eBay Daily Deals Has The Unlocked GSM Galaxy Nexus For $370 Shipped

I hope this is the right section to post this. eBay is by offering the GSM unlocked Samsung Galaxy Nexus for just $370. Not sure of this but it seems like if you live in California, you won't even have to pay sales tax - making this an even better deal than Google's $400 (which totals out at $440 with tax and shipping for CA). Probably won't last long so hop on it as quick as you can if you're in the market for a GNex.
eBay

I saw that. I'm wondering what build it comes with and I highly doubt it'll be with a USA warranty.

I read through all the descriptions and some of the reviews I didn't see anything about Wallet coming pre-installed on it so perhaps it's Yakju?

It could be any build. You're really taking a chance on what build it has by buying one not direct from Google.

I thought 400 was a good deal but 370 is even better.

It says in the bottom of description it is a international version. Better to go with Google play IMHO. I got mine without tax so it was a good deal.

I'd rather save $70 ($440 on Google Play Store after taxes) and go international if it ends up being the same phone in the end after rooting & what not. It says that they will add a US charger in the descriptions as well.
What will be different about the international version besides the default language & the power adapter? Also, why is it important what version of ICS it's shipped with if there are OTA updates & custom ROMs?
Sorry for all the questions, I just want to be sure about everything before making the purchase.
THANK YOU!

Only differences I can think of is that the international version doesn't come with U.S. warranty. There's also the likelihood that the US GSM variants (Takju) may get the JB update first followed by rest of the world. Of course, that's just speculation.

The most important difference is that you're up **** creek when it comes to the warranty. If you have any problems with your phone Samsung USA will do nothing to help you. You'll have to struggle to communicate with whichever country's Samsung branch handles your phone, and supposing you convince them to service your device, you'll have to pay costly international shipping and experience the extra long wait times that that entails. One guy was on here earlier talking about his struggle to navigate Samsung Poland's automated customer service line.
This is a phone with what's getting to be notoriously hit-or-miss build quality. To me it was worth paying the extra 40-70 just to have that insurance.

And it's likely the international device won't be "yakju" out of the box. So you'll have to flash it to Yakju or Takju manually yourself.

Doesn't matter if you just flash the phone to yakju/takju yourself. It only matters what software you've currently flashed, not what it came with out of the box.

I dont know if i trust the seller which is dailysteals.com i have tried buying stuff from them but all i got was problems

So I just bought this. Does anyone have a link to instructions or a guide to flash the takju build before I set up everything on the phone. Thanks!

Just bought this as well..this is all confusing with the builds....do I understand it correctly that I can use the GNEX toolbox to unlock bootloader, install cwm and then flash the better takju or whatever it is build? Could I then have google wallet?

Damn this phone is getting pretty cheap. I might pick up another one soon as a backup/secondary if the price is getting this low.

Note II in Costco??

When the Note I came out Costco sold it for regular price with Flip Case and two Screen protectors. Does anyone know or have gotten the Note II
at Costco? If so does it come with same accessories? Haven't had a chance to make it down there to ask them.

I was told they are getting it near launch date. They already sent back original Note inventory. Accessories unknown but usually lame except for one OEM they include.

AT&T at Costco....
I was at Costco before as well, and noticed that the Kios/stand didn't have the AT&T phones anymore. I asked what happened, and they said they are no longer doing AT&T phone in the store, but will still do it online... I'm not sure if it's all Costco, or just in my region(Northwest)....
I asked about the Note 2 as well, and they were only able to answer for the carriers that had in the store..
I have not seen it online(haven't checked yet today) on the Costco site... so, just ended up pre-ordering from AT&T...

I work there...we still sell at&t phones and service through the with wireless advocates kiosk. I have no clue what the accessory bundle is going to be, but I'm pretty sure its going to be 279.99 or 289.99...we don't sell phones outright. Only new, upgrades, and add a line.

So, at least it's not all of Costco Kios that AT&T is pulling out of.. was hoping that they were still at the one in my area... as I liked getting the accessories as a bonus..
Do you know when it will go live online for order? I know when I ordered the SGSIII, I was able to pre-order it online.

I do know its only going to be for home delivery as of now. You'll be able to go online yourself or go to a kiosk and the employees there will order it for you. Kind of sucks, I understand why (note is still considered a niche category phone).

Unfortunatly, the person at that time stated that they couldn't order any AT&T phone at the Kios, and it has to be done only online, as they got rid of the AT&T display..
So, not sure what the story is.. haha... either way, I'm good with the online order from AT&T direct...

Thank you everyone for your input. I will be purchasing my phones from Costco from now on.

Depending on the type of account you have, they will honor the 14 or 30 day return. After that, 90 days for device swap for same device. Just an FYI for you. As long as you're not one to abuse this policy, they will help you anyway they can.
Only downside is they hardly ever have pre-orders. I've only seen the one s for tmo.

SamsungUpgrade.com (Clover Wireless) a Fraud

Beware; I received an upgrade offer of $375 for my Note 1. It was a new phone. After sending it, I inquired the status and they said they'll give me $145 for it. It's a scam. I'm contacting the Michigan attorney general's office.

I was looking into that you might have picked the wrong Galaxy Note since they have like 4 or 5 you pick from in there some are worth more money than the others I've tried all of them and the one I really had was the ATT i717 galaxy note was only work $145-$150

Well that sucks, I'm glad I'm a procrastinator... I had planned to mail my note off to them last week. I guess I'll have to try my luck with ebay then.

First, what accounts for the price differential between the $375 option and $145? Second, that's their misrepresentation and liability for incorrectly providing consumers with incorrect options.

The previous poster was speculating that you might have mistakenly specified the wrong version of your phone when you obtained your quote. If so, the error would be yours, not theirs.

Tbh I'm pretty sure that's how all those sites work. They'll find anything to knock the price down. Was never interested in them for that reason. You'll have much better luck with Craigs or fleabay

Another thing to note, on their front page they say:
"Upgrade to a new Samsung smartphone and get a Visa® prepaid card up to $300 for your old phone."
But when you get a quote for a Samsung Galaxy Note 1 they are willing to give you $375.
Odd.

Yesterday, I was told the LTE option was the one they used. They asked if I was willing to take $125 for my phone. The day before, I was given a price of $145, which someone previously mentioned was the I717 option. It appears any option can be correct.

[Q] What's in the box?

So I know that the AT&T variant of the note 4 will ship with fast charger, phone, battery, instructions, and spen. Does anyone know if it will include the Samsung earbuds or the replacement tips for spen?

Well, according to AT&Ts website, whats in the box doesnt include the earbuds.

I actually asked a rep via online chat about this and she said NO, what is listed on the site as "in the box" is all that is included. I was wondering the same thing because AT&T costs a little more than some of the other carriers. She cited reason as AT&T phones are slightly different and can work outside the U.S or something??? Don't know if I believe that, but thats what she said.

Here is what is in the box.

at&t probably took all the earbuds that came with the phones, and are putting them in separate packaging to resell later in their stores.

yes cause my box was opened before it got to me
so they are taking the earbuds out to sale them to others which sucks

I seriously doubt it...

I just received my new, unopened Note4. Includes sPen spare tips with a tip-puller tool. No earbuds - I doubt AT&T is pulling these out of the box. Just use your favorites. No disappointment, here.

Samsung blocking imei's by what method?

If the rumor is true and Samsung is truly going to block imei's after September 30th of phones not replaced under the recall how would they go about doing this? I would assume by silent OTA. Would running twrp and custom ROM be able to stop this from happening? Before anyone assumes I'm not replacing device by choice this is not true. My eBay seller is unwilling to exchange my device and Samsung is unwilling to help since it was bought on eBay and device is international and I'm in the usa. So I'm in a bad spot and refuse to have a$900 paper weight. I'm looking into other options with eBay on somehow getting my money back but it looks to be a long shot.

How did you pay? With PayPal? Cause in pretty sure they can get the refund done with their return policy for customers if you go through them.

I don't think it involves an ota, the block list is sent to the carriers. I think it was intended for stolen phones.
Working with eBay is your best bet, from the sounds of it. Best of luck.
Sent from my SM-N930T using Tapatalk

IMEIs can be blocked through networks not by OTA or software, it's literally a block from using any mobile network by the network worldwide.

Yes I did use PayPal and a credit card that is setup through them. I am within the 30 day return window. I did read that the return is only valid through a defective product or item received not as described. I would consider the recall a defect but we willing have to see if they agree. What is the likelihood they would send all these imei's blocks to every carrier in the usa on an international phone? I would that would be highly unlikely. I would say the usa versions imei's I could see being blocked but an international devices imei? What do you think?
I reread a post that it would be worldwide block through all carriers. I can't hardly believe they can do this on a product you bought that they won't replace because Of where you bought it. This is becoming a real pita

rumors are rumors.....unless samsung release a statement stating that they are going to ban the IMEI everything is smoke and daggers.........exchange can always be done at the sammy regional store/office where they device was first purchased (in this case...where ebay seller got the phones from initially)
while the F version is called the "international" version....each region has their own variation of the F model......
buying from ebay is like buying your neighbor's car......once purchase in good faith......your neighbour is not responsible for any maintenance thereafter.....

IMEIs are blocked worldwide when they are blocked. It's a worldwide system for stopping device usage after phone theft.

Omg I don't want a $1200 CAD paperweight..

I think a lot of the ebay seller, ebay themselves, and PayPal issues and problems regarding refunds and exchanges. Is mainly due to the fact that the recalls were new and no one really had any idea of how to go about it and were just pushing blame.
If you wait a little bit for the smoke to Settle and there is a little more clarity on what is going on, in regards to the recalls and procedures.
Maybe some of these entities may reverse or take a different stand on their earlier decisions if you revisit them, after they get a better understanding of what is going on and how their earlier decision just left their consumers. Screwed. Especially ebay and PayPal who are suppose to protect the consumers with buyers protection.

recalls work different way.....since the device it not defective......so i don't think its a matter of pushing blame.......
buyer protection is only useful when you haven't got the item or it isn't what is described.........the devices wasn't defective when you received it......it was in working order.......at this point....its mostly out of ebay's hands since it came as advertised......
paypal will probably look at it....and say.....the transaction was made in good faith between you and the seller......(because the product came as advertised...recall does not fall into "defective" categories).........
the ebay seller depending on who it is....may help you with the exchange.....each seller can have their own terms and condition though.......i checked a couple of listing....and most of them say that you have a 12 month manufacturing warranty.....(i think the key word is manufacture....which means its samsung).......so its more like if the seller is willing to help....but most likely you will have to deal with samsung yourself......

It will be a good move though... Considering many airlines are banning it on flight, hopefully this will encourage them to lift the ban...

My seller (never-msrp) is just giving me the run around. I keep messaging him/her/them but their telling me their still waiting on what Samsung is going to do and or tell them how to act when being asked about returns.
I don't want to return my device. My device works beautifully. But now this $hit Samsung might deactivate non exchanged possibly dangerous phones has got me worried and Ihave no idea what to do...

Yes will do for sure. Well it seems like never-msrp isn't going to be of any help here as they keep giving me the same answers to my many different questions, so it seems like I'll be contacting Samsung Vietnam tomorrow to see what I can do.
P.S.
Never-msrp keeps telling me that Vietnam models are not affected, I wonder if it's true?

The Aussie supplied phones are made in Vietnam and are all being recalled.. Dunno if they are different to the Vietnamese market models though hardware wise.

Samsung is not blocking affected phones:

Who would have thought that a random reddit post was not true.
