So I wanna buy the Nexus 5 as Xmas gift to my mom. Why is the price in TMobile $449 for a 16 GB model if its only $349 in Google Store?
Was thinking of buying it from TMO as I'm going to add her to my family plan so its less hassle until I saw the price is $100 more.

Any reason why its different if I'm going to buy the phone cash anyway?

[EpicenterRex]

I'll check it out

Have you tried kingdom rush?

yeah that's pretty a good game as well jungle forces the same exact combat system of clash of clans it's just you're in the jungle actually I started playing clash of clans this morning and its not that bad its only been out on Android for a couple of months so its not like the leaders have an outrageous amount I like those little games were you can spend like 15 minutes a day playing and that's all you need

different carriers can essentially charge whatever they want I actually upgraded and renew through sprint because they were offering the note 3 for $249 where T Mobile AT&T and Verizon were asking either 300 or 350 for the same exact upgrade

Yes that is normal for non-nexus phone because we cant get it anywhere but from these networks. But Nexus 5 is available for $349 from google store and networks charge a lot more over it.
I think I finally realized why. Their intention is really not to sell the phone cash because they always want to tie us with the contract.

I ordered it from the store already, just 2-3 weeks before it ships

[adzzz97]

Nexus 5 should be shipping within a few days, upgrading from the original Samsung Galaxy S so I'm pretty excited for dat der performance.

[629]

Any BF deals going on for the Note 3? Want to pick it up for a Christmas gift.

[xtraviolent]

sweet i'm gonna pick it up this week

Are you with Verizon? If so, stay away from G2. Stay the fuark away from Verizon G2 - you've been warned.
If you're not with Verizon, go ahead and enjoy one of the best phone out at the moment.

Verizon always seems to ruin phones, my friend has a GS4 on Verizon and has crazy battery drain issues. Nothing I do to it will help, mine (Sprint) lasts nearly all day on a charge.

most likely it's from all the bloatware on the phone that's running in the background

I would root it and remove those apps, or install a custom rom

[Krispy1]

On the G2 verizon f****d the buttons on the back. LG came up with a specific design with a groove and verizon changed it to some smaller sized buttons with a worse groove

get her the Nexus 5, or Moto x (will be $350/$400 for 16/32gb on Cyber Monday from the moto maker store) I would say Nexus 5 unless it needs to be on Verizon than the Moto X
