Hey guys, first I want to thank everyone on these forums for making it possible for me to root 3 devices so far and the awesome roms/kernels shared here. Here is my small contribution!
Best place to order Galaxy Nexus for international users (im Australian) so far is:
handtec [dot] co [dot] uk
It is unlocked, pentaband version (no LTE).
It is a reasonable GBP$419, which translates to EUR$418 or USD$661
Postage by courier internationally is GBP$25.
I've preordered from here, if you find a better offer let me know! (they will reduce the price through pricematching).
Cheers!

Erm, unless you're a company and can claim VAT back, you'll be paying £500 for that phone, not £419...

If you live in EU and you buy a item from another EU country then you will pay VAT.
If you have a company with valid EU VAT number and buy a item from another EU country then you don't pay VAT.
And 419GBP is ~487EUR (not 418).
I wish I could order it, but I know I would end up paying half it's price in taxes anyways.
Handtec have always been great for me - usually quite a bit cheaper thanks Clove as well.

Yep I ordered mine from Handtec within hours of them putting it on the site, can't wait!
And no you don't pay VAT if you're not a UK citizen
i prefer clove co uk
because for extra 20 pound you get Smartphone Pre-Shipping Testing Service
Also
"if your product develops a fault within 14 days from the date of dispatch, we shall cover any return postage fees and rectify the situation to provide you with a fully working product."
Could I order from one of these sites and use it on T-Mobile US? Does this version support the AWS band? Also would I end up paying way too much?

Thanks for the quick reply. I was just looking for a way to get the phone sooner. Because no one really knows when the HSPA+ version will come out in the states. I was guessing not until next year. Hopefully sooner.

Cant wait to get my hands on this one, I've used many Android phones, but this is by far the first phone that I'm actually really really excited about, can't wait
Waiting for it to land as an upgrade on Vodafone. Strangely, vodafone.ie has it listed on their coming soon page, but vodafone.co.uk doesn't... I'm (im)patently waiting...
Refreshing the page doesn't make it arrive quicker either

I will keep my SGS II for some time and decide which one I prefer, then will sell one. Had SGS II for about 2 months and learned that I don't care about camera, 16GB storage is all I need and that I don't really care about gaming.
I'm only worried I might find Nexus to be too big.

Price has now dropped from £740 to £600... still £100 more than I was hoping Amazon would have it for...
though they still have the SGSII for @£425 (excluding marketplace sellers).

Ouch amazon thats way too much for a phone I am personally hoping they will drop the price just before release like the nexus s to a more reasonable level.
Keeping my GSII anyway and might upgrade my contract with Vodafone around Jan to get the Galaxy Nexus as well.
At those prices I'll be waiting until the new year to see if there's much discount.

Do what I did and click Check out.

I was in the same boat. I had the order screen up, staring at the pay button. Finally I just effin pressed Pay now. I sold my GS2 and paid a good chunk more for this phone. It arrived today. It seriously is the most amazing phone I've ever used. I have an iPhone 4 now for work and a GS2 before it for personal. The combo of ICS and this beautiful device just make for an awesome out of box experience. If you really want it, if you keep looking up stuff about it and thinking about it...buy it. You won't regret it.
it doesn't help i've already bought a mhl adapter, 6" rt angle to rt angle 3.5mm cable, screen protector, tpu case for it and an otg cable.
no GSM until February ? Why ffeb? There is not an official release date for the GSM. No one knows if come Monday Google will announce a date.
Youre gonna buy it now for $750 and watch next week its for sale for $550 from Google
Do it.
My GNEX arrived this morning and it's easily the best tech purchase I've made in a long time.

well, canada is unofficially dec. 7. and verizon is unofficially dec. 8. i'm sure verizon has at least a 60 day exclusive on this. i just don't see the u.s. getting any love any sooner because google has failed to give us any details on an unlocked usa version.

I would say your best bet is to at least wait for the release in Canada and then import it from Canada. You'll probably get a better deal that way. The official release date in Canada is Dec.8 and that's just a matter of less than two weeks so I would say wait until then and see if there is any more news on the GSM version in USA, and if not, import it from Canada for a smaller price
EDIT: Actually, either way the unlocked Galaxy Nexus from Bell is $649 without tax so with taxes and duty fees etc. its probably going to amount to the same price. Lol, I guess that was no help after all

Sent from my samsung gt i9250 using powers of the unicorn.
Ok, I'll play devil's advocate for this thread. I happen to be one that really wants this phone as well, however I am going to wait just a little while longer for any rumors that it will be available 'legitimately' in the US for GSM. A few thoughts Im having:
- Warranty. If I were to buy from Negri, Handtec etc, while they most likely would assist in getting my device fixed, it would still take probably 2-6 weeks and 9 months down the road they may not be as helpful to expedite it. Also, they may give you a loaner phone, otherwise you would have to provide that while you're phone is in the shop.
- I have a feeling the US based GSM phones will be $599 for 16gb. While its only $100 less than buying it right now, I figure its worth the small wait.
- While I believe everyone's opinion over this phone, I also wanted to at least see a Verizon version of the device at a Best Buy just to make sure.
I have gone through a lot of android devices lately and hoping to find the right fit for me. Assuming the Nexus is, I hope to own it for at least 18 months. For others, feel free to refute me and maybe I'll be suckered into buying now as well
I'm one of the unlucky Handtec people still waiting on my pre-order and I would still hit the checkout button even with the foreknowledge of this. It's one of the few phones out there where the hardware and software are working together rather than the multitude of phones that are indeed hardware powerhouses but have the OS slapped on seemingly as an afterthought.

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.

My bet is the AT&T version will not be available on launch day at Best Buy. AT&T is shipping online preorders today. A group of us have been waiting for the Sprint version at Best Buy and have recently confirmed that the white version is finally arriving at the stores but they can't sell them until the 11th. Sprint stores started selling them on 10-25. This means Sprint Corporate probably had exclusivity for a couple weeks to sell the phones first and AT&T will probably do the same thing.

Don't shoot yourself in the foot. Cancel NOTHING until you have one in hand, as the average employee, phone rep etc. at Best Buy OR AT&T haven't a clue when they will have or ship anything other than what they hear from the folks around them. You just have to check your options, and be ready to pounce if one turns up, LOL, but canceling orders on spec is a losing game, trust me, I have been there and done that more than once. My frustration is I only have a debit card, and any pre-order I ever place always debits the money for at least a week, and then rills the charge off if it has not delivered or shipped. It ties up my money so I can't hedge my bets with a backup plan. Fortunately i git lucky this go around and have one arriving via Fedex late delivery tomorrow.

I work for best buy mobile so I can counter-confirm your claim. We have a HARD street date for AT&T of 11/9 and sprint is 11/11. That may have been what they were referring to. Or you got a dumb employee that doesn't know how to pull up street dates. And trust me, I know more than my **** when it comes to AT&T releases for this company
I'm in NYC, 5th ave store & Union Square store confirms Sunday the 11th. But for the Sprint version. They already have them. AT&T isnt in stock yet and should arrive towards the end of the month (or 2 weeks).
so just got word that my best buy will be receiving a couple white note 2

My frustration is I only have a debit card, and any pre-order I ever place always debits the money for at least a week, and then rills the charge off if it has not delivered or shipped. It ties up my money so I can't hedge my bets with a backup plan. Fortunately i git lucky this go around and have one arriving via Fedex late delivery tomorrow.

Don't worry, I will be cancelling only after I get one from AT&T. Then I will get my gift card refunded.

I work for best buy mobile so I can counter-confirm your claim. We have a HARD street date for AT&T of 11/9 and sprint is 11/11. That may have been what they were referring to. Or you got a dumb employee that doesn't know how to pull up street dates. And trust me, I know more than my **** when it comes to AT&T releases for this company

Did you have the Note 2's in store as of today or are you expecting them to arrive in a truck early tomorrow?
When I called the best buy mobile number from their website, the rep claimed that they should have them in stores tomorrow according to their system. So hopefully that is the case...
