I read that the back of this phone does not come off. I'm a consumer cellular customer who will provide a sim card for an unlocked GSM phone. However, if the back does not come off, how would one change the sim card. I like this phone but am confused on how it would work?

The sim card is accessed on the right side of the phone under the power button. Much like the iPhone's. Push out the sim tray with the tool the phone comes with, lay the sim on the tray, then push it back in.

Why is this 16 GB Nexus 5 phone $80 more than the 32 GB Nexus 5 on the Google website and a fake half price special? What kind of games is Newegg trying to pull here

Agreed, not sure how/why they would do this... Although, I do remember it being the same with the Nexus 4.

Is the phone compatible with T-mobile cards?

I believe so. Found a few docs on T-Mobile support suggesting its possible. I'd assume this phone is capable to work with any SIM card vender. Just do a bit of research to be sure.
