I'd like to buy a Galaxy Nexus that's from the NTT Docomo network, the sc-04d model. Where can I purchase it that allows shipping into the US?
I saw it on Amazon japan for around ~300USD new and sold from docomo, but it doesn't allow shipping to the US...

I don't want to get the one on eBay for $500+, seems like a ridiculous price.
Where did those of you who have one buy yours?

I've been anxiously awaiting this phone since the Samsung Google unveiling in Hong Kong but it wasn't until yesterday that I decided to buy it and switch to Verizon. I had no idea that the phone is in such short supply.
I haven't checked Verizon official stores and I want to avoid paying full retail.
Radio Shack and Best Buy might have the phone in stock on Wed. Amazon, with the low ball pricing, is out past Xmas.
Ideas?
Edit: Found it at other Best Buys... Will see if they price match Amazon.
On contract , amazon is cheapest I think. Off contract it is cheaper from Verizon

Hi,
Does anyone know if Hong Kong has launched the Galaxy Nexus? I am going to Hong Kong next Friday, where can I buy the Galaxy Nexus and accessories or the Korean version of Galaxy Nexus In Hong Kong?
Thank you in advance
Yes it has launched in hong Kong! My nexus was imported from there

Which website did you order it from? Do you know where in Hong Kong I can get my hands on it hehe
I actually got it from a reseller here in the states that got it from hong Kong. I'm not sure which specific place you can buy it but I'm sure you can find s store if you look online. Might have to sift through some Chinese websites

I'd imagine all the usual suspects will have them:
Wilson and Citylink specialize in mobile devices.
Fortress, Broadway and Suning sell all sorts of electronics
All phones in Hong Kong are required by law to be unlocked unless you are on contract. Of course, The GN is factory unlocked...
All that i named are chain stores - so you can feel safe buying from them. Price will vary though due to the nature of buying things in HK
It has been available since 15 Dec
Go to get it from some chain store would be better than those small shops, especially tourist area. They usually charge way higher than the suggested price.
The chain store would be selling at suggested price - hkd 5398 if my memory is good.
Screen protector is usually given as a free gift, and the staffs should help you applying it.
All GN selling in HK should yakjuzs-build.

I bought my Galaxy Nexus in HK a week ago
The price is 5398 HKD in Broadway and Fortress
But you can find it cheaper in Mongkok Computer center or Golden Arcade (around 4800-4900 HKD); just keep in mind that they prefer cash there; credit card transactions are usually 3%+ to the price
btw, buying in Broadway gets you some freebies - I got screen protector and extra battery with a charger
What Skeve said
I got my GNexus for $4900 HKD
Does the version of nexus galaxy purchased from hong kong work with US tmobile 3G and 4G Network? Does all gsm version has 1700 MHz?
Thanks
I'm heading to Bangkok with a short layover in Seoul in a couple weeks. I've done research about maybe getting the Korean version.....but it looks like they're contract only. I wanted the extra larger battery.
I'll probably end up buying it in Thailand. I think I can get it for about $590 US (19,900 baht less 7% VAT). No contract, unlocked.

Yes sir, using it on mobilicity right now, which has the same band as tmo.
I recommend getting it from wai shen (衛訊), broadway or fortress.

isn't there a chinese language/system language by default in settings?
I don't think you can flash to a different ROM without rooting as if I remember; cooked ROM's are pre-rooted
but you should be able to change firmwares through fastboot flashing; thought I'm unsure about that
bumpin' this up for an expert to step in

hi. i just bought a GN from wai shen (衛訊), but the invoice didn't have WCDMA 1700. it only has 850/900/1900/2100. that means i can't use tmo's 3G??
im in china right now and am looking to buy a nexus. no chinese carriers offer this phone and the samsung stores don't have it either. i can either buy it here or buy it when i go to canada in about 2 weeks. i looked on taobao (the chinese ebay) and the price is about the same as if i buy it in canada. some of the sellers on taobao are based in the city im in right now and i can go visit their storefronts in person, but im just worried that the ones they sell are fake, or won't work with my telus sim, or something..... the upside to buying it here is i'll get it sooner, should i wait or get it now?
my choice is buy it in canada

taobao is suck if you are not familiar about mobile devices
I suggest you wait.
on PAYG it costs more than a s3.
on contract it costs either equal to the s4 or MORE than the s4 depending on the provider.
When I rang vodafone to query why they charge more for the s4 mini than the s4 they said due to demand.
Is a shame this phone doesnt have mhl out, otherwise it would be a beast. As I see it kept a fm radio which the full s4 doesnt have.
Do other countries have it cost more than the s3 (and s4)?
Not here in Singapore! I don't know any other S4 Mini users around here actually. :/
350€ in Germany. Quiet similar to a s3.
I got mine I9192 off UK eBay for £285

I got a GT-I9195 from UK eBay for £300, you just need to shop around.
Here in Sweden S4 mini and S3 are pretty much on par with ~375€ / ~$500 in the established shops.
However the s4 mini was much more expensive at the release date and the price dropped approx 25% in one month! I really noticed the heavy price drop. Possibly an intended strategy from Samsung.
Here in the UK the cheapest I've seen from a trustworthy provider is £21 pm..Cheapest I've seen from the internet is 16.23pm on dialaphone. Not sure if I should go for the dialaphone one as it has mixed reviews :/ If anyone has ordered from there before please tell me if they're dodgy, thanks!
Hmm I thought this phone would be a lot cheaper in UK. Here in Sweden you get it for £9 / 24 months with contract. If you buy it cash it costs £235.
Gernany Hamburg, 429€ in July
and i think it is worth.
/€: s4mini LTE i9195

yeah thats under half price on contract. your price seems more realistic, here in the uk I think they alter pricing on popularity, if something sells well then regardless of spec and cost pricing is pumped up. here in the uk the s3 mini and s4 mini phones are extremely popular outselling the flagships.
Just bought mine from Facebook for sale, free or wanted for £250. Did have Xperia Z before and prefer this phone.

i did't want to open a new thread so i'll ask here...
I'm from Croatia and i think we will not get the DUAL SIM version here. We recently joined the EU so if i buy it anywhere from Europe, it will be tax free.
My only condition is that it's dual sim and that it's unlocked for all networks.
Could you advise from where can i order it online for the best price?

Ebay UK, it costs about £270-280
Got it for 400 Euro.
Carphone Warehose £329.
I bought mine from there, I like to be able to walk into a local shop if i have any issues, and will pay a bit extra for that. I think, when considering the price, that it's worth remembering that this is a really well performing LTE enabled phone. I think it's worth every penny. I also have an HTC One, and it easily feels as snappy day to day as my One, just not as big and heavy.
Hi,
I'm looking for the cheapest place to buy the international model (LG-H815) with shipping to the US. (shipping to Israel is veeery expensive, a lot of taxes)
Currently the cheapest I found is about 560$ from expansys france or Germany (expansys USA and UK are more expensive), but it's without shipping and excluding Europe taxes (VAT), which from what I know from ordering from handtec or clove, does not apply for shipping outside of Europe. I also didn't check yet if it is available to ship from expansys france or Germany to the USA and it's coat.
If anyone saw it somewhere cheaper, please share.
Again, I'm looking only for the international H815 model.
Thanks!
