Just back with my newest toy from my local Staples. The girl selling it to me was taken back at the price and even rang up a 16GB and chuckled when they were both the same.

Hey, any screen issues with the 32gb? People have noted that there is a spongy affect on the left side when you press on it as well as a ripple affect. They have also noted the light bleed at the top. Any of those?
I was going to pick one up today, but Sandy is almost upon us and I may be without power for a few days, so I wouldn't get to play with it for too long...
PC World/Currys
Purchased today from PC World/Currys for £199.

They have been on sale in the Uk since Saturday - this has passed me by until now!

Bought mine at Office Depot for $250 yesterday (28th).
They are already on display with a price and they had multiples in stock.
Its a C9O and has minimal screen lift.
Also, the 8gb was on sale for $180.

this... staples were all closed in my area today it seems. office depots were open for a bit but said they were sold out this morning. hopefully sandy doesn't do too much damage as it passes through. stay safe!
So far it doesn't look like any stores in Phoenix, AZ are carrying the 32gb yet, but I still have a few places to call. I'll post an update if I get lucky. Otherwise it looks like 3-day shipping from NewEgg is my best bet. Wal-Mart is saying no availability until 11/5 for in-store pickup.
Update 10/29 - found one at the Staples Camelback location in Phoenix. They're not even stocking them on the floor, they're keeping them in the back with a "we have none in stock" sign on the Nexus display.
C90, no lift. Can't wait to root tonight.
I dont notice any issues with QC on mine. Woo hoo.
Staples charging $56 for one year accident protection? Ummm not paying 25% of cost, sorry. Square trade looks like $35 with the Tuesday coupon. 2 years too.
Mine is perfect, no screen lift and color are as bright as my friend 16gb.
Also my sn is CA

Just reserved one at Currys Nottingham Uk, on the page with the item says can pick up tomorrow, but conformation email says I can pick up within an hour of my order, so may pop down before they close and try get it....

New Nexus Case on Play Store
Hi!
I preordered the nexus 7 thinking I didn't want this case. At the time of my preorder, the case was available. I changed my mind, and decided I wanted the case- and almost purchased it, but realized that I'd have to pay shipping all over. I called play support and they told me to cancel my order, and reorder again. I did... but by then, the option to purchase a case was removed. Instead, I was presented with an option to "Sign up to be notified by email when Nexus 7 Cover (Dark Grey) becomes available." I called them again, and they said to wait to preorder, until Monday. However, I realized I'd just buy the case straight from Asus, because they will be offering them in a different color.
Just so you guys know... According to Play representatives the case SHOULD be available Monday. :good:

It was available before, but they removed it. Guess they were wrong. It's not available yet, as the other poster commented. Sucks for them, because I'm not purchasing it from the Play store anymore. Oh, well. They might have had too many people preorder it? God knows lol

I'd like to know this as well.
I originally ordered an 8GB N7 with a case. Decided today that as much as I prefer the price, 8GB won't be enough space, so I ordered a 16GB N7 without the case.
FYI - for those of you that want to preorder this case from google play, if you log into your google account and then click on the link the "coming soon" changes to " add to cart". At least it just did that for me.
I want this case but I'm gonna wait till amazon has it cuz i'm not redoing my nexus 7 order nor am i going to pay $9.99 for 2 day shipping for it.
Wouldn't most of the cases of the kindle fire be fine for this?
I think we'll see more once the device actually releases lol
It fits inside my Kindle Fire case. So I will just use it for my Nexus 7 And not spend another 30 bucks on a case.
oh man. im spending too much money on android stuff. june 1st - bought my first android phone - HTC VIVID.
June 15th - bought my dad an HTC VIVID.
July 3rd - pre-ordered Nexus 7
now looking at cases and tempted to switch to Galaxy Nexus phone as well....

Just got off the phone with Play again. Now, they don't even have a date, which is pretty messed up. A good alternative is Amazon. They do sell a variety of pouches etc. I got this for less than 10$ shipped. Quite worth it, knowing it was designed exclusively for the Nexus 7.
Ordered two nexus 7s from JR to avoid tax/shipping. Which is why I plan on waiting for stuff to hit amazon, no tax and free two day. I hope they make white ones for me and pink ones for my girlfriend.

Got this too, but in black/green. It arrived today and it's actually pretty nice. It might be worth pointing out that it looks like it wasn't designed specifically for the Nexus 7. Here's the product on the manufacture's eStore: http://www.krooinc.com/Tablet/7-eReader-Case/7-Inch-eReader-Sleeve-GLOVE2-Series.html It's listed there as being made for the Kindle/Kindle 2/Nook. Judging by the measurements on the manufacture's site and the ones on the Google Play store for the Nexus 7, it looks like the chances of it fitting are pretty questionable. There's always a risk in buying something from a random company with no reviews.
Most of us who pre-ordered are a little peeved to say the least with how pre-orders were handled. After reading threads about quality issues, etc., with those able to buy from B&M last week, I'd like to know what people's impressions are of the device who ordered from the Play Store.
Edited thread title for clarity...
Did Google hold back to fix last minute issues? Were these a different batch than the retailer-reserved units? We can only speculate.
Most of us will receive the device tomorrow it seems. I personally will not be able to open mine until I return home from business on Friday, but there will be thousands waiting for that UPS guy to show up!
The purpose of this thread, fellow Play Store buyers, is to post your impressions, especially on issues like the left side screen clip, ghosting, flickering, yellow spots, battery life, etc. I'll be adding mine on Friday. Hopefully the vast majority of us have defect free devices. If yours is perfect, post that as well.
What happened? I ordered mine on the 13th, which I guess wouldn't be preorder since it came out that day. lol
I haven't even received a shipping notification yet... No way anything is happening anytime soon, it seems.
Really ticks me off, I have to admit!
Why would I ever want to buy from Google Play again, if other (brick & mortar) stores have already sold out a few days ago?
Besides, it makes me realize how much more professional Apple handles these roll-outs. And I thought only Verizon stinks (see Galaxy Nexus roll-out).

Ya, but from your post, you DON'T HAVE the device.
Be more specific next time. Seems your whining about how your order was processed and being pessimistic about the condition you'll get the device in. Even you say you won't be able to open it for a week.

Got a C6 from Gamestop this Saturday with no issues at all. More happy with the quality of the N7 out of the box than my previous Asus 201 tab
Way to go on reading skills there. Simply read the post and it is clear. My device will be at my house tomorrow, as it will be for thousands of others that ordered from the play store. Whether I'm there or not I open it until 3 days later is irrelevant. I would have created or posted to a thread like this regardless.
QC is a legitimate question to ask for a brand new device and there are some mysteries about this launch that make it doubly valid to find this out.

Gotcha. This should help to see if there's any pattern to QC problems. At this point I'm guessing it's just random though since they are probably all C6's.
I'm very disappointed by the Play store.
1. Stores were able to sell their stock earlier than Google.
2. The $25 credit sounded like an exclusive, which is why I pre-ordered, but looks like every N7 has the credit regardless of purchase location.
3. Shipping cost, why am I paying $19.99 if I can order the same device somewhere else with free shipping and still get the credit.
Thinking of cancelling my order tomorrow and waiting to buy in-store or from another online retailer.

Cmon man... don't post this stuff here. It's not a ***** fest about the pre order. Most of us are upset... there's lots of threads about it.

Shipping box size and how well packed
No I have not received mine yet, but I am asking from those that do to included a description of packaging for all of us (from NZ and AUS) ordering from Google Play USA to determine cost of freight forwarding and/or whether to get them to re pack or not.
Air freight internationally is often charged by volumetric weight this is determined by size not actual weight. We know the Nexus 7 UPS states shipping weight is 1.6 or 1.7lbs.
Can anyone give the size of the shipping box? I estimate from youtube video to be 10 x 7 x 5 inches, can anyone confirm? If so this is a volumetric weight of 3lbs.
Also can someone comment on how well it is packed?
I pre-ordered 2 units from play store as soon as the page was live, I was able to buy a n7 from a B&M store yesterday and I have no word on the status of my deliveries yet from google. I'll post again once I receive the shipment of 2 to let you know if there are any discernable differences.
It's a complete rip, but Daily Steals apparently has stock of Nexus 4's for $499:
http://mobile.dailysteals.com/
MODS: Please collapse this along with the "Nexus 4... Round 2" thread. I apologize for the inconvenience.
List price $799? Really? Assholes...
Lol yep, it's a steal all right. Just for them, not us
Got my galaxy nexus through them. Was the UK model and at a decent price but they are very shady and it took a month from order to get to my door and the shipping part of it was only two days of that. Oh wait a minute, kind of like ordering this phone off the play store...
You can buy it for the same price in a TMobile store tomorrow.

Yeah but sadly we can't, at least not right now.
I ordered mine on eBay from a guy from Germany who managed to buy 2 when they went on sale.
Paid €440 for an 8GB version *sigh* but I'm really fed up with my SIII so it's worth it!
Daily Steals is a legitimate company. I am not saying that they should be charging $500 for this, but I am saying if you order from them you will get it. Be warned however, that it will take 2-4 weeks before you get what you ordered. They are the slowest shipping company I have ever bought from. So, with that being said, by the time you get your Nexus 4 from Daily Steals, it will more than likely be back in stock at the Play Store for $350 +tax and shipping and you will be kicking yourself.
How the HELL did they get stock??? That's pretty shady. The price, as compared to eBay, really isn't that much. Yes, I am aware of the MSRP, but after tax you are paying a ~$100 premium. Worth it for everyone? No. Some? Yep.

This guy is epic. :highfive:
Don't expect a warranty if you by from dailysteals. I got my Galaxy Nexus from dailysteals before the play store started selling it directly. They advertised a one year warranty. Took forever to ship. When I cracked the screen Samsung refused to help me because it was the international version. Had it been the playstore version they would have replaced the screen for $200.

So when they say daily steal, they mean from you right?
They most likely don't have stock and will order the amount sold and then ship to you. They probably have a connect somewhere in the supply chain.
I would ask if they actually have stock.

so for those who have bad experience with wirefly and are looking for a cheap alternative for pre-ordering the HTC One newegg is doing a pretty decent pre-order for new/upgrades in both black and silver variants.
http://wireless.newegg.com/ecommerce/phones/?filterbybrand=208&referringdomain=newegg
in retrospect its a slight price difference being 129.99(newegg) vs 119.99(wirefly)
with their TEP versions being similar pricing
newegg -
$69.99 - Gold Device Protection - billed annually View Details
$7.49 - Platinum Device and Data PLUS Protection - billed monthly View Details
wirefly-
$6.99 - Gold Device Protection - billed monthly View Details
$69.99 - Gold Device Protection - billed annually View Details
additionally newegg does include free next day shipping vs wirefly's free standard
I for one will likely to go with the newegg route pending they are still offering it this friday. as i've had some issues in the past with wirefly.
Already wrote this in another thread, but I just wanted to throw this out there. Newegg Wireless and Wirefly are both run by Simplicity LLC, so you will be dealing directly with Simplicity by pre-ordering through either site. Newegg doesn't actually run through own "wireless" site. Simplicity technically "owns" the site, uses their name, and probably gives them x percentage for using their name and advertising. You can find more information on both websites.

damn thanks for that bit of information, it seemed weird the pre-order looked almost exactly like each other but that makes far more sense
Pre-ordered from newegg earlier today (don't know if im going to keep it over my note 2).. and now my order status says awaiting inventory... don't know if thats normal or they're low on stock.. guess I'll wait and see if it updates as it gets closer to release
So these are supposed to ship on the 19'th, correct? If that's the case, the 'next day' delivery service isn't going to mean much, as the 19'th is a Friday and the next business day is the 22'nd.

They have actually since changed their policy to read "ships when available" instead.
If they do ship on 4/19 though, next day service means you would receive your phone on Monday, while their standard 2-3 (business) day shipping would mean you could receive your phone as late as Wednesday. So it's still technically an improvement!
I ordered the 32GB black and it's since changed from "Ships When Available" to "When Pigs Fly". /s
Anyone else notice the black version isn't even listed any more? I'll be glad if I get it by the end of the month if not by the end of summer. Meanwhile, I will keep checking this thread and lurking in the main HTC One forum.
Edit: Just got an email right after I posted this from whereismyorder.com that the Black is delayed. They will switch me to Silver if I reply. Not sure what I am going to do.
This cache can be cleared, but you must do it manually. This bug can only be fixed with an update from HTC, will they release one?
Great Find!
Thanks OP! Ordered mine yesterday. I originally placed my order on 4/6 through the email that I got from htc, which was actually through Letstalk.com, but I cancelled it as soon as I saw this from Newegg.
I even got the Otterbox Commuter Case and it was still about $30 cheaper than going directly through htc. Great find, thanks!
Fyi. Newegg uses wirefly for their phone service. Your still buying from wirefly.

That is actually incorrect. They are both operated by Simplicity.

Tru,
But when I clicked on one of the privacy policy links it went to the wirefly site.
I thought it was ironic the op was complaining about wirefly but in the end it's all run by the same company.
thank for your information
thank you
pre-ordered one for my sister as a gift
Anyone receive shipping info
I asked Newegg support when I might expect to see it ship. They said they are expecting them to arrive at Newegg on the 19 and ship from their warehouse within 24hrs. Not sure how accurate this is, you'd think they'll want customers to be able to get the device when it launches...

That's a bummer. I was really hoping to have the phone this week, rather than next.
New Nexus 5 owner here. I was a Nexus 4 owner until yesterday. I sold the N4 (8GB) to my co-worker for $200.
Well... I went yesterday to my local Best Buy (Laredo, TX) and went to the Mobile section and this (pretty) lady was at the desk. I told her that I wanted to get a Nexus 5 without a contract, cash. She took the keys and opened a drawer behind her and took the N5. I asked her for the price and she told me it was $450. So, I opened the browser on my phone and searched the N5 on the Google Play Store and told her that Google was selling the phone for $350 and if it would be possible for them to price match the phone. She told me that it was possible. She took my N4 and verified the information. She called the manager (a rocker-tattooed kinda guy) and he authorized the price match. They have to put the store to be matched as Other.
Success!
My recommendations. Be polite. Just act casual and don't be nervous.
Share your stories!
best buy is the only retailer i know that matches the online price of any product. i didnt know the nexus 5 was sold in stores.

Yes, they do match prices of other online stores, but the list of the stores they match is limited. The Google Play Store is not included, so, this is why the price match of the Nexus 5 is YMMV.
From Best Buy:
"Amazon.com, Apple.com, Bhphotovideo.com, Crutchfield.com, Dell.com, Frys.com, hhgregg.com, HP.com, HomeDepot.com, Lowes.com, Newegg.com, OfficeDepot.com, OfficeMax.com, Rakuten.com Shopping, Sears.com, Staples.com, Target.com, TigerDirect.com and Walmart.com. We will match prices between our stores and BestBuy.com®. We will also match prices post purchase if we lower our price within 15 days of your purchase."

Try to flirt or something with the BB employee. I think I did that inadvertently.
Worked for me in Madison Heights, MI Best Buy. Picked up a 16GB Black and sold my 32GB black I had purchased from the PlayStore. I did not need the extra space as I still have 10gb free on my 16gb.
Comes with a Sprint SIM in the phone but no SIM tool, so just used a pin, popped it open and put my AT&T SIM in and have been using it since.
$370.99 out the door after MI 6% tax.

Nice.
When did you get it? I got it yesterday at 7:00 p.m. approximately.
If you can price match the phone at Best Buy, it is a way better deal than getting it from the Play Store. You don't have to pay shipping and you don't have to wait!
Back on November 20th, I believe (receipt is at home) . I had to stay late for an evening meeting and stopped by BB after reading some posts about people PM to BB on another forum. Took all of 3 minutes or so. Manager came over to authorize the $100 price match to online price with no questions.

Its always a gamble......HaHa, see what I did there?
I got Best Buy to price match the day it came out. They didn't really give me any issues. Yes, there is a list of sites they price match, but if it is a reputable site, they don't really care. I also had a $100 BB gift card for switching my electric company, and I sold my N4 for $200. My out of pocket cost was like $70 after taxes..

Now that's a good deal. Hopefully N5 retains a good resale value in a year or 2 as well.

Got a second one for my girlfriend (secret Christmas present) today, price matched at the same store.
Not nexus 5 related, but last year I was able to buy to S3s for 2¢ using price match off an Amazon deal...

Not that awesome,lol. But I did go with sprint and just recently cancelled. They waived my etf by returning the phone, which was a cracked screen disaster. So it was sorta like contract free...:victory:

I'd go in person and say the same thing. When the sales associate won't listen, ask to talk to the manager. Say the same thing to him. When he won't listen, bring up the Play Store, and go to technical specs. At the same time, go to Best Buy's site or Sprint's site and go to technical specs (whichever will show the ACTUAL specs; BB's site doesn't seem to go into too much detail). Then just Google "Nexus 5 versions" or "Can unlocked Nexus 5 be used on Sprint?" and show the results. Basically show them that everyone knows that the devices are identical except them.
Of course, showing them that is no guarantee that they'll honor the price match. As this whole thread states, YMMV when it comes to them price matching.
