Where is it? Can't find it. Does it exist? I'm interested in buying it but not sure yet. Another question, if I buy it locked from amazon can I use it without a plan aka phone service? I'm planning to use it strictly for wifi/gps. As a tablet. Anyone know?

from a quick search it looks like it does not have a forum on XDA, but androidforums has one. as for the 2nd question, you are able to use it without a phone service and still use the wifi/gps.
i would recomend getting a moto g instead if your not going to use it for service. its $100 less on amazon but the F7 beats its specs by a little. theres a bigger display on the F7, bigger battery, better CPU (Dual core 1.5ghz vs quad core 1.2ghz) better Camera and expandable storage (MicroSD) while the moto g punchs the F7 with a Higher ppi (pixels per inch) and a hugely better GPU and will be updated to higher versions of android and has a active community on XDA.

Thanks. But they cost the same (200 dollars) on Amazon. So being "locked" won't make it unusable? It HAS to have a external micro sd card slot. So the moto g is not a good choice to me. I love love everything about the moto g EXCEPT the fact that it doesn't have the external sd card. So it has to be between the optimus f7 or optimus g. Both 200 dollars on amazon. Here's the link

When it means "locked" it means its locked to the carrier, but since its boost mobile you can most likely use it on sprint. As for the price, the moto g is $99 on Verizon (amazon) and $129 on boost mobile (amazon)

But the thing is that I don't plan on connecting it. I plan to use it strictly as a wifi only device. So being unlocked or locked doesn't matter if I don't plan on connecting it with a phone plan? Sorry for asking. For example would it matter if I got the cheaper prepaid moto g or the more expensive unlocked version?

I totally know what you mean mate, you are able to use any android device just for WiFi without a data plan,( it might prompt you to activate it but you can just ignore it) if you bought one of them you will be able to use it just like your using your galaxy player 4.2. I was only telling you the carrier info just in case you want to use it in the future

I'm looking for an unlocked phone that wont break the bank, had high hopes for the new 6589 phones from China but between the 2GB RAM bugs and the subpar graphical performance (wasn't expecting much from the A7 cores from the start) combined with in most cases >$230~$299 prices for some of the actually good quality units (like the UMI) make me think the N4 is still the best bang for your buck out there.
Which is kind of sad given its not that new anymore and has that pain in the ass storage handicap, but the S4 Nexus being as expensive as an iphone5 is IMHO just too much money for a phone that might at best last 2 years before its effectively obsolete.
Frankly I can't find any alternatives to the N4 at that price range, can you?
Lg optimus g. There's many variants. There at&t variant has external SD plus internal SD. The lgog n the n4 are internally the same device. The lgog just had more options

The phone can be unlocked. Any gsm phone can be unlocked. There's also a Sprint variant, 2 Canadian variants, and a Korean variant. Pick your poising n unlock it.

Take nexus 7 ..
I know it can be unlocked, but I'm stuck with contract anyway, or have to pay full price which is much higher than the N4.
stick to the N4, you can't do much better with your money, or take a look at chinese phones but obviously you won't get the same support (custom rom)
I could reccomend the HTC ONE it's almost the same price

I have two P6800s one for me and one for she who must be obeyed and both are fantastic devices. i believe it is one of the more flexible for use devices on the market. I sourced both of mine from http://www.onthegosolutions.com/. If there are any available that is another source. just looked at the website and he shows 699.00 for a new one. Over the years have bought about 8 different phones and never had a problem. Best of luck finding what you want. BTW i use 64 g cards in both so have plenty of memory and storage.

Hi, I am from India and today flipkart is launching Moto G so i want to know if its worth buying Moto G 8gb Variant ?

I would not expect much from the camera since it's pretty average but at the price you would be amazed it has a camera at all. but nevertheless the phone is totally worth buying without a doubt.

The camera is pretty subpar. Other than that you will be satisfied, at least for the price point.
I ordered the 8gb one. my sister told she does not need 16gb.. it was up to her to decide.
Battery cannot be removed will that be an issue ?

Does the ROM made for single SIM variant works on the dual SIM model, I mean does the 1SIM work perfectly...atleast 1SIM should work properly!
For sure an upgrade from my Samsung Galaxy SII, Epic 4g Touch. Mostly the battery and the screen. The camera is honestly slightly worse, but I don't instagram my food so it's not a huge deal to me.

Yes, perfectly normal - as long as you're using it on the first sim slot. Doing it myself on mine.
Go for it dude. I got the XT1032 (single-SIM) for 16.5K a few weeks ago, because I was concerned a lot about dev. support. But, seems like you can go with the XT1033 as well as it seems to support most ROMs.
buy it, you wont be disapointed. just remember if you let it discharge completely and it wont turn on or recharge - keep the power button pressed until it turns on
Fantastic phone for the money. Feels like a Nexus, looks like one, performs like one. Great phone, **** 2G battery drain though lol.

Amazing battery
High quality body better than any phone in this range

It depends on budget and what you need in a phone. I really enjoying have lte again and the pro has more bang for buck for another 100+ but if you need a unlocked phone then the g is your best bet.

The N5 is a budget smartphone, and was dirt cheap for what you got. You cant expect every phone out there to follow the same pricing model. I dont know why you think it's disappointing, it's a 2014 smartphone with 2014 specs. It has the same specs as the S5, HTC One M8, G3, but better build quality and performance, and cheaper than all of them. Just wait for the sale that you mentioned, thats an amazing price. And yeah it has the same GPU as the N5 but it is clocked higher, and side by side it is noticeably faster and smoother than the N5 is.
check the new Asus Zenfone 2 (Intel Atom, 4GB RAM)
