Hi All,
Finally gonna leave my hermes for a new machine.
What quotes have you guys been finding online or at shops for the Rhodium?
Online, I saw a US site pre ordering at $749.99 and a UK site preorder at £517.95
http://www.inkino.co.uk/zen/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2753
Also http://www.expansys.com/ is quoting the t-diamond 2 for £411, so maybe its going to be just below £500?
hopefully the recession will help htc to price it lower
no one wanna play guesstimate?
ok att version $500 when it comes out and then $300 with several discounts and contract ****. wait wait $499.99 and $299.99 us loves to think that makes it less LOL

I second that one. But I must know. What's a verzzzion?
Here's my 2 pence worth
I have been searching and from a UK perspective mobile phones direct have the Pro2 and Diamond2 listed for pre-order.
Their picture of the phone has a free label in the corner.
Judging from what I have seen I am hoping the pricing will be very similar to the HD. If it is then I am going to be as happy as a pig in s***. As soon as the Pro2 is released i'm having one (it also ties in quite nicely to when my contract is up also )

High-end phones seem to be more expensive at the moment with the N97 on Play at a SIM free price of £600.
$299 for Rhodium
$199 for Diamond2
After rebates with 2year contract
When it comes to Sprint in Q3 of this year!
Since the Fuze for ATT was around $350 on release im guessing about the same for the Fuze 2 or TP2 w.e you wanna say lol

Where did u find this info?
I have had my HD for about 2 months and will sell it right now and keep my old Kaiser until this phone comes out. Maybe get it from the UK in May when it is due to drop over there.
I think price will be similar to HD when was launched (Hope is less!!)
Price, well it's bad thing. More than 500 euro, less than 750 euro e.g 600-650 euro unlocked, without contract, nobrand....
I read your post quick, the 500 and 300 but then wait wait 499.99 and 299.99 I dunno what it is but it seems..cheaper, its a mental thing or something...LOL..after looking at it I was like its a 1cent difference but mentally that 299.99 seems cheaper than 300, man they have programmed us stores do it too alot of crap is 19.99 never $20

i'm hoping $299.00 with a 2yr. contract existing customer. it will probably be more like $399.00 though

I gues it will be free in Holland with a 2 year 40 euro a month contract by T-Mobile and will come down to a 30/35 euro a month contract in a few months.
It is already showing at expansys.co.uk for £524 estimated to be in on the 5th of june

I'm plannin on gettin it with Vodafone.
1 year contract. 27.50 a month + Data-plan = 37.50 a month, and the first 6 months 20% discount so that would be:
First 6 months 32 euro a month, and last 6 six months 37.50 a month.
And then I need to pay something like 295 euro for the TP2
Do you guys think $460 USD for a new one is a good deal for it? Thanks!
I can tell you that mine with a contract from T-Mobile was $396 taxes and shipping. I simply renewed with a new 2 year contract to get that price. Still not happy with the cost, but it was still cheaper than getting one with a German QWERTZ keyboard ( since I live in Germany and have T-Mobile in the US, too).
Oh... Hmmm, well, I'm getting it from T-mobile too, except without a contract. I think without contract should make up for it, no? Since I'm on prepaid.
wow, that much WITH a 2 year contract? i got mine for free with an 18 month one

If it´s unlocked and with no contract price is ok I think.
If you have the link where I can get it one for that price please post it here!
Sorry no link. I'm using craigslist.
Not a bad deal at all. I paid $540 shipped overnight for mine unlocked. Wasn't brand new but it basically was. Hardly used, 10/10 condition, box and all accessories. I wish I couldve paid just $460 haha ... hell, if you don't like it, you can always resell it for $100+ more than what you paid.

Do a quick search of the forum. I just ordered mine today for $149 ... No activation, free shipping...
Paying more than $150 isn't a good deal...
I´m sure prices will drop waiting all this fever of getting it first!
So if there is no rush for having it, waiting always is better.
Damm, I can´t wait to have one

i can confirm shadixs experience cuz I paid around that much too. but in our cases, it's price after tax and includes after-sales warranty. we can buy through ebay, or imports, but no after-sales...
you paid 655, is it included warranty... sir?

May I ask where you purchased one for £350? I'm in the market for one once I've sold my HTC Hero tomorrow.
I know BB and Futureshop are taking pre-orders today, but so are Bell and Virgin. So I decided to call in and pre-order since it wouldn't let me pre-order with no-term.
Well it turns out I was eligible for some data-discount. I expected to pay the full $649, but am only paying $235! Pre-ordered, shipped to my house. Lovely! Now, I wait.
I see where Bell and Virgin Mobile are selling the GN off contract at $650.00 Canadian (approx $628.00 US, using yahoo currency conversion) for shipping around Dec 7. I could not find the GN on the other 2 sources that you mentioned.
Depending what happens here in the US in the near future, this may be an option for me, instead of ordering from Europe.

I upgraded to a Moto Atrix the day of their release and I've been sitting since this. So I'd say I've got atleast 30 months left on my contract. She said something about giving me a discount based on my Data plan (I have 6gb for $30).

originally 1800 667 0123! I went through some menu stuff.
And yes, BB and Futureshop are both taking pre-orders with $50 down, but Bell is doing it free of charge, and the amount goes on your next bill.
I just called and i would have to pay full price, i'll keep my pre order with handtec i guess.
I just talked to Bell. The GN is 159.99 on a 3 year.
So could American's pre-order from one of the Canadian carriers/retailers and use the phone on ATT/T-Mobile? The Canadian version is the same GSM/HSPA version as in the UK, correct?

This what I am considering. I am on Tmobile in the US who will likely not sell this phone, so this seems like a good option for me. I am going to wait until we get closer to Dec 8 before making a decision. A lot could happen here in the US by then.
I went to my local Bell store today on my lunch break with the intention of dumping Rogers to become a Bell customer and pre-order the Nexus. Well, they didn't even realize it was officially up for pre-order today. They said I could go online and enter my email address to get notified for more info (which is what the Bell site had until today).
Then they said they could write down my name and call me if they got some in stock. I said I was hoping to actually sign up with Bell and reserve a phone, but they wouldn't even sell me a SIM card without a contract and come back for the phone later. I was completely willing to become a Bell customer, but they didn't seem interested.
I should note that we deal with this Bell store at my work and they are not known for being too bright, so I honestly wasn't expecting much. One of them was a kid who seemed to think he was in charge, and the other was a woman who was indifferent and apathetic to the point of frustration. I'll call or go to a better store, but I thought I'd share this ridiculous experience

I think Bell might be the GSM one as well, as per http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_Mobility
But then again it's Wiki, I don't have any knowledge on Canadian carriers.
Rogers is also going to get it, not sure if that one is going to be GSM as well. People in those networks, can anyone answer please?

The only model Canada will be getting is the GSM/HSPA+ model.
The only other Galaxy Nexus model is the Verizon-specific one. Verizon gets that one and everyone else in the world (including Canada, all carriers) gets the petaband GSM/HSPA+ one.
Anyone know if Bell or Virgin are letting people pre-order on Pay as you Go plans?
So who is selling this unlocked? I want to pre-order an unlocked version today. Looks like Bell is only letting you go with a 3 year contract. Virgin /w contract too.
Futureshop: "The Galaxy Nexus is available at launch through all Future Shop stores on the Bell and Virgin networks." What does this mean?

There are options on both the Bell and Virgin Mobile web sites that show the Galaxy Nexus for about $650.00 (Canadian) off contract. They also show options to pre order.

I guess I'm not seeing it... on both. I'm in BC. Does this option not exist. Just spent a good 5 minutes on each site trying to figure this out, but still don't see an option for an unlocked version.
EDIT: Just got off with Bell support and said they are *NOT* selling an unlocked version of the Galaxy Nexus.

Yes... many unlock companies out there. Unlocked my Lumia 710 with no issue. However, point taken... it may be a couple weeks before unlocking is possble and at a reasonable price. I paid $7 to unlock the Lumia 710 but yet a Samsung C414 clamshell phone cost $30 to unlock. Go figure.. the cheaper phone was way more expensive to unlock.
I would still like a Nokia Lumia 900 in Cyan whether it be an AT&T phone or Rogers. Looks like the Cyan is only in the USA.
It sucks that I cant preorder the phone because I want no commitment. What difference does it make
Will the Cyan be in stores for demo before preorder ends? I'm interested in the Cyan but every pic on the web looks like a different color. I'd like to see it in person before I commit.

I had not seen the multiple shades of blue until yesterday, when they showed in the new set of pics on the Nokia site. I agree, I'd like to see the offering in person. I heard that some stores have both on demo, but most only black.
Anyone know what the deal is if you are 1 year in, into a 2 year contract, and want the Lumia 900?

The only logical answer would be they let you upgrade early. Four months after I got my Samsung Focus on the original launch day 11/8/10 I was offered early upgrade to iPhone. I would think that they will let you upgrade early for their flagship device.
Also, I read some where else, (Can't find atm) that an At$t rep told someone there would be early upgrades for the Nokia Lumia 900.

I was checking att.com last night after midnight and noticed the "maintenance" message and assumed they were adding the content to handle pre-orders. But its still not available on the site yet. Might have to drop in on my local store and see whats up. That will also give me another opportunity to see the sales reps Lumia 900 ;-)
yeah.. I think I'll have to swing by ATT again this morning and drop a pre-order down on this thing.. Cyan lumia 900, here I come.
AT$T manager told me preorders are in store only.

AT&T stores *WILL NOT* sell them off-contract for some initial period. I believe it's 90 days. I tried to buy a white one off-contract at 2 separate AT&T stores and was refused with that explanation. I called several others and was told the same thing.
You can, however, buy them off-contract at a Microsoft Store. Price is the same as what AT&T would charge: $449.

That's not entirely accurate, ATT&T stores does not want you to get a new Lumia without a contract but if you specify at the store that you want a "no commitment phone" they will sell it to you at $449.99 dlls. They will try to convince you to get a contract but they will sell it off-contract at the end.
How do I know?, I got mine last week and I do not have an AT&T contract.
Also if you want to get it online (this is for the people that can't go to the AT&T stores" you can get it at Amazon Wireless site for $499.99 dlls, just remember to select the "Replacement Phone" option.
Now... this is the bad part, there are no unlock codes yet for the AT&T Lumia 900... as of today of course.
Hope it helps.

this is not true. They can and do sell no contract, right now. I've seen at least 2 phones sold that way. Now, I understand each store may have discretion on how they sell the phones. But it's not written in stone.
Once they have an ample supply, they will sell the phone to anybody. For now, reserved for contract deals. More $$$ for the sales rep. Makes sense.

I bought mine off contract on launch day. I just told them that customer care said it would be fine if I bought it off contract. The sales guy checked with the manager and they sold it to me.
I bought mine from a Rogers store as well. Off contract in the first week they had them (2weeks ago). Cost was $525 + tax.
I bought mine from the local AT&T corporate store at the no contract price of $449 two weeks back without any problem. The stores are giving $100 worth of accessories free but only if you buy it on contract.

+1 to this. I bought it off a Rogers authorized dealer. Walked into the store, said I wanted to buy the 900 outright. $525 + tax and 10 minutes later, I had the phone in my hands. This was about 2 weeks after launch, at most.
I was buying a white one. No AT&T store in my area would sell one no-commitment.
