If you want top service, order from Expansys. Aside from having a rep on this board who is VERY responsive & helpful (COREY L) they also have a $40 discount coupon 40OFFGNX (that's four-zero-oh) which worked for me as of late last (Thurs) night.
Ordered last night 11PM (PayPal) and it was already picked up by Fedex and scheduled for delivery tomorrow by noon(I paid for SAT delivery).
My guess is if you wait another 2-3 weeks you will see a pretty decent price drop but if you're in a rush I'd say EXPANSYS.
I just sold my T-Mo GSII as well.
Seconded, Expansys
I pre-ordered mine from Expansys and it arrived at my house about 5 days after the release overseas (including Thanksgiving). The transaction was professional and painless.
Yes, it's pricey at the moment, but the price should come down after the festive season.
Failing the announcement of a domestic US GSM version, go with Expansys.
Handtec UK has consistently been $50 cheaper since release. I've picked 2 from them so far. They also have free shipping to USA. Since it is your first Nexus I should point out that any grey market device will have marginal or no warranty service, including expansys us, read the fine print not the ads. Good luck.
Thanks for all the input guys. Yea and I was really wondering too about he whole warranty thing, would there be none since I'm ordering overseas?

I think Negrielectronics.com still has a $40 off "HOLIDAYS" coupon. That makes it about $685, with free shipping.
+1 on expansys.
corey L is the sh!t!
Purchased mine from negrielectronics.com. Great experience.

+1 for Negrielectronics.com . They had the cheapest price when I got mine, free shipping and I literally had it delivered to my house the next day. (Sadly it was a friday and I wasn't home so I had to wait until Monday for it to come around again but that was my bad.)
If you do use Negri, use amazon or google check out to speed things up, people processing credit cards with them have reported delays in the process.
Negri also - best price (after coupon), and shipped quickly. Also, no tax for me!
$685 is pretty good for this level of phone off contract.

I don't think I'll ever use expansys UK again. Mine was faulty on arrival and it took two weeks between reporting it faulty and getting the replacement through. Seemed like forever!!!
I don't know if that's typical for Internet retailers, quick to send but slow to resolve problems. It's all sorted in the end so can't complain but waiting two weeks was torture.
+1 for Expansys, Got mine delivered 2 days after ordering, no problems at all.
NewEgg is selling it for 719.00 right now, NewEgg is always on point, great service and prompt shipping.
Coupon codes available for both...

Ordered from Negri on the 22nd, the coupon was good for $50. My total was $680.50, and they were offering free shipping via FedEx Saver. Its due on the 29th.
I've always used Handtec, but with that coupon, Negri was cheaper.
Just order from Negri, they lower their price+ coupon. Paid $639.50

I think I'm going with negri, I'm looking at 689 with no coupon. That's still not bad. Thanks for all the input guys, really appreciate it.

I sold my T-MO GS2 and bought a galaxy nexus as well. Great decision imo.
I ordered from Negri and it was there in three days. Ordered on Sunday night, got it on Wednesday morning. Got it for 685.
Ohhhh of course a couple days after I order, they lower the price.
Anyway, did you guys get FedEx shipping? Mine was shipped on the 22nd, and still says estimated delivery is the 29th. I was really hoping for like Monday, or Tuesday at the latest...

If you're still looking and depending on how close to the USA/CND border you are you could pick one up from Bell or Virgin off contract. Especially while the US DOllar is stronger. Just my 2cents...
I went to a Verizon store and bought mine for $650 and didn't have to worry about shipping.
Sometimes buying off contract doesn't make sense, can someone explain?
I have a question about buying unsubsidized phones off contract. It makes sense on certain plans, like T-mobile value plans that end up saving you money. However, for the rest of the folks who are on regular plans with Verizon, doesn't it make sense to get the phone subsidized from somewhere cheap like Amazon. I mean you're going to have the phone at least for 6 months, then you can pay the prorated Verizon ETF whenever you want to cancel your contract. Doesn't it come out cheaper? Am I missing something? Are you guys on different Verizon plans?
Has anyone pre ordered from negri electronics? I did about a week ago and I keep hearing they don't have them yet. I'm almost considering canceling my order and placing offer with handtec our summer place that is shipping already.
thoughts?

I was thinking of ordering from Negri too since I have ordered from them in the past and they have been great. But from what they are saying they dont know for sure when they will ship out and how many and what color they will get in.
I ordered from Handtec last night. I am in New York and already got my shipping from fedex will be delivered tomorrow morning.
Give them a try. They are also cheaper then Negri.
How does the warranty work with handtec if shipping to the US.
HTC One X
Thank you for your messages.
The HTC One X should be shipping out to Pre-Orders on 4/6 or 4/7. As of right now we will have only the Black (Grey) color arriving. As of today we are able to fill all current pre-orders this Friday/Saturday. However if you purchase now and we do not receive enough stock to fill your order and we ship next week we will discount your order for you to match any price online* at the current time of shipment. We want you to be first with the product, but if you aren't we want you to save money when buying from us.
Let us know if you wish to cancel, we can do so quickly. Please note that while overseas companies may have a better price, the shipping and import duties and fees often end up being more than if you were to purchase from a US Company. (Plus you run the risk of possible delays due to Customs/FCC).
We want you to be happy, so whatever you need to do in order to accomplish that - please do. We are always here and will do whatever is needed to assist you in your purchase or cancellation.
*We will only match prices of approved online stores/sites.
Great news! Your order has shipped, and should arrive soon. Your credit card has successfully been charged for this order.
Order date: Mar 27, 2012 12:47 AM GMT-03:00

I don't know what is wrong with you or what but you may have a cranial rectum inversion. I don't care if they don't have no control over this. They should be ashamed of themselves for what they did to some people. How would you feel if I own a company and hold your money for 14 days? Yea that's what I thought..
I'm buying the phone in a few days and need advice. What is the best online retailer for buying this phone in the US? The ones I know about are: expansys, negri-electronics, ebay, amazon, and craigslist. I wanted to make sure I got the Taiwan build since a lot of people have given positive feedback on Taiwan builds. Does anyone expect HTC to fix some of the build issues under-the-radar or is it mostly software related. Let me know, thanks.
can't vouch for best. i first ordered from negri last weekend and never received a responding confirmation. i emailed and they said they had no stock and didn't know when new stock would arrive. then i cancelled and they tried to call me to say oh, heavens, they had one, but their free shipping offer did not apply to hawaii, so they would need to charge me $32 more. i said thanks but no thanks. went to expansys and ordered. order got held up a bit because i ordered some items not immediately available. it got straightened out and my order arrived within the week in great condition.
the phone from expansys comes out of taiwan. there's a rumor that the taiwan phones are not exhibiting the same build issues as those from china. i can't say my copy is perfect, because the previous android i had was not very sophisticated, and neither am i when it comes to android. but it doesn't seem to be exhibiting any serious problems . i bought an att micro-sim card off amazon and signed up for att prepaid $2/day unlimited talk/text and added a data package. seems to work in general, but i haven't used it extensively. by the way, the expansys htc came with a sim-card tray opener pin. the amazon micro-sim sold by abe 1-2-3 is a true micro-sim - does not require any cutting down.
I always find the cheapest to be ebay from Hong Kong sellers, can get for $650 AUD
I'm currently visiting Singapore and just picked one up at Sim Lim Square for $722 SGD which is about $600 AUD which in tern is about $600 US?
Thanks guys for the advice. By the way, do you know if it would be cheaper to have it imported from Singapore?
Hello guys,
Do you happen to know a recommended place to buy Trident Kraken from?
I'm getting tired of the eBay sellers which do not offer international shipping (or shipping that costs twice the price of the case itself), and I haven't found many reliable stores that ship them globally for a fair price.
So, got any suggestions?
Perhaps one of Amazon's Worldwide Sites??
Here's a list of them:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?ie=UTF8&docId=487250
Gettin mine tomorrow from Amazon for about $27.
Can't wait!!
Good luck man!!
Sadly, neither of the websites in the Amazon network ship such items to my location (books and CDs are OK, for some unknown reason).
I've ordered from eBay, hope it reaches me. The first attempt was refunded.
Has anyone who pre ordered through T-Mobile with the backorder gotten their phone shipped or received shipping info yet?
I pre ordered kind of late on August 24th, and got notified that it would be backordered with a delivery date of 9/16-10/7, but I'm worried that the shipping estimate may actually end up being in October.
I am on T-Mobile as well, but I ordered through Samsung direct and mine was supposed to be here on 09/14, but it slipped to 09/21 and it looks like it is going to slip again as it has not shipped yet.
I wonder if buying the Unlocked one would have been faster?

Yeah I thought about going the unlocked route as well, but after seeing the issues with activation some people were having I backed off of it. Hopefully we'll get ours before October.
I didn't pre-order due to another issue. I did order on the 2nd and received mine on the 3rd. I got phantom black 256 GB. I know the other colors where on backorder.
I just got off the phone with Samsung, it looks like it will be here on or around the 21st (not telling with FedEx (I HATE FEDEX))...
Im having same issue with samsungs galaxy watch 4. I ordered it weeks ago and the app says will ship week of Sept 13th and then on the website says will arrive by Oct 10th.

The answer is yes. I ordered unlocked through Samsung on 4SEP (USA, 256GB, Black), and mine will be delivered tomorrow.
I ordered two ZF3s about two weeks ago. My T-Mobile order status still says its being processed with a ship date of 9/9-9/13. I wonder when it will ACTUALLY ship.

Smh. I spoke with one of the Tmobile reps on Twitter, and they told me the same thing that shows on my account - estimated delivery date of 9/17 to 10/7. T-Mobile has been dropping the ball on pre orders for the last few years.

Disagree. Last few years? T-Mobile almost always has my annual preorders delivered to me before Samsung's official release dates. This year I got the Watch4 Classic nearly a week before release and the ZF3 on the day of release.
Yikes, glad I never ordered through T-Mobile. The trade in deals were tough to pass up, but I'm not on a Magenta plan so I didn't get the full benefits. Hopefully you guys get yours soon.
I ordered mine from T-Mobile yesterday (19 September) and they told me that it would ship between 27 October and 11 November. I HAVE TO WAIT OVER A MONTH FOR IT TO SHIP!!!!
Ugh. I might just cancel and buy one elsewhere. The only reason I was getting it through T-Mobile was their $1k trade in but the way it works being stretched over 3 years really sucks.
I'm not cancelling my order until I have one in hand. I am also looking around for anyone willing to take my Note 20 Ultra (512GB with 512GB Card) in partial trade for a 512GB ZF3.
