i live in toronto, negri is cheaper, but i wanted to buy it from bell / virgin because of warranty reasons, but i will have to pay more
649.99 plus tax would come up to $734.48 and negri has it for like 680 i think?
what would you guys do?

It looks like Negri's price is $730.50.
And even if it was $680:
$680 USD = $692.68 CAD. Add 5% GST and you get $727.31. I'm not sure if there would also be duty on top of that. There might also be brokerage fees, depending on the shipping method used. So at best you save about $7 and then have to deal with shipping it back to Negri if you have a warranty issue, instead of just taking it down to you local Bell/Virgin store.
Maybe I'm missing something, but the choice seems obvious to me.
Bell wouldn't sell me the Nexus with activating a line for at least a month.
So 35$ for activation fee and 30$ for the cheapest "plan".
Same for Virgin but no activation fee.
I had to buy it from a random dude on Kijiji who had some BNIB Nexus for 730$ locally in Montreal.
The name Negri kind of sounds racist so i wouldn't buy from them...

True enough. I guess I was assuming he'd stick with Bell. Someone did say they got a Best Buy store to sell one without any activation though... probably a mistake on Best Buy's part, but lucky for him

You'll have to pay HST + duty to bring it into Canada, and I'd be surprised if they'll ship for free to Canada.
When I bought my N1 from Google, the courier showed up with a bill for $89 to cover fees, on top of the price I had already paid. I had to give him my credit card # before he'd release the package to me.
You can buy the GN at full retail without a contract, just depends on the store. I bought mine at a future shop with no problems (oddly, Best Buy won't sell without a contract). I think you'll find warranty issues less painful if you buy locally, and if it's that much of a concern for you, then you can buy the extended service from FS and they'll basically swap your phone for a new one if anything goes wrong.

Honestly, I think it is hit and miss. I bought mine on launch day, the rep told me that a few people had already been in to buy it outright, and asked me which network I'd be activating it on. Told her Rogers, and she said that's what everyone else had said.
But I've also heard that some people have been told at Future Shop that they can't buy without a contract, so it's not consistent. I was turned down at Best Buy, but I've seen others post on the interweb that they bought from Best Buy. There was also another post here saying that the Source was selling outright, which is surprising since they're owned by Bell, but at the same time, as someone who has dealt with Bell corporate in the past, it wouldn't be surprising that the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing.
You may have to store shop a bit, but I'm sure you'll find one that will sell it outright if you stick to the major retail outlets. I'd suggest staying away from the dealers though, they have more of a vested interest in signing contracts and receive fewer units for inventory so will be loathe to sell them outright this soon after launch.
Hope this helps...
Where's the best place to purchase it? with the cheapest price?
I know negri-electronics has a coupon which brings it down to $685, is that my best bet?
At Negri, I think the "VZsucks" coupon might be over... if so the $35 off coupon is probably still up. That brings it to like $700 ish.
Clove and Handtec are around the same price. Like $685 - $695. They have foreign transaction fees if you buy with most credit cards though.

Nope I edited my post from their twitter. That's what made me purchase the GN, I was like ahhh this coupon is going to expire and it never did but it could expire at any time :\ its definitely worth it.
They'll go through with the coupon. Go for it

Good luck! I became obsessed with this phone quick, it's difficult to say no.
I just bit the bullet and paid the extra cash to get it full retail from Verizon. It only ended up about $721 after taxes. Not the cheapest phone purchase I've ever made, but with flimsy Samsung plastic exteriors I figured I'd rather have a local warranty ready to go.

We GSM users don't have the option. We can't go to Verizon and buy a off-contracted one and pop a AT&T/T-Mobile SIM card in there. It won't work. The CDMA/LTE version is for Verizon only.
It may be plastic but it holds pretty well in the hand and its build quality is pretty good.
Brain fart! I should have realized he was referring to a GSM version.
The phone does feel solid, but I'm hard on my phones and this is one I'll probably hang on to for a good year or so. I also don't believe in ruining a good looking phone with cases or screen protectors, and Verizon's insurance is good about getting a refurb to you the same day if you drop it. I haven't had to use it yet, but, well...
Me.
$675 shipped (US only). Steinheil flex installed + an extra unused film. Case included.
All original accessories and headphones never were used. Phone is in absolute mint condition and you won't be able to tell it from a brand new one. No scratches or dead pixels.
Ordered from Expansys-USA for $750, willing to eat the $75 loss.
Anyone PM me if interested.

i went to futureshop like 3 weeks ago and asked if i could buy the galaxy nexus outright, they said yeah.
So i go today to buy it and they said they can't give it without me signing a contract.
i argue with them for a while saying i was told a few weeks ago i could, they said yeah it changed now.
so they're like you have to prepay 1 month, i'm like okay **** it ill just do it because i really need the phone.
After a while he says i still can't buy it!
WTF, im paying outright for it, PLUS paying the first month, he says sorry you still can't buy it because you have no credit history.
i just walked out, what else could i do.
i really wanted this phone and they wouldnt sell it to me

Best bet would be Negri as its the cheapest (find a coupon online if they're valid still). From what I'm told on forums, Negri will handle warranties (look it up on XDA as multiple users have mentioned this).
https://negrielectronics.com/policies
DEFECTIVE ITEMS: A defective item may be returned for repair within 25 days of date of purchase. If an repair is not possible we will offer a refurbished replacement. If this is not available you will be offered a store credit toward a future purchase. If you would prefer a refund (instead of a store credit), you may request a full refund, minus shipping charges. The exchange process typically takes 8-10 days to complete. Every (Non Carrier Branded) device comes with a 1 year warranty from the manufacturer. After 25 days our exchange/return policy has expired, you should contact the manufacturer for repair or for warranty replacement or exchange, if your device qualifies for this. Please contact the manufacturer to determine if the device you hold is covered under their warranty. If you would like to send your device to us to send to the manufacturer you are free to do so. Please request an RMA. This will delay the warranty process by 1-2 weeks and you will be charged shipping to and from the manufacturer. You will need the original invoice from us in order to have your item repaired or exchanged by the manufacturer. Warranty varies by manufacturer, but typically warranties are valid for 1 year from purchase. PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU MUST request an RMA in order to return any device.
(NEW) REPAIRS: If after 25 days your device is in need of repair you can fill out the RMA Form and request a "repair". Negri Electronics will send your device off to our 5 star repair center and have it assessed for charges prior to the repair. We will contact you with the charges and if agreed upon charge you and complete the repair. Normally there is no fee for the assessment. You only are requiredto pay our actual cost for the repair, plus shipping. Once the phone is repaired we will have this shipped back to you.

Most Verizon independent retailer do not sell phones out right. Mostly because it would be ripping the customer off.
Retailers buy their phones from Verizon at near retail value. So they buy a phone like the Nexus for $620 then sell the phone for $300 on the contract losing $320 on the phone. Verizon then pays a sizable commission on the line making your transaction profitable in the end for the retailer. Provided you pay your bill for the first 6 months.
Verizon has a limit on how many of each device the retailer can order within a time period. Because of this the retailer wants to make the most of the phones they get. In order to make the same profit selling a phone out right as they would if you signed a two year contract they would need to mark the phone up to nearly $1000. That is obviously ripping you off because you can get it cheaper somewhere else.
The sales person should have been clear up front and let you know they just don't sell phones out right.
Some of your big box stores that get a much higher allotment might not mind selling at near cost.
I am not sure if you are in the US or not but thought I would share that.

if 16gb is enough, it might, keyword might, be more economical to wait and let the 32 gb one come out. expansys told me the 32gb is probably going to be over $800 to ship to the usa. but then again, it might come out here in the usa at that time so it might be a little cheaper. but if you have the cash dude, and can't wait, get it imported. it's a damn good phone.

Why would I tell the OP to get it from Expansys or any other website if this one particular website offers it at a cheaper price? If you can find a price that is cheaper than what that store has to offer, then go ahead.

OP lives in Canada, it says it on his profile. I don't understand why you have to start drama over the internet. Do you have something against their company? Both companies offer the same product, so why not grab the one that's going to save you a couple of dollars if both companies offer fast shipping?
I've had friends bought from Expansys as well, and I know they have great customer support as well. Both companies are great, but the $10-25 price difference can put a difference if a person wishes to make the purchase or not.
not starting drama. it just seems like you're there to promote negri every chance you get. seems weird ya know? both are fine. and if he's in canada illinois is closer.

I thought these were being sold cheaper in the stores, not that high.

I bought one in the AT&T store about 3 weeks ago. The quoted me $99, and when I asked if there was anything else he could do, the manager took 25% off, for a final price of ~75 + tax. He told me that these docks are collecting dust, and they weren't even sure if they had any to sell when I first asked.
I think if you go to another store, or hit another manager up, you should be able to get a comparable deal. Good luck!
Yeah same here. I bought my in January and it was $99, well after they ran out online. The store was even running a buy one get one half off on all the other Atrix Accessories (excluding the Lapdock unfortunately).

Yeah, I wonder as well. I think that it's probably an AT&T question though.
Its not actually $200 off, its a guaranteed $200 trade-in for any working phone. Sure, it mathematically comes out the same in the end, but without a phone to trade, you don't get the $200.
It says in there "come back on 10/10 for the trade in", it still works until then.

Something new on the promotion site from the last time I saw it; Best Buy customers go in-store to redeem instantly. Also in the fine print it states Best Buy customers do not need to submit the form, so it looks like we can get it from Best Buy without the inconvenience of waiting 6-8 weeks for the rebate check.
Can you apply the BB gift card to the note 4 purchase if you are buying it outright?

Best Buy has their own trade in promotion that gives you an instant $200 gift card when buying a Note 4.
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/promo/samsung-galaxy-note-4-128435
So I went to Best Buy and asked one of their phone guys, about this. He said that basically you pre-order the phone (if you do it online it has to be for in store pick up, which is not available yet on their website). Then when you come into the store to pick up the phone, you can bring in any other working smart phone. Cannot have damage to it. And they need the battery and charger with it too. They will give you a 200$ credit/gift card. That can be used towards the purchase price of the phone. They will apparently let you buy the phone outright too, which I have had issues, doing with them in the past. But now with the mobile share value plans and Next and all it looks like they may have changed their tune about that finaly.
Interesting thing is that it looks like their price is 25$ cheaper than AT&T.

Wait. Any working phone? Could I get 200 for my old captivate?
Edit: aww... I just saw the details. Kinda a pain.
Thank god I decided to look on XDA before pre ordering!
FYI giftcardgranny.com (or similar site) will give you approximately 90% value of the gift card in cash.
I'm trading in an old 3gs
I have hear 2 different answers from Bestbuy on if the promo can be for off contract purchase or not.

The problem is they say $200 trade in on any working smartphone when you trade it in on a note 4. I am gonna go in my local store today and see what they tell me.
