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.

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
goooodbye t989 samsung galaxy s ii helllo nexus =)
Yesterday I went into my local VZW store to look at picking up the Galaxy Nexus. The best price that they could offer me was $249. I knew that I could get it from amazon for $20 less, but today Amazon dropped the price by another $30, so now it's $199.
Amazon Galaxy Nexus
Does anyone know of a better price to get this phone?
I thought it was always $150 at Amazon
It'll be 250 at sprint.
But I'm wait till best buy gets it. $50 ftw

RadioShack selling SGS3 for $149.99.. Has some at&t & Sprint versions in stock
I preordered mine at $199 but when they called me in to pick it up the girl mentioned they're doing $50 off all android phones over $100 this month. From what they said, RS isn't able to sell them unless you preordered, but I watched a guy convince them to sell him one while I was there.
I know most authorized retailers aren't getting them until the 9th, but I'm not sure what core is doing atm. If you're still trying to get your hands on one, try radioshack. I wasn't even in a rush to get it because my CM9 LTE Note is so great, but the SGS3 is growing on me quickly.

I got mine July 1st from RS, no pre-order.
Thanks for the tip. Just got my refund and used it to buy my 32g sd card
Edit. Bought at best buy last night and then rs price and went back in to bb and got my price match.

This summer right after the 'apple ban' was lifted, no Site Google was pointing towards could ship a GNex. I had to drive around to find a retailer that had one in stock. Eventually I purchased one for €380.-
The other day I noticed a large retailer is asking €519.- with a discount to €429.- right now! Is the GNex getting rare already or what?!

The phone isn't rare. You can get them all over.
Maybe in the USA, but in Europe you can't order online from Google.

You can easily order it from Amazon germany, it's 330€.

In the UK pretty much the only way you can get one is online. Shops stopped selling them about 7/8 months ago.
I bought mine in july for about 375€. At the moment there are some special offers for about 300€. I think this is quite fair for such a good phone.
I was kinda hoping with the announcement of the new Nexus 4, Google would slash the price to $200 to clearance them out, but I'm hearing nothing. The gnex was still being sold earlier today so what's to become of remaining inventory?

Yea strange. I guess they wanted to keep all their products aligned. 4, 7, and 10. All Nexus no manufacturer branding. No where have I seen Samsung or LG or ASUS.
Maybe they will eventually. I was thinking $249. $200 is really low.
Inventory wasn't very big to begin with and must have dropped off steeply after the Nexus 4 went into production. I guess they were selling off the remainder all this time if you think about it.
Yeah as a guy who works for a retail store, I'm wondering if Samsung bought back all the inventory. I've seen my company do it over model changes. This might be the whole point of the Galaxy Premier, the unused gnex inventory might be remanufactured into a different phone model.
