I just placed my order when essential on Friday. I'm going to see if they can price match or cancel. Plus the camera is only $50 now
Just purchased my Essential last week, thankfully Best Buy will price match. Thanks!
In the bigger picture what does this mean? None of the Best Buy stores within a 50 mile radius of me (6 of them) have the PH-1 in stock. Only internet orders. And Amazon doesn't have it anymore, either.....

I ordered the white one and should receive it Wednesday. The only problem I had was the 360 camera wasn't available for online purchase.

Could be, it sounds like they have plenty from what we've heard about sales.
Amazon also has Black for $449
It's a downward trend for the newer hardware developers. I hope they find success in some form, or else we will be relegated to the big 3 (or 2!). The smaller phone developers provide for competition in the market, but if they fail this spectacularly, new players will dry off and the bigger players will get to charge as much as they want.
The bigger players are increasing the MSRP so much that the smaller players are getting a free run to increase their prices thinking they'll get away due to the price difference, but that is not happening, and companies like OnePlus and Essential should keep that in mind when increasing cost following the established market players.

Best buy has an "unlocked phone sale event" this week so I wouldn't necessarily say this is a price drop that's permanent
I hope root and official TWRP comes out soon. It's the Essential Phone at $449 or I'll get the OnePlus 5T for the $500 or so price, which will guaranteed have big development.

It goes in and out of stock, but I can confirm it's listed at $449 when it does allow you to add to cart. Last I saw it, it allowed you to order and it said in stock on Nov 11th.

When I click the link, I see the same thing that I find when I search. Only 3rd party vendors, with lowest price at $628. Thanks anyway.
As mentioned, it goes n and out of stock. That's the link. Yesterday it allowed you to preorder for Nov 11 stock at $449. Clearly, they're out of stock again.
You'll have to periodically check both black and white listings if you want to snag it at $449 from Amazon. That is certainly Amazon's Essential phone link, though.

The title says it all! The woman at AT&T said that the people who pre-order before the second will have the devices at their doorstep on the fourth! I am excited for this forum to be my new home! I hope we have a lot of wonderful Dev support!!!

So if you preorder at your local AT&T store, you won't get it til the 6th? The early delivery is online only?

Really? Normally you get it early if you get it shipped to your home. Stores are generally prohibited from giving you the phone before the release.
EDIT:Yeah, store pickup is the 6th.

Why preorder? Wouldn't it be a better idea just to wait until May 3rd to see what Samsung has to offer?

Cause they may be like me and not really care what Samsung is gonna offer. Or they are gonna get the One X and get the Samsung later this year when it appears on AT&T

Plus if the GS3 has everything you have ever wanted and somehow will hit att in 2 weeks.. you could cancel the preorder
Just got done placing the order in store (white model). I was worried they wouldn't honor the free upgrade fee that I usually get from the website (they did honor it). I did however find out that my $15 (200MB) data plan was no longer available and I would have to go up to the $20 (300MB) plan. Even then they were pressuring me hard to go with the bigger data plan. Told the guy to look at my current usage on the account...which was 20MB so far. Didn't seem to matter to him. Told me he uses 200MB before making it to work in the morning. This is why I like doing everything online. Still, $212 after tax and everything feels about right for this phone. Used it for the first time in the store and loved it!
The manager told me that as soon as the phone arrives at the store he will give me a call and I can get it that day which should be Friday the 4th at the very latest, but expects it much earlier than that.

I got black. While the white looks sexy (my friend has the international version), I prefer the black.
I was debating whether to wait t see what sammy has to offer on the third, however:
1) my HTC Aria is really starting to show its age
2) while the phone may be announced on the third, they may not even mention when it will be coming to the US; and I'm not about to wait around for six months unsure if it will even come to AT&T.
3) there is no guarantee that the SIII will be available at the steal of a price that the One X will is
4) If by chance that all of these factors fall in favor of the SIII, one can always return the One X, fight the re-stocking fee and pick up the SIII
P.S. I just ordered these two items from Amazon. This phone needs to be protected incredibly well because when I ride my motorcycle, the phone goes in the jacket pocket with all of my other belongings...
Case
Screen Protector
Did anyone order a case and/or a screen protector in advance? I'd like to know what the options are! I personally am a favor of TPU. Keeps the bulk down, yet does the job.

Tried to place an order on the AT&T website twice in the past hour, but when I click to upgrade phone, the website has an error and can't process the request. It was working fine this morning (didn't have time to pre-order, just looked at it)
Im not much in to preordering but I plan on getting this phone, I went to my local store a couple hours ago and they dont have any on display, hell they barely even knew what I was talking about lol which is weird since they did announce it being preordered.

Browse for the phone, then order
I just noticed this line in my upgrade pre-order confirmation:
You have chosen to upgrade your device with no-commit pricing. Please note, SIM cards are not included with no-commitment orders. If you need a new SIM card, please place your order at a store near you, or by phone at 1-888-333-6651.

So I guess no micro-SIM in the box for me... Hopefully the store can take care of that for me... Does anyone know how funny they would be "upgrading" my plan from my 4gb tether data plan to the LTE 5 GB tether plan? It won't let me do it online...

Yep, I checked the store today and they did not have it in stock. They had an open space to display it, but no stock. They said that a lot of people have been asking about it. They didn't know when it would arrive, but it might be as much as a month after it is listed online.

Was told the same thing, minus others asking about it when I went to check.
I called my local Best Buy. The lady stated that her computer said it will be in stock on 22nd - 23rd of July. So hopefully only another week!

That fondue pot's looking pretty good XD. I didn't see it this morning, it's there now. I ordered over the phone and the expected delivery date is the 19th-24th.
EDIT: Anyone notice that the dock is $160 at Best Buy?
EDIT2: A side note...they offered a warranty of some sort (I didn't really listen, I just wanted to get the thing ordered already), some Geek Squad warranty against physical damage like drops and breaks, it even covered water damage. Anyone think that would be worth it? I don't think I'll be taking my tablet to the shower with me anytime soon, but it might be helpful if it's actually a good service and I do happen to break it.
If you're in Canada, you can get them here:
http://www.blueshop.ca/lg-oem-bumper-case-black-cch190blk/4A120A13756.htm
They cost a little more, but shipping is free (that's what it says on the page). I believe they ship internationally, but they're based in Canada so the Canadians will like this.
Out of stock already.

It was in stock a couple days after the Nexus 4's came back in stock on the Canadian Play Store. I managed to order one on Feb. 1st and it's arriving tomorrow. Keep trying though. They seem to come in stock and go out randomly.
edit* I placed my order directly through the Play Store. The one you have listed is a few bucks cheaper but I think it will even out after they add taxes.
The Play Store in the U.S. says out of inventory for both the 16 and 32GB versions.
Is this phone coming back at all now? I found an article online that said that after Q1 2015 it is not available any longer.

The Play Store hasn't restocked too often since near the end of last year (and sells out too quickly when it does). You're better off looking elsewhere instead of waiting.

Therefore it doesn't belong in this thread.
@xdadevnube XDA's recommended place to look is Swappa, but pretty much anywhere will do as long as you try not to get scammed. Of course, you can also buy from a carrier store/retailer if you'd rather have a brand new one. Other than the two models for the different LTE bands (D820—US/D821—rest of the world), every Nexus 5 is the same.
Hi,
Any updates on the pre-book offer for the watch 4 series in India?
You can call up to this number 180010 7267864 and know it for yourself
