Best Galaxy nexus Price

Right now handtec.co.uk and clove.co.uk have the phone for $690. The phone was released yesterday on Bell Canada and is $650 off contract. But im not sure those of us in the states have access to that without a Bell Canada account. Has anyone else found it cheaper?
Newegg 12/13: $699
handtec.co.uk and clove.co.uk have the phone for $690

You're going to pay about the same price no matter who you order from. Even from Canada. Your other priority is who and how your warranty will be handled depending on who you buy from. You found the cheapest already so scratch.if you're itching that bad. I paid a premium to order from expansys in the states. I ended up paying $741 USD.

I got it for 549 euro today, which is around 734 USD.

unfortunately my eagerness to play with new tech doesn't mesh well with premium drop prices. this thing will be $600 new in a months time, not sure i can hold out that long

If it is $650 new in Canada chances are it will be that in USA also. Gotta pay if you wanna play now. Waiting though will probably save close to $100 USD.

i ended up finding one on ebay, went for that. might end up selling it, think thats just too much money to have sitting in the phone these things drop basically a $100 a month for the first couple months

523 Euro in Munich!

Advice needed, where should I order my GN from?

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?

Any canadians received their orders yet?

How much duty/taxes did you have to pay?

Someone post a screen shot here where he paid less than 50 dollars.

Wonder why yours was much higher than mine? I did the exact same, from handtec, although mine was the 2-4day shipping option, but i ordered it monday night vancouver, and it arrived this morning.. so essentially overnight lol.

I know.. its so expensive. Where are u located?
I paid the same shipping as you.
When I bought my galaxy nexus from handtec, I also paid roughly the same amount for tax & handling fee.

It's possible the brokerage fee was included for you and not the others. I've had numerous times where Fedex invoiced me a couple weeks later in the mail for the brokerage fee.

I m located Downtown Vancouver, most likely i will have a deferred brokerage fee mailed to me, although on my galaxy note, it was only 16$, although that was from expansys... this might be different. Fedex for the note though as well.

Cheapest place to buy T-Mobile S3 in the U.S.?

Does anyone know the cheapest place to buy an S3 with contract with T-Mobile in the U.S.? The cheapest I've found is Costco at $179.99

Buy it from either Wirefly or Newegg, I bought mine from Newegg and I've had a couple issues with the first two I got and their really good with returns and I got my replacements overnighted to me the next day.

If you can wait until Black Friday all the sales will put everyone against each other.
Last year I got my E4GT for a .01 cent sale through Amazon Wireless.

Wal-Mart. $148 on full renewal. Just bought mine last Friday.
Might have to call around to the area Wal-Marts. Only about half seem to carry T-Mobile contract phones.

Got mine for $179.99 with a MIR for $50 - drops it down to $129.99. It was done over the phone though, but no upgrade fees or anything like that.

Lets Talk - Note 2 for 206.99

Just ordered my Note 2 from LetsTalk.com for 206.99
They have a sale on it for 229.99 until 12/31
Plus I added a coupon code at checkout for 10% off which was another -23.00
For a total of 206.99
The coupon code is: TALK4TEN
Also my upgrade isn't available until 1/1/13, but I was able to have my order placed on hold until then for the same price, just had to chat with a rep.

Amazon Wireless $149.99 with a new 2 year contract. They did had it for $99 last week.

Currently it's on backorder 1-2 weeks with amazon. That price is only for new lines, not upgrades, upgrades is still 199.99. LetsTalk has it in stock. Either way, still a much better price than through sprint.

Also no tax for a lot of states, which is a savings of another $60~ish for most states, as new lines and upgrades tend to charge the tax on the retail price of the device.

It may say backorder but amazon usually ships within 3 to 4 days, on top of that bb will price match online retailers and to me getting it locally is always better. Also I've had good experience with geek squad warranty.

best buy will price match amazon wireless. I got my phone from best buy last week. I had a $100 gift card i wanted to use. They priced matched the upgrade price of 199.99. after the gift card it was about 112 out the door. Cant beat that price for a new note 2.

I was lucky enough to have my bb price match it at 150 and then at 99 and mine was a renewal. I just got lucky they weren't strict about it.

Like its been said before, even with their expected dates being couple weeks they usually ship within couple days. Plenty of people have reported this on several forums. Plus you can always check if your local bb will price match the new price on a renewal something that a lot of bb stores have been matching.
