Thanks for that mate, I've just updated our website with a new post.
Finally we get to see some price plans, I'm going to buy myself out of my contract so I can get it, but that's only if phones4u releases before it comes on clove, otherwise I'll get it sim-free

I wanted the device earlier than the 16th though Need to get it asap for review.
Cant wait to get my hands on this one, I've used many Android phones, but this is by far the first phone that I'm actually really really excited about, can't wait
Waiting for it to land as an upgrade on Vodafone. Strangely, vodafone.ie has it listed on their coming soon page, but vodafone.co.uk doesn't... I'm (im)patently waiting...
Refreshing the page doesn't make it arrive quicker either

Ive preordered mine at clove. Paying full price, but I'm selling my SGSII to lessen the pain of paying full.
People think I'm mad selling my SGS2 for the Galaxy nexus, but I've always been a fan of the Nexus phones (had a Nexus One imported from the US when it was released).

I will keep my SGS II for some time and decide which one I prefer, then will sell one. Had SGS II for about 2 months and learned that I don't care about camera, 16GB storage is all I need and that I don't really care about gaming.
I'm only worried I might find Nexus to be too big.
Now featured at Amazon.co.uk - price pretty high, but November 2nd?!?

Price has now dropped from £740 to £600... still £100 more than I was hoping Amazon would have it for...
though they still have the SGSII for @£425 (excluding marketplace sellers).
Mark
Ouch amazon thats way too much for a phone I am personally hoping they will drop the price just before release like the nexus s to a more reasonable level.
Keeping my GSII anyway and might upgrade my contract with Vodafone around Jan to get the Galaxy Nexus as well.
At those prices I'll be waiting until the new year to see if there's much discount.

It would seem you might not get any information until the 17th.
A moderator on the Three blog has posted here that "You won’t be able to pre-order the Galaxy Nexus but we’ll let you know when it’s available on our network."
Hoping O2 won't do the same, but I have a feeling they might keep us all waiting. Getting a bit impatient now and wanting to get a pre-order in. Slightly underwhelmed by the O2 deals at buymobilephones.net. Want to see if Phones4U or O2 themselves are offering any better.

Probably means initial stocks are running low and they've been kicked back. This is a popular phone!
Samsung still haven't said anything since they officially announced the 17th.
I ordered mine last night from BuyMobilePhones, 3rd contract from the top. Should get it on the 18th although I expect it to be delayed like what my Desire was.

I pre-ordered mine from BuyMobilePhones too on the Panther36 contract with £5 off so £31 a month (handset price £89.99). Good price for 1GB internet and unlimited wifi on btopenzone the only thing I dont like is that the phone will be carrier locked to orange. Not a big deal since I wouldnt be using any other sim cards in it but mobiles.co.uk DOES guarantee that all phones supplied will be carrier unlocked..
I already cancelled my mobiles.co.uk pre-order whedn I found the BuyMobilePhones deal, now I cant decide whether to cancel again and go back to the mobiles.co.uk lol

I think i will order one too but im not sure how good the website is and how and how they would act if you need warranty work.. I might give them a call and ask.. ill edit my post later with their response!
DailySteals DOES NOT have phone support.. Now im not so sure what to do :/
Just took the plunge and ordered one from DS - I hope I don't regret it. Paid via PP, so if there's an issue - I can hopefully get my money back fairly easily.
This is the lowest price I've seen on it, and I've been watching Amazon - lowest there is $654.99 (includes shipping).
Fingers crossed that all goes well with this transaction...
Ordered one as well. Wonder what build it will come with.
They are a very legitimate website, I know people who've ordered form them they usually have some good deals
Also I think it includes a 1 year international Samsung warranty

funny thing is, the non-google signatured ones got updates before my google one did. lol
but in the end, they are ALL the same.
Condition: New Packaging: Retail Warranty: 1 Year International Brand: Samsung Model: Galaxy Nexus i9250. It says this under the info
Anybody have any experience with this site? Is it a legit seller? Why is it $100 cheaper than everybody else? I'm skeptic because i fear there is a catch. Too good of a deal.
International warranty does not apply to usa. Check amazon reviews of many samsung international phones to verify.
My grandma beat me down and took my nexus. Sent from a jitterbug with beats by dre.
I had a unlocked htc touch pro 2 and the international warranty worked for me when i dropped my phone in coffee. They charged me a $28 international warranty fee + shipping to chicago.
I don't see why samsung would be any different.
I read on another forum that the website is known to sell black market items and one thing that they are know for is their long shipping time.. I think they are legit but it might take time for us to receive the phone..
ive purchased from them before they usually take a week to ship out the items and they always use ups and give you a tracking number if that helps
This was pretty much the price point I've been waiting for. Ordered.
Let's just hope it doesn't need any warranty service.

So, if i buy this today and something better comes out at CES, how long do i have to cancel my order? I'm pretty sure it's not going to ship before CES.
I am almost sure something better will come out at CES from either HTC or Samsung but for me its not the octo core, 148 megapixel camera.. Its that this is a NEXUS phone! FTW!
Having been flitting between the One S (for the smaller size) and the One X for the potential hardware benefits I decided to just go with the device I most wanted and plumped for the One X, for me the size is really the only thing that made me think twice as I ride motorcycles for a living, am out on the road a lot reviewing kit and a whopping device is a bit of a PITA in leathers.
How many of you have taken the plunge with a preorder and how many of you went through the same decision making process as me then?
We've already got one of these: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1558246
But yes, I've pre-ordered and no, I didn't follow that decision making process (the bigger the better as far as I'm concerned).
I didnt see another thread about the same thing, nonetheless I am interested to hear if peoples buying decisions were anything similar. Having stuck (happily) with my original desire for 2 years the leap to such a massive device is, well, a leap.

I've just cancelled my preorder with amazon UK.
& preordered with carphone warehouse.
£10 cheaper
Fast delivery, should be launch day (amazon was free super saver delivery which could be 3-5 days)
Basically, the £10 saving has paid for my HTC screen protectors & micro sim card cutter & fast delivery is the bonus.

Yes pre ordered, currently love my SGS2 but I like new toys to play with been saving up for a new phone I know the SGS3 is due soon (will see how that fairs after I've got my HTC).
I'm use to 4.3" can't go smaller, I love the Galaxy Note so think the size of the One X shouldn't be an issue.

VERY bad experience with them.
I ordered a Limited Edition Zelda 3DS from thehut dot com and I paid for next day delivery...
Nothing came next day, so the day after that I phoned them up, they'd lost the parcel... Then they'd found it and it was due to be delivered the next day...
Then their tracking system said that at 14:53 the parcel was handed to the courier driver, then at 14:53 it was in transit, then apparently I signed for it at my house at 14:53... ALL THE SAME DAY!!!
Then a week later a woman knocked on my door and hands me the parcel, they'd delivered it to the wrong address, the other side of the city I live in.
They failed to tell me that I'd (apparently) signed for it, then that they'd lost it.
I think yodel are Crap.

Well, I just ordered one from Handtec... Wish I had a cheaper hobby...
I've always been a Sense fan, and I'm looking forward to trying the phone out. It's really going to have to be great though to beat my current phone (Galaxy Note International.)
Who else has ordered from across the pond? Who'd you order from?
What's the turnaround from those guys?
I'll let you know... Their site says it's in stock.
I did order a little late their time (4:30pm I think) so I wouldn't expect shipment today but I'd hope it goes out tomorrow.
Cool--I was thinking of ordering from Expansys USA or Negri potentially since they are US based, but would consider importing if the cost wasn't a lot more and I could have it sooner.
It might be a hassle if there was anything wrong with the phone, but it's not more expensive. Even with shipping my total came to $681 shipped and that was WITH the HTC sleeve (not in stock.)
I think it will also be faster as long as they get it shipped in a reasonable time frame. It says delivery in 2-4 days after it's shipped, which is about what it would be from a US seller unless you pay for expedited shipping.
I e-mailed Negri when they expected to receive theirs and never got a reply, so that's why I went to Handtec.
Negri tweeted out this morning they are expecting to ship out on Friday. So delivery next week.
I am also thinking of going with Handtec, they are cheaper and will most likely get you the phone this week.
I have a preorder with Negri, placed last week. They reckon both colors should be arriving around Friday, but black might be just slightly sooner to arrive. No info on whether they have enough stock in the first shipment to cover all current preorders.
Just ordered a white One X from Handtec today as well, to Vancouver, says 1-4 days when i ordered... which hopefully translates to thursday or friday.

I'm in Australia right now and the retail stores are selling "Optus software unlocked" versions for $658 AUD. Would you buy an Optus unlocked phone if your intention is to use it in the U.S.? Is it possible to get future software updates if they will most likely be pushed out by Optus? I'll be in the States probably on T-Mobile. Thanks.
yep ordered through clove and they should be shipping tomorrow to new york. just hope i can get it this week, and not next :/
this is my first phone im ordering over seas, if there is a software update does it still get pushed to our phones? been wondering that. thought it might matter that im not on their carriers out there.

I definitely agree for unbranded factory unlocked phones. But is this also true of carrier branded phones with bloatware? Don't updates then go through the carrier? And if so, can you still get the updates if you don't use the carrior's simcard?

The 16gb is available at the samsung store in Westfield centre Stratford. Thats the only place im aware of that has stock at the moment. They only stock the 16gb WIFI version though
Yep it's frustrating at the moment, I am almost tempted to order the 3G version from amazon.de, I think if they had the black version I would have ordered by now.
I can't help feeling that Samsung are shooting themselves in the foot the longer they leave it with the new Nexus 7 just round the corner.
Sorry I meant Westfield not lakeside! It's the 3G one I'm after ideally. Maybe amazon.de is the way forward. I'll give the UK another week or so then go German!

Carphone warehouse say they will ship wifi version before week commencing May 5th is you pre-order. However they also said this 10th april for delivery before 19th April. I pre-ordered (they took my money) and I rang to chase on the 18th to see it slip out to May 5th. So I cancelled my order.
So I don't suppose this really helps you! but they are listing it and cheaper than amazon.de.
I noticed the Carphone Warehouse date slipping too, I really looking for a black 3G version which it seems is non existent right now.
I asked Samsung UK on Facebook, they replied
Samsung UK (Facebook) posted this:
Samsung Mobile UK Hi Julie, the wifi version will go on general release in the first week of May. ^George
No details of 3G or 32GB units
I'm in the States, but want the 3G/Phone N5100 version as well. Every site that I've seen it listed at in the U.S. has also slipped from April 23rd to May 8th availability. So those dates correspond well to a 3-4 day lead time from foreign sources such as the initial May 19th, then May 5th dates given by Carphone Warehouse UK.
Hopefully May 5th (and May 8th for me) will be the day! Fingers crossed...
I own a Note 2, and was intrigued by this device.
However, the price really puts me off. For an 8" tablet, it is in a price bracket of it's own. More expensive than the iPad Mini even.
I just can't justify that layout for something that is just a little bigger than my Note 2, it just isn't worth it.
A real shame, because it looks a great device.

Its in a price bracket of its own, because its in a league if its own. Even against the iPad Mini, the Note 8 has the pen digitizer, better CPU, and 4x the RAM (although the exterior build quality is arguably not quite as good, but still great).
Its worth if for those that value a premium device packed with features, versus the "race to the bottom" pricing strategy and gimping of features and quality present on devices like the Nexus 7, Kindle Fire, and Galaxy Tab 2 7.0. I for one am thankful that somebody has stepped up with a quality Android device (in the "smaller" form factor), as the lower-priced competition just doesn't hack it for me.
I am also waiting for the 3G version to become available so that I can replace both my Note 2 and IPad Mini with a single device. :good:
Samsung UK Facebook stated the wifi version would be available on 10th May.
Currys have the same availability date with the Note 8.0 ready to pre-order.
The Note is on Amazon UK - £339. However they are stating a 1- 3 month delivery. I'm confident that it will be available well before that time slot, as they often state this for newly released goods.

Which is just a sneaky way of saying "10th May, just the same as everybody else", no?

I'm assuming you got the WiFi only version? I'm patiently waiting for the 3G/Phone version to be released in the UK or elsewhere so I can get it through an importer to the U.S. (Los Angeles).
Yes just the white 16gb wifi is all they have....hope you don't have to wait to long
Thanks. We'll see. Unfortunately, Negri Electronics has pushed their "Expected Availability" date for the preorders forward twice already.

An Australian grey importer got the the 3G version in stock yesterday, so probably you'll see other importers get them soon.
Decided to wait further, as Australian versions of the device get 24 months warranty, but if you get an international version, it only has 12 months warranty. Endless waiting!
