Is the D3 (in store, at full retail price) confirmed to be $450?
i want to know that too
I picked mine up in-store today at full retail. The price was the same as it is online - $459.99.
Awesome!! Thanks

Little off from the original question but I was able to get mine for $99.99.
I was eligible for a new phone, minus an extra $30 credit, and a local Verizon store was doing an extra $50 off any 3g Android device. I believe the rep I dealt with gave me a little extra off somehow too to get to the $100 mark. I was going to trade in my Droid 1 for an extra $20 off that but my cousin busted his screen so I decided to be a nice guy and give it to him.
For a $100 I'm very happy over the Droid 1.
can the D3 be bought without any contract?

Yes. That's what this thread is discussing. $459.99 full retail (which means you don't sign a contract and buy the phone outright) at Verizon.
$459.99 here as well. Bought one on launch day off contract.
Ended up running me $497

Did you buy the replacement battery or something?

I'm pretty sure dipwhitty meant that's the price including sales tax.
Ah, gotcha. Thanks!
So can this one be unlocked?
Thanks
Before I got mine online for full price I called a store and they said 600 bucks. So that proves that verizon employees don't know jack. Ishould of called a different store but I just ordered it instead. I knew it was 459 at the store.

Expansys-USA.com, which doesn't charge tax in most states, now has the new Nexus devices up for pre-order.
Additionally, you can use MrRebates.com to get 2% cash-back.
Thanks for the heads up. But it doesn't tell me if they will charge me sales tax in California. If I don't know this then it's not worth pre-ordering through them. Can anyone tell me if they do based on past experience?

From the website:
1.5 Sales tax is also charged on all shipping charges for orders delivered in Illinois.

They don't charge you until you accept the cost once they get their shipment. No risk just pre-ordering and finding out if there's sales tax later
is there any benefit buying this from Expansys vs the Play store besides that you can pre order right now?
Looks like this is for the 8gb model, do they have pre-orders up for the 16gb model?

I ordered my Galaxy Nexus from them a few months ago. Wasn't charged tax or shipping to California on, at that time, a $400 purchase.

Oh wow! I live in California as well.
So no tax and free shipping correct?
How long did it take for you to get your phone from your previous order?
Very curious, as I might order from Expansys

I'm thinking of doing the same thing. Just weary of putting my bank info out there if I don't have to so I like to know its a sure thing before pre-ordering.
Also want to make sure this comes with a U.S. 1-year warranty from Google. I'm used to Expansys being the place you order foreign phones from and if anything goes wrong you have to ship them over to Europe or whatnot to get them fixed
What do you guys think about the price on Expansys? Will it be much bigger than 300usd compare to the Google Store? If not, I would order it from EU.

Yeah, my order came out to no tax and no charge for shipping.
Ordered it on a Thursday afternoon, was ready to ship by Saturday and got it 4 days later in a small box on my doorstep via FedEx Ground.
Great phone, but looking forward to the Nexus 4 and considering ordering it from them again to save on shipping/tax to California. Plus cash back is available at various sites.

Sounds Great, looks like I'll most likely be ordering from Expansys.
Just going to see what a few other pre-order sites have to offer.
none of the links work for expansys...
Product removed.
Wanted to order from there, they accept intl' ordering and credit cards... (I'm sending to the US)
Did anyone checked the price before it was removed?

Turns out Amazon is selling AT&T and Verizon version 199 off contract!
Edit: nm, fixed now. That was quick!

The verizon store i went to still had the phone at $149 so i called verizon and i got the price match. The deal maybe just online.
Fyi for those who may have not pulled the trigger in buying the G2 the droidlife story helios posted has an additional promotion code you can use at checkout for additional $50 off. If it works then this phone would be free!

I got in on this. I have one shipping from Amazon with a total invoice cost of $199.99
.. not sure what I want to do with it. May just resell.
I hope you get it. However I read people are getting emails from amazon saying they are not honoring this glitch even with people showing statuses of shipping. Fingers crossed
I have done no work today because of this phone crazyness.
Amazon would just eat those as a loss in profit. I wonder how many of them got sold. Either way, good catch for the ones that got it for 199 off contract.

not sure if this is the same thing but
http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/device/smartphone/lg-g2?null
has the LG G2 for free with code VZWDEAL. Good till 11/11. 2 year contract required.
this might also help some people who are wondering about pulling the trigger
http://www.droid-life.com/2013/09/17/keep-unlimited-data-verizon-upgrade/
Please correct me if I am wrong. I read that Verizon 4G phones come unlocked and that I can use a Verizon LG G2 on another carrier. So can I buy this phone from Verizon (for free) and then just pay the ETF and go use it on TMobile?
Please advise me on such a strategy. Thanks.

I did the VZWDEAL and got the phone for free. DL also posted the SLICK50 will get the phone for free also.
Another Verizon tip. If you're upgrading from a previously unlimited data line to 2GB of data, ask about Verizon Max (might be spelled Maxx). You get 6GB of data for the 2GB price. Got it for both mine and my wife's phone (that's 6GB per phone, not shared between the two of us). I had to call the customer support line as the store guys didn't know about it (3rd party vendor), and you'll need to go through a verification process that takes a couple days. But once done you'll have 6GB of data for $30 per month.

Tried both codes on my second like and no discount. Odd. $49 is still a sweet deal.

Good news: My G2 that I ordered from Amazon shows shipped for the low price of $225 with next day shipping!!!
Bad news: A lot of people seem to think Amazon will recall the shipped orders.
They will price match. I called verizon to get a refund. Just bought the phone on monday..
If they try to give you ****, you have 14 days to return the phone.
Return your phone. Then say, you know what, Id like to get that phone again.. =D bam..
but seriously, they should be able to knock it down or give you credit.
Verizon guarantees price match within 14 days of activating. I paid 200, got the 50$ off last week, just missed the other 100$ and 50 with code. So, I paid 150.

I paid 100 for the phone before getting the price adjustment. I would have paid 150 for this phone without hesitation.

So I think I'm correct that the phone would work on Sprint (duh), T-mo, or ATT correct? It should be the same phone that is sold from google correct?
If so, if you have Prime you could get one in two days versus weeks at google. In my area we are charged tax when ($41 according to amazon) directly ordering from Amazon, but if you aren't in such an area you could save tax and shipping so you would only be paying a $15 or so fee to get the Nexus 5 now ($449 vs about $435 from google).
Yes, for 16gb, sounds like an awesome deal (sarcasm)

yeah i have my 32gb listed there too for 500
Just get it from craigslist. There are plenty of people selling it at $400 flat for 16gb and $450,for 32gb
Earlier they had no 16gb's and the 32gb was $499. Then the 32gb dropped to $449, now there aren't any. The black 16gb is down to 7 left.
Wonder if they ever actually had any 32gb's or if that was an error. If not, they sold them quick.

I would rather buy for amazon for $449 where it could be returned if need be than craigslist, but then again the $449 price has come and gone.
Btw, I was just passing the info on for those looking for one, I already have a couple.
I'm just so confused. Why would you pay $100 more for a phone that would be locked to sprint? When you could buy it unlocked for $400....
The only way I would see this as justified would be if you had money to waste lol
Might not be the same as Amazon's sku, but the Nexus 5 at Best Buy is unlocked. Even though it's advertised as a Sprint phone, my T-Mo sim worked out of box. I even got it priced match, took some effort, but no shipping wait.

I think its canada only, but not sure !
$13 bucks shipping is a little hight but still a killer price. Wish I was in Canada, so I could order one!
That's probably tax
I don't see where they ship to US. Only gives Canadian Provinces I wanted a rose gold for my gf. See their white only comes in silver.
Just ordered 2 Ivory and 2 Orange. Now I'm researching how to make them work with out Samsung device. I figure with the new S5 coming shortly these will be a good addition.
what if I tell you that I got mine for... 9€ ? :victory:
(brand new, sealed box, of course).
109€ paid online, 100€ paid back by Samsung in few weeks
by the way, what's that fake picture on the offer link ? (bad photoshop): http://www.bell.ca/styles/wireless/accessories/large/78132_BlackAngled_SM-V700_Standard_Origin.jpg

I couldn't resist at this price. But what I did instead of buying one through the Bell web site was to price match it at my local Best Buy. With their price match plus 10% policy, I got it for $89.97 plus taxes. Thank you, OP!

Orange ones are still in stock. I just ordered 2.

I must have just squeaked my purchase in because not 2 hours after I ordered 2 of these they are also now sold out.

I just got off the phone with bell Customer Service and was told that they had so many orders that the system went into Back Order mode!
They can'f fulfill all the orders they took and are now contacting Samsung to see if they can get more to satisfy the existing orders.
I expect Bell will be cancelling many orders very soon.
I got it
I am in Nebraska and I got one of my local Best Buy to price match. I think the said ok because I got the orange one ( Broncos fan). I also knew the sales rep because he helped me in the past with a lot of stuff.
Now on sale at Future Shop for 100.
I picked one up today. I'll cancel the Bell order tomorrow.
