Looks like at least initially this isn't available in the US. Recommendations for where to buy that the shipping and handling isn't as much as the device proper?

Last I read AT&T in the US would be carrying the device. Nevertheless it should be shipping out today (12th Nov) from UK online retailers, popular ones include:
http://www.clove.co.uk/samsung-galaxy-camera
http://www.handtec.co.uk/search.php...ra 8gb&xPriceFrom=0&xPriceTo=0&xSort=&xPage=2
to name a couple.
The price relevant to you is the one excluding VAT. Good luck! I'm looking forward to seeing some sample pictures and videos before making the jump!
You can buy it now in at&t retail stores in USA. I bought mine already. It awesome. Sample pics and vids in the general section.

Did they force you to get a data plan, or were you able to buy it by itself? Website is not at all clear on that point, and I don't trust the stores to know the policy, so figure best to go in with an example or two
Also, did you give any thought to a Nokia 920? It seems to me the Galaxy Camera is a camera with some phone functionality, and the 920 s a phone with some camera functionality. But not clear from images I've seen posted that either is significantly better than the other in image quaity, which is making it hard to jump one way or the other.
No I didn't need a data plan I live in Mexico, so I can't have a US data plan. The lady at the store at first didn't know they even had the camera there, because it was the day when it came out. But once she saw the camera, she knew I could buy it without a plan.
There are some people saying that they've been told at stores that you do need a plan, but as far as I know you don't. We talking to a manager or something can help.

Hi is it unlocked version?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
I found one AT&T store that wanted to force me to have a data plan, but after a new store got some in stock, I tried them, and after going into a huddle for 20 minutes or so they decided I could buy one without the data plan.
I did wonder about getting one with a data plan then doing early termination of the plan (which the AT&T web site says you can do at no charge if it is within 14 days, but fortunately I didn't have to try that .

At least the EBay one is only $30 more than AT&T. The Amazon one is almost $200 more
Think I'll give AT&T a try first given that's the case. I don't need unlocked since I will be using with my MiFi in WiFi only anyway.
Tried to buy one off contract at a T-Mobile store since my g nexus is on its last limbs and they refused to sell one to me. They said they were only for new lines. Pretty ridiculous, I'm punished for being their customer. As soon as my value plan contract is up I'm switching to straight talk.

Whoever said that lied to you. They offer all phones off contract, you should have asked to speak to a supervisor. That's the reason they offer a non commitment price in the first place.
What I would do is call another T-Mobile store while you're standing in that store.
Get customer care on the line and they will make them sell you the phone... They are trying to earn commission by only allowing new customers to get the phone and that is wrong and against policy.

Could you do this?
Got to T-mobile Store, sign up for a new two year agreement. Get the N for $200.
Call and cancel service. Pay EFT of $200. Keep the phone for $400.
It seems its only slightly more than the Play Store price, and less than the full retail price ($499?)

Standard practice is to also charge you the the difference in the phone price if you cancel within the remorse period. You would have to keep the phone until after the remorse period, pay the service charges for that period, as well as the ETF.

+ Activation fee + First month service
= $500 or less

So....they paid 500 for the device off contract at a t-mo store? Why the heck would you do that?
Also if you cancel contract right after buying the phone ON contract, they're going to charge you the full "retail" price plus termination fee.
Because I'm currently phone less.

I haven't had difficulties getting the phone (able to buy from the Play store) but T-Mobile isn't helping me switch from Verizon.
Online sold out of prepaid micro-sim cards
Went to store, wouldn't sell the micro-sim without signing up (then I can't do the $30 plan)
Ordered regular prepaid sim
Went to store, asked to cut the sim to micro-sim size, said they didn't do it for non-customers
Asked if I could exchange the regular sim for micro-sim, said no
Cut down to micro-sim size myself, activated online at 3:30pm Friday
Got an error message during activation, and have to wait for a text message from TMobile that it's activated, it's not 12pm Saturday
I'm in the process of doing that. He wouldn't give me the corporate number but I called the store I usually go to and they're going to give that to me.
PSA don't visit T-Mobile stores in prick neighborhoods. They're run by pricks.

Only 2 stores in the city that are carrying it.
Just realized that it might take a few more hours till we get some useful info because most of the U.S. is still asleep..
Every single store in Chicago is sold out as of yesterday. Literally every single store
Eh, Northern Nevada reporting. The T-Mobile stores I've been to seem to have a "never will carry Nexus 4 in stock since the market is so niche and people had complaints with the last 3-4 AOSP phones prior" policy. Makes me sad how cruel retailers can be.

Also never carried them in Henderson, NV
Minnesota Burnsville Center has two left I think. It's a small number but they're worth a call.

Since i work at a T-Mobile store i will be the great person to add the list of all the stores selling it. I jsut do not know who has what stock, but its a list of every store in the US. The stock when the phone was put out is on the far right of the file. However i have no clue who has what right now.

I think the website is out of stock or they are for employe's. I bought mine at 3am on the 14th as a employee for $170. Everything right now on our internal site says that employe's will not be able to buy it until after Jan 1st 2013. Most of the time the stores get stock back before the website. So i am sure the stores will start to get more in the coming weeks. For sure the higher volume stores will. You can call Care and see if they can sell you one over the phone but they will not sell one off contract on the phone. Care only deals with contract stuff. You have to buy one in the store if you do not want a contract.
First Post updated.
T-Mobile had them a few days ago on cottman ave and the boulevard in Philadelphia pa. Basically they said high traffic busy T-Mobile stores will get them

Said they had 5 in stock yesterday. EDIT: Just called and they're out of stock now. That was fast.
Can anyone buy me one from one if the stores? It'll be greatly appreciated. My lovely Sim card is bloody useless...
Does anyone know if the stores will get Accessories for the Nexus 4?

they have one left....
My phone works half decently around town and where I work/ go to school. But at home I either have one bar or none...I called in to sprint and they offered me an airave for 249.99 with a one year contract and 149.99 with a two year contract. After telling the first rep to piss off the second rep offered the device flat out for 100 bucks. I said if I have to pay additional costs for a service I already pay for to work properly I want to cancel my plan. The rep transfered me to cancellations and I explained my situation as well as how the coverage map says I have "better" to "best" sprint coverage at my home. They told me that the coverage map is not guaranteed indoors and to cancel service I would pay full etf. Of course sprint, you got me to sign a contract now you want to butt fck me. Any suggestions welcome. I ordered a used airave off eBay for 40 bucks lol.

Can I give you some advice?
If you really want to cancel you plan without paying a fee. Put roam only mode on. Always. Everywhere you go and use your hotspot a lot. At least 50GB or more. I have cancelled my contract twice like that and sold my phone. Jumped on some one else's plan with new device.

everytime i did this they offered a free airrave... i suggest keep trying
I have this issue as well, and I even sent screen caps of Google maps showing me at home with one and no bars, and the rep argued with her manager who still said I would have to pay for an airrave because the map said I was in a "good to better" coverage area.

A way to get an airrave for free is to go to your local corporate store and tell them your situation and then that they let your friend have an airrave for free because of the inconvenience. They have them in the store. But it must be a corporate store. I live 1.3 miles from a tower and my cell signal is just one bar. They gave me one.

Airave
I don't know why they haven't offered you an Airave for free. I'm in a family plan with my sister's family, and Sprint shipped an Airave to her house which I set up. Took some doing to get it configured properly on her system (and being shipped a faulty power supply didn't help) but once we got it working it really did the trick.
Try to have customer service send you an Airave, or try to figure out why this request is being denied.
I was a corp store manager up to 4 months ago(now District Manager for 3rd party dealer) and we never carried an airrave in stock for the purpose of giving for free. We usually had one on hand if somebody actually wanted to buy one but would always direct the customer to the "phoenix team" who had the ability to send one out for free. Your bill will go up by a couple of dollars for taxes, but no more than that. If you ask your corp store for the Phoenix Team ph#, they should be able to look it up and give it to you. Just say you have horrible in building coverage at home and that should do the trick. I did it for my mother in law...mostly so I could have better service at her house lol
I recently moved to Columbia, MD and I am in a similar situation. I have good 4G outside but it drops to one bar of 1X or roams indoors. I can't make phone calls and texts are delayed hours, sometimes days.. I have spoken with customer service 3-4 times about this and they still insist that I have to pay for the Airave. I was also told that they were back ordered anyway. Lol. Maybe I'll see what the corporate store will do, if anything.

Have you tried to E-mail [email protected]? I had to do that to get an Airave for my office. Sprint service isn't near my building, and well work in a brick building that has brick interior walls. They sent one free of charge to me that I installed within my office building.
It did take Sprint about 2 weeks to send me the 2.5 version to replace the 1.0 that I had...

The airrave requires an additional line on your acct, you may not be qualified credit wise through sprint to get a free airrave. You really need to go to a local store and speak to those reps to have them argue on your behalf to get a better offer on one

Sooo just went to a T-Mobile store to buy a note outright to use on ATT but the sales person I got said they no longer allow buying the phone without at least a prepaid plan. Anyone else come across this?
Going to check out other retailers to see if I can get by without paying for 2 months of T-Mobile service on top of ATT :/
Try best buy.
Swappa.com and save some cash while your at it. A lot of XDA guys selling their stuff there.
Yeah looks like swappa+an unlock code would still be cheaper in most cases.
Seems that best buy only carries sprint Verizon and att?

You should be able to sign up and just cancel if you have no other options. The fine print reads that if you are using the Electronic Installment Plan and you cancel then the remaining balance on the phone immediately becomes due. Does it say there are some other fees you incur if you cancel early?

I just think it depends on other factors, but idk I didn't have this issue but I heard others have.
