Newegg has the Unlocked GSM Galaxy nexus for $699, brand new:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...tion&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-cables-_-na-_-na
You can get 2.6% cashback from ebates.com
Then you can get whatever cashback from the credit card you use (for me, its 1.25% from american express, who also doubles the mfg warranty for a year)
If you bought the Google offers for Newegg, itd be another $40 off ($20 for $40 off newegg)
Newegg also has $10 off $50 "new" customers:
http://promotions.newegg.com/nepro/newcustomer050611/index.html
So, for me:
$699 - $40 coupon - $10 promo code = $650 - 2.6% ($17) - 1.25% ($8) = $625 + $20 for the cost of the $40 coupon = $645, cheapest I've seen for a brand new Galaxy Nexus with free 2-day shipping from shoprunner, free regular ground shipping if you dont have shoprunner.
Wow, that is a good find. It is too bad they did not have it last week when i ordered my phone somewhere else.

Bought it 12/02/2011... got it refunded to 699.99 so I couldnt use coupons to get it lower i still will use charlie's saying "WINNING!"
Is the phone worth getting at $650 or are we better off waiting 1 month and getting it for $600.

seriously though, who'd want to dish out that much just for 16GB?...
unless you have a serious hard on for Samsung or unlimited data & all your media is in "the cloud" you'd be insane to spend that kind of money.
of course, this is coming from the guy who spent $800 on a comic book(Incredible Hulk #181)

I'm waiting until it drops down to 550.00. Right now you are paying a premium to be one of the first to have the phone.

I really want to try out the nexus but its hard for me to give up my motorola atrix 2 since I paid pretty much $340 for it brand new and thats including brand new HD dock, car dock, battery dock, 6 extra batteries, atrix 1 laptop dock, motorola extended battery.
So for over half the cost of the nexus, I bought a fully loaded motorola atrix 2 with all the trimmings.

Well, I personally dislike Samsung and AMOLED, but almost every review out there deems this the best Android phone, if not, the best smartphone out.
I do have unlimited data and all my music is on Google Music, so any space on the phone will be for movies or game downloads.
650 isnt bad, i couldnt wait so i ended up ordering it on ebay for 730, too bad it wasnt in stock at new egg at the time.
also, don't forget that this phone will not have any manufacturer warranty, unlike if you bought it from expansys or negri. I rather have the peace of mind, that's why I bought it from expansys.

where did you get this information?
Newegg has now soldout. That was fast right?
If you use bigcrumbs.com to shop newegg it says you can get up to 4.8% cashback. But if you go to terms it says 4.8% cashback apply for marketplace items only. Is galaxy nexus under the marketplace category?
Too bad, already got mine from handtec and got it today, $690. I wonder which build they are selling.

ok so i ready to jump from sprint to verizon for the first time after 5 years with sprint, cant take there slow speed around my town anymore,
anyways whats the best price match i can do in whatever store with the lowest price, been searching online etc and only see walmart being the lowest, 249,
but does price match can be used with an online price or i have to bring a catalog with me never done this before?
please help i got a budget for 250 for my christmas gift and this is it , lol
play with one and its sick as phone and verizon speeds aaround here is fasssttt...
cant do the amazon price or letstalk its to backorder lol.
I bought mine at Best Buy, they did price match Radio Shack's $239 online price. The only reason I bought at Best Buy was I had $100 gift card.
I got mine at verizonwireless.com for 250, but i think although I did an early upgrade i still got a instant discount of 50.00.
Does Amazon still have the $150 for new accounts?
Cause that's where you should go.
Got mine from fry's electronics for $150. I had them price match amazon.
Best buy matched amazon's price $150 but still had to pay full price tax (about $50)

you lucked out there. normally if a BB manager is around they'll say "we only match stores prices. not online"...
if that ever happens you just say 'thank you' and either go to another BB or try again when said manager isn't around.

As the tittle says, Google Play Store is now officially selling accessories!! Head over and spend your money.
Official desk dock with pogo pins for $54!!!!!!!!!!! Yes!
"Note: This accessory will only work with the HSPA+ version of the Galaxy Nexus (as sold on the Google Play store)."
Hopefully it fits with the extended battery/cover too.

I'm in Southern California.. ouch $10.50 2 day shipping and $4.18 tax.

yep, i'm gonna get a cardock as well
$10 shipping? Yikes. (yes I realize it's 2-day, but that's still high, IMO)
So, your $54 dock becomes $70 in a few clicks. Makes sense.
Sucks it won't fit the CDMA version

of yea i already have a 3rd party car dock but im tempted to get this one im getting the desktop for sure
The comments at Droid-Life are saying that people over here are saying that these desk docks will accommodate the Verizon/LTE model, but I've seen nothing of the sort over here. Does anyone know?

Official Galaxy Nexus Car Dock with TRUE 3-pin functionality!
Check there.
Anyone know why the link won't open on my phone's Play Store app? I could buy from a PC or use the browser on my phone... but that'd just be silly... lol.

Glad to see Google is finally starting to offer more accessory support for the GSM Nexus, hopefully they'll add the batteries and covers as well.
expansys 64 total after Illinois tax and free shipping, Play store 69 with Il tax and $10 2-day shipping. I like that Google isn't orphaning the device but I wish they'd give us more options shipping-wise, I'm willing to wait a week or more if I can avoid getting hit with a double digit shipping charge.
has anyone seen the pogo pin version sold by any seller on amazon? I have a bunch of amazon gift cards I want to dump

Because you can't buy hardware through the app, as you need to select a shipping address and the app is only set up for intangible goods. You have to go to the website to purchase hardware items.

which one did you see?
Only shows up if you search for product #

Makes perfect logical sense. I figured they filtered it as I'm CDMA and they only have official accessories for GSM. Never thought about shipping info.

Sprint and Verizon carry CDMA version of the Nexus. CDMA/LTE Nexus are thicker than GSM/HSPA+. Accessories are not compatible.
Now that the Nexus 4 is out, it looks like Google is no longer selling the Galaxy Nexus pogo dock. Does anyone know where I should look without being charged an arm and a leg?

eBay, search the topic and you will find pages of discussions and attempts to find the docks from google and/or Samsung
Yeah haha ^
You will be charged an arm and a leg, though. And Verizon ones tend to be more expensive. The docks originally cost $90 new, and now people can sell theirs and make at least that, auctions on eBay can take it up to $120+ and they only pop up every few days.
Best bet is to pounce on a buy it now as soon as possible, then you'd only have to pay $80 or so. Just make sure it's the Verizon dock if you have the VZW GalNex and vice versa.

I am looking to get one too. I don't want to buy the one of ebay. Anyone willing to part with their GSM pogo dock if they aren't using it? I'll offer $40. Or any tips on where I can get a used one in working condition? Amazon doesn't have any, Play obviously doesn't have them on sale anymore. Found a few with bundles on swappa, but seller wouldn't sell it separately. Ebay as mentioned above is shipping from UK and it comes out to like $90 with shipping.

If you want one be ready to put up $90. I got lucky and found a new one for $85ish shipping from Japan
PM me if anyone is interested in getting a brand new one.
For GSM version only.

And that's where I got mine ^ recommend him highly!
I'm embarrassed at what I paid for mine, and that was a used one on ebay plus I had to modify it for the toro. I needed it though I've been using a dock on my phones every night for the past few years and wasn't about to give that up. Trust me, these things are damn near extinct and the people who have them know that.
MonoPrice has a nice adaptor for the Galaxy Nexus. I can't post links yet (under 10 posts), but it's product ID 9291
I was thinking about making a dock that uses the internals from that part.
I saw a Verizon Pogo dock going for $180 on eBay the other day... Ugh I hate price gougers...

It's on Amazon Wireless for $99 on Sprint and Verizon. Would Best Buy price match that for an AT&T Note 2? Anyone have any experience? Thanks.
Probably not, usually they only match stores that have a physical location in the area. So no online retailers.

it never hurts to try... iI would suggest you go there, ask politely, then if denied, argue politely. All in all, the money isn't made by the phone but on the contract, the service plan, and the accessories they attach at the point of sale.
Yes they price match amazon. I bought my note 2 at bestbuy when amazon had it for $174
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda premium
Yep, they sure do! Just got my note 2 Friday from a price match online. They'll do both, I specifically asked in store when I was there (in store or online)
For the "yes they will", are you people confirming that best buy will price match Sprint and Verizon prices for Att's note 2?

I got mine for $99 on Saturday from Best Buy as an upgrade on my AT&T account.
I had to show proof that AT&T would price match Amazon's Verizon price before they would do it.
I used someone else's receipt posted on another site.
If they give you trouble, let me know and I will post a copy of my receipt where my local Best Buy price matched.
Would you mind posting the receipt? Thanks
Yes they will. Done it for a bunch of items off amazon

All you have to do is go to Best Buy's price matching terms & conditions. Read it. They routinely change it & have for sometime been testing different on-line retailers in different regions for price match as well. Tiger Direct, Newegg & several others are listed. I am not sure about Amazon Wireless, but Amazon very well could be one of the online retailers they do officially price match.
I showed them an add on my device, they looked it up themselves to confirm & bam...Proce match - my rewards cert.

I work for Best Buy Mobile and we pricematch Amazon Wireless all the time. Thing is the $99 is for a Sprint NEW customer not a Upgrade the Upgrade price is $199.99. If they pricematch $99.99 for an upgrade they aren't doing their job lol.

They are doing it right...the price match is against AT&T, not Sprint.
AT&T's online store is price matching Amazon, and in turn we are getting Best Buy to price match AT&T.

This means zero. Trust me they're doing it wrong, am I doubting some random store did it for you? No, but I'm telling you they price matched the New 2 Year agreement price and will get hit for it in some way or another. Not to mention it was a different carrier. Pricing and agreements are different with all carriers especially Verizon, we have to get special permission to even put things on sale with certain carriers because like 100% of the time were cheaper than the carrier stores. AT&T can price match whatever they want they're AT&T they can do whatever they want because they're the ones that make the rules lol.
