Galaxy Nexus prices & pre-orders

It appears Phones4U are taking preorders on Galaxy Nexus for delivery on 16th November. Only on Orange at the moment. (here)
Hoping O2 isn't far behind...
Anyone else in the UK waiting to preorder?

Thanks for that mate, I've just updated our website with a new post.
Finally we get to see some price plans, I'm going to buy myself out of my contract so I can get it, but that's only if phones4u releases before it comes on clove, otherwise I'll get it sim-free

Three, O2, and Orange confirmed they are stocking it, but only Orange at the moment have released any pricing, hence my post!

I wanted the device earlier than the 16th though Need to get it asap for review.
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

Ive preordered mine at clove. Paying full price, but I'm selling my SGSII to lessen the pain of paying full.
People think I'm mad selling my SGS2 for the Galaxy nexus, but I've always been a fan of the Nexus phones (had a Nexus One imported from the US when it was released).

Clove is still cheaper, even at that price, than the pre-order price on Amazon.

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.

Now featured at Amazon.co.uk - price pretty high, but November 2nd?!?

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).
Mark

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.

I would try negri or expansys. You will have warranty through them. You will NOT have warranty with newegg or amazon. And I also suggest waiting till February and see if the 32GB comes out. 16gb version price will probably go down. You might find a good deal on a slightly used one from somebody unloading to get a 32GB nexus aaaaand, it gsm version might officially be released in the USA and then it will be safer to buy through newegg or amazon. Anyways, buying through newegg or amazon right will only only allow the exchange/return period as your warranty. Not good if you ask me.
My grandma beat me down and took my nexus. Sent from a jitterbug with beats by dre.

All GSM phones come unlocked.
Newegg, Negri, Expansys are all good choices. Can't really go wrong with either three.
I personally bought mines from Negri (look for coupons if any exist and you can get a good % off)
Keep in mind that the white GN and GSM 32GB GN is coming out at the end of February (or so) if you're interested in that.
Pretty much what rbiter said.

personally i recommend negri electronics. they're one of the best places to get it. also currently the cheapest. and they honor the years warranty from samsung at no extra cost. they also include a US adapter.
i bought mine from them.
also, keep in mind that the 32GB version is coming in a little over a month, so if you need more than 16, you might want to wait.

Adapter? I ordered mines and didn't come with an adapter. Worked in the wall just fine. I had a yakjuxw build. You might of gotten the UK version so it needed a US adapter, that's probably it.
But regardless, Negri has great customer support + fast shipping. Would buy again, take a look at them. Definitely the cheapest and google around for a coupon (as I mentioned before.. you might save some more!)

I purchased mine from Negri. Had a problem with the first unit, would not recognize my SIM card. Had to pay for a second unit to be shipped while I sent the first one back. Sent the original back in the same box the next day, never even opened the headset or charger. They told me would only take 10 to 12 days for them to issue the credit on the device. They received it on December 19th still no credit and they are not responding to my emails. Now I have to dispute through my c/c company. As far the second part of the question, my GNex works great on TMOUSA! I have not had any issues with the phone working on their system and the speeds are pretty good, not LTE good but still good. I'm getting over 7Mbps down and upper 1's up, I'm outside Philadelphia.

Have you tried contacting them via Twitter? they usually have great customer support. I'm not sure what's up but I'm sure they'll fix you right up.
https://twitter.com/#!/negrielectronic

yeah i got some time... i was thinking prices will go down closer to the end of the month because of the release of the 32 gb version so im hoping to get a 16gb a little cheaper... honestly, its kinda tough to find a good deal on this phone... if n e one has coupon codes let me know! lol thanks for ur help guys

I'm sure you'll have a lot of people recommend Negri here and I can vouch for them. They offer competitive pricing as well great discounts.
I purchased mine during the holidays with free shipping and received mine within a few days.

You could also give them a call,
Toll Free: (888) 358-6358 x 0
(888) 358-6358 x 4 (Accountant Office)
Most likely closed today but tomorrow should be fine. Also seems that their Twitter customer support is still active today, so that might be your best bet, seem to be very friendly and helpful.

im still debating waiting to see if prices will go down a little more....

Pre-orders, who has put one in then?

Having been flitting between the One S (for the smaller size) and the One X for the potential hardware benefits I decided to just go with the device I most wanted and plumped for the One X, for me the size is really the only thing that made me think twice as I ride motorcycles for a living, am out on the road a lot reviewing kit and a whopping device is a bit of a PITA in leathers.
How many of you have taken the plunge with a preorder and how many of you went through the same decision making process as me then?

We've already got one of these: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1558246
But yes, I've pre-ordered and no, I didn't follow that decision making process (the bigger the better as far as I'm concerned).

I didnt see another thread about the same thing, nonetheless I am interested to hear if peoples buying decisions were anything similar. Having stuck (happily) with my original desire for 2 years the leap to such a massive device is, well, a leap.

Agreed, but id put the limit at about 5 inches. Anything more and id feel like im talking on a tablet.

I've just cancelled my preorder with amazon UK.
& preordered with carphone warehouse.
£10 cheaper
Fast delivery, should be launch day (amazon was free super saver delivery which could be 3-5 days)
Basically, the £10 saving has paid for my HTC screen protectors & micro sim card cutter & fast delivery is the bonus.

Yes pre ordered, currently love my SGS2 but I like new toys to play with been saving up for a new phone I know the SGS3 is due soon (will see how that fairs after I've got my HTC).
I'm use to 4.3" can't go smaller, I love the Galaxy Note so think the size of the One X shouldn't be an issue.

Ok I bit the bullet and placed my order with Carphone warehouse! 9 days and counting (hopefully!)

still considering. if fafsa continues my college loans I will sell my galaxy s2 for half the money, but if not, I'm selling my car and my phone. I wont need a phone at all.

VERY bad experience with them.
I ordered a Limited Edition Zelda 3DS from thehut dot com and I paid for next day delivery...
Nothing came next day, so the day after that I phoned them up, they'd lost the parcel... Then they'd found it and it was due to be delivered the next day...
Then their tracking system said that at 14:53 the parcel was handed to the courier driver, then at 14:53 it was in transit, then apparently I signed for it at my house at 14:53... ALL THE SAME DAY!!!
Then a week later a woman knocked on my door and hands me the parcel, they'd delivered it to the wrong address, the other side of the city I live in.
They failed to tell me that I'd (apparently) signed for it, then that they'd lost it.
I think yodel are Crap.

Ordered mine from clove this afternoon. £500 including vat and next day delivery. Now for the cases and Sim card cutter!

Where to buy GSM Version from in USA?

I'm looking to purchase the Galaxy Nexus GSM, and I am located in the USA. A few different places have it for ~$450, and I am trying to find the best place to purchase it from.
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-I9250...F01A/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1335213120&sr=8-1
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16875176322
For anyone else that purchased it in the USA, what do you recommend? I have read of issues with fake ESNs, and I thought I read that there were different versions of the actual device (Japanese version, etc). Any major things to watch out for? Where did you purchase from, and did you have any issues?
Update - Responses from Amazon Sellers:
Global Mobiles:
the Samsung I9250 Nexus comes with a return policy of 30 days and 2 years manufacturers warranty in Europe. You can claim the warranty by yourself at Samsung Europe or ship the phone in case of a warranty to our office in Germany, where our technicians will handle the claim for you and send the phone back in the US after the repair.
And its EU stock. The warranty is valid in all EU countries, not limited to one.

This is not the Japanese version. Warranty is available, you can return to Samsung directly to get warranty service.

Got mine from Amazon with next day shipping. I have prime so it was only 4 bucks for next day.
I'd say Amazon is safe as long as you get the one fulfilled by amazon. If anything goes wrong with the phone when you first get it you'll atleast have amazons great customer support and be able to return it.
My first gnex was from daily steals and the phone had a defect within first 24 hours. It took nearly a month to resort things and get my money back although they refunded my money in its entirety I'm pretty positive amazon would've been a lot easier.
Other places with positive reviews are negri and expansys. People say these places offer some sort of warranty which you'd normally wouldn't get with a gray market phone. They essentially act as a middleman for you and samsung. You send the phone to them and they send the phone to country of origin (typically samsung UK) for warranty repair. A bit longer of a fix but pretty good for ease of mind.

But isn't there a way to change the build of the device anyways? So the only difference is software based, not hardware based? I know the Nexus S had a LCD version, and an AMOLED version - I don't need to worry about that here, do I?
I sent a message to a few Amazon sellers, asking them what the warranty situation is, and what version theirs are (what country they import from). I'll try to report back when I hear back from them.

Yes the only difference is software, and you can change any i9250 or SC-04D to "yakju" and get Google OTA updates. It takes all of about 15min to do.

I wouldn't expect much as far as warranties go with an Amazon seller. If you want a warranty I'd go with a reputable non-Amazon seller like Expansys or Negri (and even then its shady at best and you're trusting that they can take your phone and forward it to Samsung Europe). You're going to spend a bit more for it though so I'm not sure if its worth it for you.

I got the $450 Newegg phone. It turned out to be a Docomo SC-04D, made in Korea, 12/2011. I have had zero problems with it. I immediately flashed yajku IMM76D and went on my way. No problems with the IMEI, it matches the one printed on the box. If the NTT battery cover bugs you, there are stock battery doors available from any number of sources.

Expansys dropped the price down to $469.99. Good deal, especially with all the warranty and repair service they assist with.

That would be greatly appreciated - I'm kind of stalling at this point as I have a busy week of school to get through, and don't need a new toy to play with. I'm leaning towards Amazon as I have a bunch of gift cards that I need to spend.

Correct no warranty but an order fulfilled by amazon should give you a window of being able to return a defective phone. In my case I believe it was 7 days.

You have a lot of faith in your phone. My Nexus S screen went bad 6 months into owning it. If it wasn't for the warranty it would have been an expensive repair.
Also keep in mind that with a voided warranty (buying anywhere but Nergri or Expansys) Samsung will not fix your phone even if you pay them, because it is grey market. A few unfortunate people on XDA learned that the hard way.

I got mine on Thursday from amazon for 430 $ but I didn't realize it was from saxx mobile, now I'm super scared its a refurbished phone, 20 $ didnt sound like a huge difference so i didnt suspect at the time, I should have been smarter and should have not trusted that too good to be true price phone hasn't arrived yet

Haha. Not too much faith but enough faith. My first phone I acquired through Craigslist but had a small scratch on screen and banding that was driving my ocd insane. My second through daily steals samsung did actually offer warranty fix but I had to ship to country of origin which was in Poland. Luckily I had people I knew in Poland who id be able to ship to. But alas daily steals offered me a full refund since it was prior to 30 days. I figured after two faulty phones I was due for an alright one.

You should be covered by the Amazon A-to-Z guarantee if it is refurbished or anything. If you have any problems, I recommend talking to Amazon customer service. They tend to be pretty good about stuff like this.
Would the warranty start working in the US if Samsung starts selling the gsm Galaxy Nexus here, or do they somehow know that it was imported and not allow people to send it in for warranty repairs?

My second through daily steals samsung did actually offer warranty fix but I had to ship to country of origin which was in Poland. Luckily I had people I knew in Poland who id be able to ship to. But alas daily steals offered me a full refund since it was prior to 30 days. I figured after two faulty phones I was due for an alright one.

Did you have to give the phone back? The phone will be shipped to my country so its almost impossible for me to return it

I would get it from the Amazon link and make sure the one you buy is the one that is fulfilled by Amazon.
I purchased one from ebay and ended up getting the NTT Docomo version with a horrible screen with all kinds of banding.
I then purchased one from Amazon (same link) and got a regular (UK?) version, with a much better screen.
I will be returning the ebay one.
Both arrived with the Samsung seals broken (probably because they had to be unlocked)? But they were pretty much brand new in condition.
Good luck!

Where to buy HTC One X (Unlocked)

I found that the best deal so far is being offered by expansys UK. They are bundelling krusell screen protector with the device too.
Price for me will be £396.94 / $643.
Any knows where I can get a better deal?

Handtec has it for $631 and you'll get it overnight. It'll also be a UK phone vs. Malaysian which is what Expansys has been shipping. If you're rooting and ROM'ing it won't make a difference. Also, if you need warranty repairs, you have to send your phone to Expansys who then sends it to an overseas affiliate who sends it to HTC. If you buy it in the UK your warranty is with HTC directly.

Sorry but Plemix's price is $599
anyone tried those sites before??
do you know which version do they sell??

I got mine from Amazon. Not the cheapest, however, you'll get your device overnight, the support is good, and you have 30 days time to return your Device without a reason, even if it is unlocked. If you want to get a Replacement, they send you the replacement overnight, and you can send your old phone back in the same package the new one came in. This is quite helpful if you have a one x with problems...

Plemix is legitimate, I used to get my phones from them. Their company should be located in HK, so I would guess the version should be asian. E-mail them to check, I remember them being pretty good at responding back.

have you ever tried them?

Are you asking about Negri? I placed an order with them over the weekend the one x first came out and didn't even get an acknowledgement, though my amex payment went through. When I emailed on Monday, I was told sorry nothing available and they had no idea when stock would come in. So I cancelled my payment through Amazon and got an immediate email saying oh gee they had one for me but it would cost $70 more to ship. I said no and ordered from Expansys. Have been happy with my one X since. I don't like being jerked around and won't deal with Negri again.

someone in another thread said expansys is selling the malaysian model??? i don't know. the one i received came in a box that said taiwan, indicating taiwan production and system language choices were all european. in fact, american english was not an option - so i downloaded morelocale2 to get that. there is the option to use keyboards from a larger group of languages that include asia.
i would check with expansys re model being sold, as i imagine that could change depending on what's available in the supply chain.
i should add that in another thread another uk retailer was listed. i am sorry, i can't remember the name.

Techno Trading House
I found this on Google Shopping, their rating has been pretty good so far. Perhaps they could be a reliable seller? $579.99 for both white and black
