Do you guys think $460 USD for a new one is a good deal for it? Thanks!
I can tell you that mine with a contract from T-Mobile was $396 taxes and shipping. I simply renewed with a new 2 year contract to get that price. Still not happy with the cost, but it was still cheaper than getting one with a German QWERTZ keyboard ( since I live in Germany and have T-Mobile in the US, too).
Oh... Hmmm, well, I'm getting it from T-mobile too, except without a contract. I think without contract should make up for it, no? Since I'm on prepaid.
wow, that much WITH a 2 year contract? i got mine for free with an 18 month one

If it´s unlocked and with no contract price is ok I think.
If you have the link where I can get it one for that price please post it here!
Sorry no link. I'm using craigslist.
Not a bad deal at all. I paid $540 shipped overnight for mine unlocked. Wasn't brand new but it basically was. Hardly used, 10/10 condition, box and all accessories. I wish I couldve paid just $460 haha ... hell, if you don't like it, you can always resell it for $100+ more than what you paid.

Do a quick search of the forum. I just ordered mine today for $149 ... No activation, free shipping...
Paying more than $150 isn't a good deal...
I´m sure prices will drop waiting all this fever of getting it first!
So if there is no rush for having it, waiting always is better.
Damm, I can´t wait to have one
I bought mine for US$ 800, no contract, unbranded in indonesia.

many people here not realizing how lucky they are with the subsidized price from operators... *although by partially selling your soul to them on contract *
i can confirm shadixs experience cuz I paid around that much too. but in our cases, it's price after tax and includes after-sales warranty. we can buy through ebay, or imports, but no after-sales...
you paid 655, is it included warranty... sir?
peid 600
paid 600 Euros without a contract.
Everz single Euro was worth it !!!!
£530 I paid for my first unit which was just under two months ago.

May I ask where you purchased one for £350? I'm in the market for one once I've sold my HTC Hero tomorrow.
Hey guys, first I want to thank everyone on these forums for making it possible for me to root 3 devices so far and the awesome roms/kernels shared here. Here is my small contribution!
Best place to order Galaxy Nexus for international users (im Australian) so far is:
handtec [dot] co [dot] uk
It is unlocked, pentaband version (no LTE).
It is a reasonable GBP$419, which translates to EUR$418 or USD$661
Postage by courier internationally is GBP$25.
I've preordered from here, if you find a better offer let me know! (they will reduce the price through pricematching).
Cheers!

If you live in EU and you buy a item from another EU country then you will pay VAT.
If you have a company with valid EU VAT number and buy a item from another EU country then you don't pay VAT.
And 419GBP is ~487EUR (not 418).
I wish I could order it, but I know I would end up paying half it's price in taxes anyways.
Handtec have always been great for me - usually quite a bit cheaper thanks Clove as well.

Yep I ordered mine from Handtec within hours of them putting it on the site, can't wait!
And no you don't pay VAT if you're not a UK citizen
i prefer clove co uk
because for extra 20 pound you get Smartphone Pre-Shipping Testing Service
Also
"if your product develops a fault within 14 days from the date of dispatch, we shall cover any return postage fees and rectify the situation to provide you with a fully working product."
Could I order from one of these sites and use it on T-Mobile US? Does this version support the AWS band? Also would I end up paying way too much?

Thanks for the quick reply. I was just looking for a way to get the phone sooner. Because no one really knows when the HSPA+ version will come out in the states. I was guessing not until next year. Hopefully sooner.

Hi all!
I am looking for a physical store in San Francisco where they sell the Galaxy Nexus or where you believe i can find one from a reliable store. Please i need some quick input as i am just gonna be here for another 3-4 days.
I'm aware of Expansys and internet retailers, but must be a physical store. I've been a Nexus One early adopter.
Thanks.
No store in america has it yet, it hasn't been released at the moment.

My brother is in SF but he will leave saturday... as he is staying in a hotel.. it is a pita and not desirable to ship to a hotel. He said the only way he would think of buying me one was just physical only.
Thanks for the heads up. How much was on handtec? Shipping cost?
it came out to 439.98 GBP including shipping which on tuesday morning worked out to 684.48 USD. Now it would be about 690.94 USD due to conversion rate. I used paypal with my amex. they only have 1 shipping option to USA
Buy it from Expansys, I got mine in three days in the USA.
expansys-usa doesn't have stock though. they were expecting to get stock today but their website shows they are still waiting.
warning -- the handtec fedex shipping label says 'weekday delivery' so i wouldn't count on getting it on saturday
You could try Mobilecity too, they are in NYC. I think they are charging more than US$749 though.

I am not sure if i have time. But drop me a PM now with all the info!
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.

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.
