Does anybody know when and where you can get this phone when it comes out? I called T-Mobile (I know they're not going to sell it, but was hoping for some information) and they knew even less than I did. Everything I have read said you must purchase if from google. $530 with no contract or $180 with a two year agreement and you only have one plan to pick from. The supposed retail date is January 5th. You would think they would have done some sort of advertising or at least have something come up on a Google search.
9AM on the 5th @ google.com/phone is the rumor.

Google is in Mountain View, CA. South of San Francisco. Still in the same time zone as Seattle.
The press conference starts at 10 am, so who really knows. How likely are they to open up sales 1 hour before the conference starts? Actually, I would open up sales today if I was google, and let everyone order but the shipments don't arrive until 10AM the day of the conference.

We have root!!!!!
Stericson and PaulOBrien have successfully rooted the Nexus. Even with the price, this even more of a must buy for me now! http://twitgoo.com/aqr00
I'm more interested in the business model for the N1 in this side of the pond.
How much would it cost in Europe?Who will be selling it?Google or HTC? Which carriers would have it for sale?
So far there aren't any news/leaks/rumors regarding the n1 in Europe, so I guess only at 05/01/2010 we will have the full details.
Wow, didn't take long to get it rooted huh? Instant buy for me. Can't wait for that Android 2.1, AMOLED, 5.0 MP w/Flash, 3.7" screen, and 1GHz Snapdragon Processor. Just can't wait!
it will also be possible to buy it at google.com/phone and ship it to europe. Guys at engadget.com have the full terms of sale wich say that this will be possible. Only thing is you will have to pay taxes and the shipping ... but I don't care bout that, just wanna have that phone ;-)
has anyone read the terms and conditions, it says phone might be 430. hope thats true not the 530 thats a little high

I'd also like to know about European release. Hopefully it will be released with HTC Branding (hey I like to rep HTC )
I don't think the rumours of the webpage are true tbh. Although strangely in the terms they make you agree that you understand the phone is made by HTC and not Google =/
After the press conference details, this will be the hottest device on the market! A must have!!
guys, yall gotta check this out!!!! http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/nexus-one-trounces-3d-benchmark-gets-caught-in-high-res-photosh/
oh damn, they removed the 10 min video already!
Nexus One Group on XDA already!!!
Whats all the talk about $29 data SIM about? I wish Google would put some more information out there. I am really looking forward to grabbing one while they're hot.
If it gets released in europe (or ships from usa without tax) i'll sell my iphone and get it asap.

Paid 350ish for mine about a month ago. Should of waited and saved 30 bucks (after tax)! Oh well, awesome deal for anyone who doesn't have one yet.

Got mine today. Saw the coupon on another forum.
They really wanted to sell me the extended warranty. NOPE.
So far I love the tablet. Wish the Power Cord was a Little Longer.
Got mine today... Loving it so far (just wish I had the 3.1 upgrade)... I'll get to that when I get home.
Yeah, the power cord definitely needs to be longer.
I had to pay $470 with tax a couple of months ago. :\
i wanted to buy another but the coupon is not valid online =(

Haha me too they were PUSHING the extended warranty....was over a third of the cost I paid lol ugh good luck
Just got back from Staples, bought 2! Just $328 each after tax! Can't wait for it to finish charging and hack the hell out of it!
Did everyone wait the full 4 hours to charge before using it? Or is that just bs?
got mine coupon working at Office Depot, go go go get it , very YMMV

Oh I'm sure it works right away no problem, but overall does this affect long term battery? I'm assuming it may require the battery to be recalibrated at some point for optimal performance/capacity. This is more of a general battery question, not specific to the A500...

I plugged mine in, it was full charged in less than 2. Good thing I don't think I could have waited any longer. The quick start guide said 4 hrs and the instructions said 8 I think. And I think you should be able to plug it in and turn it on, they just mean don't turn it on and drain the battery before giving it a full charge.
Just did it!

This is good news even for us early adopters who paid the full $450. Pretty much the rule of thumb on XDA is the more popular the device the more development occurs for it! I'm usually NOT an early adopter and I don't think I've ever paid MSRP on any other electronic device I've ever purchased, but even at MSRP the A500 was the cheapest, best tablet out there, so I still feel liked I saved quite a few $ over, say, an iPad or iPad2 or Xoom, etc.
If the price goes any lower, it's going to be cheaper than my HTC Evo phone was -- subsidized from Sprint!
I work for Staples and the first I heard of this coupon was this thread.
I freaked for a second because I just bought my Acer 5 days ago, when we had the $50 off coupon on Any Laptop/Tablet. That was valid 7/13-7/16
I pad around $350 for the tablet after that and my employee discount.
I texted my manager. Tomorrow I'm getting a price guarantee exchange.
After my discount and tax, I'll pay roughly 280 for it.
We have to push the warranties, for no other reason than to keep our jobs.
We don't earn anything from it, other than a pat on the back from big brother, and momentary job security. In today's economy, Staples doesn't offer us any legitimate cut of the ridiculous profits of these plans, unless you work in one of the top 5 selling stores in the US. Then you might get an extra $50-100 a MONTH. Which isn't much incentive for the kind of pressure they put on us.
And if we don't sell, we get disciplined, in terms of hour cuts or termination.
However I will say in retrospect, the warranties on the tablets are a bit better than the laptops. You get battery coverage and they're all accidental. You break it? -- Battery stops holding a charge? Replacement or reimbursement.
If you break down the price divided by the amount of time monthly, it costs and covers things on par with cell phone insurance, except unfortunately it has to be paid entirely up front.
That's my two cents, from an Easy Certified Tech, desperately searching for a real tech job in a crappy economy.
Sweet! thanks man
Possibly going to get this. Do you think this is still a good buy? Will the tablet remain relevant for a while? Can't beat the price, that's for sure.
SO listen to this...
Went to the store. They listed it at $449. I asked them to look it up and they said they'd give it to me for the online price of 399. The the dude came back and told me he was out except for one that was returned. I asked if he'd give me a discount on it and he said 10%. When I checked out, with the coupon, it all came to 289 after taxes! Same 14 day return and warranty. There was nothing wrong with it. If there is, I can go return it for a new one if I so wish...or at least return it.
This was seriously the deal of the century! xD
I got my A500 32GB from CostCo on 7/4 -- $500ish after taxes. Took a CWM backup after rooting. Came with the annoying Acer case and HDMI cable.
(I got an HDMI cable off ebay for pennies.)
Got this 16GB Staples model for $300.
Went on Amazon, got a nice case and a shiny 32GB SD.
Everything aside, the A500 is pretty much the best. Same specs, no fuss, runs every ROM -- what's not to like?

I was actually curious about this as well. It came 50% or so charged, used it immediately.
well, every half hour here in Australia I was refreshing the nex4 16gb store page, every half hour didnt really seem to be enough, because the 16gb version was sold out here in less than 20 minutes. what its going to be like for the rest of you guys, im not sure.
also for anyone that was relying on the email going out to notify you that its availabe, dont, I never got one!
just some info there for you guys.
Frustrated that i dont have a Nexus 4 though
Hmm. Maybe I should buy two and flip. Lol.

Like Tescos. Damn it.
time?
what time did it go on sale in Australia? 12am or 8am?
Around 12.15 pm Sydney time. That'll be +11 GMT. Strange time if you ask me.
so i guess the sale starts around 12pm local time everywhere. would be better if people from other parts of the world can confirm the sale time.
Yeah someone please confirm the time !
Nov 13 isn't coming soon enough!
Was lucky enough to pick up a 16GB Nexus 4
Checked my phone at 12.03pm Adelaide Time or 12.33pm Sydney time and saw the "Add to Cart"
Now just gotta wait for it to get shipped. ^^
I am in Melbourne Australia, I doubt the nexus 4 sold out. Here is what I think happened:
Someoen made them available too early for us AUstralians by mistake and went 'woops' later and put it back to coming soon.
This could well be true because:
1. 12:15 PM for available release time is weird
2. Not a lot of Australians know about the nexus 4 as most Australians are iSheeps and they wouldn't know about this availability on november 13th unless they were reading android news.
3. And with not that much people knowing about it, and just in general tit would be impossible for them to run out of stock in less than half an hour, even the iphones which is marketed profesionally isnt even able to do that (get sold out in less than 30 mins)
4. Many people have called google and they have said that there will be no seperate times, 12 AM PST
5. 1 more hour and 15 minutes until 12 AM PST guys lets keep our hopes up

But the 8GB version was available for a longer period of time. If what you assume is true, they would have fixed all accidents at once...

Then how did Sparky_boi order one genius, you were too slow, I gotta wait until next month to ship it from States via a relative and wanna make sure it comes with a case and screen protector so its gonna be a LOOONG wait
I tried to order N4 and N10 and added them to my cart and tried to checkout but google just gave me an error and deleted my cart.
After repeating the precedure 5 times the devices eventually got sold out.
Any word ontwhen the next batch will be released, or even guesses?
Theyre already on ebay for 450+ for the 8gb version.. ewwww
Haha, one of the local kijiji ads have one for 1000 bucks :S
Went on sale at 11:40 exact on EST here in New York. Snagged one just in time, and my order went through and I got a confirmation email so now I am awaiting for it to be shipped!
The Galaxy S8 forums had one of these threads during the first couple weeks of the phone being out, its kind of like general discussion and complaining about how long it takes for our phones to ship (you all know how it is).
Personally, I'm going to wait about a week after the 5T goes on sale so that I can get as much info as possible from reviews and disassembly, etc. Better ship with FedEx
How about everyone else? Thoughts/concerns/complaints?
(mods: if this isn't the kind of thing that belongs here feel free to close the thread )

I'm just trying to decide between the 64 or 128gb version. I have never bought the top end version of a phone before. Seriously considering the 128gb version. Nice thing is, I can sell my s8 for £330 as well. I have an old htc one m7 lying around, which I may use in the in the mean time.
EDIT updated address to go to my work address. No change on delivery time. By end of day tomorrow!

Yeah I'm really torn. The 8 is overkill for my use and the 128 is overkill, but but but... I'm less than half full on my 32 gig 6p lol. This really shouldn't be a hard decision.
Waiting for news from O2 to see when they're shipping my pre order. hopefully they'll be an email around 2PM, launch time.
Feel a bit sorry for my friend who bought a OnePlus 5 about a week before this phone was rumored, but at least i'll be able to directly compare it in person.
EDIT: I spoke too soon! I just got the tracking number email from O2 15 mins later, woo!
I also spoke with live chat to clarify if the phone will come fully unlocked so i'm not stuck with O2. The guy scared me by initially saying yes, it was locked to O2, but i asked him to double check, and no it's not locked, phew!

You can sell your s8 more than that. I was hoping atleast £420. I'll be ordering as soon as sale goes up. Getting the 128gb version as I'm getting 10% student discount. And will sell my s8. This is the first Samsung device I would hate to let go. S8 will always have special place

Short aswer is covid-19..
Long answer. The OnePlus 8 Pro was out of stock the first time around when pre-orders were made. It took less than a minute for me to put the OnePlus 8 Pro into my cart, sign in to PayPal and go back to the OnePlus site and they were sold out that quick. Second time around when they made the full launch I was already signed into PayPal and after I made my purchase and probably less than a minute I refreshed the page and they were sold out. So long answer these phones are high demand even at $1,000 a pop.
Buying out right seems no stock anywhere even amazon haven't had stock for weeks now ,
again prob down to manufacturing sites not operating during covid , I gave up waiting and ordered through three network in the UK only place seem to have stock rather more expensive buying out right from them I ended up just getting one on a 24 month contract hot the glacier green 12GB coming tomorrow fingers crossed [emoji1696]

I mean to buy outright with 3 it 975 then I have a to buy a sim and the lowest 1 they do is a 10 pound 1. So that is 985 for a phone which is 899 to buy everywhere else. I don't know how 3 can do that.
Its bit ridiculous and don't understand how they can charge more than the manufacturer Rrp tbh
Suppose they need make something on it I bought the oneplus 8 out right from amazon have donated that to the Mrs as her iPhone died couldn't justify another 1k nearly to buy out right so went with the £29 up front fee and £52 a month tariff little more than I'd want to pay a month tbh but I did go for the 12gb 256gb model so that bumped it up and I get 5G as well so not so bad , just had dpd update arriving around 11:30/12:30 [emoji51][emoji7]

Hola
It seems like you Europeans have access to buy the device at either local retailers (carriers) and even online directly from OnePlus (even though it is currently out of stock). In Canada we can only buy it online from OnePlus, it they have been out of stock for more than 1 week. Not sure why OnePlus doesn't have ample stock for a newly released device. I am also hoping that the next wave of devices have little or no screen issues. If you look at SuperSaf's latest review of the OnePlus 8 Pro, you'll see that even he had a device with screen issues so I know that the issue isn't as small as some tout it to be!

I don't think eBay links are allowed here. But I've found myself using my iPhone more so I have my 256GB Ultra Marine Blue 8 Pro on eBay. Included is the wireless charger and some cases. I also put a red DBrand skin on it so I will leave that on and also include an extra one. If anyone is seriously interested you can PM me for the link. Buy It Now is $1,099 because it's got the charger and over $100 In cases. You can also bid.
