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.

Really? How do people not know this stuff.
I purchased my phone at Best Buy from the Sprint salesman.

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.

I've been thinking the same thing for a long time. Their build quality is shoddy and their products are built to be replaced by the next generation of phones.

Yeah but samsung is not the only one guilty of doing this. Once the phone is already its aweful nice of a company to spend money making and giving out free updates. I would imagine it costs them quite a bit to develop and bug test a new version of their firmware.
how many of you that got the note 5 did the promotional thing where you can get free gifts I don't know if it's still available but these are what I got if you go to the Samsung website look up promotions it should be holiday bundles and you can choose I choose than man package cause it came with the headphones when I find the link I'll post it hopefully it's still up and running

Waiting for confirmation here, Gear VR is also on back order.
I am waiting for my level on bundle to ship. I haven't gotten confirmation yet. Also got the 100 certificate for Samsung.com. I was going to get the level on Bluetooth speaker but it was sold out so I got a gearvr which went through and then got notice that it was back ordered. So now I wait
Well this kinda sucks. It only applies to people who didn't buy before a certain date. I bought on launch day. Ah well I submitted receipts anyway. [emoji1]
they didn't send me any confirmation saying if they shipped it or not I got home one day and bam there was my box
I wanna know where did ya go to get the vr setup I didn't see any promos for that one

The $100 coupon for signing up to Samsung pay can be used to buy the gear vr at samsung.com

Hey guys, old news perhaps but
apparently the Gear S2 and Samsung Pay is in closed beta..
looks like it will get much better for our cousins across the pond but no cigar for us folks in the UK..

The only way for our current watch to work is like you tried to use on your old note (nfc). Samsung s6 and up have mst which allows samsung pay to work so flawlessly because nfc doesn't work sometimes. Samsung should of put mst in our current watch honestly from the get go. When Google wallet came out (2011), it worked but most of the time it didnt, not like samsung pay today
There is an app on the galaxy apps store

Where I have looked everywhere
Either Samsung have given up or too many issues in the launch markets to date, still nothing in the UK.
From a marketing perspective, pretty much every retailer has the Apple Pay logo, a few the Google, i tried using my Barclays version with varying success, it failed to work at one retailer to which the sales rep said, ah you don't have an iPhone.

I received a notification this morning also that Samsung Pay for Gear was ready for download. I'm guessing it's part of the public rollout. Haven't downloaded it yet, but will when I get time. Will report back.
(EDIT) The notification was for the Beta version, so I guess it's not the official rollout yet. I may still try it, IF I can find one of my cards that it supports!
Got it, got excited ... but none of my cards will register, same cards registered on my phone won't go through for the watch.
Lame
I had to call my bank twice to verify. Did it once and an hour later I reset the watch app and tried again. Went through in seconds that time. Haven't tried it out yet.
Just saw the update popped up on my Gear S2 today. Installed the app and registered a card. :good:

Supposedly 2 possible safe note 7's have went up in smoke and flames. I have also read that the major carriers in the US will be allowing exchanges of the now safe note 7's for something else.
Well if this is the case, what other options are on par with the note 7? Im thinking S7 edge or God forbid i go to an Iphone 7 plus. What are you guys looking at just in case or will you roll the dice and take your chances?

This is really a shame because I love my Note 7. If it is recalled again I'm thinking of the HTC 10, since my previous phone was the HTC M8 and I loved it. I would miss the s-pen ALOT, along with all the Note 7's other great features. For now I will take my chances on the replacement and hope all works out.

I just exchanged my Note 7 for the s7 edge at Sprint. I was having Bluetooth issues like others and didn't want to get stuck with the phone for another 2 years. Only crappy thing is since Best Buy wouldn't accept the phone since it's over the 14 day return policy I had to go through Sprint and they did an even swap out so technically I lost $100 since the s7 edge is less money but oh well. I'll grab another 256gb micro SD card and try to make my $100 back.

I wish i could hold out on the S8 which im sure is going to be awesome or who knows the Note 8 might be the greatest of them all.

They would but only if it was purchased through Sprint. Mine was purchased through Best Buy and Best Buy wouldn't help me at all since I was outside the 14 day return window for my "safe version 2" Note 7. Really Sprint shouldn't have let me swap out the phone but I found a manager at one of my local Sprint stores who was cool and he didn't stress where I purchased it so I lucked out.

I've got 4 days until my 14 return window with best buy is over and I'm not sure what I want to do. I love this device and downgrading to a 7 edge would be something I do not want to do, and there's really no other device that sprint has that I want right now. I guess if forced I'd go to an htc 10 simply because it's got root already and decent developer support, but I'd still be upset with having to give my note up, I love it.
The note 7 is dead. If there is a recall, I highly doubt we'll be getting another Note 7...

The S8 will be rushed to try to put this blunder behind them and the Note 8 will probably be the greatest phone ever created in an effort to erease the past.

The s7 edge is only a "downgrade" if your set on having the S-Pen. I loved having the pen to create goofy pictures now and then but it's not a big deal. All the specs are the same with better battery life on the edge. I liked the idea of the Iris scanner but never really used it. Really the only thing I miss is the newer version of Always on display but I'm sure the edge will get it shortly.

It's only got gorilla glass 4 and and half the storage capacity, it is a downgrade, and one I definitely don't want. If I wanted a 7 edge, I'd have had one months ago. Now I'm forced to make a choice I really don't want to make. I really hope they don't scrap the note 7 entirely

This is my first Note, coming from the S6 and I am totally disappointed with all the negative media. I had no problems with the first and none, so far, with the replaced Note 7. There is no other phone that I want right now, so if forced, I'll get a refund and go back to my S6 and wait on the S8... I still have my Nexus 6P on Google Fi.

It may sound crazy, but I haven't used my "upgrade" from Sprint for years. I usually by the phone outright from someone else, which was the case the with first one. That way, I'm not stuck. I usually use PayPal Credit, so no large upfront money put out.
