I would try negri or expansys. You will have warranty through them. You will NOT have warranty with newegg or amazon. And I also suggest waiting till February and see if the 32GB comes out. 16gb version price will probably go down. You might find a good deal on a slightly used one from somebody unloading to get a 32GB nexus aaaaand, it gsm version might officially be released in the USA and then it will be safer to buy through newegg or amazon. Anyways, buying through newegg or amazon right will only only allow the exchange/return period as your warranty. Not good if you ask me.
My grandma beat me down and took my nexus. Sent from a jitterbug with beats by dre.

All GSM phones come unlocked.
Newegg, Negri, Expansys are all good choices. Can't really go wrong with either three.
I personally bought mines from Negri (look for coupons if any exist and you can get a good % off)
Keep in mind that the white GN and GSM 32GB GN is coming out at the end of February (or so) if you're interested in that.
Pretty much what rbiter said.

personally i recommend negri electronics. they're one of the best places to get it. also currently the cheapest. and they honor the years warranty from samsung at no extra cost. they also include a US adapter.
i bought mine from them.
also, keep in mind that the 32GB version is coming in a little over a month, so if you need more than 16, you might want to wait.

oh, and it works great with t-mobile in florida.

Adapter? I ordered mines and didn't come with an adapter. Worked in the wall just fine. I had a yakjuxw build. You might of gotten the UK version so it needed a US adapter, that's probably it.
But regardless, Negri has great customer support + fast shipping. Would buy again, take a look at them. Definitely the cheapest and google around for a coupon (as I mentioned before.. you might save some more!)

I purchased mine from Negri. Had a problem with the first unit, would not recognize my SIM card. Had to pay for a second unit to be shipped while I sent the first one back. Sent the original back in the same box the next day, never even opened the headset or charger. They told me would only take 10 to 12 days for them to issue the credit on the device. They received it on December 19th still no credit and they are not responding to my emails. Now I have to dispute through my c/c company. As far the second part of the question, my GNex works great on TMOUSA! I have not had any issues with the phone working on their system and the speeds are pretty good, not LTE good but still good. I'm getting over 7Mbps down and upper 1's up, I'm outside Philadelphia.

Have you tried contacting them via Twitter? they usually have great customer support. I'm not sure what's up but I'm sure they'll fix you right up.
https://twitter.com/#!/negrielectronic

yeah i got some time... i was thinking prices will go down closer to the end of the month because of the release of the 32 gb version so im hoping to get a 16gb a little cheaper... honestly, its kinda tough to find a good deal on this phone... if n e one has coupon codes let me know! lol thanks for ur help guys

I'm sure you'll have a lot of people recommend Negri here and I can vouch for them. They offer competitive pricing as well great discounts.
I purchased mine during the holidays with free shipping and received mine within a few days.

I haven't tried twitter but I will thanks for the suggestion. The reason I bought from them was positive reviews from other buyers. Kind of pissed at them though, 3 emails unanswered and I'm out $750 waiting for them to respond...

You could also give them a call,
Toll Free: (888) 358-6358 x 0
(888) 358-6358 x 4 (Accountant Office)
Most likely closed today but tomorrow should be fine. Also seems that their Twitter customer support is still active today, so that might be your best bet, seem to be very friendly and helpful.

im still debating waiting to see if prices will go down a little more....

just bought from expansys... $649.99 with promo code for 20 off
goooodbye t989 samsung galaxy s ii helllo nexus =)

Negri has Titanium GN for $595.50 shipped

First off, not at all affiliated with Negri.
Hey guys though I'd inform everyone that Negri Electronics has a sale going on right now for limited time. They're selling the Canadian version of the Titanium 16gb Galaxy Nexus for $595.50. The coupon "GIFT" works for $30 off ontop of that. $565.50 with free FedEx shipping and no tax if you live outside NV.
I just cancelled my pre-order for the white model and purchased one. REALLY wanted the white version, but I just can't justify the $120 price increase for it. (yes its just a placeholder and their actual price may be lower, but I still can't take that risk. Its serious money!)
The CAN version will not come with straight yakju, but I'll simply flash it the day I get it anyways.
Thought I'd share the great deal. Hope it all works for you guys too.

So you finally took the plunge! What's your receiving date looking like?

I did! Got shipping confirmation and tracking # from Google Checkout about an hour ago. No info yet, of course. CS says 3-5 business days. I'm hoping for this coming Wednesday.

I did the same thing about half an hour ago. I was going back and forth about getting the international version from negri but when I saw the Canadian version and the GIFT coupon worked I went for it!!

Looks like both CAN and Int'l models are pentaband. Why the difference in price? Is it because Canada already has a GSM model for sale?
I bought the Int'l version from Negri in the beginning of December, and it's great. Only problem is the vibrate function started acting strange. I sent it in for "international warranty" which is about 3-4 weeks. Any word on how long it will take to fix for the CAN model?
Congrats on the purchase! It's the best phone I've ever used (and I've used a ton!)

I'm assuming its just cheaper for them to import from Canada to NV than from the UK, and they got a better deal. They're on a limited supply sale as well, which could also explain it.

Probably a similar amount of time I'd assume. they still have to receive it from you, then setup the warranty exchange and ship it somewhere else in the world to be worked on.

Thanks, I'm very excited!

Looks like Negri killed the "GIFT" coupon for the device this afternoon. There are some others out there for a smaller discount though.

Best place to buy GSM Galaxy Nexus?

I'm wanting to pick up the unlocked version of the Galaxy Nexus. I will never give Verizon a penny, and I've read it works on both ATT and TMobile 3g.
I was thinking Amazon, but I don't know how the warranty and things will work. So, for those people with the unlocked version, where did you buy it.

You've got 5 minutes to buy from Daily Steals (above post)
I bought from Negri Electronics and it's been great.

In case you missed the dailysteal, try looking for on either eBay or Amazon. Try auction or whatever works for you. I won one auction for $585.05, so you should aim for that maximum amount. Or based on my calculation, you could wait another month or two and the price will go down to around $500. Good luck !

Got mine from Germany, Coated me about $538 with 2 cases and a screen protector.

If your in the states i order mines from Amazon.. choose One day Shipping.. got it the next. You could get free two day shipping also.. Its only $594
Click this link. All my friends bought theirs from these guys

If I had one bit of advice it'd be to discourage from buying on eBay or craigslist (or similar) if you at all care about warranty. I know it sucks and you'll hopefully never have to do it, but ordering from an importer will give you some peace of mind knowing you could send it in if you needed to. Importers have it for under $600 nowadays. Depends how much that's worth to you.

Can you use search or google? It's not that difficult to find it,
http://www.clove.co.uk/samsung-galaxy-nexus-16gb-white

Every importer has it. It's a bit more expensive because they came much much later and there's not nearly as big of supply/market for them.
I know Negri Electronics has them for something in the $450 range. Not sure what their shipping policy to the UK is though.

The official price in HK is $5698 simlock free
Divide by around 7.8 for USD
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

The starting price for the unlocked GN2 in the Netherlands is 629 euro`s. Only one price listed so far

It is 440£ from clove.co.uk for the unlocked 16gb. It is where I ordered mine.
That comes out to $715 US. Shipping is pretty reasonable about 16£ ($26) to the US via DHL.
If you wait a bit after it is officially released you will be able to find it slightly cheaper from hk sellers on eBay (grey market versions).. Also, don't let price be your only guide as to where you are buying from, take into account the reliability of the sellers, especially if you are buying from eBay.

Make sure you get a genuine handset and not some import model from who knows where. If a problem should occur you may not have warrantee in the US. Better check that first, because the price looks way to low to me

Full retail on the US cellular pre order page is $799.

I was reading the pre order threads for the S2 and the S3 here on xda and Clove seems to have a good reputation, so I am not worried about receiving a non genuine phone.
However...I should probably clarify a few things since I did mention buying Grey market in my previous post: Ordering out of country always carries risks with warranty. Essentially if you order from a UK, or any dealer outside North America, you can expect not to have a US warranty, or sometimes only a service-only warranty (ie, you pay for the parts). In the case of Clove or Handtec, warranty is usually handled by the vendor company (you ship back to the shop you bought it from, and they ship it to their repair place).
If you order a grey market phone from ebay, though, expect to have no warranty coverage..as it is unlikely the seller will do a warranty return for you. Also beware of sellers who claim their products carry a Samsung "International" warranty.
I bought my SGN1 from a Sin Tat dealer in HK when I was there for a visit earlier this year. The prices there are very good, but it comes with the understanding that there is no returns, and no warranty outside of HK.
