I can't really say how i feel about this if it's true.. especially if the rumored pricing is true..
http://www.androidcentral.com/wal-mart-sell-nexus-one-soon
what was the rumored price?
$99 is the rumored price.. not sure where that number came from though.
And no T-mobile on that list of carriers?
I know for sure Walmart ONLY sells locked and subsidized devices, so this will be bundled with T-mobile or - most likely - Verizon. If Google continues its current model, you will probably just sign up with service and need to go online to order the phone. They may have a display model, but I bet they will not actual "sell" the device. Right now their mobile center is more like those kiosk booths at the mall.

in stores walmart only sells locked phones but on their website they have sold unlocked phones in the past and i believe they still do, though i have not checked since the g1 came out.
My wife washed her phone with her pants over the holiday, and I went all over to find a replacement. Not wanting to extend my contract (since I want to get rid of it after its over), I had no choice but to look for an unlock or unsubsidized phone. At least during the holidays in store and online I could find no option with out service and seemed to list the same stock.
Of course, retailers can pull those things during the heavy shopping seasons too.
I sort of doubt Google would change their strategy. If T-mobile can't get Nexus Ones; not sure why Wal-mart. I know Wal-mart is a major chain, but normally doing business with Wal-mart is a major pain.
I hope this is a load of Bravo Sierra!
I just purchased my N1 last nite...

If you have been on your service for a while then the telco will give you the unlock codes, I unlocked several blackberries with t-mo customer service and my girl unlocked her storm through verizon.
I think you just have to be a customer for more that 6 months or something. Just tell them your going out of country.

It now "appears" that the Walmart Nexus add was a mistake http://www.businessinsider.com/walmart-says-it-has-no-plans-to-carry-the-nexus-one-2010-1
From Mashable.com
Update: Walmart says the phone erroneously appeared on the site by mistake. Their statement: “Due to a technical error, this item erroneously was displayed on our site. We’re working with our partner Let’s Talk to have it removed as quickly as possible. We have no plans to carry Nexus One in Walmart stores or online at Walmart.com at this time.”
No comment I guess?
EDIT: Sorry, I just noticed this has been posted.
If they claim they aren't selling it in stores or through that site... then wtf is it even doing on that "erroneous" page? Seems like a very difficult error to make.
I knew it wasnt fesible, Att, Sprint and Verizon without Tmobile? Hard to believe.
Ok, end of story.

LoL I love this particular faq:
"Can I purchase a locked, T-Mobile Nexus S without a contract?
Yes, locked phones without a contract can be purchased for $529.99."
Why the hell would anyone want to pay full price ($529) to buy a LOCKED version of the device instead of unlocked?!

Exactly I wanted to reply on that when I read the question on Twitter.
hey all,
i'll be i new york (originally from israel) next week and it's a good opportunity for me to buy the nexus s.. thing is i fly out on the 16th around 7pm.. do you think i should get to a best buy store exactly at 8am when they open or even before so i can be sure i have the phone? are they going to have crazy waiting lines?
i would be so frustrated if i couldn't get my hands on one before leaving, this is one of the main reasons i'm actually coming in the first place...
so what do you think? what should i expect?
Id go to a best buy that doesn't sell T-Mobile contract phones as outright sales wont be as high.

Will the Nexus S work on networks outside of the United States?
The Nexus S is compatible with Global Networks GSM 850, 900, 1800, 1900. Please note that all Best Buy purchases are intended for use in the United States only.
Those are AT&T 3G bands are they not?
EDIT: NM didn't notice it said GSM
They accept order from international if shipped to US address:
International Orders for U.S. Shipping or Pickup
If you have an international billing address, you can place orders on BestBuy.com and BestBuy.com/espanol that will be shipped to an address in the United States, Virgin Islands or Guam. Or, you can place your international order online and pick it up at any U.S. store, or designate someone else to pick up your order.
To complete your online purchase, please use this exact billing address in place of your international billing address during checkout:
10780 Kempwood Dr.
Houston, TX 77043

But I still don't quite understand how to do it. So, instead of using my own address for the billing info, I should use that "Kempwood Dr."?
What confuses me is that I thought the phone was unlocked period, if you buy it with contract it is $199 and without $529. Could it be possible they will have two separate versions in the store?
I thought it was out Dec 16 at bestbuy
Say available after December 16
So is it out Thursday or Friday. And if Friday why not just give a specific date

There is some confusion on Best Buy's side here. There is only one Nexus S SKU they are selling -- which has an unlockable bootloader and is not network-locked. They are offering the choice of "full price with no contract" and "subsidized price with TMO contract".

Is there a branch store of best buy in New York airport?
I'm suffering, because i cant pre-order this "i think" awesome product..
who else is feeling the same.
Hopefully other retailers will sell these to the countries Google has over looked.
I doubt that there will be many for sale at reasonable prices on Ebay when they first come out.
I'm waiting for this type of tablet, why is the world so divided
Well count me in...
I was watching I/O and as they showed it I got more and more excited. Then they said where it will be available and I wanted to cry :banghead:

I preordered from Norway using my mastercard and an american shipping address that acts as a forwarding address to my Norwegian address. Jetcarrier.com. Ads around 25$.

Did you use a norwegian credit card or how did you get a us-one? I heard only cards issued in US, UK and Canada would be accepted.
Thanks
Tried different cards and Visa was not accepted, maybe because Mastercard is a Google Wallet Partner? Dunno, maybe it was just a glitch. Lets see if anyone else manages to order from an illegal location with a local card.
Well tried to preorder but got the unconfortable message stating that the device is not available in my country and that they are doing their "best" to make it possible as soon as they can. Which is I am guessing by the end of the year for 100 euros more in retail store. I'd really like to have the same price and treatment by buying directly from the play store but no official details on that either... That's complete bs. Why make such a global product so restricted for so many areas. my money ain't green enough I guess.
PS: apparently there are no official confirmations for a launch in Europe yet...
i really don't like that. i planned to instantly order one, because i waited so long for a 7inch tablet that's worth the money.
i'm pissed.
EDIT: probably we find some nice guys here at XDA who can buy and send us those awsome tabs? XDA Marketplace ftw?

These are only the International versions, just an FYI. So, not good for T-Mobile.

Yeah, if you are a T-Mobile user here in the states, this won't do you any good unless you live closely to one of the refarmed 1900 3G areas.
Just got mine an hour ago from Amazon Germany (switching from the HTC Touch Pro2 with Energy ROM). :victory:
Amazon now has both the international and the US (supports T-mobile's 1700 MHz 3G) variants.
It is strange that Amazon is shipping Dec 4th, but Motorola isn't shipping the US variants until Dec 9th...
Amazon
They had a mixup with the listing, and they had a lot of ppl asking them what versions they had.
Fortunately they modified their listing on time. Now it shows all the versions available separately. I believe they added the phone as one option and then they would ship them randomly. So that would've meant ppl getting the US variant when they actually wanted the Global one.
I will be waiting for the early buyers and see how everything fares.
I'll let post back when I get mine. I ordered a 16GB US version.
I find it annoying that Motorola does not let you cancel your order (outside of one hour of purchasing on their website) for a device that doesn't ship for a few weeks (I pre-ordered two when the link when live on their site). I would rather cancel that order and pick it up from Amazon personally.

I was unable to find a cancel option on their website, and spoke with a customer representative (before purchase) who told me cancellations must be done within one hour of purchase, even for preorders. There is a 14 day return window, but you must pay return shipping. If you are able to find a way to cancel let me know and I'll probably do the same.

I was told to call 866-289-6686 to cancel my order. I call them and it is the right number to cancel your order. I didn't cancel mine yet until my order from Amazon ships. let me know if it works for you. Wait time is about 15 minutes
Here is a transcript of my chat with Moto Care:
Reza: Hi, my name is Reza. How may I help you?
Christopher: Hello. I need to cancel order # ________.
Reza: I will be more than happy to assist you on this.
Christopher: Thank you
Reza: Is this about your Moto G phone, Christopher?
Christopher: Yes
Reza: I can see that it has been exported to our system already and cannot be edited or cancelled.
Christopher: Who do I need to speak with to get this order cancelled?
Reza: We suggest to call our Ecommerce Department for assistance. They are our dedicated department for Sales.
Reza: You can reach them at 866-289-6686 during Mondays thru Fridays from 8am-7pm CST.

I called the number provided and after talking with someone and being placed on hold for several minutes I was forwarded to the actual Ecommerce Department. I was on hold for about 20 minutes before speaking with someone within the Ecommerce Dept. They again placed me on hold for about 5 minutes. After checking the status of my order, I was told that it cannot be cancelled because it has already been sent to the warehouse for shipment?? They told me to "Reject the package" when it is delivered and when they receive it back I will be refunded...
I'll see how this goes and post my experience. It is unfortunate that Motorola does not have a better order cancellation system.

Suppose you are not home when it's delivered? The only way it could be rejected if a signature is required and I never signed for my other phone in the past. You would think they would make it easier, geeze,!

If you are not home when it is delivered, you can take it to the nearest FedEx store and tell them that you were not home when it was delivered and that you wish to refuse delivery. They will then return it to Motorola.
Also, you can leave a note on your door stating that you are refusing delivery of the package; just print you name and the date on the note.

Find it hard to believe it was already sent for shipment if it was the US version. When I talked to Motorola today, they still told me that my order was absolutely not shipping any sooner than the 9th. So I finally just canceled... I'll give Amazon a try. Worst case, I saved the money on tax and will have to wait a couple more days if Amazon has their shipping dates backwards as I think they might (though currently my order is still listed as shipping on the 4th). Worth it to go with the guaranteed customer service of Amazon in my opinion.

If you have any plans to use this phone in the future with T-Mobile, it's highly recommended that you get the US version. It contains all of the wireless frequency bands required to get data on T-Mobile.
If you plan to use it only with AT&T in the US, and plan to use the same device when travelling abroad, then the Global version would work better for you as it is more compatible with carriers in other countries.
Im currently using a nexus 5. My screen is broken pretty badlyand and my headphone jack is failing. I really like the specs of the force/turbo. I'm on ATT so I would need to go force. I'd also like to get the force so I can root. But I'm haveing a hard time finding the phone on the market though. Is there anyone in the US that is using the force? If so where did you end up buying it from? Are you enjoying it?
You can get one from Mexico. I've got mine from UK because I went to EU for holidays. I'm really enjoying it. The best Android phone I ever had and the first one I'm using at is. No bl unlock, no root. Strange feeling
Usually I'm unlcoking and flashing custom rom max few days, max one month after purchase.
Did you order from the Motorola EU online store or did you buy it in person somewhere? I looked at the Mexico Motorola store today but it looks like they will only ship to Mexico. Need Google translator to confirm though.

I won it on ebay auction. Few shops from UK selling it too. Jaocagomez can help you to get one from Mexico.
I'm still in Europe (Budapest) on business trip and flying back to San Jose on February 6. Maybe you can order here and I can bring to you. Not sure is it good idea
Thanks, but I'd rather purchase it so it ships directly to me. No middle man hasels.
I did confirm Motorolas Mexico site will only ship to Mexico.
Hunting around I feel like the phone has not been released yet. I know its going to be released in India in February but from the news articals I read the phone was released in november, yet most webistes say preorder or coming soon. Did I miss something? Even some ebay listings reflect this. Unless you want to spend 900$+.

A you wish. I wasn't sure should I offer you help or not, take responsibility, etc.
I saw one on swappa and another one on ebay, both USA sellers but prices was really bad. One from Ebay sold for $810!? Then I've checked sites from the link I posted and contacted them. If you're buying from USA then is without VAT but you're importing it in USA so you have to pay duty, tax and maybe stuck at border to get permission for importing uncertified device.
@BladeRunner could you share details how much you paid all together and did you have any problems at border. Would be really useful info for everyone.

I want to buy from clove store , please confirm is true if I can buy from UK???? I live in NY thanks
Thanks for looking into this so much guys!
With my gears a turning the past couple of days I think im going to hold off though. Id really like to buy straight from motorola. That way if I have any issues I can just deal with them directly. That and I gain the ability to cusomize the phone if I order through them.
Im being optamistic I know but the phone was listed on Mexico's site on Monday and just noticed it was listed for Brazil today. So you never know.
This is definatly a good thread to keep alive incase others are interested like Makiger.
So I thought I would try and do an "over the phone" order to see if there was anything special they could do. Sadly this was unsuccessful. But the agent I spoke with did say something that may be intreeging to some. It honestly could mean nothign or it could mean real soon. Who knows?
Jessel: Oh, I do apologize for that. As of the moment, this Moto X Force is not yet available on our webiste. What I can suggest is to visit third party vendors and see if they already have Moto X Force available here in the US. We looking forward to this phone to be available soon.

I think that agent doesn't have a clue what he's talking He's just repeating generic phrase. Turbo 2 is exclusive for Verizon. Do you really think that Moto can offer basically the same device in US and brake exclusive contract with Verizon?
Don't get me wrong, I would like that Moto didn't even make Turbo 2, just Force globally.

you can buy from the UK, it just takes a while to get it.
A listing just popped up on India Amazon a little early for the rumored release date..
http://www.amazon.in/gp/product/B01A8DQSW2?tag=kostprice-21
PSA:
If you do buy from Clove Technology - or any overseas store - and you're paying with PayPal, make sure to change their default currency conversion to use your credit card's exchange rate instead.
Just priced the phone (Jan 29, 2016) as £431.83 shipped to me in the USA. According to XE.com, that's $613.78 USD with a conversion rate of 1 USD = 0.703554 GBP.
PayPal was giving me a rate @ 1 USD = 0.678425045 GBP, which would make the cost $636.52 USD, or an increase of $22.74, which is a full tank of gas for me.
Good Experience With Handtec
I got mine from Handtec UK (Sorry, can't post a link)
It arrived today in Louisiana from FedEx and it only took about 2 days to get here. No problems with customs or VAT whatsoever. All in all, it cost me around $625 (Used PayPal at Checkout), including shipping. Other than the UK wall plug it came with, I'm very satisfied so far.
