Pulled a total impulse buy on a white 32gb Nexus 5 as I've always been eyeing this phone. I just ordered a Z1 LTE C6906 in white from Sony (Buy.com had them for sale for $285!! but went back up to over $500 in 24hrs) so I'll decide which one to keep and then sell the other
Buy on!

It's worth paying a bit extra to have the 1 year warranty go through Google instead of LG.
I am seeing them in my area go for 250 to 325 depending on the version on Craigslist in mint condition. Might grab one of these as a backup.

Personally I never keep phones more than a year so this doesn't really persuade my purchases. But thanks for noting that.

It is the same 1 year warranty when from Google or otherwise,it is LG's warranty.You get Google's effort in front which is worth something, but for us in California buying from Google is $444.90 delivered vs this deal a $385 delivered is 15% more than taking this dealer or LG's warranty. Given failure rates are low for N5 I don't see the justification for 15% higher.

I see people sometimes talking about getting, for instance, a Thunderbolt, to replace their Droid X. My question is, how are they buying the phones? Verizon only (I thought) gives discounts when your contract is within a few months of expiring, so are they paying full price for the phones? $400, $500, $600, etc? Can someone explain this to me?
I wouldn't worry about it, the world is ending this weekend...

A lot of people do pay full price but most just sell what they have to part subsidise their new purchase. Otherwise it's wait until the contract is up.
Getting back off topic...what are you doing with your last few hours of existance?

Got the Nexus 7 when first came out, had to be replaced because it was faulty and as soon I got this I put it inside a case and never seen the back of it again. Until today.
Never dropped it or opened it. I would like to get a pogo pin dock for it.
Has anyone seen anything like it?
Bought it from tesco UK, who should I contact for warranty?
Thanks
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
It's time for another replacement if you in fact want a pogo dock for it.
RMA, my friend, RMA.
[It makes me laugh. A lot.]
Yea RMA bro.
That being said, lol at the hole.
Beamed from my Maguro.

All your legal rights are against the retailer.
Sucks. Contact the retailer you bought it from.
Practical question: is there a POGO dock for this available? ...

If you want it sorted quickly, exchange it at the tesco direct collection desk (Tesco Extra stores). This is what I did and was hassle free.
At least here in the states local Walmart stores normally has a 15 day return policy. Besides Christmas time when they extend that time frame.
I am not sure how the return policies work in the UK. But if you are within the days they allow you to return an item. You should be able to exchange the device for new one.
If you are past the time they allow you to return an item. You have no choice but to send in the device under RMA.
If you bought the device through google you have to ask them for replacement. If you bought the device through a retail store you'll have to ask a Asus for replacement.
I hope this answers your question.

Sent from my often RMA'd Nexus 4, So that I can use the one I'm using now when I get the 6th and hopefully final one.
A few of the T Mobile stores in my area want $549 for it or $199.99 under contract.
No thank you t mobile

T-Mobile at it again Google must love them to give them phones when they still have so many orders to fill. Anyway your better getting one off eBay new for cheaper. Just joined T-Mobile and data is good and plan is cheaper. But there customer service is the worst I have ever seen and in some places calls drop or break up.
But coming from sprint were 3g data is horrible its an upgrade. I hope Google buys T-Mobile

Once again google ordering system as failed me. My all access music at 7.99 was doing fine billing to my T-Mobile account well not anymore it had a problem and where it could not renew and lost the special pricing within a few days. So I give up spent 2 hours trying to work with google to fix this and I can't ever get the pricing back. And my account renew last month fine.
Another even better issue is I have ordered about 30 nexus 4's and most were from the play store but at some point I found it cheaper to just order a replacement and I didn't have to pay tax saved like 30 bucks. I would just not send back the original wait to get billed. Well lets just say there is a about 3,000 dollars (I never paid for them I know) worth of phones just pending it's been like 6 months or more for most. I thought it had to do with a expired card which is not expired (this is related to the music all access problem I had to update card info) even with a brand new card orders still have not moved.
I'm done with paying google for any services they are too big to have such a stupid system.
Let me get this straight...
You ordered a few replacements and failed to send the original phones back to Google. At which point they kept billing you full price for the new phones they were sending you, accruing to "$3,000" that you still owe Google. Meanwhile, you don't understand why they will no longer honor your $7.99/month all access pricing after your last $7.99 payment failed. And in the end you are angry that Google can't get their "ordering" right?
Your logic is astounding...

Lol good that you are done with Google services. They deserve better buyers. Now pay what u owe Google before start whining again.

I'm definitely not buying this from Sprint directly. Just found out from their pre-order that their off contract price is/will be $449.99, $50 more than the Play Store price. B.S.

It's actually $100 more than the play store since Sprint is only carrying the 16gb version which is $349 at the play store.

...and that's why "subsidised" phone prices w/an exorbitant (and next to useless) contract are a joke... Carriers make out like bandits on that ****, and I wonder exactly what you get for $50/m, Sprint is pretty crap around here datawise, coverage is OK for everything else but T-mo(have them for now, monthly) and Verizon(if they had sanely priced/useful plans I'd go Verizon, awesome coverage even WTF out in the boondocks of the UP) easily do better, hell even AT&T does better here although my sister's phone does ALOT of dropping.

There's already at least one thread confirming this
