I bought Nexus 7 16g few days after Google launched it in £199 and now it's £159!!
I bet we all have the same feeling and I want to share them ;(

Yes, we all have the same feeling, the Nexus 7 is a fine piece of hardware and it was indeed worth every penny I paid for it, I'm too grown up to care what other people pay for theirs..

I just wish I had known there was a 32gb coming considering I bought my N7 a month ago. I need more space than 13gb of usable memory, that's like 5 hd games.
I think this is part of the reason behind the Google Play $25 credit honestly, so really I only paid $225

Glad I waited, just bought the 16GB.
-Brought to you by Marino's Galaxy Nexus-

What bothers me is that the resell value was slashed. I mean if you bought a 16gb for $250+tax, you could probably resell it for $225 on top of all of initial offerings we've gotten from Google. Now it is $199, you'd be lucky to get $175 for it. Plus with the upgraded memory people aren't going to want the 16gb so you'll have to practically give it away.
Oh well. Life is full of surprises. They should have just came out with a 16/32gb unit out of the gate and stop screwing around with 8gb. Memory is so cheap now-a-days that it is pathetic that we allow manufactures keep us in this rut. I mean I had 16gb CF in my old Dell x51v Windows 5.0 "palmtop" haha. Honestly units SHOULD be coming in as 32/64gb these days... or even 64/128gb.
Media consumption is getting deeper and deeper. With games using 4gb each, 8/16gb just don't cut it without sacrifice.

Full agree on that post. But ive learned my lesson, i will wait at least till Christmas to get a Nexus 4 and closely watch the rumors.

Welcome to the world of consumer electronics. It is a game that is impossible to win. There will always be better devices and lower prices right around the corner.
All we can do is jump into the pool and enjoy the swim. It's pointless to waste time getting tweaked about the kick ass slide and diving board at the neighbors pool.

I will second that. I do not regret paying full price for mine. That's always the price you pay for buying tech. It gets cheaper and specs always improve. Give it a few more months and there will be something better and cheaper on the market, that I have no doubt.
If your happy to pay the price when you did, then where's the problem.

I bought mine 3 days before price change at GameStop and called back and spoke with a manager today who said he would take care of it.

Nope. Got what I paid for at an UNBELIEVABLE price.
If they dropped the price to $1, I would still feel the same but would buy more

July: Use the cloud**, you don't need more than 16GB!
**cloud available in US only
October: We put our smartest people in a room and came up with a genius idea: 32GB! All the storage you've always wanted all along!

I bought a 16gb at launch. Sold it on Friday last week for $150, bought my 32gb the next day.

ive got a 16gb one and have all my music and books in the cloud,im from uk its not only usa who get cloud ,overall im happy with what ive got and hardly touch my s2(32gb) anymore apart from calls and im due an s3 mid november that will be wasted in my pocket

im stuck
I sold my 16gb nexus 7 to my roommate because 16gb was to small for me and i want to buy the 32 gb version
But i also want the nexus 10 or the new chrome book as a replacement for my Transformer prime
the Transformer prime is ok especially for what i do (I use it for school/occasionally web surfing) but it has no real upside. it still lags, and slows down for no reason.
Anyone have any ideas what should i do?
Im thinking nexus 7 and probably the chromebook, its got the same processor and ram.

I'm being philosophical about this.
I bought the 16GB version three months ago so I've certainly had my money's worth.
Wife seems disinterested in having my N7 to make way for a 32GB upgrade and then Google announces the N4 16GB and I need to upgrade from my HD2 anyway.
Wife needs to upgrade her phone, too, so she can have the HD2.
My N7 still has about 6GB free space and that's with a lot of apps and stuff which would usually be on my phone.
Once I've bought the N4 and moved a lot of apps and stuff over to that there will be sufficient room on the N7 for my needs.
Plus there's still OTG and Drop Box ... Or VPN to my own local server ..

HTC One or Nexus 5?

So, I have a best buy junk out coming up for my One. This should be happening in the next week or so.
I was told I can get any phone in store that is of equal or lesser value, then get the difference in store credit if lower. So, do I get the Nexus 5 32 gig and take the $250.00ish store credit?? I'm kind of leaning that way, but I have been an HTC fanboi for so damn long that I'm a-scurred! lol
Any thoughts would be appreciated!!
Peace.

what makes you think the camera quality will be worse. Aside from low-light, i don't think the one camera is all that good. Software is pretty good though.

Just read this... that gift card is lookin' good.
Sprint said it will sell a tri-band 4G LTE version of the freshly announced Nexus 5 starting on November 8 for $149.99 with a new two-year contract. Customers interested in the brand new smartphone can pre-order the device today. Meanwhile, T-Mobile will also sell the device (we’re still waiting on pricing information) and Best Buy, Amazon and RadioShack will all sell it unlocked starting at $349.99 for the 16GB model or $399.99 for the 32GB version.

I'm just hoping I can get one off contract, then let mine expire in May. I will miss all the Devs that do great work on our HTC phone. (and you too.) LOL

Don't need to buy on contract
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk

From what I read earlier, Sprint will be offering the Nexus 5 for $199 w/ $50 MIR with contract or you can buy it form them for MORE than what you'd pay if you bought directly from Google... Somewhere around $550. If you're taking the contract route it's cheaper, but you get screwed if you buy it from them. I just purchased my Nexus 5 32GB for $438 and may, or may not, be switching to T-Mobile cause I guess I roamed too much?

I'll stay with the ONE and wait for the M8.
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk

My One is available for upgrade today lol

I use my one for everything and it has yet to let me down. Sometimes pictures could be better but the way I look at it, it's a smart phone, not a digital camera. If I want high quality digital photos then I should probably use one of those. What does impress me about the camera though is how good the low light photos turn out. Unmatched. The other thing I feel can't be beat is the front speaker sound quality. Front speakers do make a huge difference! Beats with viper4android makes this phone sound awesome! I've yet to hear a handheld device sound better. Until another phone manufacturer comes out with front facing stereo speakers that sound at least as good as these I'll be sticking with the one series.

Not sure how reliable this is, but in an online chat with Staples yesterday, I was told they would be selling it also. No word on pricing, but I will probably get one when they get in stock (company account at Staples = easier to justify and write off). For the time being, I plan on getting a TMOB prepaid SIM and using it as a second phone line. If I like it enough, it may replace my One.

sorry, double-post

yes, I am sure it won't go as high as G2, since the G2 price is on 6.5M I am sure the N5 will be in 5-6M range if not the same price as N4 when first released here back in january.
Not sure which version will be released here tho, but let's hope it will be the 32GB version.

well let's hope it stays that way to get buyers attention.. a phone with Snapdragon 800 for under $600 is considered a steal even in indonesian standard..
heck, even my LG G2 (which is basically a N5 with a bigger battery, an IR Port, and 13 megapixel camera) is about $100 cheaper than the Z1.. and a whole $200 cheaper than the Note 3..

The "luxury item tax" sucks in this country. (pajak barang mewah in Indonesian)
If LG decides to bring it here, I think it'll be priced at IDR 5,499,000 and IDR 5,999,000 for the 16GB / 32GB variant respectively. Not sure when, but since there's this Indocomtech event going on right now and they are advertising the G2 a lot, I think we'll have to wait until the craze about G2 dies down before they bring it to Indonesia. I mean why would they bring a cheaper phone when they have G2 right?
I have a credit card but I'm not sure how I feel about ordering online via Play Store / Amazon / eBay. If there's a holdup at the airport that would suck. I may even have to end up paying more money just to get that phone "released" from the custody of stupidly retarded corrupted people.
I have a few friends in the US that travels back and forth though, so I'm actually thinking of asking them to get one for me.
Anyone knows if the it can be used in Indonesia though? I'm kind of afraid there's a difference in network bands.
Anyway, with all that said, maybe we can all try to rush LG by perhaps, mentioning the existance of Nexus 5 via Twitter (@lgmobileid) or their Facebook fan page
Perhaps if they see there are dozens of people wanting this phone badly they'll speed up the release.
Oh well, here I am hoping and crossing my fingers as each day goes by :fingers-crossed:

I am good as long as the price is not cross 6M mark.
No it's not luxury item tax, it still under consideration by government, not yet become a policy. and the pricing in non-play store country is almost the same because it sells by LG and warranty is goes to LG not Google.
I am not sure but G2 has better camera and more mainstream device here, who cares about Nexus here lol
I am not yet seeing any person using N4 here btw in Jogja.
I am pretty sure it is usable here, it's all the same except the cdma variant and LTE bands which is still not available yet here.
It's like nexus 4 case, a lot of people including me force them to release it quickly or at least give us the date but they still quiet until it's released back in January, I guess it will be the same in this case.
so we still has 2 months left to wonder about the price and release date, and there is still hope for dollar to get weak, and back to 10k.

how was the price of nexus 4 back then when it was released on indonesia?
I hope the price can be below 5m, it is retarded if it goes up to 6m what is that stupid tax someone said about? I mean I saw a lenovo k900 advertisement on kompas today priced at 4m, NOT FAR from ebay or another online price I saw from googling, thus if lenovo phone price can be reasonably on par with international 'standard', why can't nexus 5???
if the ridiculous inflated price do happen, what is the cause? don't tell me that phones taxes are somehow tied with the phones' specs, that is utterly retarded beyond idiocy
now anoyher matter is availability, will normal phone shops here have nexus 5? how about the services and warranty, who is going to cover for them?
also can indonesian buy nexus 5 directly from google?

I heard from singapore forum, we can order N5 from australia's google playstore and then get it ship to Indonesia.
I got friend that can buy me the phone and when she comes back, I can have my N5. But can it really work with our carriers?

sigh, unfortunately I can't wait, my current phone is dying, actually originally I've been waiting for these new high end phablets especially the htc one max but htc dropped their balls really really harf with such underwhelming specs, not to mention htc phones are as expensive as samsung here I think, one of the reason I was hoping for htc because of their sense, been a long time admirer of it since touchflo days with winmo but surprisingly never owned an htc device lol... just when I finally about to get one they came up with rubbish phone lol.
don't like the bloatware infested samsung phones as well as their annualy rising apple like insanely high prices
lg g2 is quite nice but I don't like their ui too, as well as their less than average software updates support
then there is sony phones, for some time I liked sony ericsson very much on the days of P800-900 as well as the very first xperia phone but their current fetish with water proof phones just put me off, report says they have terrible sounds as well as underwhelming display, I don't like the ui either lol
so in a way, nexus 5 is my last hope for a 2013 flagship phone, either this or I'll wait to see the next htc flagship which is probably still 6+ months away unfortunately
overall it's sucks to be in this position lol

it is normal for modern smartphone, only the downside for me is development, development on N4 is almost reach its max, and everything will be steady, no more surprise whatsoever.
I tried my friend's S4, it's hot when playing game, not N4 hot but it is plastic while n4 is glass.
try to undervolt the cpu it will be much cooler, never had any heat issue unless the phone is constantly searching for signal cause i am in poor coverage area which is pretty normal on any phone.

It's not that it's too good to be true, it's that $649 is a ridiculous price to begin with.

Sell your S IV and buy a Nexus 5 (if you can find one in stock). I'm reasonably certain that you won't be disappointed. I've had my Nexus 4 for almost a year and it's been a great phone. Looking forward to switching to the N5 when it arrives in a couple of weeks.

True. I returned my iPhone 5S yesterday and ordered the Nexus 5.
Unless you stick to the upgrading every 2-years at subsided pricing, Google has the best pricing as far as I see.

Let's just be happy there was no 8GB version. Otherwise the 8GB would have probably started at $349 and bumped the other 2 up by $50.
The Nexus device is not really meant to compete with the S3 or G2 at this point. The Nexus device is really meant for devs to create on pure Android and Google is willing to eat profits for that. In the meantime all the non-devs and phone geeks get to enjoy a great phone at a great price.
If Google wanted to sell this phone like there was no tomorrow and compete with Samsung you would have seen some crazy marketing done by them prior to the launch. Instead, there wasn't even a peep out of Google and it silently just showed up for sale. To me that says they are not trying to take over the world with device sales.
I think their probably more interested in making profits on devices through Motorola. These are just some of my opinions and really doesn't represent anything more then that. Only Google really knows the answer to the who, what, where, when and why's. Just accept you are getting a great phone at a great price.

you know it only cost Samsung 240 dollars to build 3? and look at the price of that. ridiculous. I am grateful for the nexus line of phones. even with some compromises . I am done spending that kind of money on phones anymore

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

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.

Hmmmm... I just looked at the AT&T website - it was there last night, not there this morning.
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.
