Aria no contract for $340 at amazon

For anyone wanting to buy an Aria without contract, the lowest I've seen is at Amazon for $339.99. That's $30-$40 cheaper than other places.
Amazon link

I submitted my order in the beginning of last week, and waited and waited and waited for it to ship. On Friday, I ended up cancelling it and getting the unit at an AT&T store.

My plan is to get this a few days from now (waiting on an Amazon.com gift card). Hopefully they won't jack the price up or run out of stock in the meantime.

They are out of stock or something. Like the other poster above, I ordered last week (on the 21st), still waiting... the delivery date was just delayed again yesterday.

Anyone got it from amazon with no contract yet? almost a week with 1 day delivery for extra $$ and it is being delayed..

Nope, ordered on the 21st... was just delayed until July 6th... third delay so far. I ordered with the free two day shipping and somehow they upgraded me to one day at no charge... probably due to all my emails asking about the delays.

i waited a few days and ended up cancelling my order. customer service had no answer for why it kept on being delayed.

Hmm... any received the htc aria from amazon yet?

I ordered mine last sunday. It was delayed and wasn't delivered until the following monday. In the end it's here now and I'm pretty happy.

I got my Aria from Amazon, it just took a little longer than I expected. I'm all, a little under a week with one day shipping.

Check the marketplace for one for 300

What marketplace?

This version without contract is already unlocked for an use worldwide?

It's only off contract from AT&T, it's not unlocked.
Additionally, the ability to easily unlock the phone varies. Some users report finding unlock codes with no issue, my phone and a few others appear to require extra effort on the part of the unlocker, and thus more money to do so.

Would you pay $600/£370...?

I just can't wait to get my hands on the Nexus 4 and will most likely pay that extra cost just to get it before Christmas.
For me as I have to import the device, the difference is only £30.
So the question is, would you pay that premium to get the device, say, next week?

Hell yea!!!!

For $600 you can almost buy 2 of them and keep one as a spare in case you break the first. And even that wouldn't be a good investment in my opinion. So paying $600 for just 1 is absolutely absurd.
Just wait a little longer. I love the phone but would never pay more than ~$50 to get one sooner. Hell, from what I've been reading, those who ordered last week and received notifications of 2-3 week shipping delays are already starting to get their phones this week. Just order it from Google Play now and I'll bet you will have it before Christmas. And if not, you give up a little time with the phone to keep ~$300 in your bank account.
But if you are in the mood to just throw money away, I'll sell you my Galaxy nexus for $400. I can ship it tonight so you get it fast too.

If your in that of a rush into getting it, then go for it. But take in mind, that the nexus 4 was ment to be an awesome packed machine for a low price, but the fact is that your paying more for it is not that worth it, but if you really care for it i'd suggest that you purchase it.

Upgrading/Exchange to 8GB

Does Google allow upgrades from the 8GB to the 16GB version (Obviously paying the extra for the 16GB version), I got my Nexus 4 on Wednesday so still within the 15 days. The 5.6GB just isn't enough for me unfortunately. Should I just get a refund and buy the 16GB or do Google allow swapping the 8 for the 16 while paying the extra.

You'll have to return it and place an order for the 16gb model

Cheers, I thought that might be the case. Whats the time-frame for refunds with Google?

What did Google say when you asked them or checked their website?

Not much just that a refund can be initiated within 15 days of receiving the device, no information on refund time-frames. I will probably just get a refund and order the 16GB model. Great device though my last Android device was the SGS2 and the smoothness alone with no hiccups is leaps and bounds above the SGS2.

Wow that's quite a long time. Is that a what Google say or is that what most people have been experiencing?

Google charges a restocking fee
I looked into it and if you wanted to request a refund, you would have to pay a 15% restocking fee, which works out to around you losing about $47 dollars. Some people are still reporting that they are having trouble getting the device on time though.

That's how long it took for me when I returned my n7. If you tell them that the phone is defective and want to return it they won't charge you the restocking fee

I'm in the UK so restocking fees don't apply to me as I'm covered by the distance selling regulations. I've read a few posts regarding returns and refund time but they are all related to the N7 and all seem to be as long as yours. Hopefully Google is a little faster for me. Cheers for your help.

As another possible solution is to sell your 8gb nexus 4 and then buy yourself a nexus 4 16gb afterwards.

Nexus 6 - $150 off @ Google Store

$150 for both 32GB and 64GB versions. It may be temporary price so act fast if you are in market for new unlocked Nexus 6.

Woohoo!!!! Oh wait, I already have one. But I can't complain, mine was $489 free shipping 5 weeks ago. No accessories though. $500 would have been a good price from the beginning, and they would have sold a lot more. Oh well. Good price for those still wanting one.

thanks...
just bought mine yesterday. supposed to be delivered on thursday.
Shipped
1 Nexus 6 (64GB, Cloud White) $699.00. hopefully they will do a price adjustment for me.

I don't think price alone affected low sales. Poor marketing. This was meant to compete with other flagship phablets. And they did a piss poor job. For the average person they don't care about "pure android" or timely updates. They want the latest and greatest. Seems like Google didn't do much to market this phone for people outside of the people who already have/own/want a nexus. Nexus crowd expect a cheaper price and were turned off by the size. If Google wanted this to sell better they should have marketed as a competitor to the iPhone 6+ and Note 4.

I bought mine 30 days ago. So how long they go back to do price adjustment?

that makes me feel better. i will update here as soon as i find out.
thanks.

I coincidentally was purchasing one from the Play store when this price change occurred. Was looking at Amazon Warehouse deals and noticed new 64gb were the same price.
Wanted to swait and see what the next Nexus 5 had in store, but my Galaxy Nexus is finally croaking and well past its prime. Should have a new phone this evening. Then time to cut my Sim and wait for Google Fi so I can cut VZW.

They will reimburse you if you have a recent buy through them, got mine a week ago n they helped me out which is great!!

I just got off the phone with Google. They had my joy on a yoyo string. First it was yes we can refund. then no we cant, because you're out of the 15 day refund period( by 1 day!!!). So I told her I havent connected it because of waiting on project fi. But also explained i was looking to maybe get the S6 and just return the nexus 6. I continued to tell her I saw online that google dropped the price and some people have gotten the difference refunded. She spoke to the manager and he said "no don't lose the sale just refund the difference"
So the $150 is suppose to post in my account in 2days.
Fyi there's a 15 day refund policy. they can work around that if you threaten to return the phone. Also. I'm sure if it's been more than 30days it won't work either way.

they did refund me the difference.
here is the email i got.......
Thank you for contacting Google about your recent Nexus 6 order!
In keeping with our Price Protection Policy, I've refunded you the difference in price resulting from our recent price reduction.
If there is anything else you need, please do not hesitate to reach out, and congratulations on your new phone!
Thanks,

Nexus 6p pre order question

If i pre order the nexus 6p will the funds be taken out of my bank account. Or will they charge me upon releasing the device ?

FWIW: I pre-ordered mine from the Google Store yesterday and I have a pending charge on my credit card for the full amount.

Same here, hopefully they'll release the charge and then put it through when it ships. The email confirmation says they don't charge until shipment.

From another thread I saw posters say that they charge you right away, but after 3-5 days the charge drops off until it gets ready to ship.

Are you trying to order it without having funds in your bank if so your card will decline as Google pre authorizes the entire amount of the purchase, they hold onto the funds for about a 3-5 days, release the pre authorization and then might run the pre authorization again two weeks later, this again stays on For 3-5 days, once the phone ships then the funds truly are taken out, but before then basically holds your money hostage till shipment.

Huawei is offering financing for up to 12 months. The finance charges are about $90 for the twelve months bit at least I didn't have to take a huge hit on my Amex card.

I ordered mine but, there is no charge pending on my card. I wish there was, then I would feel like they really intend on sending it. Hopefully they will bill me when they send it.

I called google and the representative told me that we hold the funds on your account and wont be fully charged until the device ships.
