I won't be able to upgrade my dumb phone till early 2013 with verizon. I am interested in the galaxy nexus. Any recommendations as far as just buying the phone? Ebay? Any reputable sellers?
Obviously the fact that they have no warranty is an issue, but a square trade may be worth it at 75 dollars with all the color issues?
I'm open to thoughts and recommendations.
Swappa.com sells a lit of android phones. Check there. It's strictly for phones. They will tell u if the ESN is bad or not also. U can talk directly to the seller as well. Some take trades too.

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

I ordered through negri and they handle all warranty claims. Not sure how Amazon does it.

OK, I'll probably never need it but it's always nice to know that the phone is covered. Lucky you! May be I'll talk with Amazon regarding this. Thanks a lot for nice replies.

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.

There are a couple threads about warranties. I think people said you can get Asurion (or any other 3rd party, probably) insurance... not sure though.
Hey guys! So I've had my eye on the Verizon GNex for a while now but my parents are unwilling to give up their upgrade so I can get it... Ebay is an option but also pricey for a used one ya know... Does anybody have any ideas where else i can look? besides craigslist
Again, I wanna find a verizon samsung gnex lol no GSM
Those are really your only options. I doubt you will find them online for cheaper.... Maybe amazon?

What's wrong with clist? Just make sure you meet at a Verizon store and you have the ESN checked. Make a test call, check that it powers off / on quickly. Fast GPS lock, etc etc.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Look in the XDA Market Place or Swappa.
Amazon has the device for $650. I doubt you'll find a much better price on a new device.
As stated above, check out your local forums or swappa.

That can't be right. A new one on eBay is $475-$350 and a brand new unlocked GSM version is only $350. I've seen some good Verizon ones on Clist and that'd probably be your best bet.
There's a couple for sale in the xda marketplace...

i checked out the marketplace and couldnt find the vzw one, am i just dumb and couldnt see it? lol
im checking swappa now, and ebay is good up until a few hours before the auction ends... then it jumps from reasonable to NUTS
I'm not looking to spend over $300 for this.. i really doubt i can find anything for cheaper lol so thank you for giving me some ideas.. ill still look back here to see if anybody posts so if you find a deal let me know!
Unfortunately, Verizon's business model is a dying, failing breed. They overprice the phones so they can sell them at a subsidized price to make it seem like you are getting a good sale. You are paying easily double for a phone that is worth half that price (look at the price on the Play Store). I would recommend Craig's List, or maybe keep a close eye on eBay, but you aren't going to be able to find an LTE Nexus for anywhere near $300.
Either convince your parents, or save up!
Just a heads up to anyone looking out for this device or waiting for its release we just got them in stock at my corporate store. Limited though. Only 3 stores in Arizona have them right now. I wasnt told a date that they are going on sale yet.
Dude this is a galaxy s3 forum smh lol. Nah but in all seriousness i think people know, and where to get them
Yeah but im not gonna post in the AT&T forum and figured Id go with the closest Samsung phone on Tmo. I know some are looking.

I was told August 8th is the official release. So unless you want to lose your job...your store won't be able to sell them until then.

Swap for a galaxy s3? Why would anybody trade a brand new phone for a year old one?
Mod please close this thread, it's nonsense that doesn't relate to the SGS3.
Inappropriate, use ebay if you want to sell.

If you call retentions, more than likely they'll take care of you. If you're out of contract retentions entire job is to keep you from leaving. The way they could handle this situation is more or less set it up in the system as if you were going to cancel, but locked into another contract... more or less, as if you had cancelled, then signed up as a new customer. In fact, that might be how they'd do it.
Give them a call and try.
Here's a direct, ZERO wait time Sprint retentions hotline number: 866-881-9571

I really would wait if I were you, signs of this means a new Nexus phone is in the making by Google. Which I would buy because GS2 has been a mess with ICS, and I am secured updates with a Nexus device!

Rethink that. Sprints version of the galaxy nexus is not supported by Google. The sprint version is code named the toroplus, look it up. Good development community though
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2
I'm not sure that device is any better than what we have now, in fact it might be worse.
I know ICS runs better on it. Smoother In my opinion. My wife has one. I talked to Samsung this morning and according to them Sprint is hustling Epic owners about a bug fix update. The Samsung Supervisor even said it was never recommended that Sprint push the update. She said no update is in the works for this model. The funny thing about it is Samsung says there call lines are flooded with Epic owners having issues and Sprint tells me there are not any problems and I need to take out insurance. That will be a cold day in Hell!

Read in the galaxy nexus forums, most people say don't get the sprint or verizon versions as they don't get their updates like the ones purchased through google play.Still good phones etc, just not the same google experience.

So glad XDA decided to use Swappa for the new marketplace. Sold my GS3 in about 48 hours and it was far less painfull than ebay.
That's cool.. How much you sell it for? And which carrier?
Its a shame that you can't do trades on swappa.

Same here. Recently Sold my evo 3d very quickly. Will definitely be using Swappa each time I'm looking to sell or buy a used phone.

I more or less did a trade on swappa. I found a nexus I wanted on there, I contacted the seller and asked if he wanted my RAZR so I listed the RAZR, he bought it, and I bought his nexus. Sort of a trade

We are glad that everyone is utilizing the XDA/Swappa marriage.
