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'm leaving Sprint for Verizon for the Galaxy Nexus. When I woke up yesterday morning to get ready for work, I jumped online to buy it. I tried to find a low price and saw that AmazonWireless was selling it for $199.99 on a new contract. When I got home from work, I was checking the order and checked the description of the phone and it was now $149.99. I felt a little ripped off. I knew that Amazon had no obligation to give me the difference, but I figured what the hell, I'll call them anyway. The guy on the phone, said since I ordered it on the 15th and the price on the 15th is $149.99, that he'll change it for me and he did. If you ordered yours on Amazon for $199.99, I would suggest calling them to see if you can get it for the lower price. I can't guarantee that they will, but it's worth a shot. $50 is $50.

Welcome to the club man. I too have switched from Sprint and the Epic Touch to the Galaxy Nexus on Verizon. The difference in the device and the verizon service is night and day. I'm really glad I did.
Im returning my Rezound to amazon and exchanging for the nexus, the only part that sucks is that its back ordered . Hey housry23 just curious has yours shipped yet ?

dont let that get to you. Amazon does that to all phones that are in high demand. Mine already shipped. They list as backordered but they ship them out as they recieve them even though the website lists them as backordered.
They are already shipping them. As the demand goes down I bet they start listing it as the phone shipping in 24 hours.
I ordered mine yesterday and it shipped today, even though it said backordered the whole time.

What's up bro! Glad to see some familiar names around here. At first I was a little skeptical about switching to Big Red, but once I learned that they have 4G LTE where I live, I was ready to do it as soon as the Nexus dropped.

Just like someone already said, Amazon always says backordered on new devices. I ordered mine on the 15th, but it hasn't shipped yet. The status did change from "not yet shipped" to "shipping soon" though. It might take a couple days for them to send it, but imo it's worth it to save the money. $300 at Big Red or $150 at Amazon? To me it's a no brainer. They also give you free 2 Day shipping, so once it is shipped, you know you'll have it in 2 days. I'm guessing they are going to ship it today or Monday, which would get it here by Tuesday or Wednesday. Getting excited! I went to the Verizon Corporate store yesterday just to play around with it and walked out with an extended battery. They have them for $25 right now, so run over and get you one. The guy there showed me his with the extended battery and there really isn't much difference in size at all. It's a 2100mah made by Samsung.

Also, just to add, the extended battery that's on sale has NFC built in. Not a bad deal for $25.
Sounds good, they charged my account this morning and from my past orders this means its going to ship today ! I'm getting pretty excited cant wait to have it in my hands. So far for the Nexus i have Zagg on its way and am going to be heading to the store to pick up a extended battery here shortly.
added on a line with this phone on via a different cell store for 155$... not bad.
I decided I couldn't wait so I went to best buy and they price matched amazon.com (still gotta pay tax).
So I'm sitting here and waiting for the process to be done.
Also coming from sprint's nexus s and epic. I'm fed up with its slow 3g and spotty 4g.
Alright so just got home from VZW as i was walking in UPS was dropping some boxes off so i signed in and got called about 5 minutes later, asked about the battery and the guys said your lucky we just got out shipment in because we were all out. $26.93 after taxes and as i was walking out i got a email notification saying my packaged has shipped, got home logged it to get a tracking number and for whatever reason amazon wireless is sending me my sim card first and that's what has shipped. Good thing is that the phone now says shipping soon so hopefully they send out today but i doubt it so its looking like tomorrow or Monday for me.
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?

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.
Just order from Negri, they lower their price+ coupon. Paid $639.50

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?
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?

Anyone know where this one is from? Link
Newegg
Amazon listed as 2-4 weeks and the other companies listed on Amazon are not Authorized Dealers. I checked. So I found it on Newegg. They were in stocked and shipped next day. Love the watch but I wish there were more apps. Where's the weather app and no watch faces.

They're listing it for $999.00 for some reason, but I bought mine for $189.00 USD.

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.
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?

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.
