Official XOOM Keyboard on sale...

I just went to a Verizon store to get the XOOM keyboard and it was 59.99 rather than the 79.99 they advertise and the 69.99 at bestbuy and walmart...

The $79.99 is the sticker price. $59.99 is after a 25% discount. I got my keyboard from the verizon store a few days ago and it's still $79.99. I got it for the lower price because my work has a corporate discount with verizon.
The normal price is still $79.99 which is $10 more than anywhere else.

you may be right, they asked me my phone # and our account gets I think 20% off from work.... either way the keyboard is AWESOME.
I had a MAC keyboard on my gtab and had to run a script everytime to get it to connect and then it was flakey, this is awesome

saw it for
$62.99 on Amazon (no tax and free 2-day shipping for prime). I don't bother with retail stores anymore unless I absolutely have to.

The standard corporate discount is 25% off on accessories which is what would make $79.99 go down to $59.99. The keyboard is pretty awesome indeed. I love the fact that I can also use it with my xperia x10 and even a pc if I wanted to. The messaging button on it doesn't do anything with the xoom as far as I know and it doesn't work quite right on the x10 either. I think that's probably because it was made mainly for the Atrix and then the Xoom.

That's pretty much what I paid when I got it from Verizon after taxes, so for anyone without a discount through them this is the best offer I've seen so far. The cheapest I've seen it go for in retail is $69.99 and you still have to pay taxes.

just got mine today. I love it. Makes typing so much faster, but now i feel like i have a laptop.

Death to local businesses? lol

I think Im going to have to go with Amazon on this one.

Newegg has Unlocked Galaxy Nexus for $699 with coupons and cashback opportunities

Newegg has the Unlocked GSM Galaxy nexus for $699, brand new:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...tion&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-cables-_-na-_-na
You can get 2.6% cashback from ebates.com
Then you can get whatever cashback from the credit card you use (for me, its 1.25% from american express, who also doubles the mfg warranty for a year)
If you bought the Google offers for Newegg, itd be another $40 off ($20 for $40 off newegg)
Newegg also has $10 off $50 "new" customers:
http://promotions.newegg.com/nepro/newcustomer050611/index.html
So, for me:
$699 - $40 coupon - $10 promo code = $650 - 2.6% ($17) - 1.25% ($8) = $625 + $20 for the cost of the $40 coupon = $645, cheapest I've seen for a brand new Galaxy Nexus with free 2-day shipping from shoprunner, free regular ground shipping if you dont have shoprunner.

Wow, that is a good find. It is too bad they did not have it last week when i ordered my phone somewhere else.

Bought it 12/02/2011... got it refunded to 699.99 so I couldnt use coupons to get it lower i still will use charlie's saying "WINNING!"

Is the phone worth getting at $650 or are we better off waiting 1 month and getting it for $600.

seriously though, who'd want to dish out that much just for 16GB?...
unless you have a serious hard on for Samsung or unlimited data & all your media is in "the cloud" you'd be insane to spend that kind of money.
of course, this is coming from the guy who spent $800 on a comic book(Incredible Hulk #181)

I'm waiting until it drops down to 550.00. Right now you are paying a premium to be one of the first to have the phone.

I really want to try out the nexus but its hard for me to give up my motorola atrix 2 since I paid pretty much $340 for it brand new and thats including brand new HD dock, car dock, battery dock, 6 extra batteries, atrix 1 laptop dock, motorola extended battery.
So for over half the cost of the nexus, I bought a fully loaded motorola atrix 2 with all the trimmings.

Well, I personally dislike Samsung and AMOLED, but almost every review out there deems this the best Android phone, if not, the best smartphone out.
I do have unlimited data and all my music is on Google Music, so any space on the phone will be for movies or game downloads.

650 isnt bad, i couldnt wait so i ended up ordering it on ebay for 730, too bad it wasnt in stock at new egg at the time.

also, don't forget that this phone will not have any manufacturer warranty, unlike if you bought it from expansys or negri. I rather have the peace of mind, that's why I bought it from expansys.

where did you get this information?

Newegg has now soldout. That was fast right?
If you use bigcrumbs.com to shop newegg it says you can get up to 4.8% cashback. But if you go to terms it says 4.8% cashback apply for marketplace items only. Is galaxy nexus under the marketplace category?

Too bad, already got mine from handtec and got it today, $690. I wonder which build they are selling.

Advice needed, where should I order my GN from?

So I habe a T-Mo GSII and I want to order a Galaxy Nexus, this'll be my first Nexus phone. I've been looking around the forums and there's different sites people have usied to order one. Any personal opinions on which is the best place to order from? Thank you in advance.

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.
Sent from my GSM Galaxy Nexus on TMoUS using Tapatalk

+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 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?

Lets Talk - Note 2 for 206.99

Just ordered my Note 2 from LetsTalk.com for 206.99
They have a sale on it for 229.99 until 12/31
Plus I added a coupon code at checkout for 10% off which was another -23.00
For a total of 206.99
The coupon code is: TALK4TEN
Also my upgrade isn't available until 1/1/13, but I was able to have my order placed on hold until then for the same price, just had to chat with a rep.

Amazon Wireless $149.99 with a new 2 year contract. They did had it for $99 last week.

Currently it's on backorder 1-2 weeks with amazon. That price is only for new lines, not upgrades, upgrades is still 199.99. LetsTalk has it in stock. Either way, still a much better price than through sprint.

Also no tax for a lot of states, which is a savings of another $60~ish for most states, as new lines and upgrades tend to charge the tax on the retail price of the device.

It may say backorder but amazon usually ships within 3 to 4 days, on top of that bb will price match online retailers and to me getting it locally is always better. Also I've had good experience with geek squad warranty.

best buy will price match amazon wireless. I got my phone from best buy last week. I had a $100 gift card i wanted to use. They priced matched the upgrade price of 199.99. after the gift card it was about 112 out the door. Cant beat that price for a new note 2.

Like its been said before, even with their expected dates being couple weeks they usually ship within couple days. Plenty of people have reported this on several forums. Plus you can always check if your local bb will price match the new price on a renewal something that a lot of bb stores have been matching.

Huge Moto 360 Sale for 179 at Amazon and Best Buy

This is the link on Slickdeals. Personally, I want to wait for the newer one, which is likely why they're having this on sale in the first place, but this is super tempting. If anyone wants to take advantage of this deal, here you go! It's taking me all of my self-control to not make the purchase.

I bought one at this price today. I had one I (steel band) I paid $299 for and returned. Couldn't stomach the price for an accessory. But $179 sealed the deal for me.

I checked the date on my receipt, was hoping I could get a price match. Sadly, it's been 35 days

Picked one up today. 179.00 crazy they had open box 360 same style not the steel for 224.00 that makes no sense

Same deal here, metal band, plus student discount, plus, a few giftcards with some lingering balances. Got the metal band for $170, finally pulled the trigger.

If you guys checked the slickdeals thread... You can get a ZTE Zinger ($40) + Moto360 and get an additional $100 off. I used that and the $25 student coupon. Came down to $102 ish w/ tax and used a gift card that was laying around. Dropped it to a grand total of $77 out the door.

I was bought 229 dollars last week at amazon

You think they will let you return the zinger? that would be hilarious if they accepted that return. Let us know how that goes.

The fine print on the sale says "Both items must be returned and package savings adjusted if either product is returned, additional savings will be nullified." So good luck.

Several people over on Slick Deals have confirmed they have returned their cheap android phones for a refund without a problem. They've also posted receipts, I think the only reason it works is because you don't get a discount on the phone all the discounts are listed under the watch. So unless you returned the watch there's nothing to charge...

Oh nice!

Exactly what I did. Around $102 out the door. Also, doing the Verizon Trade-In deal on the ZTE Zinger that will give me a $100 VZW credit that I can swap for cash with my parents. So in the end, the Moto 360 only cost me like $2!!! :good:
