Oi,
I just have a small question: Is it possible to buy a unlocked GSM Galaxy Nexus (without contract) locally in a store in the usa? My uncle is there for a few days. If so, in wich ones?
Thanks in advance!
(and sorry for my bad english :I)
Tell him to buy it from Google play store, google sells the phone for 400 dollars and 1 day shipment if im right.. Best deal outthere
Galaxy Nexus AOKP m5 Franco kernel m3
I have seen one in a Fry's Electronics store. For $800.
Play store is the way to go.
Sadly he is on a roadtrip, so we need a local store who sells gn's for 400 dollar :<
Local craigslist.

Buy and send to the next town
nope
Go to fry's and make them pricematch either newegg or google themselves. that'd probably be your best bet.

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?
Negri has coupon code VZSucks for $45 off GSM galaxy nexus.

Negri has free shipping...... unless you want to upgrade to a quicker service

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...
Hey guys...
So I'm coming to London for one day tomorrow... and I need to pick up an unlocked Galaxy Nexus. What's my cheapest option for picking one up in a store? Thanks!
Try a Three store, they have the GN on prepay for £499. It should be unlocked but ask the guys in the store to confirm this for you.

Try CEX as well. Grade A (used, but most likely unused due to the recent release) are going for around £450. Includes warranty etc.
Regards
Try vodafone store. They were selling for £425 unlocked sim free. A few members on xda got the deal.
Not sure if they are still doing that. Worth a try

The Vodafone store told me they never sold it unlocked outright. They referred me to Carphone who as it turned out, sells it for 515 GBP (taxes included). That's more than $800. Any place in London selling it for less?
Hey guys,
I was thinking about getting the Galaxy Nexus directly from Google through the Play Store. Are there different versions around or will it also work here in Germany?
Thanks!
Yes its the same. It's unlocked and will work anywhere in the world. The Play Store only ships to the US though. Have to buy from a different importer, or from a phone shop in Germany.
There's nothing special about the Play Store version though... it just has Google Wallet preloaded, that's it.
Alright, thanks! I have an American friend who would get me one.

The question is, why would you go through all that trouble? It's not like it's cheaper. If customs opens the package and that's very likely, it'll end up costing you even more than in any local MediaMarkt who are selling them for around 360€.

Its gonna be more expensive to have them buy it in the US + tax + shipping, then pay to ship it to you + customs (potentially).
Just buy it directly and have it shipped to Germany.

Well, right now there is no better price than buying it in the U.S. and importing it, in my opinion. The phone will be about $380 including tax and shipping. This is 310 Euros. Tax for delivery to Germany will be about 40 Euros. So it is 350 Euros effectively.
I can't find any store that sells the Nexus for this price in Germany right now. Do you?
And which U.S. store is selling the Nexus at a comparable price that will ship to Germany?

I guess since the Nexus 7 is shipping from the UK's Play Store, the Galaxy Nexus should be too, but I haven't found any pricing information. Can anyone in the UK check this?
Only the Nexus 7 is available under the 'Devices' section in the UK Play store currently.
I'd be interested to see how the price drop would convert into £ too.
Wow, that's just stupid. If they can sell the Nexus 7, they might as well sell the GN as well. Man..
So..who all are looking to buy this in India? I'm thinking of getting one using Google Play Store and HopShopGo this or the next week, 32GB version should cost about ~350$ by my calculations (270$ + 16.5% Customs + 25$ HopShopGo shipping).
Just as a note, I am not looking into selling or buying for others, just asking for people who are looking to do same as me
Available on Ebay
The16 gigs model is listed on Ebay already. For 19900/- with free shipping from US. http://www.ebay.in/itm/Google-Nexus...t=IN_iPads_Tablets&hash=item1c3551d6e9&_uhb=1

Dude i have placed a order on Ebay for 32gb four days ago, currently the listing is finish, below is the link, with adding coupon i have it for Rs.21350/-
http://www.ebay.in/itm/Google-Nexus...40308?pt=IN_iPads_Tablets&hash=item1c35210374
hey guys, is $229 for the 16 gig model the before tax or after tax cost of the Nexus 7 in USA ? I just wanted to know the exact price difference in ordering from Ebay vis-a-vis having someone get it from US...
Do you get india warranty when u buy from ebay or amazon?
Hey people, I ordered a nexus 7 16gb wifi only, on 2nd august, and it'd be arriving either tomorrow or day after tomorrow.
There's this seller called TabIndia on eBay.
I got it for 17500/- ($288) which is the cheapest you can get. The seller is trusted, and really nice to talk to. For getting a discount of 1500 (instead of buying it at 19000 through PaisaPay by eBay), you need to deposit the money in his account and he'd send you the tablet.
Of course, it sounds like a Scam, but I did it, and the seller is trustable. He owns a nice shop and you could just check out his eBay Reviews.
you could mail him @ [email protected] if you wish to buy with certain discount.
He was selling 32gb at 20,500 AFAIK.
I'm really worried about screenguard since I don't have any. I ordered XtremeGuard but that'd take like 20 days more to arrive.
Any suggestions for the same? I have a neoprene sleeve which'd work for nexus 7 2 though.
Warranty ?
Am also considering getting one for me from USA as one of my relative is due to arrive next weekend, Can anyone here using NN7 in India tell about Warranty ?
Will we get warranty in India by ASUS ?

Check the contract terms where you buy it. Maybe it got international warranty or just limited.

Its before tax. I bought a 32 GB model from BestBuy. Price came to around $290 ($269 + taxes). I think Amazon doesn't charge any taxes.
I am waiting for it appear in Play Store India so that I can order one for my parents. But considering people are shipping from US, I am thinking of doing the same. Anybody has experience in how I can ship to India after buying from here?

Sorry if my wording was not clear. What I meant was this - I am in US now. So, I was wondering if anybody had any experience buying it from US and shipping it to India? Other posters, I believe, were talking about ordering them from India.

Well if you are in the US, just buy one and send via your trusted parcel service, e. G. DHL, should be not a problem, not sure about Indian import tax tough, I had to pay 7 percent over here.

Ask tax form from seller. When item leave the country, immigration must pay you back to your account.
