O2 listing the N5 for just £549.99....

O2 apparently have the network exclusive on the N5 32Gb in the UK, but they're selling it at a £210 markup!
Crazy that Google are allowing this!
https://www.o2.co.uk/shop/phones/lg/nexus-5/

Boooooooooooooooo!!!

They're just shooting themselves in the foot really. People will just go to Google, type in Nexus 5, see it's only £300 elsewhere and make their purchase there.

What a p*** take!

We can only hope that anyone buying a SIM free N5 knows what the RRP is from Google (it's in stock on the Play store anyway) and won't be drawn in by this ridiculous pricing that's floating around on O2 and eBay!

Im on their 'Refresh' plan was thinking of upgrading even though i only just got my HTC One in August.
Then i saw this!
£32 on 3G.
£12 for the tariff
£20 for the phone
32x24 = 768 plus one of fee of 49.99
£818 over 2 years

It's ridiculous. I was tempted to get a Nexus 5 from Carphone Warehouse until I found out that they only have 16GB edition. O2 have exclusivity on the 32GB and this allows them to get away with jacking up the price waaay up. Bad O2, very bad.

With a nearly new HTC One, provided you haven't damaged it you should be able to sell it for enough to get a N5 SIM free anyway.

I don't see how o2 can market this as an exclusive when Google is selling it too.. plus the price difference.

Rip-off, plus you end up with a phone hobbled to O2
Sim free via Google ftw!

you'd be better off with nexus 5 from google play and migrate to giffgaff, some money saved and no contract commitment needed.

That's extortion! Would rather buy it from play store for £348 and get a 3 £15pm sim only contract, 500mins, ultd texts and net

Get it on playstore and get Three 12 Month Sim Plan.
For £15 a month you get

True unlimited internet which is soon to be upgraded to 4G/LTE
Its a bargain at that price!

I read that O2 have exclusivity for 32GB GB on the UK high street, ie not online.
So quite possible it will be available via amazon.co.uk. I'm gonna wait and see and if so buy via amazon as I think I then will have better customer service should I need to return it if its faulty. I know you can return to google but I feel happier dealing with amazon when a physical item is being posted to me.

are they giving away any tv this year?

I checked ebay last night and there are BIN listings for > £400 for the 16Gb that have sold Nexus 5's in the UK.
The play store has all models in stock, shipped within a week!!!
I'm tempted to purchase 10 of each from Google and chuck them on ebay!

I ordered two with the intent of doing this, but availability is so much better than the N4 with it being sold in almost every UK phone outlet.
I think the eBay sales are coming from countries where it isn't available just yet and the hassle of sending there is never worth it for me.

Best buy online has refurbished gear for 129.99

Title says it all. Geek squad refurbished for 129.99 free shipping
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using xda app-developers app

Best deal I have seen in the US for the Gear. I got mine for $99 in Canada, but I also have to pay GSTs and shipping to the US.

@nviz22, keep in mind the one you got is brand new, while this one is refurbished. Though since its BB Geek Squad, these refurb'd units are most likely just customer returns.

All should know too that many times "refurbished" only means it was returned to the store without anything wrong with it. They cannot then sell it as "new", so they have to call the item refurbished. In the case of the Gear, where we heard it had a high return rate late last year, I would take advantage of an offer like this if you see it come up again.

Yeah, that's fine, but I am just saying that's been the best deal for the Gear in the US so far from what I have seen. It's a good value purchase at $130 anyways. For $300, the original price, not worth it. I chose the Gear 1 for the functionality and price. The Gear 2 only has a heart rate sensor and IR Blaster, which cannot vouch for a $200 price difference.

Pricing update FYI
Just thought I would post for those that are interested.
Amazon has the original Gear for 120.33 they are listed as used but they are being shown as Amazon Warehouse inventory which very often are customer returns. Free two day shipping if you are a prime member as well. Also eligible for standard return and refund policies from Amazon. Also this is for Jet Black.

Galaxy Tab S 10.5 - $399

I found this Best Buy page.
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/samsung...hite/7798007.p?id=1219291425819&skuId=7798007
Went to Walmart and they price matched it for me! Walked out with a new Galaxy Tab S 10.5 for $399 and didn't have to wait for black Friday.
The price is down to 379 now. Happy price matching!

hey give me credit please.............you got it from ME on slickdeals

I figured I wasn't the first one to find it. The Internet is a pretty big place

just kidding, glad you got the deal as well.

You got lucky there was an idiot working at Wal-Mart when you asked for the price match. bb price is still 499 for new. The link you posted was for a GSCR which is for a Greek squad certified refurbished unit!

....... Paid 499 for lol! Someone got real lucky!

I was the OP and I got mine right at best buy so it shows not just Walmart can be idiots

Wait so you guys got it at bestbuy or walmart at 399? Brand new?

I got mine at Best Buy for $379.99. I went in and asked for a 16 gig white Tab S 10.5. When he told me the price, I showed him the print out and even the link. He didnt even bat an eye lash. It wasnt until after I posted that it was realized that four letter word stands for refurb. So its a ymmv deal but it also
does not scream refurb anywhere so you might have an argument with management. (refurbs are usually much more clearly labeled) See my receipt here to show what they gave me and the price: http://slickdeals.net/f/7367948-sam...-white-379-better-than-black-friday?t=7367948

Nice, I was curious what Best Buy would do. I was even going to go as far as trying in store pickup but decided to go the Walmart route instead. I didn't know it was for a refurbished unit, the page gives absolutely no information about it.

ill stop by bb today and see if i can get one for 379!!!!
but im still waiting for the dell venue 8 700 !!!!!

Your so lucky! I would of wanted one for that price!

Do a search on Ebay.
BestBuy/Geek Squad is selling Refurbished 32 gig Titanium color model for $379 Shipped to you no charge. Bought mine last night.

This deal is rather tempting, but I am also waiting to learn how much the Dell Venue 8 will be and how the Moorefield processor performs in comparison to the Exynos.

Should we have any concern about this being a refurb? I may bite as well at bb.

I do NOT think this is a high enough value product that these are physically repaired units. I tend to think these are just customer returns that have been factory reset, cleaned off, and repackaged. If anyone with real expertise can comment further I'd be curious. Whether customers returned them because they were broken or they just didn't like, hard to know. I think warranty is only 90 days and i don't know if a credit card doubles the warranty on a refurbished product or not. I've bought a moderate number of refurbished electronics before and never had a problem though, and most problems will surface in first 90 days. That said price new is only $20 more next week so savings not big enough to just ify It.

the point is that its one day to get that price and the madness behind it. Also I disagree in that anytime I have bought a refurb from a large company, its usually pristine. GO to cowboom and that is a prime example of taking returns and simply reprocessing them.

It's four days. Many stores have that price and you can order online. No hassle at all. Samsung.com has it for 399$ beginning Sunday and you can pre-order today.

Also if you want to go refurbished, Newegg is cheaper than bb, no sales tax, and includes a one year warranty.

Galaxy Tab S 10.5 $299 - Staples

Staples presently has the Tab S 10.5 for $499. Get them to price match Best Buy at $399 (print copy from web). Then use the $100 off coupon in the flyer :http://weeklyad.staples.com/StaplesSD/WeeklyAd?storeid=2278485#!/ Have to do this in store. Was not able to get same deal online.
Was on the fence regarding this vs. the 32 GB version exclusive to BB. However at this price it is well worth it. FYI, they only have the Bronze versions in the store (at least in my area).

yeah i was on the fence too but that price is amazing. i will invest in a nice big SD card

I got it at that price +5 % rewards cash back, the manager gave me the Bronze one then I returned the white one to Walmart @ $379.00 previous price match but this deal is even better $299-15.00 =284.00 also I just pick up an other Chromecast for $25.00 on sale at the same store
Thank you

Wow did you have to pay tax on $499 or $299

Thank you op for the heads up. I just bought the tab s yesterday from best buy. I'm going there after work with the info and if they're unwilling to match it then I'll return it and get it at staples.

I got it too for $299 and I have a free $100 gc making it $218 with tax. The override need miracle. YMMV on this! You might have to try different stores. Keep your cool and you might get it.

Best buy refused to price match Staples because the staples deal used a $100 off coupon and coupons are specifically excluded from best buy price match policy. I was however successful in getting the $299 deal at staples!

Went to best buy and ended up returning the tab and driving 5 minutes to the nearest staples and after a short discussion with the manager they allowed me to buy it for $299.99. Being in new Hampshire meant no sales tax. Again ...thanks to the op for posting the info.

The nearest Staples is 67 miles from Panama City. They don't stock the 10", and they are out of stock on the 8". Wow, such a deal! :crying:

32 GB is now on sale at Best Buy for 449. I just went and got my $100 back since I paid full price earlier this month.

I gave staples a shot. No can do. Oh well. I guess I'm not the charmer that you guys are lol.

I got the 32gb version on eBay for $410.00 after using a promo coupon lol. Got really lucky!

Are you sure? Motorola doesn't sell anything directly on Amazon.
For example the white 32gb model is being sold at 329.99, and says this "Ships from and sold by Talk-Time".
I bought the exact same model about a year ago for 249.99 and said "Ships from and sold by Amazon".
You won't find any ships from and sold by Motorola, Amazon or any other big retailer anymore.

As I've said in other posts... the Nexus 6 is still a quite relative phone to use. Save for battery life, there is little to distinguish the performance between this phone and brand new phones in day to day usage. I still use my White 64gb along with my Pixel XL.

Price on Amazon wasn't always high, especially when they were blowing them out last Christmas. New in box for between $199 and $299 (depending on both storage and when bought in the holiday season) is an excellent deal.
