Galaxy Nexus for as Low as $175

What I am going to try to do is pick up the Galaxy Nexus for the advertised Holiday price of $199. Plus, use this Living Social Deal, you get $50 for the price of $25. That gives me a grand total of $175 for the Galaxy Nexus, hard to beat. The Living Social deal is good for 2 more days so if you are interested jump on it.

I'd be surprised if it actually debuted at $199 now on Verizon. Time will tell there. That $50 is also only for accessories.

Um, to quote the offer, "$50 to Spend on Any Device or Accessory".
The thing is plastered with pictures that include phones.

The great thing about going through VZ here in the US is that if the phone has problems, you can take it back to them for a new one. If in the US, you order from the UK, you get to pay $30 to ship it back, and then wait a month for a replacement.
Oh, and the LTE ! And the 32GB storage......
Well worth a few days of waiting.

Instant replacement is really the only benefit I see.
Then again, I've never broken or had to do any warranty claim on 15+ smartphones (iPhone/BB/WP7/Pre/Android) that I've ever owned in my life.
I'm going with the odds. Besides, most issues are physical damage, which is not a warranty issue.
And once you root, your warranty goes bye-bye. Yes, there is the USB jig trick, etc.

Rooting doesn't automatically void the warranty. On the Nexus One unlocking the boot loader did, but HTC still honored it for hardware issues. On the Nexus S the language changed to MAY void the warranty and the boot loader became able to be locked via fast boot. GN also says "may". http://twitpic.com/7jii6h

Well ..... My GN will be here on Tuesday so, it's all good. The unlocked version works on TMO.
Remember you pay more for a contract per month costs than a non contract per month costs. So in the end, it is about the same as just buying it out right.

NEGRI DEAL! $685.50 For GSM Nexus!

NegriElectronics has a deal for this weekend to get the Galaxy Nexus for the lowest price I've seen so far, $685.50! Plus, it's free shipping in the US!
I thought I got a deal by ordering for 704ish from them a while back, but this deal is the lowest ever and is only for this weekend. If you were on the fence, now MIGHT be the time to act for the GSM version.
Coupon Code is: VZSucks
It knocks $45 off the price tag!

Good price and negeri, say what you will about them, are shaping up to be a good reseller.

I'm giving this serious consideration...

I'm really tempted to go through with this. I was at Best Buy yesterday talking to one of the Mobile guys. I'm really starting to think there won't be a GSM version available for retail sale in the US. Someone please talk me out of this! I'll will really hit myself if by the end of this month a GSM version is available in Best Buy less than $550. I wanted the 32GB GSM model but I feel like I've waited too long already.
Should I wait until the ides of December and see what happens or jump in on this Negri deal?

it will not since the phone will be from another country and not incorporated into their system. even then, if they actually would allow it they wouldn't be able to replace it for the same phone.

Good deal!

So I would essentially be screwed if I lost this phone? I am an outdoors man, and somehow lose them.

They charge tax so don't forget to factor that into the equation based on where you are. I got mine from Negri for $705 but after tax it shot up to $764. I was just thankful I saved $35 from a code.
Negri is the way to go... although I've heard mixed stories about the customer service they give but I'd recommend them. I got my phone super quick.

Yeah I know I got ripped off. If negeri is selling at $685, they are still making a profit, believe you me. And to think I paid $750...Expansys must have made a TON of profit on the units they pushed out just before Thanksgiving.
Oh well. Money. It comes and goes.

Does this phone come unlocked already!? I went to pre-order my own but it says (Verizon) next to it. I just want to make sure I get the unlock version other than the wack a$$ Verizon one. Please let me know.
Thank you

Galaxy Nexus and Assurion (GSM)

Not sure if it has been said, if so forgive me . I noticed a few people on here that already broke/ lost their phones. If your carrier uses Assurion which I believe every carrier does, the Galaxy Nexus IS semi covered just like previous Nexus phones. I have T-Mobile here in the states, as long as you have the full PHP protection on your account you can file a claim with Assurion. What will happen is you will have to purchase a new Nexus yourself but with proof of purchase they will cover the full cost minus deductible. So, the phone is $700, you pay the deductible equivalent (130 on tmous) they cut you a check for the rest so you get 570 back. No warranty coverage is provided obviously .Just thought I'd share for those that didn't know.

Is this for a phone bought off contract? I got asurion through Verizon a few days ago and was just told there a 100 dollar deductible.

Its the same if you were to go and buy a Galaxy S2 for $529 and do a claim with them , just paying the 130 deductible so if you wanted you can do fraud on any device....you only get 2 claims per year.... I'm not 100% if you have to send it back I'll find out tomorrow when I get to work, but I wanna say that yea, you'd have to send it back.

No. Carriers don't insure phones, Asurion does. Now I remember this was the policy with the N1 and the S I believe as well. Just to be clear I personally have not confirmed this myself, but a few trusted sources informed us here at T-Mobile regarding this.

Better than nothing, I guess.

$654.00 - the cheapest?

Looking to get my hands on another Nexus after mine slipped and fell into the ocean last night. Too much liquor I suppose... You guys know anywhere cheaper than here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/browse.html?ie=UTF8&marketplaceID=ATVPDKIKX0DER&me=A1QPS08K9FKKNF

I ordered mine from here but it was $10 more when I bought it. Fast shipping and what I got was a brand new condition unit with all accessories. Nothing wrong with it whatsoever that I can tell.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Open-Box-Un...Cell_Phones&hash=item20c0b65166#ht_1264wt_905
I don't think you'll find them any cheaper. But if you want it you'd better hurry as there are only 4 left in stock and they sell em fast.

Pay the extra and get from negri or expansys so you have warranty. If you buy from Amazon or newegg you'll only have the return or maybe just exchange period as your warranty.

Still try again. Some of us ordered from expansys and negri for a reason. We might have to wait but we have warranty. Cheaper is not always better in this case. Thats why coreyl is laying down awesome customer service in the expansys thread.

Also because of expansys's exceptional customer service i am going to order my car dock from them. They goofed on some orders and coreyl went above and beyond making up for it. Ordering a couple accessories at a premium is the only other way to thank them.

Yes it's $649 unless you're able to get the store manager to cut you a deal like I've had done once or twice in the past. I'll be returning my IP5 tomorrow in exchange for the Note 2. I hope they aren't too mad at me. Battery life on the IP5 leaves a lot to be desired.

How did you guys manage to get one off contract? I showed up early this morning and was the first into one store and they would no sell me one without signing a new contract. I even called customer service who called the store to clarify and told me it was up to the manager to decide whether or not they would sell it to me without contract because they are in limited supply. I called another store thinking maybe it was just that one at&t store and I was told the exact same thing by the other store. It's driving me crazy because I was ready to fork over $650 + for this phone. Customer support wouldnt even let me order over the phone because they claim that the phone isn't even in their system yet. Very disappointing day so far...

I literally walked in and said I was buying for the off contract price and that was it, guy rang me up and gave me my phone. My brother works for bestbuy mobile and he said that sometimes stores will do that to maximize sales because thats how they will make there money, off the contract instead of the phone. So if you were off contract i can see why they would be pricks about it.

Man this sucks for me. I am still under contract but the guy didn't even ask. I have called about 10 stores and the story has been the same except for one guy who offered to sell me one for $750 cash only!! I laughed in his face before I hung up that phone. I have a business account and I finally got off the phone with someone who was willing to help me order it, but get this, they charge businesses $100 more for the no contract price...$650 vs $750. That is so close to Best Buy's price of $800 that I stop from ordering it. I will speak with my company's account rep next week but this is really shady business even from At&t. Without my grandfathered unlimited plan I would be walking out the door at this point.

Yeah, you got that right. South Florida = Scumbag Land. This is the shady dealings I have had with a major company in a while. There shouldnt be this big of an issue buying off contract. It clearly lets you do it on the website, although when I tried that it makes me set up a new line of service or I have to act like a new customer. I even thought about buying it as a new customer and then canceling the line, etc. but that it just way to much work for a cell phone. Why they can't just shut up and take my money....I'll never know!

Hey Note2 owners (and soon to be owners),
I tried all afternoon on launch day to pick up one at non-commitment price, but all the AT&T stores here in Los Angeles area wouldn't let me as they were in "limited stock" and reserved for new or upgrade accounts. I even called a friend who knew a manager but he said the same thing. The only way was to order it online as it ships from warehouse.
I do have an issue though and I was wondering if anyone else is in the same shoes as I am.
I placed an order online that same afternoon, but ever since and until now it still shows "Status: Attention" on my order status page. I did call AT&T Premier to make sure, and the rep told me that it's still being processed and take anywhere from 24-48 hrs to finish processing the order, considering that the weekend was non-business days.
Is anyone else who ordered online on launch day still show that status? I've been stuck on my old flip RAZR phone for a month now since my issue with my S3 being fraudulently reported stolen (a story I might like to tell someday).
Just wondering if it's just bad luck with me or something. I just want my Note 2 and carrying this RAZR is kinda embarrassing lol
Thanks guys for any input.

My online (pre-)order status went from "Pending" or "Processing" to "Shipped". I never saw an "Attention" status, and I believe others here who did said it indicated that there was a problem that was holding up the order. Probably good to check with them again.

Man this sucks for me. I am still under contract but the guy didn't even ask. I have called about 10 stores and the story has been the same except for one guy who offered to sell me one for $750 cash only!! I laughed in his face before I hung up that phone. I have a business account and I finally got off the phone with someone who was willing to help me order it, but get this, they charge businesses $100 more for the no contract price...$650 vs $750. That is so close to Best Buy's price of $800 that I stop from ordering it. I will speak with my company's account rep next week but this is really shady business even from At&t. Without my grandfathered unlimited plan I would be walking out the door at this point.

Why not order it online? That seems to have worked smoothly for most people. I did that (for the full no-contract $650) and kept my grandfathered unlimited data plan (although initially AT&T changed it to a 3GB plan, and I had to call and have the unlimited plan restored).
