NEGRI DEAL! $685.50 For GSM Nexus!

NegriElectronics has a deal for this weekend to get the Galaxy Nexus for the lowest price I've seen so far, $685.50! Plus, it's free shipping in the US!
I thought I got a deal by ordering for 704ish from them a while back, but this deal is the lowest ever and is only for this weekend. If you were on the fence, now MIGHT be the time to act for the GSM version.
Coupon Code is: VZSucks
It knocks $45 off the price tag!

Good price and negeri, say what you will about them, are shaping up to be a good reseller.

I'm giving this serious consideration...

I'm really tempted to go through with this. I was at Best Buy yesterday talking to one of the Mobile guys. I'm really starting to think there won't be a GSM version available for retail sale in the US. Someone please talk me out of this! I'll will really hit myself if by the end of this month a GSM version is available in Best Buy less than $550. I wanted the 32GB GSM model but I feel like I've waited too long already.
Should I wait until the ides of December and see what happens or jump in on this Negri deal?

There will NOT be a GSM available from best buy by the end of this month. No way.

1000% agree.
Bought mine 3 weeks ago at $750 and haven't doubted it since.
No way I'm going to sit around and wait unit, what, Feb, March, May, ever for a GSM version.
No thanks.
Buy now enjoy now.
Wait and possibly never enjoy.
Easy decision, IMO.

Okay that's all I need! I went through with the order with free ship option to save as much money as possible. Hope it won't take THAT long.
I've already been alerted by my bank about the authorization. I used Amazon Payments.

If I get this phone will my ensurion insurance still protect it? I have a problem with losing phones. Thanks guys

it will not since the phone will be from another country and not incorporated into their system. even then, if they actually would allow it they wouldn't be able to replace it for the same phone.

Good deal!

So I would essentially be screwed if I lost this phone? I am an outdoors man, and somehow lose them.

They charge tax so don't forget to factor that into the equation based on where you are. I got mine from Negri for $705 but after tax it shot up to $764. I was just thankful I saved $35 from a code.
Negri is the way to go... although I've heard mixed stories about the customer service they give but I'd recommend them. I got my phone super quick.

AT&T just passed a locked GSM Nexus through the FCC, (radio hardware lock), so I doubt it.

Yeah I know I got ripped off. If negeri is selling at $685, they are still making a profit, believe you me. And to think I paid $750...Expansys must have made a TON of profit on the units they pushed out just before Thanksgiving.
Oh well. Money. It comes and goes.

Does this phone come unlocked already!? I went to pre-order my own but it says (Verizon) next to it. I just want to make sure I get the unlock version other than the wack a$$ Verizon one. Please let me know.
Thank you

Is this phone worth buying at this point?

Hey guys, i've currently got an HTC Sensation 4G... Now, don't get me wrong.. I LOVE this phone. It's great... However, I am looking to move to a phone that at least has an official JB update on the horizon. (The Sensation will never get official JB) I also like that this phone has the 16gb internal storage, a slightly bigger screen (less resolution though?), and the 1gb ram opposed to the 768mb of the Sensation... Is it worth it at this point to grab this phone for $50?
Thanks everyone for your input!

For 50$? Hell yea it's an improvement over the sensation even if we never get official JB. I'd go for it. But if you're planning on getting a brand new handset just spring for the gsIII. Like I said though, $50 is a steal.

Since your getting a person to buy it from and not signing a contract that is a epic deal for 50$. But if your contract does expire soon I think the new Nexus phone for T-Mobile comes out Nov. 17th if I'm not mistaken? You can save up for that, I doubt it will be above anything like 300$ on release with contract.

It is on contract, it's an upgrade... As far as all of the new phones go.. I really don't need something insane. I just can't deal with the 768mb ram that this phone has, it really cripples it. I'm sure I'll be happy with the SGSII for a while as I planned on having my Sensation for at least another year to year and a half. Also, this phone has a 2mpx ffc whereas the sensation has a stupid 0.3mpx VGA camera. Ugh. Plus, this time next year I'm eligible for an upgrade (this upgrade was done on another line). There are other various improvements that I have noted as well.. NFC support, official jelly bean support next month sometime (If they aren't lying. Heh.) Not to mention, I love the way the white one looks. Hehe.

yeah its worth it

Since it's going to lock you in for 2 years, I would probably get something better if I were you, if the extra $150 or so is not an issue. I don't think you'll be happy with it by the end of two years.
Truthfully I would buy the S3 or Note 2, sell it for $600 and buy the Nexus 4 for $350

Cheapest way to upgrade before being eligible for upgrade?

Hi, just wondering if there are any loopholes that have worked for anyone in the past.
I'm really interested in either the Nexus 4 or Note 2. I love the S2 but I dont have an upgrade until Jan 2014 and these new phones are just so intriguing. I definitely don't want to pay a non contract price for these phones, but was hoping to sell my S2 and use it to buy a new phone at hopefully a good price.
Any advice?

not sure of any loop holes. most companys make sure there are none.
i say sell the s2 and get the n4. with the price being so low its worth it.

I looked up on the sprint buyback program and they'll give you $85 for the e4gt.

Well I have three phones mine wife and daughter wife never likes upgrading so I get her upgrades with mine not cheap but it works

That's at the moment. Look at the Gnex. It was released GSM first then Verizon got it, and then Sprint. I don't think Google is that dumb to cut Verizon from getting the Nexus and Sprint has gotten the other Nexus devices aside from the Nexus One.

I get the distinct impression that future nexuses (nexii?) will be gsm only given the widespread dissatisfaction with the update process on CDMA carriers

When I got my gs2 back in April I wasn't up for my upgrade till mid may. Anyway I brought it to a 3rd party sprint store and told me we could pretend it had water dmg and in that case sprint cuts you a few weeks slack and forks over the upgrade as its cheaper for them then asurian claims sending a new phone....at least that's what my rep said to me... he's a nice guy

I'm not sure there will be one, perhaps just maybe but I highly doubt it as google was left with a bad taste with their experience with Verizon and Sprint.

I love the hardware of my epic touch but I know we can do better in regards of software. Jb leak is proof of that and what is likely to come. However I am getting tired of running gb. Having a nexus 7 tablet doesn't help my case when i get constant updates as soon as good drops new source. I am hoping I can hold out for the jb update or even a newer leak. But if not I would love to find a way to get a sg3 for cheap. And I don't really want to add another line.

I used to always buy my phones out of contract, I would ebay my phone, get paid apply that $ towards my new phone and ship the old one out. I would usually ship the next day so I wasn't holding up my buyer.
These days I just buy from Craigslist. Picked this phone up for 240 around mid summer, I think.

I agree with this, I bought my sgs2 in June for $220 off contract (used). It came in great shape and working perfectly. I'm thinking I'll keep buying phones this way - just wait for them to be ~9 months old and you can get them for the upgrade price. This way if a new phone drops that I just have to have I'm always ready with the upgrade. Also if I somehow kill my current phone I don't have to worry about carrying insurance, just use my upgrade on whatever's out.
The only thing better is direct from Google pricing, which I may switch to but I will loose some coverage in my state by leaving CDMA so I haven't decided on that yet.

On Black Friday you can purchase the SIII for $50. You could definitely buy that, sell it along with the S2 and buy a note.

I've heard that people sold their current phones on Craigslist, used that money towards buying out the rest of their contract then upgrade.
Or sell on Craigslist and use that money towards buying one you want on Craigslist. Either would cost around the same

I wonder what happened to calling the retention center and threatening to leave the sg2 and the countless problems the ICS update I would think would be a great bartering chip to try and get retention to let you upgrade to the sg3 either cheap or for nothing.

Hah, I can assure you, after 20 phone calls, they don't give a **** about their customers.
I've had my account open with sprint since 1991.
There are 5 lines on the account.
They have made ~$50,000 from my family.
Yea, no, I will switch to anything better as soon as possible.

Crazy buy back at phones4u!

Hello all,quick heads up.
I just upgraded to the gs4. I must say it's a proper step forward. Screen is so much nicer to use.
I did the upgrade in phones for you. Moved from Orange to EE. I had 10 or so months left on my contact and the shop gave me £170 for my one x! cash! so I only had to pay a nifty to get the new device and pay the old contract off. I had weak wifi and bluetooth issues and cyanogen 10.1.
I thought it was a good deal.

I think there's one on Swappa right around $325 when I checked a few days ago. Not sure if it sold or not. I'd bet you can get around $300 before they take out their fees. You'll probably be able to get more on Craigslist depending on where you're located.

Don't see them going for a premium price as someone has already said they have a root exploit for 4.4 2 but he won't release it till Aug. So not like the phone is locked down forever. But there are idiots that will always pay more for something

I picked mine up for $350 off Craigslist in LA. They're all going for around $350 here rooted or not. Highest I saw was 360, lowest 300.

Not much since the price of them dropped from $599 to $499. From what I see, an HTC One in good shape, maybe with a few extra accessories, can get you $400 or a little more or a little less, depending on if you have the original box/any scratches/phone and accessories in their packaging. Surprisingly I've seen HTC One Maxxs sell for $450 for ones that are in near perfect shape. With the taxes and fees that ebay and paypal add to the sellers, if you sold an HTC One for $400, you would really only see about $350 of that. I think it's a better deal if you can sell one locally, to either a friend or family member, possibly through friends on Facebook. Something that I am considering doing to my HTC One, so that I can upgrade to the HTC Maxx.
I have an HTC One that was S offed by Sonic with a java card. I have not seen any posted. I imagine that if I labeled it as " Being able to work on almost any carrier." I could probably fetch up to $450 or more for mine. With the right knowledge and understanding on this phone with it being S off / Unlocked / Rooted it really could work on any carrier. straight talk, AT&T, page plus, Viaero, Tmobile, and sprint, since I believe that it is also a worldwide phone that has all of the GSM and CDMA bands inside of it.

I didnt notice modded phones going for more. Thats part of the android experience learning the ins and outs of a new device.
