Galaxy Nexus for as Low as $175

What I am going to try to do is pick up the Galaxy Nexus for the advertised Holiday price of $199. Plus, use this Living Social Deal, you get $50 for the price of $25. That gives me a grand total of $175 for the Galaxy Nexus, hard to beat. The Living Social deal is good for 2 more days so if you are interested jump on it.

I'd be surprised if it actually debuted at $199 now on Verizon. Time will tell there. That $50 is also only for accessories.

Um, to quote the offer, "$50 to Spend on Any Device or Accessory".
The thing is plastered with pictures that include phones.

The great thing about going through VZ here in the US is that if the phone has problems, you can take it back to them for a new one. If in the US, you order from the UK, you get to pay $30 to ship it back, and then wait a month for a replacement.
Oh, and the LTE ! And the 32GB storage......
Well worth a few days of waiting.

Instant replacement is really the only benefit I see.
Then again, I've never broken or had to do any warranty claim on 15+ smartphones (iPhone/BB/WP7/Pre/Android) that I've ever owned in my life.
I'm going with the odds. Besides, most issues are physical damage, which is not a warranty issue.
And once you root, your warranty goes bye-bye. Yes, there is the USB jig trick, etc.

Rooting doesn't automatically void the warranty. On the Nexus One unlocking the boot loader did, but HTC still honored it for hardware issues. On the Nexus S the language changed to MAY void the warranty and the boot loader became able to be locked via fast boot. GN also says "may". http://twitpic.com/7jii6h

He's probably too embarrassed to come back to this topic now.

Cannot be used on business accounts. Damn. I'm upgrading my blackberry through work.
G2x - 2.3.7 CM7
Transformer - 3.2 Revolver OC/UV

Well ..... My GN will be here on Tuesday so, it's all good. The unlocked version works on TMO.
Remember you pay more for a contract per month costs than a non contract per month costs. So in the end, it is about the same as just buying it out right.

NEGRI DEAL! $685.50 For GSM Nexus!

NegriElectronics has a deal for this weekend to get the Galaxy Nexus for the lowest price I've seen so far, $685.50! Plus, it's free shipping in the US!
I thought I got a deal by ordering for 704ish from them a while back, but this deal is the lowest ever and is only for this weekend. If you were on the fence, now MIGHT be the time to act for the GSM version.
Coupon Code is: VZSucks
It knocks $45 off the price tag!

Good price and negeri, say what you will about them, are shaping up to be a good reseller.

I'm giving this serious consideration...

I'm really tempted to go through with this. I was at Best Buy yesterday talking to one of the Mobile guys. I'm really starting to think there won't be a GSM version available for retail sale in the US. Someone please talk me out of this! I'll will really hit myself if by the end of this month a GSM version is available in Best Buy less than $550. I wanted the 32GB GSM model but I feel like I've waited too long already.
Should I wait until the ides of December and see what happens or jump in on this Negri deal?

1000% agree.
Bought mine 3 weeks ago at $750 and haven't doubted it since.
No way I'm going to sit around and wait unit, what, Feb, March, May, ever for a GSM version.
No thanks.
Buy now enjoy now.
Wait and possibly never enjoy.
Easy decision, IMO.

Okay that's all I need! I went through with the order with free ship option to save as much money as possible. Hope it won't take THAT long.
I've already been alerted by my bank about the authorization. I used Amazon Payments.

If I get this phone will my ensurion insurance still protect it? I have a problem with losing phones. Thanks guys

it will not since the phone will be from another country and not incorporated into their system. even then, if they actually would allow it they wouldn't be able to replace it for the same phone.

Good deal!

So I would essentially be screwed if I lost this phone? I am an outdoors man, and somehow lose them.

They charge tax so don't forget to factor that into the equation based on where you are. I got mine from Negri for $705 but after tax it shot up to $764. I was just thankful I saved $35 from a code.
Negri is the way to go... although I've heard mixed stories about the customer service they give but I'd recommend them. I got my phone super quick.

AT&T just passed a locked GSM Nexus through the FCC, (radio hardware lock), so I doubt it.

Yeah I know I got ripped off. If negeri is selling at $685, they are still making a profit, believe you me. And to think I paid $750...Expansys must have made a TON of profit on the units they pushed out just before Thanksgiving.
Oh well. Money. It comes and goes.

Does this phone come unlocked already!? I went to pre-order my own but it says (Verizon) next to it. I just want to make sure I get the unlock version other than the wack a$$ Verizon one. Please let me know.
Thank you

Galaxy Nexus and Assurion (GSM)

Not sure if it has been said, if so forgive me . I noticed a few people on here that already broke/ lost their phones. If your carrier uses Assurion which I believe every carrier does, the Galaxy Nexus IS semi covered just like previous Nexus phones. I have T-Mobile here in the states, as long as you have the full PHP protection on your account you can file a claim with Assurion. What will happen is you will have to purchase a new Nexus yourself but with proof of purchase they will cover the full cost minus deductible. So, the phone is $700, you pay the deductible equivalent (130 on tmous) they cut you a check for the rest so you get 570 back. No warranty coverage is provided obviously .Just thought I'd share for those that didn't know.

Is this for a phone bought off contract? I got asurion through Verizon a few days ago and was just told there a 100 dollar deductible.

Do you have to send the broken phone to them? That sounds ripe for abuse and fraud otherwise.

With Verizon you guys are covered because its a device that Verizon carries. This is for us GSM folks who imported their device from overseas.

Would've been a good idea to put (GSM) in the thread title

Its the same if you were to go and buy a Galaxy S2 for $529 and do a claim with them , just paying the 130 deductible so if you wanted you can do fraud on any device....you only get 2 claims per year.... I'm not 100% if you have to send it back I'll find out tomorrow when I get to work, but I wanna say that yea, you'd have to send it back.

No. Carriers don't insure phones, Asurion does. Now I remember this was the policy with the N1 and the S I believe as well. Just to be clear I personally have not confirmed this myself, but a few trusted sources informed us here at T-Mobile regarding this.

Better than nothing, I guess.

Galaxy Nexus Gsm warranty.

I got it from Amazon today in one day shipping. Just installed my apps and love the phone already. My gs2 needs to go now.
I have two question though.
1. Do they have only one version everywhere? I know the cdma version is a different one, but are all the gsm ones alike?
2. In case I need to get warranty on this, will Samsung be providing it in USA?

Yes and no. All GSM models are the same pentaband phones.. and as for warranty your guess is as goof as mine

You may have extra luck because Amazon is good with customer service. But they probably sourced it from one of the UK importers, so that hurts your chances also. Most people are saying that the imported versions have no explicit warranty in the states.

I'll be in the U.S. for the next 14 months and i was wondering about the same thing, because the XL doesn't even work in europe.. so i would have a nice $800 brick...

Nope - you don't pay the UK taxes if you're buying it for immediate export - in other words, if you're getting it shipped directly to somewhere outside the EU...
Also, there is, or will be, a Euro/Asian version of the XL with global LTE frequencies.
