Looks like at least initially this isn't available in the US. Recommendations for where to buy that the shipping and handling isn't as much as the device proper?

Last I read AT&T in the US would be carrying the device. Nevertheless it should be shipping out today (12th Nov) from UK online retailers, popular ones include:
http://www.clove.co.uk/samsung-galaxy-camera
http://www.handtec.co.uk/search.php...ra 8gb&xPriceFrom=0&xPriceTo=0&xSort=&xPage=2
to name a couple.
The price relevant to you is the one excluding VAT. Good luck! I'm looking forward to seeing some sample pictures and videos before making the jump!
You can buy it now in at&t retail stores in USA. I bought mine already. It awesome. Sample pics and vids in the general section.

Did they force you to get a data plan, or were you able to buy it by itself? Website is not at all clear on that point, and I don't trust the stores to know the policy, so figure best to go in with an example or two
Also, did you give any thought to a Nokia 920? It seems to me the Galaxy Camera is a camera with some phone functionality, and the 920 s a phone with some camera functionality. But not clear from images I've seen posted that either is significantly better than the other in image quaity, which is making it hard to jump one way or the other.
No I didn't need a data plan I live in Mexico, so I can't have a US data plan. The lady at the store at first didn't know they even had the camera there, because it was the day when it came out. But once she saw the camera, she knew I could buy it without a plan.
There are some people saying that they've been told at stores that you do need a plan, but as far as I know you don't. We talking to a manager or something can help.

Hi is it unlocked version?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
I found one AT&T store that wanted to force me to have a data plan, but after a new store got some in stock, I tried them, and after going into a huddle for 20 minutes or so they decided I could buy one without the data plan.
I did wonder about getting one with a data plan then doing early termination of the plan (which the AT&T web site says you can do at no charge if it is within 14 days, but fortunately I didn't have to try that .

At least the EBay one is only $30 more than AT&T. The Amazon one is almost $200 more
Think I'll give AT&T a try first given that's the case. I don't need unlocked since I will be using with my MiFi in WiFi only anyway.
Any ideas to sign up as a new customer on Sprint and port a phone number from an existing Sprint account?
Background:
I was using my brother's account. Initially, he got a nice discount through work, then his work offered to pay for his service but with another carrier. So he let me use his discounted Sprint line, which is still in his name except I pay that bill. I'm interested in the HTC One, Sprint is offering $100 off for new customers, but I don't want to change my phone number from the one I've been using. Sprint's chat service said this can't be done after discussing several scenarios... And that's fair because more people like me would abuse the system. Just wondering if there's something we didn't look at. If not, no problem. I'll either come bite the bullet because this seems like an awesome phone or I'll wait for the next best thing that will support Sprint's 800 Mhz LTE network for 2014.
Thanks
port your number to any prepaid service, then port in to sprint?

dont think that will work. if you port back within 30 days they reactivate previous acct/contract. by the time youre considered eligible for "new" pricing the promo will be over.
Does it not work for add a line either? If not, I believe wireflyfriends.com does.

is ur contract up? , i just did that and they gave me a $100 credit for each line i per-ordered it for. Just called cancellations and explained that i would like to stay with sprint and upgrade the the one but if im not getting the port in credit, i would cancel my line. (all lines are out of contract). The rep just said hold on... came back in 2 min and said she applied the credits to my current invoice and i could just go ahead and pre-order the phones . Which the htc deal and the port in credit...i just got them for a sweet deal.

Just a heads up. I ported my number to t-mobile prepaid on 3/26 and was able to get the $99 dollar upgrade. Confirmed I was eligible via chat. So it might work for you if you do it soon.

The agents I spoke with after calling cancellations, being transferred, then transferred back to cancellations wasn't helpful at all. He offered to waive any fees but said the only promo on the phone was for new customers only. I'm planning on trying again and will most likely ask for a supervisor. It seems that they really could care less about those of us out of contract but still giving them money month after month,,,

After looking at that link above I just realized one of the leaked pictures was actually from Malaysia.
Now I wonder if it'll be released in my country (Indonesia) as well. I may be hoping but I'm not hoping much at all. Indonesia is like one of the least "Google-cared" country. We get new devices so late it's not even new anymore.
Then again it might be our retail shops / carriers that just went full retard and think "Meh, who the hell buys Nexus in this country anyway? Why should we rush to get this phone in?"
Damn it
I might get one from Singapore if it was released there, though. Should there be any problems warranty is much easier to process (I fly back and forth every few months).
I asked singtel on their fb page. Their response:
Dear Jeremy, thank you for your interest. Do keep a look-out! Please be assured that we will keep you informed once we have an update. Thanks
"do keep a look out" sounds rather promising, but I'm only cautiously optimistic
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
It sounds like a rather generic response to me...
But I'm not gonna buy w contract though. Seems like I'm the only one amongst my friends w 12gb data cap.. And I'm not gonna give that away. Starhub 3g is fast enough
If its released in Malaysia then all the more better. Just a drive/ride across 2nd link or causeway

I am also in SG. I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for a 12GB contract on LTE. Singapore telcoms just followed suit with the USA and went for the massive cash grab known as metered billing.
I think that it's wrong to go from 12GB to 2GB of data while keeping the price the same. The price per month should have been lowered according to the data offered.
You have to admit though we are still paying a lot less than people in the USA. (http://www.androidcentral.com/us-mobile-data-prices-among-most-expensive-world)
My plan:
120 (outgoing mins)
600 SMS
2GB data
$39SGD (31.40 USD) per month
I have a friend that lives in the UK. I will be getting him to order me a white 32GB so that I can take advantage of LTE.
Miscellaneous notes:
I have no idea if the version that's going on sale via Emobile middle of the month has a different software image than the one sold in Play Store.
Went out to Akihabara today, from one end to the other. Not a single Nexus 5 case to be found.
On Docomo at least, no Google Wallet.
Trivial to get running on Docomo if you've already got an Xi contract with 3FF SIM:
1. Go to www.mydocomo.com, log in with your mobile number and password
a. sign up for moperaU service (6 months free, after 6 months you'll want to change it to moperaU light)
b. cancel your sp-mode service (save 315 yen/mo for those 6 months)
2. Put the SIM in the Nexus 5 and power it on
Done.
Detailed rundown for those with weak japanese-fu at http://www.aeug.org/drupal/node/22
There are issues with bmobile 3G SIMs. The answer may be a reissue with LTE SIM and a change of plan, to the tune of over 5000 yen in extra charges plus the loss of the legacy voice plans, which come with a call allowance, unlike the plans for the LTE SIMs.
Sir where did you get or bought the google nexus 5? It is already available at akihabara? Please reply thanks in advance

You can buy it at google play store. I went to akiba yesterday but still not found.
I've confirmed with JCI that Bmobile 3G users are screwed, ones with voice service particularly so.
3150 yen SIM reissue charge
2100 yen plan change charge
loss of the 1000 yen/mo voice communication allowance on an ongoing basis
If you are on a Bmobile 3G plan and want to not get anally violated without even a courtesy reacharound, don't get a Nexus 5. Or get one and MNP to someone else and complain loudly to JCI as you are walking out the door.

staff at Bic camera told me that Nexus 5 will be available next fri.(15 Nov.)
Just checking in as I'm also here in Japan and using the B-mobile Sumaho LTE plan (I was already using it on my Nexus 4 so I had no changeover problems).
I checked out Akiba and couldn't find any cases either. Hope they get some soon! I ordered my phone via the Play Store first day and it was delivered yesterday.
Everything works as advertised and the B-mobile APNs were already in the phone. I just had to select the Sumaho LTE APN and it worked immediately.
Cheers!

Sir, where did you get nexus5 ? Can I get 32G one from bic camera?
Nexus 5 is only available via 2 sources in Japan unless things have changed:
Contract free via Play Store
2 year contract required via Emobile (16gb only) - The contract terms on the N5 are actually pretty good unlike many carrier plans.
If someone is telling you Bic/Yodobashi, its from the Emobile carrier store inside the store and will require a contract.
Did some field research today.
The handsets Emobile have out on display have the same radio, kernel and build number as Play Store units.
This strongly suggests (but is not 100% evidence) that Emobile handsets have no alteration from stock.

This might be dated though.
I started having issues where friends couldn't hear me this past weekend. After a lot of searching and testing I've found my main Mic no longer works. The speakerphone does. It appears this has been a very big issue with the M7 HTC One. I'm just over a year into my contract with ATT and my phone is now out of warranty. Given the vast amount of people that have had this issue do you think there is any way HTC would repair the Mic for me? I can't really afford to just go out and buy a new phone at street price.
Can anyone offer and help with what I should do?
