Galaxy Nexus $519.99 on icemonkey.com

http://www.icemonkey.com/unlocked-samsung-i9250-galaxy-nexus-16gb-black-or-white
Never bought anything from this site but I was looking through it and found the nexus for $519.99
I already for mine from dailysteals but for anyone who missed out $519.99 is a pretty damn good price and free shipping

It feels like the price for the G.Nex are rapidly falling the last few days. I've been closely monitoring prices via amazon and other third parties and it's incredible.

Probably worth pointing out that they are "a Daily Steals brand" and not a complete nobody. For whatever that's worth.

Their reseller ratings aren't bad either. I honestly don't think that people will get outright scammed from these third parties, rather it's the issue with customer service and shipping.

Yeah, I think I'd rather pay extra on a more reputable site and have the peace of mind.

wow... thats cheap and thers is a white version too!

I tried to order from that site but it wont let me use my credit card for some reason keeps saying paypal declided it, although I know there it plenty credit on the card.
Anyone else got it to go through?
I dont want to transfer funds from bank account via paypal on website as dont completely trust this place.

they also refer to the phone as a 4g LTE Galaxy Nexus. But also refer to it as the i9250 GSM Galaxy nexus.

Order from l2d2online.com they have white or black for 575 and code tjoos gives u 2% off...they offer free shipping and ship within 24hrs...I ordered a white one for 563 a couple days ago and they shipped it the same day..40 bucks more for peace of mind is worth it to me..they have return policy and warranty..

I've bought headphones from them before. They shipped them without notifying me but they are legit. The only complaint I have is not telling me when they were shipped. Have you added your card to your PayPal account? That is what I did.

Yeah, it was shipped within two days. It's a little scary when you don't know when its being sent. Lol. Maybe it was just for headphones though so it wasn't as important.

They go by country for warranty. You need a receipt showing you purchased the phone in that country, as well as an address in that country for Samsung to ship to after repairs. This is why going through Negri or Expansys is a must if you want a warranty.

You won't have a warranty because none of these come from the US. If you want the warranty to be valid still, you have to use a reputable importer that will handle it for you. Samsung won't let you send it in directly from the US.

As of 2AM (local time) mine is on the island of O'ahu!
I didn't pay for overnight shipping but they sent mine out overnight! The funny thing is I missed the first wave and didn't even order until last Monday.

Hawaii? I don't get it. ALL Hawaiian destined phones were to be shipped UPS Ground per ATT corporate policy. Also, all those that paid for overnight shipping were to be sent via the Post Office. Those that requested 2 week delivery were to be sent Overnight FedEx etc, per the well thought out, sharp and intuitive customer-driven VP level executive policy. Why all this confusion?

Mine arrived but clearly its been opened and was resealed with tape. Anyone else have that? Is this normal?

If your SIM card was already in the phone, that is most likely the reason. They probably did a check to see if it was good or not...

Are they asking too much?

That will make you safe to purchase it.. But remember he can still later file a claim that it was stolen. this is the other thing talked about in the link i give you. If he does this t mobile cant help you because of there contract with the Assurion.. You would then have to take him to court.. So get a copy of his drivers license and the receipt from t-mobile saying the phone was paid for and is under no obligation to them..
Him meeting you at the store says he seems legit...
as far as the price they are 560.00 or more for new... so its a good deal in my opinion.. I do not regret buying a used one.. OHH MAKE Sure you check the s pen .. mine was not working right i actually called samsung and they sent me a new oneo ...

Yes, i am in the south US, It took about a week to get it. I paid for the DHL 3-5 day I think. I ordered on a Thursday and got it the next Saturday. I would recommend getting it from there. the cost is the same, the delivery time is only a day or so longer but you get the correct part. A few bucks cheaper and a tad faster delivery doesn't mean crap if you can't put a working camera in your phone. FIXEZ.com ended up sending me the wrong part a total of 3 times. The first two were the camera for a I9500, which simply will not work and the third was a I9505 camera but the wrong core. The'tech" I spoke with kept saying he was going to personally pull the part. Witrigs is the way to go

Buying sealed T700 live demo unit for 200$

I have an opportunity to buy t700 sealed.
The catch is that it live demo unit.
Can I flash it with stock Samsung rom, root it and convert it to regular t700?
Thanks for helping

Absolutely no idea. But is it essential on a tablet? I've never used it once on mine.

I have t700 demo unit and it's working perfectly. You can flash it to stock without any problem although mine came with stock firmware without any demo apps. Only problem is that most of them have screen burn in and how bad is screen burn in depends of how much tab was used. I have mine for few months and burn in isn't that bad. GPS is working fine and everything else. And price seems to high, i paid mine around 140 $.

If you do the search the info will come up. It's been posted several times.

You may want to look at some other options, at about $200. For that money you should look at the Shield tablet and others.

Thanks for the support of an entirely different manufacturer in a Samsung forum.

I need it mainly for docs, pdf and movies.
I don't have time for gaming.
Another thought is to buy a used regular one.
Probably worse choice especially if the demo is completely new and you told me that converting it to regular is pretty easy.

Which was relevant to the device forum it was posted in.

I got my t700 for 180$ from eBay and lucky me they sent me the live demo unit I ordered and another new unpacked unit and didn't wanted it back
so I got 2 galaxy tab s for 180$
the live demo unit has a small not for sale print at the back, but it doest annoy me. Also a small Amoled screen burn in is present but it's visible only with white background. The funny thing there is that the screen burn in is caused by the boot animation. I have a Samsung logo burn in in the midle of the screen...
I am happy with my purchase, the 180$ I spent only for the demo unit is its money worth
I build Sucuk Rom on the demo unit so yes, it's the same as a normal t700
GPS is there also.

Thank you for answering.
Really appreciate you'll!
