So where exactly is the Nexus 3G

Was rumoured to be release within 6 weeks of Early September... which is next week (or so).

Don't be so impatient young padawan!
Everything comes to he who waits.

I honestly don't know why people want a 3G Nexus 7.
It'll most likely be connected to a carrier and I don't get why people want to keep doing that to themselves.

I think they should make one, but off-contract only because it is cheap as it is.

Nice find, shame we can't read the FCC number maybe someone who reads Pinyin ?
That would give the specs.

Well if it doesn't get released before the ipad mini event next week then it will be competing against the tablet market leader who may well have very competitive pricing.
Come on asus / google... don't miss the boat !

I'm hoping for a release before x-mas, but I don't think it will matter that much who releases first. Apple has a strong customer base, and they'll buy the iPad Mini no matter what. I don't think the N7 really is competing against Apple, it's more against the likes of Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 and 7.7 and other similar devices. The Apple products are in a different league.

Apple products are in a different market and in a gated ecosystem.
Apple products are in a different league only in the sense that the hardware is overpriced by 30% and bought by stupid people who think they are clever.

It seems there may be two versions released next week (rumor), one 32 GB WiFi only @ $249 and a 32 GB 3G @ an unknown price...my guess would be $299
So to sum it up:
16GB WiFi @ $199
32 GB WiFi @ $249
32 GB 3G @ $299
I'm just guessing....

Again don't assume that commercial practices are the same everywhere. These strong contracts with carriers for 3G/4G are mainly USA & UK things. I live in Asia and most people only use prepaid short contracts, a week, or a month. If the result is not good or another carrier now propose a better price we just shift to this new carrier. Simple & easy

The Nexus 7 32GB WiFi only model is confirmed at £199.00 in the UK
I'm guessing a 32GB 3G version will be £250.00 to £279.00 tops.
Any more than that and people will be put off.

Anything below £280 will be ok...the Galaxy 7 is the only competion in that pricerange and the screen resolution is too low on that device, so if the N7 can match that price they'll come out on top. The Galaxy 7.7 is the next in line, but it cost almost twice as much for some reason...

Most teardown BOMs put the comms chip anywhere between $5 and $13 so under £250 is doable for a 3G N7

This is where and when they'll announce the 3G N7

LG eating itself alive with Nexus 4

Google and LG most likely make NO money from selling the Nexus 4 at the $299 pricepoint. The Nexus 4 is identical to the Optimus G, which is suppose to be LG's cash cow. Same proc, same screen. Tbe build actually looks nicer on the Nexus 4. The camera is a wash since the 13MP one sucks and the 8MP is identical on both. So literally the only difference is whether you want LTE or not. Is LTE (and a subjectively much uglier design) worth $200+ price premium for the Optimus G? The Nexus 4 also has pure Android which is also a big plus, So why is LG releasing the (much better) Nexus 4 at a no-profit price and undercutting their cash cow the Optimus G? They are barely making squat right now in the mobile phone space. This makes no business sense.

I'm pretty sure LG just builds the phone and gets paid for it, Google probably will sell it close to what they paid to get it built. So LG isn't losing money, Google is just breaking even or maybe barely losing.

Improving their brand image while simultaneously getting their brand name out there?
While not entirely the same, you could argue that with the Galaxy Nexus, it was fighting with the S2 and a little bit of the S3.
Yet Samsung managed to really make their push during that time period. People have tons of horror stories when it comes to LG. If they play their cards right with these devices, they'll have a much brighter future.

The Xiaomi Mi2 will also be selling at a loss ($310 vs a cost of $370), and has pretty much identical specs as the Nexus 4. I think they can manage to break even overall, especially with most sales going to the 16 GB version.

Google pays for it, and then they sell it to us with expensive taxes via Google Play :B

I'm assuming LG developed the phone for a flat contract price to Google.
Google is likely making little to nothing on selling the price.
They are likely straight up buying marketshare for android and enticing people to buy into their ecosystem while they make money off apps, movies, tv shows, music, and ads.

They sure are!
I will mostly likely be dropping the iPhone ecosystem for Android because of the Nexus 4 come November 13th. Eventually I will also convince others who rely on my smartphone knowledge on what to buy to get the Nexus 4. So it has done its job even if Google isn't making a profit off of the hardware. They will eventually make profit off of me from the Google Play content I (and many others I convince) purchase.
Excellent post datwunkid :good:

I think Google is taking the hit and selling it close to cost. You also have to factor in that the retail cost of some phones have carrier markup added in as well so that they can make some extra $$$ off people buying off contract. They're probably selling it close to cost and the Nexus line isn't really a big seller to begin with so nobody's really losing a boatload of money here. LG gets to have their name attached to what is looking to be an incredible Android phone (and DEAD SEXY!!!) which will get them back into the good graces of some of the Android fans out there. Also remember Google is an ad company - selling phones for profit isn't where they're making the lion's share of their money and while I'm sure they care somewhat about how well this device does, it'll barely have any effect on their bottom line.

Let's not kid ourselves. Google is definitely making money here. I know in the retail market, mark-up is routinely 1000%. I wouldn't be surprised one bit if LG can spit these phones out in mass production at $50 a unit or cheaper. Anybody that's had any experience in buying mass quantities knows that Google is making money.
When you see service providers selling phones out of contract for $600-$800, your seeing first hand the companies rape/screw the general public like they do best. Even when you buy a phone for a subsidized price from one of the big four, do you really think that are not still making money off the sale of the unit? Don't kid yourself...

You ever look at any tear downs of phones? The parts on this phone are probably worth two hundred or so dollars, plus assembly, warranty claims, marketing. There will be a thin margin, but it will be there. I don't think many carriers will pick up the phone, so it will only really appeal to people who avoid contracts, anyway.

It makes sense for LG to do it at little to no profit because releasing the phone would help their market and image in the long run if the phone is a success. Google is baking on the consumers to buy apps, books, music, and magazines from their store.

Think of it this way. When it comes to building a pc, you can't build one as cheap as you can buy one from one of the big boys. Plain and simple, they buy parts by the 1000's. These parts are heavily discounted at a contracted, negotiated price when bought this way.
I can assure that NO company is going to put forth the effort for a small profit margin. That's just how the corporate world works. If it doesn't make good/excellent profits, it's simply not worth the time or effort.

y would you complain about something like this though. the price is a good thing :good:

No complaining here! I'm totally stoked about it's price point. Best bang for the buck bar-none in my book! Can't wait to order...

Still I disagree about $50, there are actual documented break down of iPhone 4S hardware cost, is around $180, though the 5 is cheaper. Give the chinese slaves a break.

Well here is the news Google partnered with lg because of the price as they are the only one who agreed to make phone at this price level. Its also get back lg to the market, despite their products are cool but their developers are sucks, lazy people wouldnt work on old devices to bring latest os so people like me promised won't buy lg product ever again, other company like Sony and Samsung refused Google to make smartphone with this spec for this price. But who cares about the partner as long as Google controls the os. I'm getting this as soon as it goes live for sale.

Maybe Samsung doesn't want to create any more nexus phone just because of this. Their Galaxy S line and Note line will be ruined.
The same thing happens with the nexus 10, which is cheaper and FAR more specwise than note 10.1

The iPhone 5 costs about 200$ (16gb I think). I don't think the Nexus will cost much more. So, Google will get money out of this
Google was earning money even with the 16gb a 249$

I you think it costs them that money to make a phone you are mistaken.
I have seen retail buy in prices for handsets in bulk, and those would raise your eye brows!
so manufacturing prices would be much less.

Or maybe one doesn't have enough cash upfront for the whole $350 so they spend $250 ($199 after mail-in rebate) on the phone? Exactly. I have the money and I am on a single plan myself. However, I refuse to eat the upfront cost when I plan on staying with T-Mo anyway and I don't see value in the value plan at all. I planned on getting it from the Play store But unfortunately I have a 7 month old who needs Christmas things and a 9yr old who made straight A's. That extra money can make or break it for a kid. I can get her a Nexus 7 with that extra hundred and change I am saving upfront. See what I mean? Not singling you out but I notice people seem to write off everyone as being "financially endowed" on here kinda. lol. I work for Google (part time and non-Android related) here in Atlanta and even I get NO perks. lol
So People like me don't mind the $250 cost from T-Mo. I am sure that's the case with a LOT of Americans on T-Mo. You have to prioritize yet still get what you want and work hard for. Play Store is a luxury if you can do it and I planned on it. But some folks can't do it.
Next Topic
To be clear on the release date...If you call in T-Mo you can order it on the 14th...Stores is the 15th...Only reason I know this is because I asked Loyalty Department because they offered me a discount due to my bad experience with Customer Care and my 7 exchange warranties on the HTC Sensation with little to no help to get me out of the phone. So they told me to call in at 6am EST on the 14th and order and they'll even throw in free next day shipping and waive the early upgrade fee for my troubles.

It makes no sense to pay 1.5 times for the same phone. Upfront or per month payment. Money is money.
Simple math: Assuming you are on classic plan
500 mins 2 gb data costs 59$
For value plan where you dont get subsidised phone its 44$ for the exact same plan.
15$ per month extra is 15*24months = 360$
So you end up paying 200 +360 = 560 for a 350$ phone. Infact if you are on value plan Nexus 7 will be free as you have 210$ to buy it.
We often neglect 15$ per month extra as we tend to see 350$ as a huge amount.

Tmonews, android police, and Google are my sources. All these sites say that the T-Mobile one won't be tampered with, being the same as the play store one. Again, look at the tech specs of the device on the play store. It clearly is pentaband, and it lists the frequencies. T-Mobile uses the aws band for their 4g, which is 1700/2100
I may have misunderstood your question, so if I did, I apologize

Nexus trade-in program

Would love to see Google offer some kind of trade-in program for Nexus devices, whereby you could trade in your old Nexus device for a discount on a newer Nexus device. For example, being able to trade in a current gen Nexus 7 to get a discount on the updated version expected to be announced at Google I/O this week. Discount would only be redeemable for buying another device from the Play Store, and old devices could be recycled by Google for parts.
Google would develop brand loyalty, ensuring current Nexus owners are more likely to stick with the Nexus line, as well as encouraging others to join the Nexus bandwagon. And we Nexus owners would get lovely discounts on upcoming Nexus hardware.
What do you guys think about this?

As someone who ordered a Nexus 4 yesterday, I would most certainly love to see this.
Especially if a new Nexus phone materialises at the I/O in a few days!

No chance imo

How much more of a discount do you want? This isn't the Galaxy Nexus or Nexus S days where to buy an off contract Nexus device sets you back $500-$600.. A Nexus 4 16GB for $350 unlocked/contract free is dirt cheap and almost in "how do they even make a profit?" territory.. If Verizon had this thing available to kill your wallet with it would be $100 w/ a 2YR contract, $600 retail/contract free and neutered w/ delayed updates and non-functioning Google wallet. Same goes for any current generation Nexus device.. They are insanely cheap already..

Nexus phones don't really reduce it value a lot after time. It's really difficult nowadays to find a new Gnex for less than 250-270$ and a used one in mint conditions for less than 200 (if you even find it).
So I see no point on this as Google will never offer you any amount close to this. So you better sell it yourself and upgrade. That's what I did.

Nexus 6 - still worth it?

Android - I'm coming home! Now to find a phone.
Been looking at the Nexus 6 pretty hard. I don't want LG, and I refuse to pay premium prices for a Haiwei crash-o-matic piece of junk.
Spent some time at Best Buy today fondling a Nexus 6 - love the screen, love the feel, love the speed.
So, nearly a year after it's release, is it still worth it? Thinking about doing another 2 year with AT&T, which would make it $149, or $349 outright through Best Buy.
THoughts?

Plain and simple: Yes
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Forums Pro.

Its as cool to have as an Indialantic beach!

People are still happy with their Nexus 4's for that matter, so I'd say yes, it's still worth it for the next 2 years. Although personally I despise 2 year contracts.

Most definitely. I have a Galaxy S6 and this thing blows it out of the water, except the camera. Way faster, much more support, better battery life.. Although I figured I'd get more than what I do. I'm keeping my eye out on the upcoming Nexus(es) but I have a feeling I'll stick with this and the S6 for awhile.
BTW I just purchased this about a month ago from Swappa. Couldn't stand being locked down with the S6 anymore.

I hope this doesn't mean they pulled it.
If they did my only hope is that they make the Moto X Pure available, but I am doubtful.

Get the unlocked version! That way you have options. IMO, over the next 2-5 years, we are going to see major changes in the way cellular, and probably all technology, services are handled. It would suck to be locked in for the next 2 years.
Im on Straight Talk for $50 a month and using AT&T towers in my area w/ 4g LTE. Unlimited everthing Full speed up to 5g and throttled after that. Unless you are grandfathered in on some amazing deal, being locked in always favors the carrier.
BTW, Best Buy has 6 month interest free financing.

I want the unlocked one, but funding is tight... plus so is the wife's purse LOL
She controls the money in the house so I play by her rules - happy wife, happy life!
Regarding the financing, I tried already - because I had a bankruptcy in the past 3 years Best Buy won't give me any credit (even though every other bank in the free world seems to be throwing it at me!)

My wife about cut me when I ordered our Nexus 6's because of the price haha! But now that she has one I doubt she'll let me get her out of the Nexus lineup from here on out. The Nexus community doesn't seem to die out like our devices often do. The hardware really isn't that dated. I admit the camera is a bit lacking on this device. Finding a case can be a challenge if you're a destroyer of phones like myself. But the speed, screen and speakers on this phone are amazing!
Case wise I had to get a unicorn beetle. It has saved my phone twice now.

I contacted AT&T via Facebook - all they could tell me is that it wasn't available right now - which doesn't necessarily mean that they will not have it again, just that it's not available NOW. Go figure...

New Nexus is coming out later on this month or next month. It's made by Huawei. Guess AT&T have just unloaded all their old stock. Amazon and ebay sellers are doing the same.

Android - I'm coming home! Now to find a phone.
Been looking at the Nexus 6 pretty hard. I don't want LG, and I refuse to pay premium prices for a Haiwei crash-o-matic piece of junk.
Spent some time at Best Buy today fondling a Nexus 6 - love the screen, love the feel, love the speed.
So, nearly a year after it's release, is it still worth it? Thinking about doing another 2 year with AT&T, which would make it $149, or $349 outright through Best Buy.
THoughts?
