Whats weird about the picture lol of the Nexus 4?
I hope no one buys this device from retailers. If anything, retailers sell it for the same price as google will. I'll be purchasing the N4 in the next few months because i feel like they will pull another nexus 7 move and release a 32GB version in the next few months for the price of the 16GB Version. Im still sad about it.
Don't mind the thread. Just a little fun until the device releases.
EDIT: the joke is.. why is there a big *** blue samsung sticker above the phone? And hey, they will sell you a replacement battery for the nexus for since removing the battery is noob friendly for an additional 60$. Whose stoked to buy?
Samsung? Lol

I like how it has LG written right above samsung. Also the quad band radio if you want to get picky
The consumer is likely an idiot if he pays that price for it too...

Hm... that retailer ships worldwide. That is probably why the price is high? ( some countries are not able to buy devices from google play store and people are willing to pay more? )
Ebay users that ship worldwide are selling it for $500+ too. ( before shipping )

Anyone notice the extra battery option for $60? This retailer seems stupid though so it's probably nothing. No clue how you could easily swap batteries..

Great retailer...
Samsung LG...Copied + Pasted info from Google Play (notice how it is incorrectly formatted and doesn't fit in the page's margins)...Massively Overpriced...need say more?
The Samsung logo is there on purpose to confuse consumer, people only know two brands, Apple and Samsung, most never even heard the name Android and can't grasp a concept of what an operating system is. So LG and Nexus are not enough buzzwords but a Samsung is. This retailer has horrible ethic.
Hey they're on Devon Ave in Chicago the Indian street...lol. Yeah I wouldn't trust this retailer. All of the electronic stores in that area are pretty fishy...only if you're desperate.
Hahaha SAMSUNG LG GOOGLE
Hope no one buys it
Hey, it has free shipping anyway
But dang, just take a look at the other phones they offer and their prices. I know a iPhone 5 might be a bit pricey, but I'm pretty sure a 16GB model isn't worth $1,099.99 lol; and even a Galaxy Tab 10.1 (which is a bit dated) is worth the same price...
smh
So I'm watching football and just saw the Lebron James Note 2 commercial. At the end, they said now buy one get one free flip cover from Verizon. Don't see this on the Verizon website or the Samsung website. Anyone have any luck with this, or my ears just playing tricks on me.
Every store I've been to is OOS.

I saw the same thing, went to verizon store and they knew nothing about it and can't find it online, I was thinking I dreamed it up while watching football till I saw your post, lol. Chatted online with a verizon rep and they said there was no such promo?
I saw the commercial also. Been waiting for it to come back so I can take a pic. Told my friend about it but he got the same answer from Verizon, that they can't find the promo or haven't heard about it!

Went to the Verizon store and asked them about the BOGO offer on the cases. They were clueless even though one of the reps said he SAW the commercial. Went to the car and called Verizon, after being on hold for ten minutes they came back and told me it was a T-MOBILE COMMERCIAL. What? What a fail.
Jen:laugh:
Video of the commercial
I was able to take a video of the commercial. Here's a link for all: http://db.tt/Z48cbO5b. Now go show those idiots this evidence!

I saw the commercial too. I'm going to try the store near me tomorrow. Wonder if you need to be a Verizon customer...lol. Going to walk in with my ATT phone.
It's on the Verizon website. You have to log into your account, go to accessories, select your phone model, then View All Accessories. If i'm not mistaken, when I saw it, the colors are green and teal... I was going to jump on it, but the colors are tad too feminine for my taste.

The Flipcase are a very nice Cases, but the Handling is not nice for me ,and when the Phone drop that dont help great....but one price for 2 is Hot
I could probably rock the mint and sell the sky blue one yet at that rate I might as well order it from Samsung with the 50% off

Well, I hate to be posting this in a topic I have no idea if it will fit here. But I am looking for answers before i take a dive. I've been emailing this dude on Backpage and have been thinking about going through with a deal for a T-Mobile Note 2 for 350. Which honest to god seems too good to be true.I went on there because I heard that you have to pay for a membership to get in and I figured, why would this guy have a membership and be able to legally scam people if he wasn't legit? He's also telling me to go through Google Checkout and that there will be an email that i have to reply to that says that my payment will be secure and insured. (Obviously, I've never used it before.) Ships from Romania and after I get the package I have 30 days to return it to get my money back.
My question is, Should I go for it? I really need a new phone since my SGS II is having trouble holding a charge and my wife is giving me the ok to go ahead and do it, but honestly, seems too good to be true. He says he has friends in the factory and a contract with UPS to get cheap shipping. :x Help me out guys?

In all honesty, Don't take the deal? Says I have before the 15th.
A lot of people do that, if you google these kinda deals, you will find that a lot is a scam, they offer low prices cause they buy in bulk, but in the end either you will get a empty box or a china version of the same phone
Not necessarily I brought a nexus one off amazon as a temporary device for only 100$ and turned or fine
Account taken over by Ponies HELP?!?!
Here is an idea that requires everyone to participate.
Plan: Try and get Best Buy to sell you a Nexus 5 before official launch. Maybe they have stock already.
Action: Call your local Best Buy and act dumb. Tell them you want to buy the Nexus 5 and to put one on hold for you to pick up. Or walk into a store if you prefer and do the same. Ask them if perhaps they have a Nexus 5 sitting in the back of the store. Make no mention of the fact that it hasn't officially been announced for sale.
I forget exactly which phone was sold before it was officially released a years or so ago. I remember reading that this guy got a phone before time and he was a bit nervous about it but posted details online about it. So this is possible people! If you remember this incident and the phone remind us.
If everyone does it we might get lucky and have more info to share on the Nexus 5.
Of course report back if you are successful. It might even be fun to report the failed outcomes too. Be creative. See if you can snag an inventory screen shot. See if at least they tell you that they are back there but that they can't be touched.
PS - Don't be that guy. If you think this is a stupid plan be polite. Offer your opinion and insight in a respectful way. You can't say it isn't possible because this has happened before. Sure there are practices in place to prevent this. But all it takes is one rookie mistake and things go unexpected. This is all in good fun. We might get lucky!

Who told you it was going to be sold at Best Buy? I see you have a N4, did you get that at Best Buy too?
We don't know if Best Buy is going to sell the Nexus 5. But they might. They sell all the other Google products (Nexus 7, Chromecast, Chromebook, etc). We also know from a particular Canadian store that there is Nexus 5 inventory. So the Nexus 5 isn't going to be exclusive to the Play Store. None if this is definite for Best Buy, but it can't hurt to try our luck. Perhaps Google learned from the N4 launch that Play Store only sales is bad way to launch a product.
... And I got my N4 and N10 from the Play Store on launch day.

UK CarPhone Warehouse has 3,000 in stock according to a leak , I wonder if it would work there as in best buy? Does it depend on how clueless the staff is?
I think there is a definite possibility it will be sold at Best Buy. Google seems to be taking a different direction with this phone. More hype, and evleaks posted that it is going to be available on Sprint..
a friend of mine who works at BB as a manager told me they are expecting to sell the phone, but that they have yet to receive any units and might not get them until after its already out. This is on LI NY btw

If they're going to sell the phone it should be in their inventory systems; it's an easy thing to check.

Very true, that's why I find it's hard to believe that they'll have the N5 at launch. Someone should've posted a picture of the inventory already. I know I would if I was still there. (Like for the Wii's and PS3's.)
I'm pretty confident they are. I visit my local BestBuy yesterday and asked a customer service rep. He said he knew what I was talking about and went to ask his manager if he could sell it. When he came back 2-3 minutes later, he told me suddenly he wasn't permitted to talk about it because it's not official, so he couldn't legally converse over it. I'm going to try back at another location and see if I can get someone to pop early there, I also got my Nexus 7 2013 48 hours before launch just because I asked. Some guy went in the back and got it for me. Worth a try I suppose.

By any chance you purchased your N5 with a credit card (Amex)? I know with Amex they will give you 60 days on lost or accidental warranty. This is one of the reason why I purchased my N5 with Amex
That sucks. Many don't know this but many credit card companies offer insurance for cell phones. My Wells Fargo credit card, not debit, automatically covers my phone with no monthly premium as long as I pay my bill with that card. Brilliant!

I think it's just if you pay in US dollars, so those of us abroad can't use AMEX.

+1 for the 'have your credit card company pay for the fix' idea:
I did the same thing with my Nexus 5 three days after recieving it, and my credit card has 'purchase protection' for 90 days after I buy something. I called in, told them I dropped the phone, sent the invoice from LG to them, and I just got a check for $146 paying for the repairs.
Also, once you do get it fixed, I highly recommend this case: http://www.amazon.com/Spigen-Neo-Hybrid-Case-Nexus/dp/B00EV8Y684/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1389588258&sr=8-2&keywords=spigen+nexus+5

Did you get to keep yours in the mean time? That would be an important factor to me seeing as everything works the screen is just cracked.
I found this http://www.etradesupply.com/lg-nexus-5-lcd-screen-and-digitizer-assembly-with-frame-and-battery.html all I would have to do is add the motherboard and snap everything back into place. If I can save some money, time and my nerves I'd just send it to LG.

I had to ship it to them and then they came back with a quote. Seems like that was other people's experience from what I read around the net. $146 seems to be the standard charge. Was without the phone for approximately 3 weeks, but it was right during the holidays too.
That link is interesting, had I seen something like that I may have been tempted. Mine had damage to the side of the case too, so I just sent it back and went back to my gnex for a few weeks.
UPDATE:
sorry for the long long delay in the update. So i purchased it through amazon for 29.99 with a sprint upgrade.
Discover would only refund 29.99 because that is how much i 'paid' for the phone.
so long story short, use a case or just be careful with your phone. or do both
annnyways on on the htc one m8. kinda miss the nexus 5.
