Just letting everyone know that I was able to pick up a Nexus 4 at a t- mobile retail store. At first they told me they were in stock but couldn't be sold yet. About 10 minutes later this story changed and they said they could sell it to me. Pricing is different than buying directly from Google but it is available.
This was in Raleigh North Carolina.

My local T-Mobile also has a few Nexus 4's in stock. I'm with AT&T though so I don't know if it has any T-Mobile bloatware on it or not.
Was the pricing full retail for TMO or Google?
$549 for the 16 GB Nexus 4 at my local T-Mobile.
Full retail unless you go with a "classic contract". But the classic contracts are inflated and cost more in the long run.
I have not found any bloatware.

I purchased one at the College Station, TX TMo store. It has zero bloatware. Also, it rooted just fine and is already running cm10.1. this is a pretty incredible phone.

Are you with T-Mobile or AT&T?
There is no bloatware on the T-Mobile nexus 4. I have one and there is no T-Mobile crap on it.

Fore that much money, you could have bought a bnib nexus 4 on amazon and a charging stand or 3. Why would you pay that much?

Well I didn't buy it. Thats the price they told me when I called a couple hours ago.
$500 plus tax at 10% is about $550. Seems a little high... Maybe that's with activation?

If you're in Lansing, MI there are a few Nexus 4s in stock at the T-mobile at Frandor Plaza. Hit up Kerry, he'll hook you up. :good:
I just picked mine up from T-Mobile. New promotion at work demanded the capabilities of a smartphone for email. Works paying for it so might as well get the phone I want and not wait
I was at CES and knew from the rep there it would be in stores by the 16th. Thanks BTW from the dude with the white helmet. Managed to hold off on getting a smartphone since they came out. Yay me for being poor till now.
I tried the Droid DNA and hated Sense. This thing is beast.

Yeah they have it at a couple of stores here in San Antonio for $218 with a 2 year upgrade or new line/contract.
I was just going to buy it outright. But I decided to let my companies monthly cell expense pay for the phone via contract.

No bloatware. It is the same n4 that you can get from the play store.

tmobile has them in stock for this price or it was problematic to get one?

T-Mobile doesn't sell it in this country as O2 have exclusivity over it for one month.
I wouldn't buy on contract anyway, it's a rip-off. PAYG is a rip-off too. The only price that is reasonable is the Play Store.

I got mine for free through HTC's Champions program. 250 deposit that they refund part of when you send your qualifying device back to htc. I'm lucky enough to have a Note II that is offering a full deposit refund :good: The downside of this program is I have to wait 2 weeks for them to ship it out to my store Not sure if the program applies to sprint corporate though I'm a 3rd party store.

It would appear this is the case, on the site they specifically sate "does not apply to corporate" and only list Preferred/Platinum dealers on the approved dealer list.
So, can employees buy it? Not some HTC program. I mean is it available for employees of Sprint to purchase from our company on our computer at work.
I am only asking because I live on the far side of town from the employee store. I would hate to make the trip for no reason.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
No not yet. They put it up through there site to get people to trade in there galaxy s3 straight up (htc rep said it was aimed at the s3)
It might be a little while inventory is strained and still no black available. But on a positive note they have been quicker with employee availability minus the iPhone

Its only through there site you pay them 250 for the phone they send it, you send yours in and they cut you a check for it

My understanding is (got this confirmed by corporate when trying to get iPhone 5) that even if you buy the handset full price even if directly from manufacturer, you cannot activate it on an employee account or you risk getting on corrective action up to termination. This was huge deal when the EVO 4G came out. A manager in my district almost got fired for this...
Wait until sprint sprint sends communication to employees that you can buy it for swac accounts. Just my .02 cents

I had no problem activating mine on a sero plan through sprint's online chat. Idk how sprint corporate works but I dont see why it would be an issue.
I don't think that is true. I have bought numerous devices and activated them before they were available to employees.
BTW, any word on if this is available yet?

Of the many details leaked about the next nexus, is a rumor that it's coming to Sprint. http://gadgets.ndtv.com/mobiles/news/nexus-5-leaked-in-new-image-revealing-side-panel-439334
What do you guys think? Assuming it's true, would you still stick with your HTC One?

I don't think I would take it on Sprint's network. I am getting it though, I plan on getting it unlocked and most likely on t mobiles network. I love my ONE. and have no issues with sprint :thumbup:, but I want to try the 'google ' experience again. Loved the galaxy nexus. Until it broke..

I'll be getting one as well. If its on Sprint, even better...especially since it will be tri-band and compatible with Spark.
It already passed through the FCC supporting all of Sprint's cdma and lte bands among others, this was back in August before the info got pulled. So even though it hasn't been officially announced for sprint I don't see why it wouldn't come to sprint when it supports all of sprints frequencies.

Sent from my One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
only thing im hesitant about is the weak IR blaster compared to the ONE and the lack of an awesome TV app!
if it has tri-band Sprint LTE, I'm dumping my One.
I'm almost certainly going to stick with my One, as the spec bump isn't big enough to justify switching, and I'm really enjoying this phone. However, what really excites me is that there is at least a chance now that going forward, nexus devices will be on sprint. I can wait and see how this one plays out, then at the end of next year when the nexus 5 squared or 6 or whatever it is is announced, I will have a cheaper, easier way to upgrade early. Also, should something catastrophic happen to my one, I would have the option to just get a nexus as well.
In the past all nexus devices for Sprint were released a year later then it's gsm counterpart. If this happens again then its a definite no from me.
Its already passed thru FCC with triband(Spark) so i getting it....
Eh it's a nice phone but I would get bored with it. There would be no reason to flash a Rom.

Seeing as how the Nexus 5 unlocked from the play store can work with Sprint, who here is planning on jumping to that phone? Pros/cons?
And with most gs4s selling on Craigslist in my area for 400, might end up being an even trade. Has me considering jumping to lg. Even though I've never had an lg device, my experience with the gnex was great.

I bailed
Expecting my N5 to reach me on Wednesday. I kept my S4 on MF9, rooted (didn't install MJA), and put it on CL clearly indicating that. I put it on there today for 500, and I have 2 offers (who indicated that they wanted it as it is - without installing 4.3 - must be familiar with the KNOX issues after installing MJA).
Of course things can change till money changes hands, but so far so good! Ordered N5 using discover card, for a 5% cashback, so that worked out even better.
so we can purchase the the device through play store and just transfer our sprint phone line?

Or at least knock $100.00 off it.
By way does anyone know if they drop the no contract price by $100.00 as well. I just bought my no contract one only 6 days ago.

Not likely. I would think the discount is an incentive for new customers or for people looking to sign a new 2-year contract agreement. The last paragraph of the article could use some clarification, though.

What do you wanna bet that Samsung made out better than HTC did with this stupid deal.
I know several people that were interested in this deal and they were sold out, so guess what they came home with !!
A Samsung.
How could you start something like this with out good stock?
And they are probably low on stock because of all the early faulty units.
