The 3g 32gb Nexus will be released tomorrow. Has anyone seen any signs that they are available anywhere besides the play store? I would like to avoid the taxes and/or shipping changes.
PS Does the play store take returns if i have a screen lift problem.
PPS Since I currently do have a 7" tablet, I don't need to buy tomorrow. However, I would like 2 !!!

1) Outside of a T-Mobile "internal" document, I haven't seen any real confirmation about the release tomorrow (or technically today). It very well might happen, but it also might not. I'm hoping B&M stores carry them too, but it's unknown right now.
2) Yes, you have 15 days (or something like that) for a return and a full year warranty directly through Play Store - if you buy through them.
3) Is that a question?

3) No, it was not a question. It was a plea for someone to tell me/justify my impulse to just buy the N7 as soon as it is released. I am also trying to resist buying the Nexus 4 on release.

Go to the play store and see what happens when you try to select the 3G N7. My browser seems to be glitching. Edit, NM, its back to normal now.
And the only place it says that this device will be released is on the official google blog, but beyond that, i haven't heard a single thing. I even called the CS line today, and the only thing they told me was that "There is no definite release date."
It was not released in Australia along with the N4 and the N10.

I got an email from the UK Play store this morning saying the 3G model was available, and I have successfully placed an order.

Ditto. Was a bit of a git getting on to the website intially, but I managed and I've ordered it. 3-5 working days delivery (£13.99 p&p) . I got in work late as I didnt want them selling out before I got one... waited bloody ages for this.
It seems that no "bricks and mortar" outlets will currently stock the 3g version of the Nexus 7 in the UK and the only place to get it is Play Store.
32g 3g Nexus 7 starting to come up as out of stock now in the UK
For those of you that got the HSPA+ N7, did you get a notification in your email saying that it had gone on sale first?
NM, I reread people's emails. I need to do that better, haha
from the looks of things, only people in EU/etc are getting availability so far.... which means they prob just checked the store and it was there.

Yeah I got an email at the moment the play store had the Nexus 7 3G in stock. However, I'd been checking it every few minutes anyway
I've been patiently waiting for this to come out, but it seems no stores are stocking it online. Not in the UK so Google Play order while possible, is a bit pointless.
Are there any retailers indicating they'll get stock soon?

There is NO indication at this point that any retailers apart from Google Play will be stocking the 3g version of the Nexus 7. I checked thoroughly or I would have bought in a shop rather than online, as I would have prefered to have checked the thing over.
3G Version is LIVE in the US Play Store.
Website is sloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow.
Haha I ordered it before I ever received the email saying it was ready to go! I hope there are design changes so that the flickering is gone.

WTF. This is pissing me off. I can't get my order to go through. Keeps giving me errors and just hangs.
Plus, their phone support just shut down incoming calls.
Just got my ordered from play store at 9:09am PST. Total was $336.16 (California tax and $13.99 for 2 day shipping). It took me around 10 tries to finally get it to check out.

I finally got through too. My first browser just hung so I did a second order and it went through. Took like 40mins from start to finish. This unit better be perfect. I'm going to return my (perfect) 32GB once I receive the 3G unit, so I'll be pissed if I need to RMA the 3G one for some defect.

You're using the wrong (outdated) link. Go here:
https://play.google.com/store/devices/details?id=nexus_7_32gb_hspa_att
Here is an idea that requires everyone to participate.
Plan: Try and get Best Buy to sell you a Nexus 5 before official launch. Maybe they have stock already.
Action: Call your local Best Buy and act dumb. Tell them you want to buy the Nexus 5 and to put one on hold for you to pick up. Or walk into a store if you prefer and do the same. Ask them if perhaps they have a Nexus 5 sitting in the back of the store. Make no mention of the fact that it hasn't officially been announced for sale.
I forget exactly which phone was sold before it was officially released a years or so ago. I remember reading that this guy got a phone before time and he was a bit nervous about it but posted details online about it. So this is possible people! If you remember this incident and the phone remind us.
If everyone does it we might get lucky and have more info to share on the Nexus 5.
Of course report back if you are successful. It might even be fun to report the failed outcomes too. Be creative. See if you can snag an inventory screen shot. See if at least they tell you that they are back there but that they can't be touched.
PS - Don't be that guy. If you think this is a stupid plan be polite. Offer your opinion and insight in a respectful way. You can't say it isn't possible because this has happened before. Sure there are practices in place to prevent this. But all it takes is one rookie mistake and things go unexpected. This is all in good fun. We might get lucky!

Who told you it was going to be sold at Best Buy? I see you have a N4, did you get that at Best Buy too?
We don't know if Best Buy is going to sell the Nexus 5. But they might. They sell all the other Google products (Nexus 7, Chromecast, Chromebook, etc). We also know from a particular Canadian store that there is Nexus 5 inventory. So the Nexus 5 isn't going to be exclusive to the Play Store. None if this is definite for Best Buy, but it can't hurt to try our luck. Perhaps Google learned from the N4 launch that Play Store only sales is bad way to launch a product.
... And I got my N4 and N10 from the Play Store on launch day.

Are you talking about those end cap displays? I thought they were only for N7, Chromcast
I may try this tomorrow if I'm bored before work. Ha I'll report back.
Good luck! It worked with the Nexus 7 a couple months ago.
I bought the n7 2 days early at BB too...I saw the box up above in those locked cages...so I pointed and asked for it...worth a try I guess.

UK CarPhone Warehouse has 3,000 in stock according to a leak , I wonder if it would work there as in best buy? Does it depend on how clueless the staff is?
I think there is a definite possibility it will be sold at Best Buy. Google seems to be taking a different direction with this phone. More hype, and evleaks posted that it is going to be available on Sprint..
a friend of mine who works at BB as a manager told me they are expecting to sell the phone, but that they have yet to receive any units and might not get them until after its already out. This is on LI NY btw

If they're going to sell the phone it should be in their inventory systems; it's an easy thing to check.

Very true, that's why I find it's hard to believe that they'll have the N5 at launch. Someone should've posted a picture of the inventory already. I know I would if I was still there. (Like for the Wii's and PS3's.)
I'm pretty confident they are. I visit my local BestBuy yesterday and asked a customer service rep. He said he knew what I was talking about and went to ask his manager if he could sell it. When he came back 2-3 minutes later, he told me suddenly he wasn't permitted to talk about it because it's not official, so he couldn't legally converse over it. I'm going to try back at another location and see if I can get someone to pop early there, I also got my Nexus 7 2013 48 hours before launch just because I asked. Some guy went in the back and got it for me. Worth a try I suppose.
Hmm. I have a friend that works at BB.

So would it be better to go to the store and hang around the phones? Or just call the store?
How could it be sold out already. I watched it go live, and then said out of inventory for the 64GB blue.
Did anyone pre-order?

Saw this too, confused.
I was able to get mine. Just happened to refresh randomly. Didnt think it would go live at a random time like that.
Bummer.
I don't think it's actually sold out. I think they're making final touches before sending the update script to put it in inventory.

Probably, I have an extension checking every 5 seconds and they have been making changes for like the last 30 minutes.
Looks like they're still making changes to the page... just saw the buy button pop up but then go away.

Just happened to me for the 3rd time, button comes up but as soon as I click add it takes me to an empty cart.
Yeah I noticed this too. Not cool.
I was refreshing all this time. It went from unavailable to sold out (64Gb Blue). was anyone able to buy this version of the phone? I know that the 32Gb was available.
I just chatted with someone from Google Play and she told it that indeed the 64 blue is sold out.
I wonder if they are doing this on purpose to increase demand.
Did anyone actually pre-order one?
Will pre-order be available from Motorola?

Inventory is online - location is irrelevant.
Even if you get somebody sitting in front of the computer in KY, do you REALLY expect that person to get onto the floor and verify that the device you want is actually in a shelf there?

I'm sure you've heard of computers and the internet right? Even if you did speak to someone in the states what are they going to do....put you on hold and run out to the warehouse and count...lol?
Nope they will do the same thing someone in India would do, look at their computer and see how much inventory is showing left.
Has anyone heard any rumors as to when Moto will sell the Nexus 6 through their site? I would love to use my moto credit and take advantage of no interest financing. Thanks!
I would like to know the same thing. I was sort of expecting the Play Store and Motorola to both do the pre-ordering today. I really can't afford to drop $650.00 all at once, so I wanted to use Motorolas financing like you said. There is nothing indicating any pre-sale or release date.
Ditto I'd like to know. Hopefully we'll know something by this wknd

I wonder what is going on I mean even the N5 was up for a few hours on its first pre-order day.
That link is for the UK. It doesn't mean it is the same for the US
I really hope they let more than a handful of people get the device before the holidays. Let's see what happens next. Had anyone see heard about t mobile removing their release date of November 12?
I heard this rumor today, but I'm not sure if it's true. I really hope T-mobile will sell it on November 12th. I'm jealous of the few people who were able to pre-order the Nexus 6 from Google. So, if T-Mobile has it on the 12th, I can get the last laugh because the pre-sale devices won't be shipped until the 21st.

The 21st is a place holder. It will be shipped well before that. The purchase is pending on our cards. Most banks don't allow pending for more than 5 days without being canceled. So expect to see shipment posts in the next few days. Most likely the 3rd with the N9. It's not like they have a bunch to ship out anyway.

As others have said it's most likely going to ship sooner than the 21st...keep in mind unless you have a T-Mobile Account most stores will not sell you a device outright.
My sis was just at a tmobile store and they had the nexus in stock... I am tempted to cancel the Google order and buy it from there but I know it should work on Verizon but anybody tested this yet or had the same idea? Just incase lol..
They aren't even in their system yet so it's actually impossible to buy one from tmo at this point

seems like some stores are enforcing policy and others aren't.
the tmobile rep at my local store didn't let me buy it even though they had it in stock.
The phone is not in the system until the 19 cause they want to insure that they was a sufficient supply for customers. I work there I would know:good:
A store in Sherman Oaks, California wanted to sell me one, but they had no demos. The corporate store had the demo, but said they weren't authorized to sell it until Wednesday.
Guys Try the authorized retailers, they may not have to abide by corporate rules.
One thing is for sure: they all got shipments on Friday or Saturday
Cool thanks for the inputs guys.
i think the next logical question to ask is whether there were any additional stock units added to tmobile's inventory? like whether more stores received units that previously said "no" on the spreadsheet going around last week.
could any employees chime in on this? i'm still wondering if i need to make the hour trip to a location that said it'd have it.
