I'm definitely getting one... haven't decided on contract or not. I've been waiting months for this phone. Finally retiring my touch pro.
So there is the T8525 and T9193. I wonder if Tmobile's version model number will be different?
T-Mobile works fine in nyc. There's locations all over the place. I'll probably drop by in the morning. I hope it'll still be in stock when I get there, else I'll have to go to another location like 10 blocks away..

yup, makes no sense, it's been3-4 months it's been out alright, but it still has OFFICIALLY 576mb of ram, and double the amount of rom. It still goes for 630EUR here in italy new in shops (even if noone buys it at that price anymore tho), so it seems unreasonable to have it so cheap (about 400EUR?) off the shelves... maybe was a typo?
im gettin one 2 on someone esle contract

I've been hoping for the RAMAROM threads to come back to life again so it would entertain me for 3 more weeks...
Not me, already ordered euro version, im on at&t anyways
yes im getting it with contract and EIP haha I don't care if it gets Windows Phone 7 im not really feeling the UI so far, but im pretty sure the Devs here will port it to the HD2 CANT WAIT! I got Hd2 in my twitter feed to see all the updates, people who work for TMO are already playing with it for training =\
The 24th can't come soon enough
Definitely getting it on the 24th on the $60 Even More Plus 500 minutes unlimited text and data plan. And since I live in Delaware, that means no taxes--->WIN!
I've been with t-mob USA for 6 years, and my dad 13? ish.. when it was that other company.
and finally after all this time there is a reason to actually have t-mobile, haha.
I'm getting it, without the contract.
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.

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.

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.

Craigslist is too damn sketchy anymore
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.
Friend is in the US currently, more people regularly come & go as well. Is it possible to buy it soon from AT&T or TMobile, will it be unlocked & how much would it cost, does any kind soul have all the answers?
Thanks much guys.. :good:
And, of course as it's almost 6am here, I posted in the wrong fckng forum.. Can a mod please move it to Q&A? Thanks. & Sorry..
Not from AT&T. T-Mobile charges $499 without a contract.
not sure about att yet but t-mobile usa is selling its for like another 150 $ + off contract ...i think you better off waiting on play store to have them in stock again save you money.. not sure if t-mo had them instock on stores or online.. just trying to make money t-mob:silly:

Well, we have the Euro conversion if I buy it from there; it'd only be 43 Euro more (not including any taxes, not sure how that works over there) compared to getting it here so it's not too bad.
The question of course, is, what happens with warranty. Probably royally screwed.
And whether it'd be sim locked; probably not as it is off contract..
P. S. You see, Google are fairly clever. They just turn the $ to €. It costs 350 Euro here, that is +/- 450 $.. :banghead::thumbdown:
There isn't a separate "T-Mobile version"; it's identical, so it will be unlocked. As for warranty, I dunno who would be responsible for that. Maybe LG? The best thing to do is to call T-Mobile and ask which stores will have it and what they'll do about warranty if the phone is used abroad.

That doesn't include tax. Chicago has the highest sales tax in the U.S. so you can expect it to be about $550.

Oct 3rd for Canada? I don't think so. Most of the rest of the world still has it scheduled for mid-October. I think we'll be lucky to get it then.
Futureshop this morning and the guy I spoke to said that they won't even have display models on show until the day before launch - he said they even did that for the iphone 6's.
Hey guys, I work at a telecom company in Canada and we have a launch date for the Gear Live on october 2nd. We usually launch the watch with a smartphone so I am assuming that the release date will be on the 2nd or 3rd.

This would be awesome, but still seems like speculation. Crossing my fingers though ?
Just got an email from Expansys.ca about my pre-order... $849 for the Note 4... I think that's too high and I may hold off on it. When US carriers are selling it outright for $649, I just can't bring myself to paying $850.
Has anyone else found better prices?
Well... things escalated quickly.
They said the Note 4 would be shipping no later than this Thursday (Oct 2nd), but when they confirmed my order, it ended up being CDN$933 + shipping and tax, which put it close to $1100. I don't feel that any phone is worth that much. I cancelled my order and will be holding off for now.
Expansys is now showing the pre-order price of 999.99! Way too much!

That's pretty outrageous. I'm looking back at my Note 2's invoice and I paid $800 form them with express shipping and taxes included - two years ago. There's no justification for such a high price on the Note 4. But I have a feeling that they've artificially inflated that price - once it's in retail stores, they'll drop it quickly. I was just hoping to get it sooner, but not for a few hundred dollars more!
Can we just purchase in the USA and unlock here?

I strongly suggest you make sure the model supports the LTE frequencies here in Canada.
The canadian model is sm-n910w8 and that's the one to get.
The Expansys one is probably the sm-n910s which is the international model and therefore LTE will be limited and not even work in the USA (AT&T).
Just get one from the big 3 (telus, rogers and bell).
You must get it with a plan but that doesn't matter, just go through with it and cancel 5 seconds after. You will NOT pay cancelling fees. Then you unlock the phone with whatever service you want.

in fact the T-Mobile variant is even better since it would work on wind and videotron......

I'm with Virgin, but they are basically Bell, so whatever Bell sells will work with Virgin - I really just want to avoid signing up for a plan, cancelling, and all that nonsense. I just want to buy and phone and set it up.
If Bell won't sell the phone, what are my options? Go with an unlocked non-Canadian LTE model?

I'm also with Virgin and I have a great plan which I don't want to loose.
None of the providers will sell you the Note 4 but like I said, use them, get a plan and cancel it.
Bonus: it kinda pisses them off, I like to tell them to their faces that's what I'm doing.

So you go on a month-to-month plan (to get the phone outright), then cancel the plan right on the spot and keep the phone? LOL Do you lose anything? Like an activation fee or your first month payment for the plan?

Well, there are no activation fees, but yes you will have to pay the first month. It's a small price to pay for getting the phone asap. Also, Telus will sell it for around 900$ and if you think about it, expansys is asking 1000$ + shipping, so it's not really that bad of a hit.
I blame Samsung, I want to give them my money but they don't make it easy.
However, their stunned stupid face, when I unlocked my Note 2 right in front of them while someone was explaining the "plan" is priceless (remember the menu unlock thing...).
