A person in the market thread posted his order and it showed he ordered 7 on the 13th he claims that they were for presents but who knows. Anyway after all the high priced ebay items i was hoping there would be a limit and google came through. It seems if you ordered 2 the first round you couldnt order the same variant 8 or 16 from the same account. So a single account could technically order 4 phones. Another article stated that those who ordered more than 2 would only be shipped 2. Has this happened to anyone? Did you really need more than 2? I for one hope a lot over ebayers got their plans foiled with this one.
Too little too late.
If they could get enough stock in the play store none of these greedy sellers would be able to mark up prices so much.

I just went to exchange my daughters nexus 7 she received for Christmas at Staples and was told they don't have any replacements and won't be getting the 16GB version anymore as they have been discontinued Every Staples in my area (boston) is sold out, even though the Staples website shows them in stock. The 32GB is still available everywhere.
I then went to Walmart.com and their website states "Dear Customer, we are out of the Google Nexus 16GB Tablet, and will not be receiving any more. You can look at and purchase the 32GB version by CLICKING HERE."
Google play store shows them "Sold Out".
Does anyone know if the 16GB is discontinued? Does this mean we can expect to see the 32GB version discounted soon?

Discontinue at Staples. Not from Google.

Wal mart will stop selling the 16gb since it went down to $199.99. Reason being, at that price, there is just no profit margain for them. Google barely breaks even. Nothing left for wally.

Even my work told me that they wouldn't likely get more in. I went for the 32gb, only $50 more.

I noticed this today too! Went out looking for a 16gb model to replace a kindle fire HD I purchased my mom for Xmas (didn't like it). Couldn't find one anywhere locally or online! Well I take that back, my local MicroCenter only had the 16gb models in stock but they had the nerve to have them priced at $249 lol. When I asked the sales guy why they were priced so high he tried to get over on me by saying that's the correct price and the $50 price cut is down from $299. I just laughed and replied "I see why your the only place that still has the 16gb models in stock" and walked away. Ended up buying a 32gb model at Sears and used my $28 worth of reward points towards the purchase. I think Google is looking to sell only the 32gb models...

When the Nexus 7 was released this past summer, only the 8GB was available directly from Google. The 16GB was the only model sold in stores. Now that there is no 8 GB model and the price was lowered on the 16 GB, the 32 GB is the only version available via anywhere other than Google.
Just about every retailer is stating that they are no longer carrying the product or it has been discontinued. I called google customer service and they told me that they have no knowledge of it being discontinued and suggested I keep checking the website for updates. They couldn't tell me if they would be restocking, just that there is no official statement on product being discontinued. Would be nice if someone said something official one way or the other.
I bought two 16GB versions for Christmas, one worked fine while the other wouldn't charge. I returned the defective unit thinking I would be able to get a replacement. Silly me. Now if I buy two different memory versions, my 5 year old son who doesn't understand the situation will be unhappy if his sister gets one with more memory. Yes, at 5 he can tell the difference. Meanwhile my 7 year old daughter is still without her Christmas gift while Mom and Dad go crazy trying to locate one.
Below is what the retailers are stating:

Staples and Sears - every store that shows units in stock, doesn't have a single unit for resale. Either the units in stock are customer returns which are not available for sale or they are falsely being reported as stocked.
Office Depot, OfficeMax, Gamestop, Microcenter, RadioShack: every store near me is sold out.

If they're sold out, they're sold out. A lot of us have kids and there is no physical difference in the two and there's no way he would know the difference.
They're identical looking machines.

Good one retard
My kid has had a tablet since he was 3. He's 6 now. He's on his now looking at wallpapers.
I wouldn't jump to conclusions. Christmas just ended and stock has yet to be replenished. Although I would imagine the 32gb taking over the norm.
There is no way to tell them apart. The box is even the same. No way to tell except going into settings and viewing storage.
If you WANTED to fix it... do a nandroid backup of the 16gb and restore it on the 32gb. Then it will read as 16gb. You can flash back to the original stock Rom (which will properly reformat it) to regain the lost 16gb.

When I went in to best buy looking for a nexus 7 I couldn't find one. I asked the lady where the nexus 7 was. She said sadly best buy and Google couldn't come to an agreement so they passed on carrying it. I looked at her and said they wouldn't let y'all price gouge huh? She looked at me funny and walked away.
Maybe its a sign that Google is about to release a 64 gig version or one with an SD slot?

If a fruit company can have 64GB, then why a green robot can't? also reminds me about GNEX, that Google could not fit 32GB in GSM variant as it was to thin, who know how it's now, but N7 has more room, not about for 3G variant.
A few places do still sell the 16 GB model in India.. Online ofcourse.. But that's probably the "left-overs".. Also, there have been speculations of re-releasing the N7 tablet in India in Jan '13.. So there'd be the 16 GB model available then..
My oversea sources inside China indicated that it is basic supply & demand issues with inventory and the holidays at the factory as the warehouses are basically operating in JIT mode (Just In Time) for shipping & delivery, and, that they are simply out of stock - or, sold more 16GB models than expected. $199 USD is a very, very attractive price for this sleek quad-core model & HD screen and a great front-facing camera, etc. (minus the mSD card for extra storage - which, we are know is easily solved with OTG cable, besides - got a ton of USB thumb drive) Our 2nd. choice was a slower (dual-core) Samsung Galaxy Tab 2.0 7" with dual camera - also virtually sold out everywhere, online & at brick-n-mortar stores before X'mas.
Anyway, tracked down an open-box N7 16GB - WiFi only - in 99.98% brand new condition, full warranty last week at the 3rd. Staple stores - (had 2 of them in the back, plenty of 32GB models at $249) - manager approved a 10% discount (no official policy for giving discount as it's highly sought after) so it was $180 net + sales tax, no waiting for FedEx/UPS driver - what a bargain. That's almost 1/2 the price of the iPad mini and if you fly in "coach" on a 15 hours flight - either one is great for watching DVD's and got plenty of storage options with the USB add-on, and the micro-USB port made it super easy to power up/charge & connect with other devices without spending a small fortune on accessories again (DW has her full size iPad, LOL but I love Androids) Easily tethering nicely to VZW's hotspot on the smartphone w. unlimited 3G data plan when I'm not on a Fios connection, he he !
Still busy with unlocked, rooted stock Roms & the top custom ones floating around here - the factory rom without the bloatware is great - once I got rid of the "My Library" & "Recommended ..." pimped by Google as I don't feel like holding it up as a made-believed Kindle Fire HD, etc. that's priced higher in Staples.
Stay tuned - time to update my profile/signature as the older Viewsonic Vpad7 is going to retire soon or get eBay'd ...
Cheers & Happy New Year 2013 to all (to our "oversea" friends in the other half of the planet Earth, i.e. our uncle in "Down Under" in Aussie's) :highfive:
The Nexus 5 release date is drawing close. One thing we can be sure of is that it would take months for it to release in India. If google prices it right then it would fly off the shelves in no time and then would be out of stock for several days, as was the case with Nexus 4.
With this in my mind I am planning to order it from the US play store as soon as it goes on sale.
I created this thread so that we potential buyers in India can discuss the prospects of importing it.
Currently I can think of using HopShopGo to ship the device from US to India and using HDFC VCC for the play store purchase.
Let us discuss the alternatives and perhaps better methods to import the Nexus 5.

The nexus 5 is now available on amazon but it's much more than it is in the play store. It costs $590, but that should make it easier for people to buy it from other countries. Theres only 10 left in stock and heres the link.

Does any one think or know that amazon should do the pre-order like the nexus 9? It could be a good option, financing options with store card, free shipping, great customer service.
Interested in this as well as I have some Amazon gift cards.
Seeing as it's not even listed on Google's Nexus 6 page as a place to order it, i'm going to say that it's probably not going to be able to be pre-ordered through Amazon. I was hoping the same thing, but it seems there's no such luck.

Amazon had pre orders for the Nexus 9 before google did so who knows. Either way the pre orders will be live tomorrow.
True, but then again Amazon had been listed as a place to pre-order the Nexus 9 since day 1...
