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.
I will be traveling to the US in about a week, I want to buy a Focus and was wondering if I will be able to do it without having a contract with At&t..
I'm willing to pay the "No Commitment Pricing" of $500+taxes but I don't know what kind of requirements they impose to the actual purchase of a device in the store.
Anybody has info on this?

Your best bet is Best Buy if/when they get the phone, I think.
When I bought my Focus today in an official AT&T store, they mentioned I would have to purchase some sort of contract to "get the phone today". I didn't mind since I was planning to, but it felt to me like it was a necessity...
Anyone else have problems buying off contract? I used my upgrade on an iPhone 4 and wanted to buy this for the full retail price today.... Hopefully I don't run into any problems =/
I bought mine no contract with no hassle. I'm already an ATT customer and just asked to buy the phone without a contract.

phew... load off my mind. now i can sell off my samsung captivate without worrying the whole day if i did it for nothing. THANKS
I got the phone when the stores open in Columbus, OH on the 8th. There were 4 of us in line there. The other 3 were Microsoft employees. Two bought the focus, one the HTC. All bought them with NO contract. Infact I think one guy paid for all three of them lol. I'm pretty sure since you can order them online with no contract for $499.99 at ATT.com that a contract is not needed.
I walked in and out of a official att store with a focus.
Buy it @ at&t stores should be no problem at all. The biggest problem is to get it unlocked.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
You can't buy the Samsung Focus off contract currently. AT&T will sell it outright ($499 + tax), but they will only sell it to you if your an existing on-contract customer or you sign up (with a minimum term). I've already been to AT&T and tried, apparantly my money is not good enough there. I'm not sure how people in the US put up with this rubbish. Either way, the only way to get a Samsung Focus in the US at the moment is to sign up at AT&T.
I've also been to Best Buy, but they only stock the HTC Surround, which I won't buy due to it not having a microSD slot.
I'm currently an AT&T customer who just renewed my contract for another 2 years for the iphone 4. So they'll be able to sell me one full retail price, right?

What about Amazon Wireless, I think you can buy there without a plan...
EDIT: I just confirm this, you can buy without a plan!
Most online site still need to verify your status with AT&T (at least that's the policy with Letstalk.com). Stores don't like to sell phones without contract because there is no money to be made (monthly service charges).

You can go elsewhere on the net as well. The problem is AT&T has the best price right now. Everyone else is a good 50-80 more expensive. I'd rather save the extra cash and grab a branded one...

Dude I meant the branded ones (AT&T), for example the HTC SURROUND AT&T BRANDED price is $460 or something like that. And I was able to go through all the checkout process, just that I didn't want to pay, hehehe
OK cool.. I hope there are Focus left when I´m there!
Amazon.com doesn't have Focus in stock. In fact, it only briefly showed up in like 10 seconds before it was sold out @ 11/8.
You go to Dell online and buy any phone on any carrier in the US and some unlocked Nokia's without a contract and in some cases the prices are pretty good...I have a Streak AND a Nokia N8 on the way lol. The Nokia (ugly pea green one) was actually only $450 compared to $550 most other places. If I don't like either one I may be joining the Focus owners club in a few weeks.
craiglist.. thats how i got mine// 400 bucks.. a week old
I've been looking for an AT&T Nexus One for weeks now. Is there anywhere to buy them brand new in box other than ebay?
craigslist
Ebay and Craigslist... good luck
Google discontinued the at&t model nexus one, the only place to officially purchase it was through the Google web store which was taken down at the same time. Because of this the at&t nexus one is going to be extremely difficult to get, let alone brand new as there are no official channels for it.
So there are no places that any of you know of that will have any left in stock?

I think it was mentioned above, but no other place stocked them other than Google itself. Since you can't get it from them anymore the only place you might get one that is unopened is if someone bought a bunch of them and is selling them on Ebay or Craigslist. However, you can get a used one in pretty much pristine condition for around 325 dollars now days.
Do what I did, But a Tmobile Nexus, Call HTC, say youre switching to ATT and would like to switch phones. You send them the TMO nexus, and they will send you an ATT nexus. And my tmo nexus was all mesed up to, lots of nicks and blemishes, and i got a PRISTINE condition ATT nexus.
I'll sell you mine. Used for about 1 week now, no scratches. Interested? Give me an offer!

Wow, I had no idea HTC did that, wish I had known that a month ago. Oh well I managed to pick up an ATT Nexus One today for $220. It's pretty beat up but I plan on fixing it myself. Everyone ATT Nexus one I've seen on eBay goes for $400 plus...
I'm selling two, both in near perfect condition, AMOLED screens, unless HTC will swap them out for T-Mobile versions also. I just switched back to pink jesus yesterday myself.
Theres no way i would sell my n1, not only is it still top notch an perfect for root users but it becoming a collectors item
I picked up my ATT Nexus One a week ago on Craigslist. I got it from a guy who worked as an intern at Google, but didn't want to keep the phone. He just got around to selling it last week. I paid $410.
You can visit this page http://developer.android.com/index.html, register as a dev developer and pay the fee, then you can buy a new one from google directly...I think it cost about US$530

Phone itself is $530 and there's a $30 registration fee if you're not already a developer. That, and you're almost sure to get a Nexus with an SLCD screen instead of AMOLED, unfortunately.

You mean one for T-Mobile, and a different one for AT&T?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
I have one phone that is unlocked for both carriers.
Do you think T-Mobile will be selling the Nexus 4 off-contract for the same $349 price that Google is selling it for? If so, it would be easier to walk into my local T-Mobile store and buy it, instead of waiting for Google to ship it.
Probably not, I would assume that every carrier would have somewhat of a mark-up on the phone. I would still bet on getting the better deal off the play store.
But isn't the T-Mobile version going to support faster speed for T-Mobile?

As far as I know, there are no carrier specific versions of the Nexus 4, so what you get from T-Mobile is what you get from the play store. There is some confusion cause T-Mobile have said it will do 42Mbps and the play store just says 21, but the consensus seems to be that the play store is wrong.

According to a reliable source, TMoNews, on Twitter, T-Mobile plans to sell the phone at full retail price for $499.99 or $199 with a two year contract. I think T-Mobile must be out of its mind!

Long story bro, I had galaxy s3 international version, and I am using t mobile pre-paid atm so I was getting 2G only. So I was so freaked out thn put ads on CL, a guy call me that he wanna buy it for $500. I was like lets meet up, after few hours latter he came with a car and I was asking him to come to a public place but he was like he couldn't find that location etc. So I found him on a empty street, so he ask me to show him the phone. I gave the phone and box to his hand he was looking at it thn another car came behind his car. he was like let me give him pass. I was standing at the street close to his car window. he said let me give the other guy pass thn before i say anything he was gone :crying: everything was planed out for sure. $730 gone learn my lesson though.
Thn I went to t-mobile and buy out another S3 but it had some screen problem so I exchanged it and got another. Which has screen gap problem in left side. So yesterday I ordered a unlimited pre-paid plan with a S2 free phone, which is going to in my hands tomorrow. once i received it i will go to t-mobile and ask for a refund for S3, I have to pay restocking fee $50 and in the mean time i am gonna use S2 and wait for N4
No reason for Branded N4...
Why would you even WANT to buy the Nexus 4 at T-Mo? Way I see it is, if you grab the plain one off the play store... It's just that, Plain. No T-Mo apps, no chance of having a branded phone that'd have a lower resale value.
Like everyone, I'm planning on buying from the play store but would one that you buy from t-mo be unlocked, also or would it be locked to t-mobile?

T-Mobile is not releasing a customized version of the Nexus 4. They are selling the Nexus 4 identical to the Google Play version. That means no carrier modifications whatsoever.

I cut back on craigslist transactions since I bought an iphone 4s unlocked. I was trading and selling lot of android phones always wanted the newest one. Traded my gs3 for an iphone 4s plus $200
The nexus 4 has me tempted to purchase it brand new and just have the iphone as a back up or possibly sell it. Would like to get 3g/4g services again instead of the 2g but I do really like the IOS

That's a sad story but at least you don't have to worry about that when you buy your Nexus 4 on the play store!
Would this work on att lte?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
This has been posted on another thread, but the Play Store specs were incorrect yesterday and have since been updated to show HSPA+ 42. This should mean that if your carrier supports those speeds the phone will take advantage of them. So yes for T-Mobile, no for AT&T (HSPA+ 21 only).
I can't post links as a new user, but you can go to the Play Store and check it out.

Tmo will be selling the same version as the play store (there only one version of the phone) so I plan on buying mine outright at the Tmo store to save on shipping. I live or work within walking distance of four Tmo stores, so its easier to go into the store then have it delivered. But this all hinges on Tmo charging $349 for the 16GB version.

It's the same exact phone. There's no differentiation between this one and the one that you'd get at a T-Mobile store.
Mine should be arriving tomorrow. If it doesn't come with a sim card I'll have to run out and pick one up before I can activate. Glad to be going back to Android after a two year tryst with Windows Phone. It'll also be my first time going prepaid.
Woah, thanks for the heads up!
I've been popping in to every store in the area at lunch (3 or 4 stores) almost everyday, all still out of stock. The one time a store did have stock, they wouldn't sell it to me as a prepaid phone unless I paid an extra $80 for a new prepaid number :-/ I gave up after this
This deal is way cheaper! Hopefully I'll have it this Friday now
I received mine today, and it is an awesome device. I haven't activated it yet since I'm trying to get my current phone unlocked before I port the number, but I've been playing around with it on WiFi and barely scratching the surface of its functionality. I'm trying to figure out all of the options that are available to me, and what I really need on this device. Nice to see WiFi calling is enabled through t-mobile, but I'll probably just use hangouts for that feature. I also picked up a Samsung 64GB micro SD card on sale at Best Buy for $30. Great deal.
if anybody bought this phone with their discover card through t-mobile, make a screen shot of this bestbuy ad showing the $699 price, then call discover and ask them to send you the form for price protection, you can easily get paid the difference of $50 with their 90 price protection plan. i can provide the screen shot if anybody needs it. i'm gonna hold until black friday to see if there's gonna be a better deal before calling discover.
