay. But I will email you by the end of the week and let you know what I have decided as far as putting it up there or not. It would be a lot easier to just sell it to you...
Id sell to that guy. By time the fees are paid and shipped you'll end up with about 150. There fees are UN real anymore. Stopped selling because of it and only deal with craigslist anymore.

So I can pre-order at the actual AT&T store? Not online? Or both? And will pre order get me the phone faster than waiting for the store release? These are the questions I had.... I am on a spread out family share plan where we live in different areas of the country, will it be shipped to the main account holder address, or can I put my own address in for the pre-sale? I need an AT&T rep to answer these I think...
Im gonna call at&t tomorrow to confirm.
call att
ask them
I will be either going into a store to get it once available. I remember when the S2 came out I was able to get it the day after release but quite a few that pre ordered it didn't get it until a week after I got mine (or close to that at least). But I will be going in to check it out in person as soon as the stores have them.

the preorder page only shows the 16gb model. i hope that's wrong. anyways i called them and they say when the stores open you can preorder. if the 32gb model isn't available ill wait until it launches to buy.

Why on Earth would you pay $50 for 16 gb of additional space?
16 gb of space is currently going for $15 on Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-MicroSDHC-Memory-Adapter-SDSDQU-032G-AFFP-A/dp/B009QZH7BU). If you feel the need to spend the $50, then get the 64 gb card for $54.

Because the internal memory is a lot faster and I would prefer to have more of it instead of external memory. The 16GB version has about 9GB usable.

So dig this, I had some questions that I posted towards the beginning of this thread about pre-order and nobody seemed to have any valuable response, so I just happened to be next door to an AT&T corp store just now getting coffe and I popped in and asked... here are my answers from the clerk that talked to her manager.
-Yes, presale begins tomorrow (duh)
-Yes, pricing is $200 and $250
-You can pre-order as soon as your store opens tomorroe (4-16)
-Yo can have it shipped to any address once pre-ordered
Here is the odd part of her responses.....
-As far as how soon I would be getting said S4 if I preorder tomorrow, she initially said it would ship in 3 to 5 working days... I thought GREAT, I am days away from having my new toy in the palm of my sweaty arizona hand...
Then the stab in the gut came, she dissapeared to the back for a moment to confirm this info and spoke to her manager, who coached her that she was wrong to quote me 3 to 5 working days. She proceded to inform me (according to her manager) the phone would ship the day it is released in the store in May.... My heart dropped and I said "May?" and she said "Well we don't know or can't say when it is being released yet..." So I said, "Well why did you say may then?" she said "well, whenever it does come out..." as if she slipped and was not supposed to disclose that...That was the end of the conversation.
I wanted to ask her "well what the hell is the point of pre-order then if It does not even ship until the day it releases in store?" but I didn't have the nerve and I guess I was hoping this was all a bad dream lol.....
So heres to hoping her and her manager were completly wrong or were just trying to be vague....
This guy here is on pins and needles waiting for his S4 and ready to give my trusty Infuse 4G a viking funeral

Likely places to buy

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.

Does the Google Play Nexus 5 ever go on sale?

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.

on sale!!?? just like the other user said the moto g mite be the phone for u.. the N5 is already crazy cheap for what u get.. do be honest one of the main reasons i got the n5 is the development it gets.. this is my first nexus phone and i love it.. i have had some many top of the line phone in the past 3 years and none of them come close to the love this phone gets.. i will never get another htc one.. or a galaxy phone again... im sticking with nexus:good:
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?
