http://item.ebay.com/160436949652
wonder how he got his hands on it, anyone have any ideas?

WOW you just way overpaid. You should have at least shopped around, they have been selling for 450-550 all day on ebay. Craiglist too. He got it from the Google I/O event.

Got it at the Google I/O most likely.

It's ok because i had actually pre-ordered it at best buy and $599.00 is retail without tax! So $675.00 shipped and bing.com rebate back is cheaper

if u buy at sprint its $450

and at radioshack its $499. Hope you enjoy your phone! hope it doesnt get lost or stolen in the mail.

can't do that, i'm a sprint advantage club member

LOL, I was watching that one. There's another one that ends in less that an hour and a half but I'm going to let that one slide by too.
I've finally decided to wait stoically like most of us here.

being that it comes with a months free unlimited service, he didnt really overpay by that much and he wont have to sign a new contract or renew his original one. not really that bad of a deal if u do the math..............................

For what he paid he definitely overpaid. Retail is $450, so he paid $225 to get it less than two weeks early. He could have gotten the hotspot for more than 7 months for the same amount, or put that towards two years of the extra $10/mo. Either way, he better be totally happy with his purchase.

I get mine this Friday. I see you have that Google I/O informational form in your pic. Is that included in the phone's packaging?
The reason i ask is because I asked my seller about that form and he said that he didn't have it. he said that it might be packaged with the phone itself. He never opened the phone's packaging. So I told him that I'd just find out when i receive it.

Well it depends on where he would have gotten the phone from. Sprint $450..you can say he probably overpaid, $500 RS....you can say he overpaid, BB...I don't think he overpaid. i think its a great deal if you think about it.
Free everything for a month, no contract....etc.
And plus I'm sure there will be big shortage of these phones when they release. I stopped at the bestbuy by my house earlier today and the Rep there told me that this is the biggest preorder they ever had. I'm not sure if he was just talking about this particular store or Bestbuy in general. Just like the Incredible and the iPad this will be backordered. And if you think paying $670 is too much ....wait until June 4th
I think if you really want the phone, you saved up for the phone or whatever if you got the money then go ahead and get it. Because getting one on the 4th is not guaranteed.

Not to reign on some peoples parades of cost, but depending on the store, they may not sell you a phone off contract. I Lou of holding out for new customers and upgrades. Happened to me when I wanted a pre had to hold out a month for when online orders came around

Thanks!

W00000T I FOUND ONE.. 12% off
I'm a RewardZone Premier Silver Member, and I got coupons in the mail last week, it's good 12/8-12/19, says 12% off on no-contract phones.
It says "when you use your reward zone program premier silver membership"
It also came with a 10% off one too.
Looks like a standard coupon, I've used these before and I always use my RewardZone, so I don't know if it actually is required for a Premier Silver level to use.

My advice for using best buy coupons is always be nice and courteous to the cashier, if you act like some douche they will deny it, and if you get your coupon denied just ask to talk to the manager, they usually fix things up for you. I've got them to honor prices that were misprinted in the past.

Wow awesome...I just checked BB and I'm not eligible for an upgrade until JULY so that means i have to pony up $500+ for the Nexus S. So any coupon in form is awesome!
Hopefully one is found for thursday!

I believe that all of the best buy reward coupons state that unlocked phones and contract phones are excluded. It says that no contract phones are acceptable meaning pay as you go phones. You could probably argue that having t-mobile service means that all phones would qualify but they are technically unlocked phones or contract phones. The coupon may not apply the discount but they may give you the discount anyway.

last i checked/heard the "unlocked phone" is the same SKU as the "tmobile NS" unlocked is just the term they are using for off contract

I think they are on to it. This is the 10% off coupon good till 12/31. Notice how the category has changed to just phone accessories

forgot about these. should be getting some of the premium silver member ones in the mail soon. really hope i get the 12% off contract phones.

TELL ME YOU LOVE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CLICK ON THANKS PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Go to http://bbyurl.us/ps1 this is a mobile coupon. 12% OFF, it says rewardzone members only! You can go to the site on your PC to look at it too!
Or get the URL sent to yourself. This is a SECRET code/txt message!!!
Send PREMIER to 332211 and you will get a txt message about the above URL with the 12% off No Contract Phones. You will probably need a RewardZone membership, so go sign up now!
Here's the actual mobile site that shows the coupon: http://m.bestbuy.com/mobile/coupons/coupon-premier-1370997.html
"PHONES & ACCESSORIES: no-contract phones • landline phones • landline and mobile phone accessories • phone cards • 2-way radios"
It says you need Premiere Membership, but again, just sign up for RewardZone, and hope that it works for non Premier members
CLICK ON THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank You

Just to let you know, the back of the coupon, in the fine print, it says its not valid on contract/ AND unlocked phones. Isnt the Nexus S an unlocked phone? Im a premiere silver member and got the coupon a few days ago as well, but saw the fine print. I will still try to use it, but they could argue it and say that it is an unlocked phone so therefore invalid

Damn, what is the differenzce between unlocked phones and no-contract phones? Seems to be the same for me. Sorry I am not from the US, so maybe this is a stupid question.

I think we should argue if they say anything.
I would like to get it for $199 on contract, but the store doesn't sell it, only off contract full price (and it happens to be unlocked), it's their fault they don't sell T-Mobile in their store, so it should qualify as a "no contract phone"

win! LOL i only paid 299 and it was full retail! someone should inform him!!

I'm not surprised. Seen listings for phones worth <$300 mint going for $70-$150 with screens so fouled up, you would think they got married and tied it on the back of the car like it was a tin can. Being that big a device, I'd believe someone trying to sell a TF101 it for parts at $400.

It's not someone TRYING to sell at that price. That's the price it's at after 60 bids.
I think we can chalk that up as a win for the seller.

yep exactly. and description isn't confusing at all. I don't understand it. Maybe someone hit up a big offer and the seller asked someone to get the price higher.

The "highest" bidder as of now has a (1) rating.
So yeah could be a "New" account just to bump price up.
soccerdude288 should sell his on Ebay too.

Is not so funny for me. Did you ever check prices in Europe? I bought my TF for 700$ before 6 months now is around 600$. Ok the price for as-is for US is high but as you can see shipping is worldwide

It may not be that, either. I tried selling several of my used phones (including an iPhone 4) over the past year or so. Every time I tried to post a decently priced (~$150-200 USD for a phone that was selling for $300 used typically) some random 'new' account would either buy the phone out or balloon the bid up to some ungodly amount. Sure enough, payment would never be received, eBay would insist I give them their cut (even though they could clearly see I had never been paid, through PayPal or any other means), and my phones never sold. After 10 months of fighting this nonsense, and eBay still insisting I owed them seller fees for successfully sold items, I gave up completely on that rotten site. It's chock full of nonsense these days.

Ain't that the truth. I put a CULV machine up for sale at what I thought was a reasonable $50 starting bid. Within an hour I got an email from someone who told me (not asked, mind you) to close the listing, ship him the laptop and he would send me the $50. I declined, and he sent me another email telling me my laptop would never sell on eBay.
Shortly after that, two new accounts started a bidding war and took the price up to $1000. The price sat there until the auction ended 6 days later. Of course, no sale. I tried to work with eBay, but all they agreed to was not charging me to relist the laptop. They also claimed to close the two accounts, but a month after this you could still find the accounts on the site.
Moral: eBay has become a sales sewer. Thugs are running the place, and for every interesting and reasonably priced product you can find, there are 500 crap knockoffs waiting to take your money.

Forgive me for being a dumbass, but what do you guys think these "new" accounts' intentions are for pushing prices way up and then not paying?

Force people to look elsewhere to buy the same item for less. For example, to their auctions.

Or as retaliation. That emailer was right-- the laptop didn't sell.
Flip side, some could do it if their auction isn't making what they'd like it to make.

Obtaining this phone on T-Mobile seems impossible...

This phone is, supposedly, $199.99 thru T-Mobile, according to the Nexus site. I know it isn't coming out for 14 more days, but T-Mobile seems to be completely cluesless as to this phones arrival when you call them... That or the two folks I spoke to are not capable of doing their jobs... Anyone else have info on this? I wanted to upgrade to the S3 but they want 359.00 with 2 year extension. I've had them since 1998 and haven't really had any problems but they want way more than other providers... so I am hoping this phone IS in fact $200 bucks, and works with TMO US... Anyone have this somehow already with Tmobile?

Bit harsh. Maybe they haven't been told any info because there isn't any info yet.
Or should major multinational companies be geared up to benefit just you? On demand?

At the bottom Nov 14....if I read that right 20 payments of $20??? Your paying $400 for a $350 (16GB) phone. Something isn't right there. It's cheaper to pay my credit card company monthly for this phone than through T-Mo.

Exactly.. Right now I'd have to pay Tmo ~$400 to upgrade and would have to re-commit for 2 more years... N4 is a perfect way to upgrade mid-way for a net cost of ~$150 (once I sell my Sensation).

You guys do realize that you're better off buying from the Play store and not extending the contract with T-Mobile, correct?

Check your math, its $199 out of pocket, and then $20/month for 20 months. Total = $599, which is MSRP. Google is subsidizing the one in the play store.

It was a misprint. It is actually 20 payments of $15. Still, it is a ripoff. No reason not to buy it from the Play Store.

Yeah, no point in extending the contract... Looks like we're going to get them from the play store!

I have the unsubsidized value plan, so I don't get discounts. Thanks Google for making a reasonably priced off-contract phone. All the other good phones are $600 or more lol.

Based on what information that you have that Google is subsidizing the phone? I don't think Google is subsidizing the phone. It's that Google does not want to rip the public off like others.

They might not be losing on hardware, but they are losing when you factor in all the design costs that go into production, logistics, etc.... which usually cost more than the hardware, even when distributed over millions of units.

Google make the money from selling/renting content, eg books, music, films etc. That is why they can sell the hardware cheap. They probably break even on the hardware.
BTW I don't think Google are that nice that they wouldn't rip off the public, they are a huge company making millions from the public, they just know if they charged £600 for the phone then less people would buy it and maybe less people then spend money on googles content.

Extremely tight margins for Google after LG's had their profit.
Google Wants to develop their ecosystem and are prepared to break even on the hardware to do so.

[Q] when will nexus 4 be shipped to me

Guys one serious question. I am based in Europe and have a friend right now in US who was supposed to fly back on 21st Novermber and thus me and my gf we both sold our phones as he was gonna bring us two nexus4. While now suddenly his return has been preponed to 17th Novermber. So can he order the phones at midnight of 12th November as soon as it is 13th or will he have to wait till morning and most importantly will he be able to recieve them by 16th latest?? Or will they be available in any stores in US at the same price as google store (I heard about LGs debacle in European pricing). So to sum up if he orders as soon as the order is up or so will he get them by 16 or can he buy them in stores at the same price? Bottomline will he be able to buy these two phones for me and my gf at the said price. Now we are really in soup here as both of us are using stone age old phones and have finances ready precisely enough to pay him back euros equivlant to the cost of two nexus4 at USD prices.. Thanks for every suggestion in advance

No one knows, and it is impossible to predict. There may be shipping delays, there may be product shortages, we may be limited to one device per customer.

Thanks for offering help but this still doesnt tell me anything.. anymore wise guesses?

Nexus 7 was 2 days with 20 bucks shipping fee
Swyped on my Galaxy Nexus running AOKP with Franco Kernel

So given my desperate situation you think I stand a chance? My gf is already giving me dangerous vibes since I made her sell her phone too and we both are reduced to primitive nokia phones.. Google website said 2 days processing time and 2 days shipping from the moment order is placed.. This guy flies on 17th so they have to reach him by 16th... please convince me with some good news else I will have no option but to go on ebay and order some used phone in same price range atleast to shut her up or to put in money allocated to buy my phone for buying her something fancy here and either ways I will be loosing

No its not included, but shipping is fast op, so if you order tuesday morning you should have it by thursday/friday easily, unless there are delays.

2 day shipping from Google, which is the only option, is $13.99 for the Nexus 7. I'd expect about the same for the Nexus 4. When you calculate sales tax, be sure to include the shipping when you do. For some reason Google likes to tax the shipping as well.

Shipping price on the Play Store is $19.99 for all devices. The official policy listed in the Play Store FAQs is that devices are shipped via UPS Two day shipping. If you place an order in the morning, it will ship that day. At least that's what the policy reads here in Canada

So it will be around $349 + $19.99 + taxes.. Right? how much taxes do they take?

Thankx for encouragement indeed

So let me try and get this fellas... As per you guys if he manages to order early morning 13th November so he should recieve them by 16th? (I understand delays, but in normal scenario?)
Alongside, I read and heard that people only with US credit card will be able to buy the phone so he has worked in US in past and has bank account there so he said he can work something out but then I also heard there is a possibility that google might limit one phone per card/account?
So anyway he has asked me to transfer money for both phones in his account and then he will see.. so my calculation goes as 350+350 + shipping approx 15+15 (in case google limits one order per card so I understand I will be paying shipping on both since both will be ordered seperately) + sales tax approx 30+30. So to sum up, is it safe to assume final cost of phone should not go over 400 USD in any scenario? because then I will be transferring in Euros equivilant to 800USD. (I have screwed him enough in past that now he doesnt even buy me one free beer so he isnt gonna chip in any missing amount
So date and approx money looks ok to you guys? Most importantly, please shed more light on the delievery part as thats the most vital aspect of my supply chain and my gf is still cursing me since she has heard that she may not be able to get her hands on this phone after I have made her sell hers..
Needless to say thanks to all

Is it true that you can only order with US credit cards? I'm in a similar situation to the OP. I'm travelling to the States from November 22nd - 30th, and was considering having one delivered to my hotel prior to my arrival for them to hold for me as it'd be cheaper than buying from the UK Play Store even with taxes and shipping.
Not sure if it'd be worth hassling some American friends to do this for me on their cards if you need a US based card to have one delivered in the US though...

Shipping price on the Play Store is $19.99 for all devices. The official policy listed in the Play Store FAQs is that devices are shipped via UPS Two day shipping. If you place an order in the morning, it will ship that day. At least that's what the policy reads here in Canada
