[INFO] GNexus for relatively "cheap" in Hong Kong

just saw this today while browsing around Mong Kok
Broadway has the phone for preorder for $5388 HKD (or a number close to that give or take 100; I can't remember)
FYI it's the 16gb gsm HSPA+ unlocked version
Just go in and ask one of the store reps and a $1000HKD deposit
it should be a way better deal than expansys for both UK and US members, so ask your friends if you have any time get it for you! I'd be happy to help if anyone's got interest;I'd be happy if you want a mod or someone trustworthy like dutch or charlie to hold the $ while I get it shipped to whoever wants one
just a heads up for those looking for a GNexus

$5388 HKD is
Dollar: $692.46 US
British Pound: £444.49
isn't that much cheaper, in the UK at least.

Just a warning to the OP, guys in Broadway and Fortress are really 'tricky' they can sometimes take your pre-order deposit then when the phone is in, give it to other customers who are paying cash straight away and then keep you waiting so their cash flow is higher...
Normally deposits are 300 HKD, which I have checked with at Fortress and Wilson. I've got my preordered with Wilson.
To be honest, it's an awesome phone but 450+ GBP or 5,000 HKD+ for a mobile phone is still very painful. I could build a pretty decent PC with that money.. But anyways I sold my HTC Desire and have no phone to use at the moment, so the GN should come in stock in HK from the 14-16th.
Has anyone got any tips to help check the Galaxy Nexus for any bugs/flaws when picking my one up? Like screen deficiencies, Touch screen issues etc?

They told me mid-month
hmm.....I haven't preordered from them yet since I have to get rid of my Atrix first.
Is Wilson accepting pre-orders now?
as for checking for defects; I've read that you shouyld check the physical camera module to see if its aligned up as some people have said that it wasn't on theirs and returned theirs for another.
Thanks!

I preordered the phone last Thursday, the day Wilson started preorders. A friend who works at 3 preordered his on the Wednesday and said he would get his on the 14th. I think you can try Sincere Centre or price.com.hk, because if you now order from Wilson or Fortress etc, you'll have to wait for at least second batch which nobody knows when that will be.

Mobile.dailysteals.com is selling the Samsung galaxy nexus for 559.99 + 4.99 shipping for only today, I'm thinking about picking one up as this is the best price we will probably see in months.

Order one. Hope it gets here soon.

I think i will order one too but im not sure how good the website is and how and how they would act if you need warranty work.. I might give them a call and ask.. ill edit my post later with their response!
DailySteals DOES NOT have phone support.. Now im not so sure what to do :/

Just took the plunge and ordered one from DS - I hope I don't regret it. Paid via PP, so if there's an issue - I can hopefully get my money back fairly easily.
This is the lowest price I've seen on it, and I've been watching Amazon - lowest there is $654.99 (includes shipping).
Fingers crossed that all goes well with this transaction...

Ordered one as well. Wonder what build it will come with.

They are a very legitimate website, I know people who've ordered form them they usually have some good deals
Also I think it includes a 1 year international Samsung warranty

funny thing is, the non-google signatured ones got updates before my google one did. lol
but in the end, they are ALL the same.

Condition: New Packaging: Retail Warranty: 1 Year International Brand: Samsung Model: Galaxy Nexus i9250. It says this under the info

Anybody have any experience with this site? Is it a legit seller? Why is it $100 cheaper than everybody else? I'm skeptic because i fear there is a catch. Too good of a deal.

International warranty does not apply to usa. Check amazon reviews of many samsung international phones to verify.
My grandma beat me down and took my nexus. Sent from a jitterbug with beats by dre.

I had a unlocked htc touch pro 2 and the international warranty worked for me when i dropped my phone in coffee. They charged me a $28 international warranty fee + shipping to chicago.
I don't see why samsung would be any different.

I read on another forum that the website is known to sell black market items and one thing that they are know for is their long shipping time.. I think they are legit but it might take time for us to receive the phone..

ive purchased from them before they usually take a week to ship out the items and they always use ups and give you a tracking number if that helps

This was pretty much the price point I've been waiting for. Ordered.
Let's just hope it doesn't need any warranty service.

I Hope it doesn't take a month to get it though...

So, if i buy this today and something better comes out at CES, how long do i have to cancel my order? I'm pretty sure it's not going to ship before CES.

I am almost sure something better will come out at CES from either HTC or Samsung but for me its not the octo core, 148 megapixel camera.. Its that this is a NEXUS phone! FTW!

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.

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.

I haven't tried twitter but I will thanks for the suggestion. The reason I bought from them was positive reviews from other buyers. Kind of pissed at them though, 3 emails unanswered and I'm out $750 waiting for them to respond...

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....

just bought from expansys... $649.99 with promo code for 20 off

Carphonewarehouse first again.

Bought my Sony play, last year, and Carphonewarehouse had it 5 days before anyone else, today picked up the one x, for my wife again from Carphonewarehouse, hate them or love them they certainly do deliver. I picked the 36£, vodafone tariff, which I think will definitely be the cheapest, compared to anyone else, good job carphone.

fair play to CPW!
beats headphones or no?

Lol, they probably kept for themselves, apparently most stores recieved about 3 units per store, in my harlow branch, they have 2 stores, both had about 6 between them.

I popped into central branch today in hull, they told me they already have their demo unit but not received any stock as of yet, to be fair i dont think the rep really new what he was on about as he didnt even know the release date

I've pre-ordered from CPW with delivery to store and not heard anything yet... will call them tomorrow.

I don't see the point in paying £36 for 600 mins, 3000 texts and 1GB Data.
Three do their one plan
All-you-can-eat data + Tethering
2,000 minutes
5,000 Three-to-Three minutes
5,000 texts
for £38pm with a free phone.
Better value for money if you ask me.

Last time I used Three was just after they launched, I lived in North London and I couldn't get reception anywhere....after a long battle we went out seperate ways...I now live in the sticks and ain't willing to risk it!!!

No stock at any of the stores near me yet. Hope they have a grey one I can reserve on Thursday and pay for on Friday, seems easier than ordering for delivery to store. If not, I'll bite the bullet and pay online.

You can get the same deal from affordablemobile for £31 p/m, that is a saving of £168.
I got the same deal yesterday, but changed to £23 p/m with £112 upfront for 500 mins, 500 txt and unlimited internet without tethering today, as it is much cheaper and I don't really need the tetherting that much.
Link to 3 One Plan for £31 p/m free phone
Link to 3 One Plan for £25 p/m with £118 upfront.
P.S. according this email affordablemobile sent me today, I could get the phone on Thursday if everything goes to plan.
"The HTC ONE X is released 05/04/12, credit checks will be taken out 04/04/12 for these handsets to be despatched that night for delivery on release date. Providing you pass all checks you could receive your handset as soon as 05/04/12. I can confirm the one plan on 3 does come with tethering."

You were lucky, there was a memo sent out later today to say that the release date is 5th and not to sell them, looks like some ppl didn't get that memo! :screwy: some heads will roll!

I will be seriously pissed if they don't dispatch my white version tomorrow for Thursday delivery - the website still states 'pre-order for Thursday 5th April delivery'
If it's not dispatched, they can give me my money back so I can go & pick it up in a shop - as the next earliest date would be 11th April, which is unacceptable.
11th would be terrible for a pre-order, (a pre-order they took money for over a, week ago) - especially when other suppliers have been shipping & delivering them already.
I feel I will be phoning them a few times in the morning.
... Hopefully with good news.

Funny you should say that buddy, cause when I went to the main branch, and asked if they had it, they said they had, no problem. I left my debit card at home, so went back to pick it, and then decided to go to the branch that was out of town, and when I asked if they had it, they hesitated before saying they had, but it wasn't on system, and had no price, which kinda confirms what you saying, it's only after I suggested, all be going to pick it up then at the other branch, as I had already spoken to them, that all the customer service chaps, went to the back of the shop, and miraculously it was now priced. But the first chap, I had spoken to wasn't the one who completed the deal, instead, it was the doggy looking chap, who done it for me. Let's just hop, the units are retail Units, not test versions, in light of what you said. And now my wife, read about the HTC that toasted in someone's pocket she's now a bit worried, the phone, got a bit warm at times when I was introducing it to the world, imagine it blowing up in the pocket, "I hate the sore idea of loosing one of my b***s.

Just phoned carphone warehouse, & I'm FURIOUS!
its 12:17pm - they still don't have stock for the white HTC ONE X.
They don't know when they are coming in, & its has to be dispatched today for the launch day delivery!
I've had my pre-order for weeks, they even took the money over a week ago (which they shouldn't be allowed to do until it enters dispatch process)
I asked about possible refund in which I was told it would take 4 days for them to refund me - which is absolutely pointless as i might aswell wait for white stock by that time.
The only thing they can do is offer to send me the black one instead.
Their website 'still' states pre-order today for Thursday 5th April delivery.
I'm soooo angry, if it's not dispatched today - it will be another week at the earliest til I recieve it!
Biggest phone supplier in the UK & they have no stock still, when O2, 3, Phones4u, dialaphone etc all have stock!

Reputable sellers to US buyers

Hey guys I just cant make the idea of the 16GB XL work for me and I want to order the One X 32GB. Can anyone tell me some reputable sellers?? I have been told to many horror stories about importing phones . Any tricks to get this working on ATT I should be aware of?

I'd go with Handtec or Clove in the UK. Expansys and Negri have been shipping Malaysian phones. Handtec actually delivers overnight where "express" from Expansys can take almost a week.

Was looking at Intergron Technology website as they have it for a bit cheaper. BBB check on them doesnt look bad. $599 is there price but what about warranty doing it this way? Is this a grey market purchase doing it this way will HTC honor the warranty?

Good questions. It's grey market by definition because it's being sold outside of the country/region of intended sale. I'm guessing Expansys is an authorized reseller but I don't know about the others. Samsung is insanely strict about grey market warranty support, I don't know about HTC. Phones purchased in the UK all come with a two year warranty. I don't know about Asia. Sorry for questions instead of answers. Maybe someone with more HTC experience knows more.

Well I can wait til some more folks throw in their 2 cents. I just wish HTC would have offered a 32gb XL or just put the SD slot on then this wouldnt be an issue.

Have you used an imported phone before? In addition to warranty questions there's also the fact you can't buy carrier insurance for it. I'd strongly suggest a SquareTrade warranty. They insure grey market phones and cover ADH should anything happen to it. It's about $95 for two years with a $99 deductible and they cover up to price you paid for the phone. There's some 30% off coupons on the Prime forum's front page to get to that $95. It's also transferable and adds a lot of value if you want to eBay or CL later.

Malaysian phones are just like every other phone. the only thing that might bother some is that the update took a few more days to get sent out. there's no good reason to pay more than you have to, but that's my opinion. mine was 619 with 5 day UPS.
the only warranty you can get for the X that i know of is Squaretrade. i've never had a phone go bad before i was done with it so i'm not getting one.

Yeah XL is bogus and LTE is not everywhere. Better development for Tegra as you can see. Plus you don't need a smartphone data plan so the phone will pay for itself. Unlimited data is 15 bucks, so your saving 15 a month.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA

Yeah I am on unlimited but not in an area that will see LTE in this decade lol. So thats why I am looking at the 32Gb version. 16 just wont cut it.

Newegg has it for 619 right now. I think I will be getting it there. Anyone else bought a phone from Newegg. I am concerned about there return policy. 30 Days for refund and 90 for replacement.

I bought mine from expansys. The phone shipped the same day I ordered it and got to my home in Arizona 2 days later. That was with their free shipping. I am very happy with them. I also received a flawless phone. Having zero issues here. This was my first time buying from them however I will gladly buy from them in the future.
