[Q] Where to buy Nexus 4 in USA (NY or Orlando), street stores - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi!
I'll be in USA between May 29 and Jun 8. Five days in NY (until Jun 3) and 5 days in Orlando (from Jun 4 on).
Is there any street store where I can buy a Nexus 4 without any contracts?
It seems that T-Mobile is selling the phone in this conditions on some selected stores.
Best buy is selling only with contract, as long as I could check.
Anybody who has useful info can help me, please?
Thanks.
Regards.

Only place I can think of in NYC would be Mobilecityonline. But they might charge an arm and a leg for it.

Hummm, thank you!
They are selling the unlocked version for about US$470. It's not so different from T-Mobile, which are selling the unlocked one for about US$ 457
UPDATE: I just realized that Best Buy sells the unlocked one (or Unactivated as they say) for about US$600!!! This is an arm and a leg!
Thanks!

I am not sure if its possible for you, but the cheapest and easiest way out is to preorder and get it delivered where ever u are going stay. All other options would definitely be expensive.

Yes, this is the best option. I know.
The problem is to be sure that the product will be delivered exact in the "window time" when I'll be there. I know the hotels where I'll be, but I'm not sure about the shipping times.
Do you have any experience about this? How many days Google Play Store takes to ship to NYC or Orlando from the purchase date?

I'm guessing you will stay around the Disney/international drive area? I'd offer to have it shipped to my place and just drop off wherever you are at but my schedule is pretty hectic during the summer.
I'll pm you a site where you can probably strike a deal with somebody more trustworthy in the Orlando area... That's IF you feel comfortable...

I ordered two phones in April in NYC and both were shipped and received within a week of order.

Michigan Walmart stores are supposed to start carrying them may 1 but haven't looked yet to see if the actually there

I have the same problem now. Where I can buy tablet Nexus 7 HDR at Orlando (Florida) - street store without any contracts?
I will have only a few days in September. And will stay at University place or hotel.
Please help, sorry for my English.
Thank you.

I'm pretty sure you can only buy a Nexus 4 from a T-Mobile store, but they price it much higher than what Google sells it for (Around $500)

You can go to Staples, Office Max or Best Buy to buy the New Nexus 7 tablet. It's the wifi model so no contracts.

Nexus 4 - Singapore Thread

Anyone from Singapore spotted this baby in any of the shops yet?
I know it's yet to be officially released but I remember seeing the galaxy nexus in sim lim and some random neighborhood hp shop at least 3 weeks before actual release date... plan to go scout for this this weekend to try and check out the pricing for buying off the shelves here...
I'm abit skeptical of ordering electronic eqpt online....

I think we'll have to wait till December or next year january. I want the nexus 4 badly but do you know what's the suggested price of it?
I want this piece also. But here in Malaysia i know price will be marked up more than 50%. Which is kinda sh*tty. Sigh. So i plan to get it in the US via playstore and somehow delivered to my mom who is currently visiting there.
Sent from my Nexus S using xda app-developers app
Scouted still no sight of it.... will continue and update rrp for it I don't know.... if you're in Malaysia and near SG maybe we could work something out if and when it hits stores here...
Jellybeaning.....
Yeah. Oh just out of curiosity how much did it cost for gnex in Singapore when it was first launched?
Sent from my Nexus S using xda app-developers app
Don't remember actually but now it's going for about 490 if I got it right...

Yeah. You're the lucky one. Sigh. I don't think so i could get from playstore as planned. Since it has to be bought using a US credit card. Oh well. Just have to check the price here when its launched here. Worse comes to worst at least I'll get at least a one year warranty for that kinda markup price
Sent from my Nexus S using xda app-developers app
That thing is obviously going to sell for more than the GNex. Might end up going for the Xperia P if the price doesn't drop.

Help us order and ship to us! Haha

I'm sure it will be very expensive. If Europe is anything to go by , LG will sell it with a RRP of SG$900+ (€599 in EU, even though it's only €299 in the Play store).
I think I'll be getting mine from Aussie Play store when I'm there in December. Might order 2 and sell one if I can profit from it.

You'll find some uk ones on eBay for a small mark up once they launch I'm sure. Postage might be a bit steep though!
Hey guys visit this website http://www.GadgetsINSG.com/#!google-nexus-4/cmht some guy asked me if I want to reserve or not. I can't believe the nexus 4 at 8gb is going to costs S$549 while the galaxy nexus costs S$700+
Edit.... saw that it's pay upon collection!

Will do. Whether I buy an extra one depends on the SG price and if I leave in time to claim the Aussie GST back
Also a friend might want to order one, and I believe you can only order 2 per account.

This^
I have a 12 hour flight on the 14th (need this to kill some time). It would be awesome if I could pick this up at a retail store on the 13th....
It will be sold at Walmart. But I doubt it will be available for the day of.
The Nexus 7 was being sold off store shelves a week before I got mine from Google that was pre-ordered on day one of the release.I will be buying from a store this time if for no other reason than quick replacement or return if things don't work out.I will have to check with the local Office Depot or Wally world and see if they have dates on there supple.
At Walmart the same day, but only the 32 GB version.
Hopefully Gamestop get both versions :/

[DS] Nexus 4 16GB

Not the greatest deal (or as great as DS claims it to be), but they have the Nexus 4 16GB for $499. Shipping is $5 and no tax (not for Cali at least).

That's not a bad deal but it's hard to buy it at 500 when you know you can get it in the US for 350

Yes I saw that I was so tempted but that almost $100 over the original price
I just got one. On GPlay its 350+15 shipping+tax. Honestly, after the N7 issues I would rather not purchase through Google. I just hope this thing gets here before It's availible on GPlay.

6 days isn't that bad for daily steals. I bought my galaxy nexus from them earlier this year and it took easily two to three weeks for it to ship and don't expect to hear anything from them during that time. They aren't known for prompt customer service but if you can deal with that you can get some good deals.

I previously bought a gnex from them & it took about a week for them to ship it & about 3-5 days to get it.
I purchased a nexus 4 from them (I had an existing credit from them, so the price difference from the play store wasn't bad). I am pleased/surprised to say that I got an email saying they have shipped mine. They ship from nj & I am in ny, so I should be getting it tomorrow. Pretty psyched.

Nexus 4 in Berlin, without contract.

Hey guys
Actually looking for some Germans, or someone familiar with the electronic equipment stores in Germany/Berlin. I'm going to Berlin right before Christmas, and I was wondering if it was possible to get the Nexus 4 in one of the electronic equipment stores without a contract?
It doesn't have to be as cheap as from the Play Store, since it'll most likely still be much cheaper than in Denmark.
If yes, which ones and where do I find them?
Sorry if this is not allowed post. Looked around, and it didn't look like it.
Kind regards.

You can try to order one at:
http://data.mediamarkt.de/angebot/vorbestellung/nexus-lg-nexus-4?searchkategorie=1721
Their planned release is on 15.12.
Just choose one of the stores in Berlin and hope they have enough.
Wish you best of luck!
The N4 will also be available at Saturn Stores at 15.12.2012.
The price for 16 GB will be approximately 400 EUR.
Due to the high demand I doubt you will be able to buy one right before Christmas.
Thanks a lot for your answers! Do you know if they'll be selling the 8gb version as well?

Everyone is going to be significantly more expensive than the Play Store, Google is subsidizing the phone and retailers aren't.
