I'm looking online since it's been available in the U.S. now and I'm seeing Amazon says there a month delay in delivery but I haven't heard or seen any posts about anyone getting the phone through Asus, Newegg, or anybody else yet.
Which is the best way to get the phone without the delays and the fastest shipping possible?

Directly from Asus. Amazon charges taxes in my state now

Amazon says a month or more as a precaution. It said that before and they had it in stock that night, but quickly sold out.
I ordered from Asus. My only gripe is they never emailed me to say it was in stock, shipping, or a tracking number. It was all listed in my account on their site, but an email would have been nice. I ordered from Asus because I figured they'd ship before anyone but Amazon actually did.
I've ordered from B&H several times and they're excellent.
If I had to choose an order I'd go with Amazon, then B&H, and Asus last. It's worth noting B&H doesn't charge tax in most states so you'll save around $50.
I ordered from Newegg when they were in stock there.
Just checked bnh they don't seem to have it in stock

Where to order in Canada except Amazon.COM and BHphotovideo?
I am also having a rough time tracking this phone down. I tried Newegg when it was in stock to save when I got paid last week. Now not only is it not in stock, it isn't even listed in the website anymore. Amazon is currently only one in but says will take awhile to ship when I got to finish my order so I cancelled. B&H is out so I might end up getting it from ASUS.
BHPhotovideo is available to pre-order.
Newegg is sold out.
Amazon just got more in stock.
And of course, you can order it via Asus's official store.
Just got a email bnh says they are back in stock. Has anyone ordered from them before how reliable are they? From what I've heard they don't charge taxes from your location but I've never ordered through them before

I've ordered allot from B&H over the years, lawless each time. Ordered numerous phones too, included a new 5Z on Thursday which as you mentioned, came back in stock the next day. No Tax outside of NY, free S&H, great seller.
Got an update with Newegg. They are on Back Order now. For awhile they didn't even have it posted unless you had the Item link previously saved. Just FYI
There are 2 on Swappa right now. One is at the astonishing low price of $410.
Just ordered mine this mornin off bnh I'm getting it delivered to my job by 1030 am I paid extra 30 for next day shipping otherwise I would've waited til Tuesday because of the holiday

I just ordered mine from Newegg yesterday, tax free and free shipping. Within an hour or purchasing it, it went back to back order. They must go quick in newegg.

Skinomi has their Galaxy Nexus screen protectors and adhesive back protectors up on amazon. I ordered one last night and If it's anything like the one my mom bought for her Blackberry I'll be happy... once I get the damn thing on anyway. I'm really hoping I can get an OtterBox for it though.
How the going to a back protector for that textured back?
I voided my warranty and your nexus.
Thanks for the tip, just picked one up!
they do have a coupon out I think it is- skinomi25 thats 25% off
tnx, Skinomi is new of me, i jest order 2 units and hope that the screen quality will be fine.
Well, It still isn't here... I placed my order on the 24th and the USPS tracking website has said "electronic shipping info received" since the 31st. I have contacted the seller and am waiting to hear back.
has anyone who ordered one of these received them yet i received my tracking number a week ago and the never actually shipped
I emailed skinomi..they just received their actual stock today..

this reminds me of when I ordered Notion Ink screen protectors. They sent people tracking numbers and everything.. then 2 weeks down the road, we all found out that they didnt even have any stock and there were delays. They didn't even bother informing their customers.
It was a disaster
Sounds like handtec. Im wondering where my skinomi is also. My window for receive date was 11/22-11/28 and i ordered around the 16 th or so. Im gonna cancel and not buy from them again. Lame.
Sent from my samsung gt i9250 which is in the wrong country.
I'm still waiting on my skinomi skin from Amazon. Ordered on the 9th and it was supposed to be delivered by the 22nd. On the 24th I emailed the seller to find out it was a pre-order item and they would get them out as soon as possible.
Perhaps they should have listed it as pre-order on the Amazon page.

yea.. thats skinomi's style.. god damnit, I can't believe theyre doing this for another product launch again -_-
Just wait till you try to do a replacement with them for their lifetime warranty guarantee. I had to make a claim for my skinomi on my Motorola Xoom a while back and they asked me to fill out a form and FAX it to them along with my receipt. I asked if I could use email instead and they told me no. So they said out of kindness they would send me a replacement without me faxing them the form and proof of purchase. The replacement arrived in about 4 weeks during which I continuously asked them to update me with tracking which was never given to me. I will never again order anything from that company even though the skins are actually good quality.

Nope, this: "We're sorry. We are unable to retrieve tracking information for this shipment at this time."
The tracking number basically doesn't exist.
Just got this email back from Skinomi, I thought I would share...
according to them, they actually shipped my skin. last time I confronted them about this kind of situation (with the NotionInk protectors), they readily admitted they didn't ship it or had any in stock. So, I have no reason not to believe them...... I hope?
Hello,
Please be assured we do have this item in stock and your item is well on its way. We must advise though that it normally it may take about 1-2 weeks from the time your package ships for international items to arrive. Unfortunately it usually is not possible to track international items. However 99% of the time our international customers receive their packages during that 1-2 week. Usually most orders actually arrive sooner.
Please check with your local customs/post office for any information about your package. Your tracking ID is your customs ID. If you do not receive your package within 2 and a half weeks please let us know
Thank you
****Expect possible shipping delays due to the holiday season right around the corner. We apperciate your patience and understanding, and wish you very happy holidays!****

I ordered mine from their website, said was shipped on the 26th. Four days later, never got the package (I live an hour away from their warehouse). Contacted them, they said 'lost in shipment with USPS' and they'll ship another one, hopefully its true :/
Where would you tell me to buy it, and why? I'm really looking for the cheapest price, but if there are other details I should know about I'm interested to hear. I live in the U.S. and I'm on AT&T, btw.
The cheapest place i seen is clove or handtec. It comes out to be $715ish after all the shipping and currency exchange fees.
I got mine from Expansys USA for about $750.
I went with Popular Electronics. Service was awesome and they overnighted it to me. But it was a bit more expensive than some other places.
Also go it from expensys. Used promo code and total came to 729. Good service and got it on time.

Went with Negri. Ordered on a Saturday night, shipped monday, arrived Wednsday with FedEx Ground. Awesome. Came with an Andy Android figure. Customer support was really on the ball.
I also went with Negri. Ordered it this morning and it has already shipped. To top it all, it cost $720.50 after the coupon.
I went with Clove.Co.UK.
Ordered Tuesday night, delivery slated for Friday. Process has been extremely smooth and the phone cost $696.00 shipped. (No import taxes either)

I saw it on a site for $608 and a $25 off but it went to out of stock within 6 hours before I could order but I emailed them asking if it would be back up or in stock at all.

So I habe a T-Mo GSII and I want to order a Galaxy Nexus, this'll be my first Nexus phone. I've been looking around the forums and there's different sites people have usied to order one. Any personal opinions on which is the best place to order from? Thank you in advance.

If you want top service, order from Expansys. Aside from having a rep on this board who is VERY responsive & helpful (COREY L) they also have a $40 discount coupon 40OFFGNX (that's four-zero-oh) which worked for me as of late last (Thurs) night.
Ordered last night 11PM (PayPal) and it was already picked up by Fedex and scheduled for delivery tomorrow by noon(I paid for SAT delivery).
My guess is if you wait another 2-3 weeks you will see a pretty decent price drop but if you're in a rush I'd say EXPANSYS.
I just sold my T-Mo GSII as well.
Seconded, Expansys
I pre-ordered mine from Expansys and it arrived at my house about 5 days after the release overseas (including Thanksgiving). The transaction was professional and painless.
Yes, it's pricey at the moment, but the price should come down after the festive season.
Failing the announcement of a domestic US GSM version, go with Expansys.
Handtec UK has consistently been $50 cheaper since release. I've picked 2 from them so far. They also have free shipping to USA. Since it is your first Nexus I should point out that any grey market device will have marginal or no warranty service, including expansys us, read the fine print not the ads. Good luck.
Thanks for all the input guys. Yea and I was really wondering too about he whole warranty thing, would there be none since I'm ordering overseas?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
I think Negrielectronics.com still has a $40 off "HOLIDAYS" coupon. That makes it about $685, with free shipping.
+1 on expansys.
corey L is the sh!t!
Purchased mine from negrielectronics.com. Great experience.

+1 for Negrielectronics.com . They had the cheapest price when I got mine, free shipping and I literally had it delivered to my house the next day. (Sadly it was a friday and I wasn't home so I had to wait until Monday for it to come around again but that was my bad.)
If you do use Negri, use amazon or google check out to speed things up, people processing credit cards with them have reported delays in the process.
Negri also - best price (after coupon), and shipped quickly. Also, no tax for me!
$685 is pretty good for this level of phone off contract.

I don't think I'll ever use expansys UK again. Mine was faulty on arrival and it took two weeks between reporting it faulty and getting the replacement through. Seemed like forever!!!
I don't know if that's typical for Internet retailers, quick to send but slow to resolve problems. It's all sorted in the end so can't complain but waiting two weeks was torture.
+1 for Expansys, Got mine delivered 2 days after ordering, no problems at all.
NewEgg is selling it for 719.00 right now, NewEgg is always on point, great service and prompt shipping.
Coupon codes available for both...

Ordered from Negri on the 22nd, the coupon was good for $50. My total was $680.50, and they were offering free shipping via FedEx Saver. Its due on the 29th.
I've always used Handtec, but with that coupon, Negri was cheaper.

I sold my T-MO GS2 and bought a galaxy nexus as well. Great decision imo.
I ordered from Negri and it was there in three days. Ordered on Sunday night, got it on Wednesday morning. Got it for 685.
Ohhhh of course a couple days after I order, they lower the price.
Anyway, did you guys get FedEx shipping? Mine was shipped on the 22nd, and still says estimated delivery is the 29th. I was really hoping for like Monday, or Tuesday at the latest...

If you're still looking and depending on how close to the USA/CND border you are you could pick one up from Bell or Virgin off contract. Especially while the US DOllar is stronger. Just my 2cents...
I went to a Verizon store and bought mine for $650 and didn't have to worry about shipping.
Sometimes buying off contract doesn't make sense, can someone explain?
I have a question about buying unsubsidized phones off contract. It makes sense on certain plans, like T-mobile value plans that end up saving you money. However, for the rest of the folks who are on regular plans with Verizon, doesn't it make sense to get the phone subsidized from somewhere cheap like Amazon. I mean you're going to have the phone at least for 6 months, then you can pay the prorated Verizon ETF whenever you want to cancel your contract. Doesn't it come out cheaper? Am I missing something? Are you guys on different Verizon plans?
Anyone here have ordered this phone from Handtec? Have you received your ship date yet?
Thanks!
They're saying devices will ship on 3/4 on their website. I haven't ordered yet, plan to do so tomorrow. I actually live locally to them and hope to see if they'll let me come and pick the device up (instead of posting).

yea i have pre ordered grey.took my money last week.no ship date.wish they could send mine as it takes 5 days on average no matter what shipping i use.3rd phone purchased from them.they are good with emails if you want to hit them up
Hmm I guess no one has received ship dates yet then. I saw that they said they have already received their units a couple of days ago. I figured maybe they will send it out early, but guess not.

I've used them before, shipping from them is pretty quick. 2 days for USA. They haven't sent out any shipping info yet but their site do say back orders are going to be sent out the 3rd of April.
Also they have the cheapest deals! 403.99 GBP before VAT

i would be too worried about UPS showing up with my phone and asking for $75 or something. that would cause me to force a reversal at my bank then pick up the phone at UPS for $75. that would be an awesome deal, but i would feel bad about it.

I'm assuming the $75 you're talking about is for any import fees. Well I ordered my SGS2 from them and I did not have to pay anything to UPS. I also looked up import taxes/fees for mobile phones from other countries and it seems we only have to pay at max $2 so I wouldn't be worried about that at all.

I should have mentioned earlier, the $2 is for the import fee. You still need to pay for shipping which is 16 GBP. The last time I ordered from handtec I didn't even have to pay the $2 import fee.

Awesome thanks a lot man. I just wanna make sure ups or whoever delivers the phone to my house doesn't hold the package cause I have to pay some kinda tax on it.
I've ordered mine from Handtec, had a chat with someone from the online support team, they said that most of the pre orders will be shipping out on the 3rd and (for people in Australia) transit time is around 1-4 days. Fingers crossed to receive it before the long weekend !

According to Sony, it's not officially released in US yet. So where do you guys buying it from? I see it's being sold on Amazon (US) but is that an official Sony US retailer? Others mention eBay and someone mentioned a store in the mall (DC I think?), etc. I understand Amazon merchants could be from UK or in general outside of US, the same with ebay. So, are there any official US stores that sell it? And for those who bought it in US, where you able to contact Sony support (in US) to answer your questions?

Hi guys, if I buy the watch from Amazon.co.uk with metal strap, can I get support from Sony USA under warranty terms? Does Sony have international warranty for their products? Thanks!
newegg all the way. originally ordered from mobile fun, but after they backordered it for two weeks despite them having it listed as in stock and ready to ship, i cancelled and called newegg. the girl said they had about 76 in stock so i ordered it from them. 199 +25 for overnight shipping. ordered it friday and got it on monday.. ive had the watch for about week and i love it, even though the amount of apps is pretty depressing. give me a music widget and a battery percentage icon, and ill be good for a while. :good:

Sony.com has both models in stock now for $199.99/$219.99. I just placed my order. There appears to be a glitch right now that allows you to get the 3 year replacement/accidental damage plan for free! Add the watch to the cart, but do not select a warranty plan. Edit the warranty plan within the card and for some reason the 3-year plan is $0. I used Chrome, if that matters....

MobileFun is bad news. I ordered from them and wasn't even given a confirmation email. Very poor communication and their US phone number just rings. I had to get my credit card company involved to cancel my order. They said it was in stock when I ordered (Oct 15th) and wouldn't give me any further information on shipment or backorder status.
