Hey man! I used to live in orlando. Take your GF to magic mall! Thats next to Fashion Square mall on colonial drive. Close to downtown orlando. This mall has everything CHEAP. Electronics and jewelry but also make sure you watch your own stuff as you might leave with less stuff than what you came in with! If not, that same area infront of the fashion square mall has a bunch of phone stores that sell phones without contract. By, the way please so her a favor and get her the SONY S. Don't get her an ARC/ARC S. Dump Erricsson the same way Sony did bro. Whatever you do! DO NOT TAKE HER TO MILENIA MALL close to International Drive! That mall will ruin you! Everything is extremely expensive. I saw an iphone case there for $150. But for the best price do AMAZON and get it delivered to the HOTEL's reception and warn them. You should be fine.

Does anyone want to hook me up with a GS2

Hey does anyone have an extra galaxy s2 that they got from Tmobile retentions that they want to sell?
Desperately want this phone. It's so sexy! Finally made up my mind on getting the GS2 after debating between the HTC Amaze. Now i can't find one.

why don't you just get it from Telus on Friday
it's the same phone
and you can unlock it easily on any of those malls phone stands that does unlocking. (expecting darn telus like bell not releasing the unlock code for 3 months)
if you buy it from the US $529.99 + shipping + Canadian custom fees = the same price you buy it locally at $599.99 + tax
with the added benefit of easy exchange (and un-branded) in case we find any of those screen pixel errors people have reported, or worse case scenario this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1318972
the next best thing is to drive to the border go into a mall / tmobile store and buy it yourself
but... if you add the cost of GAS to go and come back... again it will add up to just about the same price, if you buy it locally.
LOL

Not being sarcastic. Did you try eBay or Craigslist. That's where I got mine.
Start a bounty thread.
I have nothing clever to put here. Sent from my: T-Mobile SGS2
well in a way it's a fair idea to get a good phone for less than retail value
but i very doubt any one would be willing to forgo their free upgrade/retention for less than $500
considering the phone only came out 2.5 week ago

[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.

[Q]What's the most suitable thing to do for me?

Hello guys,
An aunt of mine is going to London soon and she accepted to buy the Nexus for me. I need it to be unsimlocked to work with my carrier..
And the most important thing is that she can only buy in street stores.
So as of today, what's the best deal for this kind of situation (the most attractive price )? Is it easy to find in street stores ( considering it was launcher on Nov 17 so stocks should've arrived )?
Thanks
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329665
Hope you find an answer in there
Thanks for your answer!
the spreadsheet shows about same prices everywhere but my true question is how do I know which store has got it in its street stores.
While some seem to be online-only, if I consider a store like Three, will they have it in stock? How can I be sure of it?
That's my last question, thanks !
you can't know. Unless you call that specific store and ask if they have them in stock. Then again if you called today they may be sold out by the time your Aunt goes. So no guarantees. She'll just have to shop around.

[Q] Where to buy Galaxy Nexus in Germany, especially Stuttgart?

Hey pals, I'm traveling to Germany late this month and I'm eager to buy a Gnex. I own a Xperia X8 so I think it will be a great improvement!
I've been searching Amazon.de and Expansys.de among others and the price is about €380-390. I want an unlocked cell phone to work in Brazil.
Where or which store would be a good place to buy a Gnex in Stuttgart?
Thanks!

Well, buy one from a T-Mobile shop, and unlock it yourself... lolz... Or, go to an E+, base, Congstar, Vodafone, O2, Debitel and what ever shop, you get unlocked ones everywhere, dude...
Mine's unlocked, contract, German Telekom
You can get one at "Media Markt" in Stuttgart for ~350€.
Saturn also sell Galaxy Nexus', but I'm not sure about their prices.
Just go to some electronic stores in Stuttgart and look around.
Try a T-Mobile store.

Oh, yes... Don't buy it at Media-Markt, they are extremely expensive... I know this sounds wierd, but Saturn and Media-Markt may be the same company, but Saturn is much cheaper... Then again, Media-Markt has got a Debitel isle in-store...
I'd still go for the T-shop though...

Thank you for the answer. I just saw at t-mobile.de site that the Galaxy Nexus without contract it at 529,95€
That's too much expensive!

Where can I see it in New York?

Hi all,
Sorry for the dummy question but I would like to know if there is a place we can currently see and test it in New York at the moment?
I moved in the US few months ago, so I'm not sure how this works.
Over the past week, I tried to check few places (carriers, electronic shops, ...) but I guess it is still being shipped, carriers allow pre-orders and will need a bit more time to have it in stores? I know AT&T will not have it in stores but I thought Verizon would have it by now... checked one 2 days ago and the guy said they should have it soon but doesn't when know when exactly.
Thanks in advance,
Axello
Verizon stores may not have it in stock for sale, but they should have display models available on their tethered cases.

I've been to like 20 stores in NJ..nada...no floor demo model or any in person/stock.... HTC might want to get these physically in stores. There chances to sell incrrease dramatically that way...lol
Granted I know I'll love it but I need to see/hold it first before I purchase.
Hopefully the Ice View case is better constructed than the M9 dot view case....that was an epic fail by them. I had it replaced every 2 months 6 times from the flip cover ripping off.
Verizon on RT22 has it in display and in stock
I've seen and used them at the Verizon stores in Queens Center Mall and on Wall Street. Not sure if they actually have any in stock for purchase since I'm with T-Mobile. I just wanted to get to a store that had them before I bought online from HTC since it's $100 cheaper with the discount code.
Verizon store on 108th st has it
Several Verizon stores have it in NYC.
staten island stores have them on display.
Thank you all!
I'll check again today!
Ok, couldn't see it on 42nd but it was on display on 33rd (opposite Macy's).
Definitely a nice phone, I think I'll look for a good deal now for an unlocked version.
The 100$ promo code is not valid anymore
