Shipping Questions - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

So i decided to buy my galaxy nexus! whoop i use to own a nexus one but i went to a non nexus device lol bad choice... now i value the nexus line. i didnt think the nexus one had good development back in the day considering people were still jumping on board to android. but now wow galaxy nexus has great development support considering android is 4 years (almost 5?) old now instead of 2 when the nexus one first arrived.
so i bought it from the google store on friday night at 11:27pm and it says its being shipped from mountain view cali. well i live in cali too...in around ventura county. 50 miles north of los angeles. still no word on shipping confirmation but i heard some crazy stories on xda where people got their galaxy nexus or nexus 7 tablet delieved to their door 1 hour before or after receiving their device. since i live relatively close to mountain view should i expect my galaxy nexus to be shipped early? instead of 5 days just 3? maybe
im starting off college this Saturday i want my nexus before then
-crosses fingers-

no one willing to tell me their experiences with shipping for recent gnex owners that bought for the past 2 weeks?

Mine was ordered Friday night.. well, actually Saturday morning since it was after midnight, but w/e.. anyway, it still says:
Aug 11
Google Inc. received your order.
Aug 11
You placed an order with Google Inc. on Aug 11. ...
So at least you have a ship date. /shrug

Galaxy Nexus GSM pricing in Europe

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.

Walmart Wireless Tracking and Delivery

UPDATE: Received my Note 2 on the 5th! Took some time, but absolutely worth it. For those of you still waiting, stay strong and keep on going. Push a bit harder too. The phone is absolutely fantastic.
-----------------------------------
Hey everyone! So with the current lack of inventory at Walmart Wireless, I figured it may be useful to have a thread up and running like this. I did some searching and couldn't find one for AT&T...so here we are.
I ordered my Note 2 on the 25th and am still under "Awaiting Inventory".
Talked to customer service representatives both today and yesterday.
Yesterday: Was told that they should receive a large shipment on the 29th and that it was likely for my device to ship then.
...
Today: After wondering where my phone was, I was informed that they have no idea when their shipments are coming in nor when my phone will ship. Basically, it could take no time or maybe awhile. Good news, without even asking I was offered free one day shipping.
*To get free shipping, you may have to call like I did.
Anyway, post your stories! :good:

I am in the situation as you. I ordered mine today and it says "awaiting inventory". Hopefully it will come in stock soon. Sams Club got a shipment in on Friday to the local store. I know the hold up has to do with the $100 gift card promotion, but if I have to wait for the phone to save $100 I will do just that!

Haha yes I did it for the 100 dollar promotion as well. Best of luck too, I hope it won't take them too long to get to your order. Hopefully they should receive their shipment tomorrow as they expected, but I've learned to not count on that. Will update soon

I ordered 2 of them on the morning of the 24th. And was taken back when I saw they were out of stock. Thursday, I was told our phones were shipping out saturday. Then Monday, we were told they would be sent out with in the next week or 2. And some how it seems people that ordered after us are getting them shipped already. Im not really impressed with Wal-Mart's customer service. This will be my last purchase online with them.

Nice! Happy to hear you got yours, and I can join you in that club too! Mine is expected to arrive tomorrow! Hopefully yours has easy uneventful shipping too :fingers-crossed:
Any others waiting, hopefully they'll get to yours asap. I have complained some to them and also got a free Bluetooth headset. Actually not too bad of a deal... kinda justifies the wait :silly:

So, the tracking page changed to confirmed on Thursday. Said the same thing for my wife's SG3. She got her phone Friday... mine changed back to "awaiting inventory."
Getting impatient. Going on 2 weeks now....

Crap man I'm sorry to hear that! Best of luck to you as well. I'd recommend calling WW and demanding that you be put on priority or something. Sometimes all it takes a little pushing.

UK availability?

Hey all.
Does anyone know when this will be available in the UK? A few weeks back it was at lakeside with the promise of general sale a few days after. I cannot find it even listed anywhere outside of expansys. I really want it!
Cheers!

The 16gb is available at the samsung store in Westfield centre Stratford. Thats the only place im aware of that has stock at the moment. They only stock the 16gb WIFI version though
Yep it's frustrating at the moment, I am almost tempted to order the 3G version from amazon.de, I think if they had the black version I would have ordered by now.
I can't help feeling that Samsung are shooting themselves in the foot the longer they leave it with the new Nexus 7 just round the corner.
Sorry I meant Westfield not lakeside! It's the 3G one I'm after ideally. Maybe amazon.de is the way forward. I'll give the UK another week or so then go German!

Carphone warehouse say they will ship wifi version before week commencing May 5th is you pre-order. However they also said this 10th april for delivery before 19th April. I pre-ordered (they took my money) and I rang to chase on the 18th to see it slip out to May 5th. So I cancelled my order.
So I don't suppose this really helps you! but they are listing it and cheaper than amazon.de.
I noticed the Carphone Warehouse date slipping too, I really looking for a black 3G version which it seems is non existent right now.
I asked Samsung UK on Facebook, they replied
Samsung UK (Facebook) posted this:
Samsung Mobile UK Hi Julie, the wifi version will go on general release in the first week of May. ^George
No details of 3G or 32GB units
I'm in the States, but want the 3G/Phone N5100 version as well. Every site that I've seen it listed at in the U.S. has also slipped from April 23rd to May 8th availability. So those dates correspond well to a 3-4 day lead time from foreign sources such as the initial May 19th, then May 5th dates given by Carphone Warehouse UK.
Hopefully May 5th (and May 8th for me) will be the day! Fingers crossed...
I own a Note 2, and was intrigued by this device.
However, the price really puts me off. For an 8" tablet, it is in a price bracket of it's own. More expensive than the iPad Mini even.
I just can't justify that layout for something that is just a little bigger than my Note 2, it just isn't worth it.
A real shame, because it looks a great device.

Its in a price bracket of its own, because its in a league if its own. Even against the iPad Mini, the Note 8 has the pen digitizer, better CPU, and 4x the RAM (although the exterior build quality is arguably not quite as good, but still great).
Its worth if for those that value a premium device packed with features, versus the "race to the bottom" pricing strategy and gimping of features and quality present on devices like the Nexus 7, Kindle Fire, and Galaxy Tab 2 7.0. I for one am thankful that somebody has stepped up with a quality Android device (in the "smaller" form factor), as the lower-priced competition just doesn't hack it for me.
I am also waiting for the 3G version to become available so that I can replace both my Note 2 and IPad Mini with a single device. :good:
Samsung UK Facebook stated the wifi version would be available on 10th May.
Currys have the same availability date with the Note 8.0 ready to pre-order.
The Note is on Amazon UK - £339. However they are stating a 1- 3 month delivery. I'm confident that it will be available well before that time slot, as they often state this for newly released goods.

Which is just a sneaky way of saying "10th May, just the same as everybody else", no?

I'm assuming you got the WiFi only version? I'm patiently waiting for the 3G/Phone version to be released in the UK or elsewhere so I can get it through an importer to the U.S. (Los Angeles).
Yes just the white 16gb wifi is all they have....hope you don't have to wait to long
Thanks. We'll see. Unfortunately, Negri Electronics has pushed their "Expected Availability" date for the preorders forward twice already.

An Australian grey importer got the the 3G version in stock yesterday, so probably you'll see other importers get them soon.
Decided to wait further, as Australian versions of the device get 24 months warranty, but if you get an international version, it only has 12 months warranty. Endless waiting!

Does Galaxy Nexus still manufactured?

I bought mine one year ago, and I still see local stores, that sell it, some even didn't drop the price since than, I don't get it? where the hell the get them? or any other old Galaxy like I9000 or I9100?
Most of the ones available around me are remanufactured. There are a few scattered on eBay for BIG $ which is ridiculous. The phone is great though.

Hello there,
Giving that Nexus 4 has been out for a while and that Nexus 5 is just under the horizon, my opinion is that there are no new Galaxy Nexus'es made. That's just why prices of the SH ones are rising.
Just my two cents...

Is the Google Pixel ready for the holidays season

Do you think the the timing is off for the holiday season? Black Friday is the formal kick of to the shipping season and the average consumer will be wobbling into store then. I think most people like to touch and feel a phone before buying it. When do you think the pixel phones will be in Best Buy and Verizon? Do you see this as an issue, given the move from Nexus to Pixel and the fact that their direct competition is already on the shelf.

It may be in AT&T by then.
