Best Buy

I went in to best but today and picked up one if the best buy mobile magazines. I saw a picture of the Galaxy Nexus saying it was coming to Verizon but it was called the Nexus Prime in the magazine. It was priced $299 on contract and $799 without

That $799 off contract is just... wrong. And the Nexus Prime thing is an obvious placeholder. Why not take the magazine and give a pic to us?

LMAO @ the $799. that's why i don't do business with verizon. the big red are crooks and a half. and then some. and what's sad is people are being robbed willingly.

$799?! Ouch! I was going to wait until Best Buy or other US vendors get the GSM/HSPA+ version. But I may as well get one for $700 at Handtec right now.

I believe the $799 pricing is unsubsidized. It also says the rezound is $799 off contract which we know from vzw it is $649.99.

I attached pics
Edit: ^ beat me to it

The 799 is the best buy price. It's always been that high for a non-contracted phone. To give you an example: Sprint has the EPIC 4G TOUCH S2 for $499 while best buy charges $699. But their subsidized pricing matches all carriers. and they even price match against all carriers.

$799.
wtf

Interesting. As long as it comes out before January 25th

I wouldn't pay 799 for ANY phone. Good thing I have an upgrade waiting.

Looks like I'll be buying my Nexus from the UK

Any release date info or does the fine print detail when their sale starts?

$654.00 - the cheapest?

Looking to get my hands on another Nexus after mine slipped and fell into the ocean last night. Too much liquor I suppose... You guys know anywhere cheaper than here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/browse.html?ie=UTF8&marketplaceID=ATVPDKIKX0DER&me=A1QPS08K9FKKNF

I ordered mine from here but it was $10 more when I bought it. Fast shipping and what I got was a brand new condition unit with all accessories. Nothing wrong with it whatsoever that I can tell.

I don't think you'll find them any cheaper. But if you want it you'd better hurry as there are only 4 left in stock and they sell em fast.

Pay the extra and get from negri or expansys so you have warranty. If you buy from Amazon or newegg you'll only have the return or maybe just exchange period as your warranty.

If you live in the US, you'll currently have zero warranty on the Galaxy Nexus, regardless of where you buy it.

it's weird that the gsm model is still so pricey considering that you can get the lte model off of craigslist under $500 now.

OK, I exaggerated. You get 15 days of warranty where you can exchange the phone. After that, you're left with a likely UK phone in the US trying to get support from Samsung. Ain't happening.

Still try again. Some of us ordered from expansys and negri for a reason. We might have to wait but we have warranty. Cheaper is not always better in this case. Thats why coreyl is laying down awesome customer service in the expansys thread.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Also because of expansys's exceptional customer service i am going to order my car dock from them. They goofed on some orders and coreyl went above and beyond making up for it. Ordering a couple accessories at a premium is the only other way to thank them.

Yeah I'm probably just gonna buy it from Negri again. They were top notch first time around. Just need to find a decent coupon now and I'll be good to go.

Guys does the LTE version can be unlocked and used with free sim all over the world ? im currently in the US but in my country we alredy have diffrent 4G providers, it should work then right?

Nope Verizon CDMA handset only. The GSM version would be required for elsewhere

Could you not just buy off contract from Verizon (yeah, $649.99 ) but still have the 1 year warranty?

Hi,
Is there any shop in Orlando that is selling the HTC One X?

The international Teg3 version isn't sold in the U.S. Some of the importers are based in NYC and Chicago and will sell directly out of their stores. But other than that, you'd have to buy it online.

look on amazon for the HTC one x and then do research on the stores selling the phone. A few are in Chicago, thy have websites and I'm guessing physical locations. Good luck.

There's one by Devon and Western. The website is welectronics.com you can give them a call. It's where I got my Galaxy Nexus and it worked great. They charge a bit more for the One X however I believe.

i've got integrontech.com tabbed for next week. it's 619.99 with free ground shipping. it's also that low on ebay. i don't care that i've never heard of them because my bank will credit the money back if anything is wrong.

[Q] Any ideas where to buy?

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.

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!

Best buy price match

Does best buy price match? I can get the s3 for 50 on a new contract through tmobile through my jobs discount will tmobile. Only problem is its done online and they have to ship the phone and its a mail in rebate. If i print it out and take it to best buy will they price match and I get the phone same day?

I think they do. But it has to be a published price, so I don't think your employee discount will count. They need like a newspaper ad or to be able to pull up a webpage (like Amazon) by themselves and see the cheaper published price.

Do they match the retail price? If so take the picture of Costco's retail price and bring it in and have them sell you the phone for $350 off contract.

This question isn't even in the wrong section, it's on the wrong website.

No way, just got from Costco on contract because without was like every body else.

Ok heres the thing. Even if they price match or not best buy does not sell the phones at their stores anymore that has to be done online or over the phone. Atleast thats what I was told for my wifes phone which I just got like 2weeks ago on sale for $50 which was a s3 . Maybe just maybe yours might sell it in stores idk. Like I said thats just what I was told. But the bright side is they got shipping for like 5 bucks comes in 3days flat

Yeah that's my problem I'll be without a phone for a week because I have a sprint s3 but ex cut it off. So im selling that paying 400 deposit and getting tmobile

You can buy Verizon, sprint and at&t in store but T-Mobile you have to order online or they can do it for you. That's how it is over here at least.

Yup same here another silly policy from tmobile, maybe they think you would leave them and join other carriers if your at the store. That tells you how sucky and not confident they are.

It's not a policy made by T-Mobile. By federal law, a retail store cannot sell all 4 main carriers (don't ask me why). Therefore it is up to the resaler to choose which 3 they want to sell. For example, Target chose not to sell Sprint.
