[Q] Where can I get Galaxy Nexus in Singapore

I'm from Myanmar.
My friend's there in Singapore.
I'm so keen to have Galaxy Nexus now... though I know it's not officially available in Singapore now.
Would you pls tell me where can I get one in Singapore...?
Please...

I'm from Thailand.
You cannot get the phone anywhere in Southeast Asia yet. Gotta order one from Europe.

closest I can imagine is in Hong Kong grey market. otherwise have to order it online. I would try expansys USA. Best deal so far, and cheap fedex fees. Not sure about the tax you would have to pay though.

If I'm not mistaken, they will sell it in Singapore in January 2012.

You can always order it online form the UK. 2 site below deliver and the rates are very reasonable.

Hi, what about warranty? It won't be international right? Only warranty from place of purchase?

South Korea released the galaxy nexus about a week ago. The SIM is indeed unlocked and works in Singapore with Singtel (haven't tried M1 or Starhub). Be warned though the baseband is not the XXXK1 but a custom M420S...something. Only way to change it is through rooting, means unlocking the bootloader and thus voiding warranty.

Yes I think so but I'm not too sure. You should call and ask them or just drop in an email

[Q] Expanxys galaxy nexus

Is the galaxy nexus sold by expanxys USA the one supported by google(the yakyu one)?

Yes it is...just received mine today!

Be specific: USA Verizon, or USA everyone else...?

It is. I ordered mine from them but called first, and they said they specifically order ones that are supposed to be yakju. I've heard of a couple of people getting non-yakju versions, but expansys seems pretty anal about this not happening.
They're great to work, very happy with my purchase experience

Thx for the answers, i gonna order one for $609, i guess when the gsm version get to the USA it wont be less than 529 ( nexus s cost) so, i can take $80 dollars loss but i wont be waiting anymore

Cheapest Price You've Seen for a GSM Galaxy Nexus (New or Used)

I'm looking to buy a Galaxy Nexus GSM and was wondering if anyone found any for a really cheap price (around $550 or below). Thanks.

Keep an eye out for coupons. They've killed most of em but I bought my CAN model and got a $30 off coupon. $565.50 shipped was an amazing price.

$450, BNIB from Craigslist

You'd be fortunate to find it for under $600. If you do, jump on it. It will be expensive for a long time, or at least until a GSM carrier offers if on contract in the US. Then it will fall.

Craigslist is your friend. $500 new in Box.

Your point? I purchased the one that is for $622 and it came as yakjuxw and not 'yakju.' None of this matters, it can be changed in <5 minutes.
Just silly how they offer both versions with one of them being the higher price.

Of course it doesn't matter. I bought the canadian and flashed it to yakju in 5 minutes too...
I'm saying this is why theyre differentiating between the two. Their indication is the more expensive one has a higher chance to be yakju (theyre sourcing them from the UK often, but Latin America recently). The Canadian one has a * in the description saying its on 4.0.1 and not updated by Google (or something to that effect).
The real reason why they're selling them a tad cheaper is probably because the CAN versions come with a US-standard charger and they don't have to include one (they have to open and replace chargers in the other ones). And they probably got a big batch buy and got to offer a lower price because of it.
POINT BEING that people should just buy the cheaper CAN version if they are available.

And if the person gets the more expensive one and it ends up not being 'yakju' what happens there? because what you just said is that it has a higher chance of being 'yakju' but mines came as 'yakjuxw.'
Honestly, if someone was to buy the Galaxy Nexus from Negri it'd be a no brainer to get the $595 one. Negri should just get rid of the $622 one and have them both at the same price. Makes no sense, logically speaking.

Yes it clearly doesn't matter. They're not making a guarantee, but rather a disclosure on the CAN version that they know it won't be yakju.

I doubt majority of users will even know the difference of 'yakju' and non-yakju variants. But back to the topic because that's a silly argument
Get it from Negri they will honor a one-year warranty on your device whereas other places may not. I know Expansys honors warranties. These warranties are done through the place you bought it from and not Samsung.
Samsung will not honor warranties from grey-marketed sales.

Evil Samsung Hong Kong, all Galaxy Nexus sold out, and stop restock (yakjuzs)

sorry for all first as my english is not good
Hong Kong have a very unfair galaxy nexus sales
(Hong Kong version is yakjuzs with chinese keyboard + Hong Kong warranty, not talking about import goods)
So i try to report the problem
Is it have anyway to contact google or this case have no chance to solve
one month ago, galaxy nexus sales at HKD 3698 about US476.47
it is quite cheap on one month ago
So many customers buy the phone and all nexus sold out very quick
NOW all main electronic store e.g. fortress, broadway, citicall(Suning) in HONG KONG
all of them said they will not restock, and some salesmen said galaxy nexus already stop production, WTF
I am not believe that , a phone just release in the world three or four month ago, stop production so quick?!
I try to contact Samsung Hong Kong though email and leave msg in Samsung Mobile Hong Kong 's facebook
but Samsung Hong Kong just ignore and never reply me
They don't respect customer and is samsung hk make a space for promote and sale GS3 in HONG KONG
don't lead the Nexus affect the sales of GS3????? i don't know
Hong Kong have a high smartphone user rate, if you go to MTR station,
most of people using their smartphone, apple iphone, android HTC, S2
Many people want to buy a Nexus, but it is out of stock now,
people in Hong Kong's fourm ask where can buy it everyday, but everyone don't which store have stock
Is there have anyway to contact google and help HONG KONG people buy Galaxy Nexus?
may be just sales the Nexus at play store like US
i don't know how to find google to report the problem in Hong Kong
Do anyone have idea, please help , hope Hong Kong have the stock again
or the sales are basic on Samsung Hong Kong
and this problem will never solve

Lol, I actually enjoyed the story. But, seriously. Can you not buy one direct from Google or from outside of Hong Kong? Is HK not GSM?

I mean I can see why its frustrating, but you can't be mad if they stop stocking a poor selling phone for a guaranteed higher selling phone. It's been out for 6 months, not 3 or 4. It's "old news" to some retailers (as if it was news in the first place).
There are plenty of importers that would be happy to send you one. And the prices are down now that the Galaxy Nexus is for sale in the Play Store for $399.

I'm in HK and I have a brand new GNexus for sale. Contact me if you're interested.

I was just there earlier this week and I saw GNex on every cellphone shop that I visited??

How do you not understand that? Serious reading comprehension fail. Read the first sentence, then the second sentence. It makes sense.
Prices are down because the Play Store has lowered the general price of the phone (pretty much flooding the market + increasing supply). Go look at importers websites. They've all slashed their prices down to the $400-$450 range.

oh sorry i have not mention
I am talk talking about official HONK KONG galaxy nexus which is yakjuzs (not yakju) with a stock chinese keyboard
Hong Kong people usually prefer buy a phone with warranty
import goods always can restock as they just ship to hong kong from the rest of the world
people buy import goods if they want to get a cheaper price (mostly import goods store do not provide warrantly, unless you pay all the repair charge)
MongKok is one of main place sell import goods e.g. "Sin Tat Plaza"
if you go to main electronic store e.g. fortess, broadway, citicall(Suning) in monkok (they don't sell import goods), you cannot find a hong kong galaxy nexus

if you talk about import goods
the import galaxy nexus is about HKD3000-3200(i9250/SC-04D japan version) in hong kong
about US386-US412
Import goods warranty are not like USA, store are not guarantee that unless you pay all charges and may wait a long time
hong kong warranty may get it back within one days (unless the parts is out of stock)

The official price in HK is $5698 simlock free
Divide by around 7.8 for USD
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

The starting price for the unlocked GN2 in the Netherlands is 629 euro`s. Only one price listed so far

It is 440£ from clove.co.uk for the unlocked 16gb. It is where I ordered mine.
That comes out to $715 US. Shipping is pretty reasonable about 16£ ($26) to the US via DHL.
If you wait a bit after it is officially released you will be able to find it slightly cheaper from hk sellers on eBay (grey market versions).. Also, don't let price be your only guide as to where you are buying from, take into account the reliability of the sellers, especially if you are buying from eBay.

Make sure you get a genuine handset and not some import model from who knows where. If a problem should occur you may not have warrantee in the US. Better check that first, because the price looks way to low to me

Full retail on the US cellular pre order page is $799.

I was reading the pre order threads for the S2 and the S3 here on xda and Clove seems to have a good reputation, so I am not worried about receiving a non genuine phone.
However...I should probably clarify a few things since I did mention buying Grey market in my previous post: Ordering out of country always carries risks with warranty. Essentially if you order from a UK, or any dealer outside North America, you can expect not to have a US warranty, or sometimes only a service-only warranty (ie, you pay for the parts). In the case of Clove or Handtec, warranty is usually handled by the vendor company (you ship back to the shop you bought it from, and they ship it to their repair place).
If you order a grey market phone from ebay, though, expect to have no warranty coverage..as it is unlikely the seller will do a warranty return for you. Also beware of sellers who claim their products carry a Samsung "International" warranty.
I bought my SGN1 from a Sin Tat dealer in HK when I was there for a visit earlier this year. The prices there are very good, but it comes with the understanding that there is no returns, and no warranty outside of HK.
