Ive been hearing a lot about getting wallet credits when you buy a Galaxy Nexus device. Are these just from carriers or are they also being given out to purchases from the Play Store? I picked one up yesterday and was just curious. Thanks
You receive 10 bucks when you activate it on your phone.

Can this money be spent on the google play store to e.g. buy apps? Or is it for NFC purchases only?
NFC only unfortunately.
NFC only. Maybe we'll see Play Store Gift Cards in stores
NFC only. They're actually trying to get you to use Google Wallet, not just buy apps.
Oi,
I just have a small question: Is it possible to buy a unlocked GSM Galaxy Nexus (without contract) locally in a store in the usa? My uncle is there for a few days. If so, in wich ones?
Thanks in advance!
(and sorry for my bad english :I)
Tell him to buy it from Google play store, google sells the phone for 400 dollars and 1 day shipment if im right.. Best deal outthere
Galaxy Nexus AOKP m5 Franco kernel m3
I have seen one in a Fry's Electronics store. For $800.
Play store is the way to go.
Sadly he is on a roadtrip, so we need a local store who sells gn's for 400 dollar :<
Local craigslist.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Buy and send to the next town
nope
Go to fry's and make them pricematch either newegg or google themselves. that'd probably be your best bet.
Right now, I'm seeing a "like new" version for $389 and free shipping. The seller reviews are fantastic. Just wondering if anyone else went this route. I'm looking to save a couple of bucks and going this route would save me close to $50 compared to the Google Play store.
Thanks!
Potential Problems:
Like New Devices = refurbished.
I.E. the original owner didn't like it or had problems.
OR the manufacturer found "no fault" and they're completely the same as the device that was returned.
Personally...
$50 to me doesn't seem like much when I'm potentially going to keep the device for two years.
hmmm....those are good points.
All good points. Not to mention that Google Play will give you a US warranty.
Yeah, the only thing about Google Play is that they don't take multiple forms of payment. I was planning on using $75 in AMEX gift cards, something I can do at Amazon (if I purchase Amazon GC's with the AMEX GC's). I may look at a new GNEX from Amazon though.
I wonder if you could call in the order and use multiple cards? They have an actual customer service number now. Worth a shot. I'd definitely get the play store one over an Amazon one.
Yeah, I already tried unfortunately. It all has to be on the same card.
well I'm assuming you'd end up using the AMEX gift cards eventually on something else... unless they're expiring soon I don't see the reason to worry about using them on the Nexus specifically.
Oh, and just because you buy an actual brand new one on Amazon still doesn't mean you get a warranty. You'll only get a US warranty on the Play Store.
Thanks for the info guys. Google Play does look like the way to go.
I guess since the Nexus 7 is shipping from the UK's Play Store, the Galaxy Nexus should be too, but I haven't found any pricing information. Can anyone in the UK check this?
Only the Nexus 7 is available under the 'Devices' section in the UK Play store currently.
I'd be interested to see how the price drop would convert into £ too.
Wow, that's just stupid. If they can sell the Nexus 7, they might as well sell the GN as well. Man..
Hi,
I have a bunch of credit in my google play store account, i was hoping the moto 360 would be sold there also. Does anyone know if they have plans to do so in the UK?
