I'm buying Nexus 5 but I want it to be from play store. I live outside US.
Is there a way to know if the pinpacked Nexus 5 I'm buying is bought from play store or not ?
The online store I'm buying for unfortunately are not providing me the information that they've bought from play store or not
Where do you live? In my opinion, it doesn't really matter.

Even if you buy one that's bought from Google Play, it's still very inconvenient to send it for RMA. You still have to send it back to the owner in USA, then have the person sending it back to Google for RMA.

Means I can't RMA it directly. I don't think they verify the lerson. Don't they just RMA it if it is bought from play store

Unless YOU buy it form the play store, you cant RMA directly.
If you buy from any 3rd party, you will be dealing with LG for warranty

why would you not just buy it on the play store? Besides, Best Buy is known for marking up phones' full prices.

Play store is usually bare minimum $100 cheaper than what the provider charges.
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.

I wish I knew when it was available in bb. I would rather skip the shipping.

I'm patiently waiting for amazon to sell it. It seems like no one has any information on that...yet.

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.
Hello,
Just a quick question to the lucky persons who already received their N5.
Did google include the invoice with total sum paid for the phone with N5 package?
Thanks in advance
Can't say for the Nexus 5 as I don't receive mines until tomorrow. But for the Nexus 4, there was a invoice included in the package.

Hey,
Thanks, please let me know about your nexus 5 as soon as you get it..
You can always print the invoice from the playstore
I've ordered three pieces of hardware from Google Play and all three came with an invoice.

Thanks, that means I'll have to declare real value of the package and pay full tax in my Country
I was going to buy Nexus 4, but it's poor camera, glass back and small internal memory were preventing me from that. Now I want to buy Nexus 5. However, it isn't available in Poland and considering time LG needed to introduce N4 to Poland (we haven't got devices in Play Store), N5 will arrive in 3-4 months. If I buy new Nexus in Germany, will it's warranty work in Poland or it'll be needed to send it back to Germany?

Correct, through your cousin and then he sends it back to Google using a RMA number which will be given by Google. You can`t send it to Google yourself as you didn`t place the order.

So I unfortunately shattered the screen on my Nexus 5 and would like to buy the phone again. The problem is, Google is out of stock on the Google Play Store and they will probably never get more because the Nexus 6 is out. My question is where can I buy a Nexus 5 in retail packaging? I can't post a link to it because I'm a new user but if you search Nexus 5 on Amazon and click on the first one it looks like a third party is selling it or something because the picture looks really sketchy. So will that phone be in retail packaging and if not is there a place I can buy one from that would be?

Try Amazon for instance. I`am sure there are Nexus 5 devices on the market still for the time beeing. If goods are sold as new on Amazon they will be shipped in the original retail packaging, you might also email the seller for confirmation for this.
Where did you buy it from first? IF you bought it from the play store, see if they will replace it and how much it would cost..........As for the phone on amazon why don't you ask a question.....You can also try looking on ebay for a "new" nexus 5 with retail packaging as well.
edit:
On one of the listings there are 157 questions, so I bet you aren't the first person to ask the question about the retail packaging.
