I stopped in and the associate setting up the Xoom for display said that all BB received only 5 Xooms: 1 for display and 4 for preorder. Wonder if this is true.
Well I know my Best Buy only received 5. And unfortunately, I was not one of the first to pre-order. So I can't pick one up today. I have to wait for them to call me when more come in.
I will call my local best buy and see what they say. Luckily I am in a fairly small market and when new tech toys like this come out they usually aren't sold out super fast.
Guess I was a few minutes early they hadn't opened when I called so I will call them back in a bit and see what information I can get then.
That may be true for many stores but mine had 11.
Yep, mine had 10.
I saw the inventory screen at the Best Buy at Union Sq last night and it showed the NYC stores are getting between 5 - 10 each.
Just heard back and he said from what they were told by corporate its was a minimum 5 per store kinda like their black friday deals.
I was able to walk in and buy one without a preorder here in MA. There wasnt even anyone in there picking one up just me. I did someone talking about tablets while I was being rung up and they said "thats just an Ipad ripoff" I looked over and to my shock it was a teenage girl saying that lol!
I was told I couldn't get free buyback and I needed to activate. I needed to get back to work so I didn't argue I'll just call Verizon and cancel tonight. I really dont care about the buyback program either, looks lame to me.
Also they told me I had 30 days to return the tablet since there was no contract!
anyone buy the 130 accident replacement plan?
Mines had 15 and I got the second to last one

I got mine on release day in a store in NYC b/c i really wanted it.
Recently a friend asked me what tablet to get and i said i really love my 7, does everything and is cheap. Then he looks into it and wants to buy it, goes to 2 stores and they basically laugh at him.
It looks so bad when you are trying to win over new customers that no one even sells your product. Where can I tell him to go to buy it. I know staples, but thats embarssing in itself.
Online. Walmart has it too. I couldn't believe best buy doesn't sell it.

WalMart. This past weekend, one of my local WalMarts had 6 of them, and another one had 3. They don't advertise that they have them, there is no sample on display, and there are no signs. Just Nexus boxes locked up in the glass cabinet.
Every other store around here never has them in stock. Sam's Club, Staples and Gamestop have signs but no stock and no display model.
Game stop I went to had advertising everywhere but sold out. Said they sell too fast to keep in stock. Called for me and found one store that has a few in stock
This is in SLC, UT

He could install google shopper on a device of his and see what store nearby have it through that,
I got mine from staples
I got mine from office depot a few days ago. An 8gb one too. Not many stores carry the 8gb one. The Walmart by me had like 20 16gb ones in stock but I decided to buy mine in Oregon so no tax

RE
Walmart didn't stock them in my area.
Neither did GameStop, but they said they could order it for me...
Staples did stock them, but quickly sold out.
I ended up getting the second to last one at Office Depot.
Walmart at my local store in NJ still has some, that's where I got it.
You might be about to go to their website and find out who has it locally or maybe call customer service.
I've been due for an upgrade since June (Sprint OG EVO on its last leg). I was planning on getting a GS3 on a Tmobile value plan for some time but now that this awesome looking phone is out I'm pretty sure I'm going to get it. I'm just torn if I should pre-order it (when available) or not. I would really love to have a brand new Nexus 4 next week , but I'd be willing to wait a few more weeks just to save some $$$
So part of me wants to wait it out a few weeks until black friday rolls around in the hopes that there will be some good deals. Is this phone going to be too new though? Too new to not even have black friday deals?
Thoughts/opinions?
Just saw the same question asked in another thread.... sorry for posting this! please disregard...
Honestly I don't think you will find a better deal than the play store
Anything's possible, but I would doubt that they would be blowing out the N4 on Black Friday. They might throw in a PlayStore credit or something but it will only be out for less than two weeks.
I'm not waiting...
If you look at all the past Nexus Phones I don't think you'll find any Black Friday deals or any sales on them at all. Don't get the play store stuff mixed up with retailers like the Nexus 7. N7 Sales were the work of the stores, not the Play Store. This phone will only be sold via T-Mobile at an inflated price.
I heard buy 1 get 1 free but only at the google play b&m store and only for the first 100 people standing in line.
Have the retailers for Nexus 4 been announced yet?
Will the no-contract version be available at Walmart or Sam's?
I still have a sour taste in my mouth with Play Store from Nexus 7 launch.
So I would rather use a B&M retailer if I can.
Select T-mobile locations are supposed to get them. I called a local one here in SE Michigan and was told that they should know Monday if they will carry the Nexus 4 at their store or not. If not, they can order it and get it for you.
I don't know if the Nexus 4 will be available at other B&M locations other than T-Mobile, but at least you should be able to check the phone out at one of their locations.

That's a really good question. I haven't heard of any, and from the way Google is eating costs on the Nexus 4, I doubt many B&M retailers would WANT to carry it (and Google might not want to pay B&M stores to carry it when they have it in the Play Store with less overhead).
I think T-Mobile may be the only place as of now, and they won't have Play Store pricing.
I was waiting until the S8 came out to trade in my Note7. So, I went to an AT&T store today to preorder. They told me the deadline (Dec. 31, 2016) for exchanging the Note7 had passed, and that I wouldn't get any credit toward the S8. They did let me restart my Next plan, but I'm back at month 0 and the money I paid in for the Note7 is gone.
Is this correct? I don't see anything on the AT&T website about a deadline. Was there a notification about it as part of the software updates (which I had blocked)?
And would this mean, for someone who had bought the phone outright rather than on the Next plan, that AT&T would give them nothing when they brought the Note7 back? There is certainly no incentive to return it in that situation, assuming they want the remaining devices back.
Actually, it gets somewhat worse. The store ordered the wrong phone for me (S8 instead of S8 Plus) and there is a charge on my bill for $613.77 that shouldn't be there. I called the store and they said to call customer service. I called customer service and they said to go back to the store.
Hey bro, I just returned my note 7 (and the case) last Thursday for a FULL REFUND. They dropped $294.64 in my account. My at&t next was void and then I could start a new one.
You made the mistake by asking what your phone was worth. You must say I want a full refund for my note 7 and all the accessories. I kept hearing this December 31st date but it's nothing official. What they mean to say is after the last update (around December 31st) you will not be able to charge your phone. But we blocked those updates.
I then went to best buy mobile where they have the best offer for the s8 plus. You get $100 off... Yes $100 off PLUS all the Samsung promotions (gear vr and controller)
Hope you can go back and speak to the manager.
Keep me posted...

That's interesting. Thanks for the info.
The manager at the store said there was a December 31 deadline. I sat there and looked through the AT&T website, and told him there was no deadline listed there. He said, "Well, it says that in our info."
I also went through the online chat when I got home. They said I couldn't get any credit for the installments already paid.
After going back to the store today, I did at least get them to remove the $613.77 charge they had put on my account (which they acknowledged was an error, charging me to pay off the Next plan on the Note7).
It's great you got them to give you a refund. Maybe I'll take another crack at calling customer service after I actually give them the phone back.

Dude, I would be threatening them with a call to the Consumer Protection Agency.
I didn't receive anything that says I had to turn my Note in by Dec 31, have them show you where they sent that message to you.
AT&T Store Return
I was a victim of Samsung's mandatory update last week, while still waiting to (hopefully) exchange it for a S8+. I had originally bought mine full price at Best Buy, then activated it at an AT&T store, exchanged for the 'safe' version etc.
The update disabled the USB-C port and charging, so I was forced to take it in. With a promotion on the S7 Edge I also received a Gear S2 watch, a Galaxy TabE, (both 99 cents without requiring a new contract; just 10$/Month device fee) And was able to use 99$ out of my 200$ + credit on a Gear VR.
I was sad to finally let go of my Note7 after so much resistance, but suffice it to say I walked out pleasantly surprised at the extras I received.

I was told that myself at an AT&T store when I inquired about it in mid-December, even knowing both AT&T & Samsung's website said differently. However I know a lot of those guys are working on hearsay or don't bother to look it up, so I'm the type to just drive to the next AT&T store and try again. There never was and still isn't an end date to the recall according to the ATT website, which is exactly what they refer to. Even regardless of the N7's condition.
EDIT: Can't post URL's yet but it's ATT website article KM1122948

I looked at that article, never saw anything about a Turn in date deadline
I remember seeing a sign at my ATT store which is an authorized dealer that said to get refund you had to turn in by DEC 31. So maybe it deals with third party stores that are not corporate stores? I have heard people say DEC 31 was the deadline but never found nothing official on that. Still no matter what they should take the phone and give a refund as its an official recall and they can't make you eat the money lost. Maybe you need to go through Samsung now to get a refund? Who knows as companies loves to do the run around game

They should have provided a Loaner until the replacement was available, like they originally said they would and like they did in some markets.
The only replacement for a Note is a New Note...
Well I am hoping when the new note 8 comes out Sammy doesn't forget about us note 7 owners and how we was done wrong. But I'm sure they will. Heck I would take a fixed note 7 but they are not to be sent to the US market from what I read.

I'm picking up my S8+ on Friday, at which point I'll drop off my Note7 at the AT&T store.
My plan is to wait a few days then contact AT&T, saying "Now that you have my phone back, when do I get a refund for the money I paid in installments and sales tax?" My hope is that this gets automatically refunded once they physically get the phone, despite what the store manager said about a December 31 deadline.

Why don't you just hand them the Note 7, get refund, buy S8+, or it should be swap?
That's essentially what I'm doing. But the manager said no refund after December 31. Actually, they initially charged me $600 in remaining payments, but I got that reversed (they admitted the charge was an error).

Note 7
Can anyone who has had success exchanging their phone tell me their store location? Seems random but I am at the point with att I want to leave. I am trying to return my note 7 and the stores keep telling me no. The call center is telling me they have to but every location I go to its the same crap. Both corporate and other have the same stuff about dec31st..... doesn't make any sense to me but maybe if I can prove locations are in fact honoring the exchange I might have some luck.
At this point it seems like more a choice than corporate policy and all the hoops I've jumped through just this week I am at my breaking point.
I returned my note 7 for a full refund two weeks ago at the highway 151 store in San Antonio. They also gave me a refund for my case that I purchasedI'm picking up my s8 plus on Friday. Got a $100 off coupon for purchasing the phone at best buy mobile.
They refunded all my money on my debit card. They told me I couldn't get cash because they didn't have enough money in the store to give cash. They told me they could put it on any debit card of my choice.

S8 refund
I was also given the same story about no refund being issued after Dec 31 but I refuse to take that as an answer. I called customer service at least 6 times and was placed on hold many of times, everyone kept telling me the same story and I just kept asking to speak to a manager and kept climbing up the chain. I mentioned taking legal action and they said a manager would call me back within 72 hours and he never did. I called the 7th time and the operator issued me the refund on everything i had paid except the tax (she said i had to try to claim that at the store where the phone was purchased. Will return once I get my phone today in the mail.
Good luck and don't let them take your money!!!
I took my Note7 back to the AT&T store today, having received my S8+ yesterday. After an hour there (most of it while they were on the phone with customer service), they said they couldn't take it back at the store, but they printed out a shipping label for me to return it.
At this point, I'm debating whether to mail it to AT&T and try to get my past payments refunded, or just keep the thing--maybe use it as a music player or something.
