I've been asking around, neither Best Buy or Gamestop have any orders of the N10 coming, I suspect that November 13th will only be google play availability.
Wonder when Walmart is getting it?
I'd imagine (and hope) that it will be the same as the Nexus 7 launch and recent 32gb upgrade. Shops and the Play store will have it for sale on the same day.
I'm hoping to walk into PCWorld/Curry's in the UK next Tuesday morning and get one.

I'm hoping shops will have them at the same time, but I suspect that google will keep the sales to them only for a couple of weeks, and will allow shops to sell towards the end of november in a way that may help, cos it will give time to find out and issues before I make my mind up.
no
no but if its put on sale at 12am somewhere and i can just walk in and casually buy it then i will.
I'm going to sit in my comfortable chair, drinking soda and eating chips. With my fat and hairy hand I'm gonna make a couple of mouse clicks and have this device delivered to my house.

Without the Fat, Hairy hand, I will do the same thing.
I would never stand in line at a Wal-Mart. Never.
I have a brother-in-law who works for Walmart in a very rural area. Not many job choices there. The employee discount is very small IMO. I will be driving there on Thanksgiving and hoping it's in stock due to being in a rural area. Shouldn't be any lines on Thanksgiving. Tempted to get it sooner though, but 10% discount is $50.
Currys and PC World in the UK will be selling it in store. Will definitely get it from there
I, myself self will be getting one, but I hope that Walmart or best buy carries it. I don't like waiting for stuff to arrive through the mail, when I can go buy it at my nearest wallyworld or best buy.

Only apple eating troll zombies stand in line for tech. Android fans are smarter than that. I'm going to wait and see what the real world reviews are on this upcoming device. If the reviews are good I'll go to wallyworld and slap the cash on the counter and walk out 5min later. Wait in line lol that's funny.

Hey guys, this is a question for the UK Xoom owners. Is there anywhere in the UK I can actually walk in to a shop and walk away with a Xoom the same day?
I have looked at Dixons, Currys, Comet, which all seem to be the same company nowadays, and all of them only offer 3-5 day online delivery. I would like to be able to walk into a shop have a look at the ~£500 piece of hardware I am about to buy and see if it is actually worth my money before I part with it.
Do this group have exclusive sales rights in the UK at the moment? Because I can't find it at any other highstreet store, I hate waiting for delivery, the aforementioned don't even offer next day delivery! I have to wait until Wednesday before I can get one delivered...
I think you can go into carphone warehouse and have a look @ the 3g one.

Aye, I noticed that last night. I also noticed the price, £579.99 SIM free! I don't know who they think they are kidding, plus it's a silver one, I don't know if I fancy silver but I am just being picky.
I'm going to go to Dixons/Currys in about half hour or so, see if they have a display model I can have a play with. I might just get one there and wait for the five days delivery.
I suppose the next most desirable tablet is the iPad 2 now, at least Apple had the brains to let you actually walk into a shop pay for one and walk out. I'm such a child, I hate waiting for things.

Thanks my man but despite PC Worlds website saying they don't stock them in store, I went into Bedford store and picked one up yesterday. Very kind of you all the same.
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.

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.

Hey all,
If you notice on my signature I have an iPhone. Nothing to say here. I don't want to get into which OS is best, and the reason for keeping an iPhone for so long.... I have my reasons; anyways, time to move along and the Note II is really teasing me. I have some extra cash before all the huge expenses in December and definitely I want this thing.
Now, I found that a seller at Amazon already has the 16GB version of the Note II. I live in Belize, and I cannot pre-order from US carriers, but I can get anything from the US without any sweat (as long as I have the cash to pay the shipper from US and the import taxes here at home...). So, should I jump the gun on this one or wait till after the official release date in the US?

See if you can purchase from Newegg. They are on sale for $699.99.
Hey thanks guy. That's a fair deal. Thing is, I kinda prefer white as smudges are less visible, and secondly Amazon knows my address is a freight forwarder so I get no Sales Tax charge, whereas I'd believe newegg would.
So I guess you guys see no real benefit in waiting for amazon or Samsung selling these directly... I'll buy it from Amazon then, unless you have a promo code for newegg

the guy has nearly 3000 ratings on ebay , 99.7% positive as well as was very responsive about the questions i asked him about. also mailed me to ask if i wanted overnight for a little more than what i had paid, ended up taking up his offer for $14 all in all $729 paid. id say still cheaper than many of the other sellers.
Are you freaking kidding me. After reading that the guy offered to ship your phone faster for couple more bucks, I went and wanted to email him that proposal. Guess what. This thing shipped 15 minutes after I placed the order....
Well, he deserves kudos indeed. So FedEx says it will be delivered the 10, I hope it makes it the 9th...

I would think there to be a tremendous difference in demand between a lame ass 7" tab and a quad core 2gb mobile phone with the latest hardware priced insanely cheaper domestically than elsewhere. Insanely cheaper, period.
Never know but I don't expect the 16gb Nexus 4 to last 5min.

Why?
Only people who follow these tech sites know about the Nexus 4 here in the UK, no tv, radio, newspaper articles have been shown.
We also get stock from a totally different country to US orders.
For the mast majority, only people who go into an O2 store will know about it, and their stock differs from the playstore stock.

What does spam f5 mean and what kind of info should you have ready?
I have already bought stuff from the Google Play store so they have all my details. I figured I would just sign in well before midnight and when the Nexus 4 became available I would select it to buy.
Has anyone bought like a device on the first day available and would like to share what happened?

Assuming you're serious, spamming F5 means quickly and repeatedly pressing the F5 key on the keyboard, to constantly refresh the webpage in hopes of it letting you order the phone
I have never heard of that before even though I have been around computers since the 70's. Thanks for the clarification.
I thinking the UK is going to be the easier place to get a midnight order done. There have been no ads or whatever as someone in this thread has already said. Also, here in the UK the majority of people buy off contract phones so this one isn't going to be that different. But on the flipside in the US there is a massive LTE network that you wont be able to access and that will cut the amount down quite a bit. I'm guessing they will sell a lot but I don't see it selling out...... unless they start running ads after they open the site to orders.

I think I will be purchasing another. I want to return mine to T-Mobile since I bought it $499 off contract, plus tax. Everything amounted to about $543 - so I'll be saving a good chunk of money purchasing the Nexus 4 through Google.
I'm debating it - 8GB is bullspit. I would like to take my chances and getting a 16GB. It's honestly not thaaaat huge a deal though.
Getting one and putting it on the $30 T-mobile plan. Gonna mess around with it and probably resell it or trade it for a yellow lumia 920

In order to get the N4 you might have to move to Firefox from Chrome for the next half hour. I know on Firefox there is an add-on/widget that reloads any page you want every 5 seconds. Just keep the Firefox window with the Nexus 4 Play Store page open and see-able so once the device is available, you'll be one of the first to see it and be able to order the N4. I might think of doing that lol.

For me it was 5 business days. I got shipping notification on Monday evening, UPS got it on Tuesday morning, and I got it 7 hours later that same morning.
I was thinking about ordering, to resell my current 8gb and snag a 16gb, but 1) 8gb is enough for me and 2) I think the resell market is going to tank once this second batch comes out and supply meets demand.
