Edit: here's the link in case anyone else wants to try: Nexus 5 Google Play Store

Curse you?

What is the possibility of the Orange store getting the Nexus 5?

None, i emailed them. They are waiting for Google to release for retail sale. Apparently its currently only available from the play store and certain carriers.

Hello,



We do not actually have an availability date for the Nexus 5.



We tried to find a release date but it seems Google is reserving the availability for itself.



Your best bet is to keep an eye out online to see when Google might be willing to share their sales.



Have a nice day.

So, I couldn't resist buying some goodies for my not-so-soon-to-arrive toys!

Bought a screen protector and case, for now. Need to stop abusing my credit card!

I saw the same brand and style of case for sale on bidorbuy, but that would cost me over R500 just for the case! Buying it from Amazon cost me less than R300, and that included an additional screen protector for the Nexus 7 I ordered...

Nice case, judging from the response on the xda forums it's quite popular.
Guess I am one of the very few who prefers my phone naked. Not once have I bought any kind of case for every phone I have used till today.

I would have preferred it naked, but I do want to protect it as well. Have been using a pouch for my Nexus 4, it does feel extremely fragile, but is so much better naked- I hated the bumper.

When did you place your order. And when are you expecting delivery. I will be ordering 32G one. Haven't made up my mind on whether white or black.

Black one leaves alot of fingerprints. If that miffs you then white is better.

I installed VPN One Click and selected UK

Then use roldstar's link above

Have you bought a device from the play store in the past?
If you have it opens up the US playstore for you once you log in, this is what happened to me...there was a thread on it sometime ago.

No I haven't bought a device from the play store before..almost did a couple of times with the nexus 4 but never actually made a purchase

To those that have made their purchases, did ur billing address match the shipping address?think I read something about that a while back.

I said that. Mine did match, but I'm not sure what the other guys did.

You think Im a fan?

Almost, but you skipped the two in between!

 

[Maverick Jester]

Great, so Google cancelled my order

To those that managed to order successfully- did you use a locally-issued credit card?

 

[calypso]

Yeah dude, no matter what it never accepted my carded. Needed a fake one from UsUnlocked. But that just pushes up the prices as they add a commision.

 

[Maverick Jester]

I said that. Mine did match, but I'm not sure what the other guys did.

You said that your local Visa card worked, and that the purchase went through. How did you manage that?

 

[JimboBob]

Sucks!!!

 

[Prof.]

It's a Visa credit card from Discovery, I just used my Shipito address as billing, and ordered from my personal VPN. Nothing special. Discovery did call to confirm that the order isn't fraud though, buy they do that for international orders sometimes.

I'm probably just lucky.

I don't really have anything to add. I just like the signature.
