My best friend has a $200 gift card burning a hole in his pocket since July, And loves my Nexus 7 and I keep telling him to wait because demand was so high eventually Best Buy will sell the NExus 7 but time has passed and its not looking that way.
What gives?
i actually called my loacl best buy a few days after release because i was looking for one and customer service informed me that they would have it in stock soon but i have not called back since do to finding one elsewhere. however i do think they will get it, at some point.
A few years back I had a best buy gift card for 50 bucks, didn't need anything at the store....so I found something for 50 and returned it the next day and got cash back.
Not sure if it would work in that amount, buy worth a shot.
You could sell it on Craigslist for not much less, I've done it before.

I got a bunch of best buy cards from that viggle app in hopes of buying a nexus 7. When I realized that they weren't going to sell it I sold the cards on plasticjungle. Com for 85%. Transferred the cash straight to my PayPal account.
I just bought mine at best buy yesterday...? But this was in Canada so maybe it's only Canadian best buys? Weird that Canada actually gets something before the states haha

Its really weird that the don't. Google is losing a lot of sales by not being there.

On that note, I only knew that best buy sold it because I made a spur of the moment decision to check the website. The store didn't even have them out on demo so I almost left empty handed but decided to ask an employee.
I think they're still having stocking problems. My local Walmart only have 3 each, and they just received them in the past few days. I have no idea why Walmart would have them instead of Best Buy, but maybe they just sold out fast? That's my opinion...

BestBuy has them, in stores here the US.. At least that is where I got mine.
Try calling the stores in your area. I had to called 4 of them until I found one that had a 16GB in-stock.
Could always has the person they got the giftcard from if they still have the receipt, then return it for cash.
i bet apple is restricting the sales at best buy. best buy is really apple friendly, at least here in so Cal.
My life for Aiur
You can go there, use your gift cards for other gift cards they have. I believe they have Amazon as well there.
huh...
At my bestbuy even if I just mention the nexus 7, a worker says "we don't carry the nexus 7 and will never carry it " I've heard that 3 times now, once when I was just talking to a friend about the one I bought at office depot. SO its kinda like they are obligated to say that? Hah who knows!
Before continuing on, I work for Best Buy, for another week.

Best Buy Canada does carry the Nexus 7. Best Buy USA does not. The reason is BBYC has different agreements than BBYUSA.

How did you buy the Nexus 7 at a BBYUSA? If so can you please post a pic of the survey code at the bottom?

We are not obligated to say that. It's just that Samsung and Amazon contracts make it so that BBYUSA cannot sell the Nexus 7 due to agreements between the two.
Really sucks, I went to Office Max.

I thought I read somewhere that Apple demanded certain Google products not be sold at Best Buy...not sure why something like a GS3 or Galaxy Tab 2 doesn't qualify....but I'm willing to bet thats the main reason BB hasn't carried them from DAY #1.
Anything can change at any time....and hope it does.
It probably has something to do with the price and the threat the nexus 7 poses to Apple.

It's actually amazon's fault BB is not carrying the Nexus 7 or 10. They threatened to pull their products out if BB decided to carry those tablets. Obviously with so many variations of the Kindle BB would end up losing money if Amazon did pull their products so it makes sense for them. it's just stupid retail politics

Sucks to live in a country where unethical behavior like this is allowed...
If this is true, it clearly falls foul of several of these:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_antitrust_law
When I went to the US in October (Portland, ME) I had a really hard time finding an N7. Best Buy told me that they "Don't sell Google products" and I was like, ooookay. So after a bit of muffing about I finally found one at Staples. And they only had one in stock, so I snatched it up immediately.
Best Buy just had your standard iPad's, Nook's, and a few Samsung tablets. Really horrible selection, at least the one I went to was like that.
Hi, unfortunately my Nexus 7 fell out of its case and now the screen is cracked. I'm using it with a mouse and keyboard now, as the touchscreen is the only thing not working.
I'm travelling right now and will be in the States for a few days, Fort Lauderdale and Miami to be exact.
As it'll be my first time in the country, I was wondering if someone could tell me if there are shops where I could sell my cracked Nexus 7 and how much I could expect?
Also, where can I buy a used Galaxy Nexus there?
Thanks!

We don't really have stuff like that here dude. There's shops by Miami international airport but I wouldn't recommend that. Try putting it in craigslist and list it as for parts.
BTW craigslist.com is a classifieds site, not sure if you know that since you're not from the US.

man if you make it here to orlando I might be needing one by the looks of it.

Hey, yes it'd be cool if we could work something out. I am going to be in Miami between the 18th and 21st of this month. I am not looking for another Nexus 7, as I'm heading down to South America for another month and a Galaxy Nexus would be perfect in terms of portability. Let me know what you think!

If you're going to be in the USA for more than 3-4 days and you know someone here, I would recommend you just buy it through the Play store (or have them buy it and pay them back when you get here). It's 2-3 days shipping as they force you to pay for that and it's about $10 on top of the cost of the phone + tax.
The main reason is that if someone is selling what is more or less a new phone on Craigslist, there is a VERY high probability something is wrong with it. Like a friend of mine who going a Galaxy S III off eBay and now is stuck with a piece of crap that reboots itself randomly 5-6 times a day...or like when I bought a GS2 off Craigslist only to find it randomly powers off whenever it feels like it. So even if it seems fine when you check it out, you might be buying crap.
In other words, you are probably buying someone's problems in the high end phone area. You might also consider buying it new from a place that sells phones off contract. Most retails stores allow that as well. Not worth the $50-75 you might save buying it "used" off Craigslist.
if you want, id be interested in purchasing it from you. just let me know how much you are asking and maybe we can work something out.

Thanks for the info. Do you know how much tax it will be? From what I've read it should be 6% in Florida. Is that right? Buying it brand new is also an option for me, as it is still considerably cheaper than in the UK. From a quick search it seems most retailers don't sell the Galaxy Nexus for $349, as offered in the Play Store. Am I right in believing that?

Looks like 7% in Miami. Yes, $349 is the MSRP, so $373 should be your price when all done. Unless you go Play store, then add about another $9-12 for shipping.

Thanks for the info! I will probably get it off Amazon for $390 (the white version), because I can't buy the phone through the Play store outside of the US and I am not too keen on using a proxy website.

I may sound inpatient but i'm sick of waiting months for android devices i want (asus transformer infinity). I currently have a wp htc mozart which im dying to give up for a nexus 4.

I would day wait. It's a while now since Google stopped accepting orders, surely it can't be long now till they open up again?
Up to you though, of course.

I personally was also tempted to buy one off ebay! Some of the prices weren't actually that bad. Considering the fact that google does charge you for the shipment you can get one off ebay for about £300, I even saw one sold on auction for £280. However coming to think about it more, the question remains that in case of a fault with the phone, replacement or customer service who do you deal with? The seller or ebay? Surely it has to be the seller since was bought off play store under his/her name to his/her address right?!
Just remember that Google will not handle any warranty claims if you're not the original purchaser and that purchase was from Google play. They'll tell you to go to LG for any issues.

Wait. That's what I'm doing. I doubt they will ever release it in the Netherlands, but I'm just going to import it from another country.
I keep my eye on ebay though. Sometimes you can get a good deal, but most of the time the price goes up pretty fast.

You can sell it when the marketplace opens again: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=476
It's going to become available some time this week for sure! It's only logical, they shipped all the 2nd round orders, Canada's shipment was resumed and T-Mobile US is getting stocks. Unless google is planning to pile up N4's in their back doors then they are gonna put it back up for sale.
I bought mine off of eBay, don't regret at all!
i sold and unopened new nexus 4 on ebay. i set it up as a bid selling item, and was able to sell it for 475$
what sucks tho is that ebay took 45 dollars of that sale plus paypal got 14$. in the end i didnt really make much more than what i paid for. I wont be selling electronics on ebay again.
You could also try Kijiji or Craigslist and get it the next day like I did. Just be very careful
im going to take the risk found a pretty decent offer considering it comes with bumper as well, hopefully google dont make a fool out of me but i understand how some say if its damage what you going to do? Well considering Google cant get their game together, I can't imagine it being very easy to repair or help out. Thanks all for your opinions.

Got my N4 today! Like you I started considering getting it off ebay but then came across Carphone Warehouse deals and I got it for £379 16GB with £10 pound top up.
PROS:
-Got it in Store so no Shipping cost
-Got it it in Hand today
-Resealable price considering they are sold on Ebay over £400
-14 Days return and refund (So if in 14 days google restocks.. )
-It's Carphone Warehouse a trusted retailer and in case of a issue you ain't dealing with a seller on Ebay!
CONS:
-I'm in UK so don't know about other countries
-Very few branches actually have it (If you live in London I got mine in Kilbern High Road) Otherwise go on the store locator find all the stores around you and use the stock checker to see if it's available
No way I got my nexus in Kilburn Highroad as well
BTW its only 28days exchange policy you can't get a refund for it only one exchange if faulty

I am currently changing my family over to T-Mobile and had ordered an HTC One for both my wife and I and we received them yesterday. I activated my wife's phone as well as my daughter's phone but I have not done my phone yet. Honestly, I have said for awhile that I want a Nexus Phone, and since the phone is almost half the cost of the HTC One it helps saving money to be able to get a Nexus 5 when it comes out.
Now here are my questions and hoping you all could help guide me: With Google I/O starting tomorrow should I get the phone now or wait to see what is announced at Google I/O (Though it sounds like the Nexus 5 won't be announced until October / November)? I ordered these phones via phone so can I return this HTC to the T-Mobile store? And since I want to return this and I they already requested my phone number to be transferred should I get the Nexus 4 from T-Mobile or order from Google Play (I have NO IDEA why the same phone is $130 more on T-Mobile but I will look that one up).
Any advice would be very helpful! Thanks!

The reason why it's cheaper on the Play store because Google sells them at a loss. More precisely they don't make any profit off the phones at such a low price tag. That's why T-Mobile and perhaps some other retailers will sell them for a higher price to make a few bucks off of it.
Since all Nexus 4 are the same you might as well get one from the Play Store. If anything goes wrong, Google can get you a replacement. It's also much cheaper. It comes unlocked so feel free to use it on any GSM carrier.
I think you should wait and see what happens tomorrow at the I/O conference. It seems though a new Nexus smartphone won't be released until the very end of the year.

Lol. They don't need the money. I'm not really sure why they do it. When the new Nexus 7 tablet comes out this summer they're gonna lose $5-$10 for each device sold.
Another interesting thing is that the Galaxy S4 costs about $237 to make. Buying it without a contract will cost you over $600-$700. Crazy, huh?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
They are trying to introduce more people to the play store and android experience, that's why the price is lower. Wait a day and see what happens. But if it comes down to your question about should you return HTC one for the nexus 4, I would. You'll have extra $200 to buy accessories or maybe donate some $$ to charity.

Wait until tomorrow just to see if there will be a storage bump. You can return to tmobile within 14days (30 in CA) as long as you are a new customer, for renewals tmobile no longer has a "cooling off" period so I'm not sure what the process on returns is. Buy from Google. The Samsung S4's BOM (cost of materials) is <$250 now the cost to research/market the phone I find hard to believe would come in at $500 (assuming a $750 unlocked selling price) and yet that is what they want you to believe...my point is Tmo sells the N4 for $130 more because they can and that is what people are used to paying.

So the first article has conjecture and rumor from "analysts". The last 2 are about the nexus 7, a different device, but also say that google is making very little money or selling at cost (which means they aren't losing money and is believable.)
None of the articles have anything to do with you contradicting yourself nor do they have any info from google concerning the cost of the device so...you still contradicted yourself and you still don't know how much money they are/aren't making.

Yep, "we" have known for awhile that these devices only have $200-$300 worth of parts in them and google is using their size to push down prices for devs. Unfortunately it isn't doing anything for the general price of phones, in the US at least, since most people are still on contracts
Google is an advertising company at heart, everything they do is geared towards getting people online 24/7. Hardware is a loss leader

You can play with the new Note 4 at Best Buy starting today. Hopefully some of you will get us some good videos to check out.
I want the edge but I'll go check it out and take some video and pics
Went down to my local Best Buy after reading this. No Note 4. In fact the person behind the desk didn't even know when the Note 4 was coming out. She tried to sell me the Note 3 though. Gonna try in a few days and see what turns up.
I know most stores do have them. Read the other posts for the Note 4 I put out there if you want to check out pics.

Yeh saw that. Don't doubt it but my local Best Buy may be behind a day or something and the girl behind the counter could be brand new. Gonna head there this weekend and check it out.
Preordered Note 4 today at Best Buy. Had to buy a 50$ gift card as a deposit, not sure if this is legit or not but I didn't argue as I can put it towards the phone when it arrives. Also confirmed (or so the sales associate says) that *any* working smartphone, even if it has a $0 trade-in value can be used for the $200 rebate. I plan on trading in my old Treo!
My local Best Buy had it but it wasn't in the cell phone department. There was a separate Samsung display.

What do you mean for free?
The local best buy had only the white note 4 on display. It was really nice... But not really much different than the Note 3.
Sorry, a friend gave me a phone to use as a trade in for free. As opposed to buying one off CL.

Ahh OK cool. I thought you meant that you were getting a free note 4 Lol.
Just pre-ordered mine yesterday at Best Buy. With the $200 deal, I couldn't pass it up. I'm going to find my old HTC windows 6 phone to trade in.
i had a few spare devices from perktv, trading in one of the zte avids i bought for 10 bucks ;D.
anyone looking for stupid cheap devices id suggest metropcs cdma phones, they are slowly shutting down the cdma network and they are older and pretty worthless phones by todays standards can get most for under 20 bucks.
Yeah BBY does this sometimes. It's their way of "committing" you to the pre-order to some degree. Also Pre-ordered mine
