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

I'm Willing to Buy Your Upgrade

You're basically asking for someone to pay monthly fees for your phone to be subsidized which isn't going to happen without you paying substantially more than the upgrade price to cover that.

Why should we help you out? You're asking us to use our upgrade so you can get a new phone?! GTFO you cheap A$$ [email protected]#$%*
I'm sorry OP, but if you really want something in life, you've got to work hard for it.

You're only going to save a little money at best. I have a line that's eligible for upgrade but it doesn't have a data plan. So if you're gonna pay for the monthly data plan for 2 years which is 10 extra per month its yours for $550. (240 for the data plan, 200 for the phone through target 100 for the upgrade fees and tax and my time etc)

I do. What you looking to spend on it?

Wait a few months. I got my GS2 off craigslist from a guy who had a 4 line account. He upgraded all 4 lines to GS2's. Kept 2 for him and his wife and then sold the other 2 for $380 each. That covered the cost of all the upgrades. The GS3 costs a little bit more than the GS2 did, but you will start seeing them for reasonable prices on CL.

OP is crazy. Seriously.

Lmao I'm selling an Htc one S if you want to buy that.

What you are expecting people to do is very selfish on your part. No one is going to lose money for a complete stranger so they can have a new luxury phone.

Sell you mine for $300.
Then ill pull a craigslist move and claim it stolen, IMEI will be blocked then i get another one for free...
PM for details.. :fingers-crossed:

Sprint wont do nothing but you could, sell the GS3 on Ebay and pay the difference on the Note

I did the same. Luckily I had an upgrade available for one of the lines on my account. Just sold the S3 and more than covered the upgrade cost.

Same here, but I sold mine over a month ago.

Yeah, just sell the SG III on ebay for like $350 or $400 and then your getting the Note for the upgrade price.

You have a trial period with sprint of 14 days I believe so you could exchange it within that time. I almost jumped ship and got the s3 as well, but research showed me the note 2 was coming a month later.

yeah i thought that was all i could do, worth a shot thos eh? really want the note. that thing kicks ass.

Will other stores carry the note ii?

I'm able to upgrade on December 1st and was wondering if there will be any other places to buy the note from. Black Friday is coming soon and if stores like amazon carry it I'm sure they'll dampen the $300 price a bit, but if it's only available on sprint and best buy it doesn't look like it will happen.

You can buy it from Wirefly and other online retailers right now for a discounted price.
If you mean brick and Mortar stores, Radioshack should be selling (On their website) and maybe WalMart too.

It's great that there are other carriers. I think I'll buy black friday. Does anyone know how long you have until you can activate the phone? My upgrade is available December 1. I was wondering if it's possible to buy the phone and wait a week before activating it. When I first signed up for sprint I know it was about 2 weeks after receiving my phone from amazon, I'm not sure if what the policy is with other stores and upgrades though.

Best Buy should be carrying it soon as well. They just got in the AT&T variant today.

It's a link to Wirefly that is technically designated for Friends and Family of Simplexity employees. But the link has been easily accessed by the public for some time now. I bought my last 2 phones from that link, including my Note II that I just ordered this weekend.
Just do a Google search for Wirefly Friends and Family.

Our local best buy said they would price match the wirefly friends and family price. ymmv. radioshack is supposed to have it for 249.99, but our local store doesnt have any stock yet.

Need Advice

I currently have the sgs3 and I need to get my wife a new phone. I don't have any upgrades available on my tmob account right now, so I would be paying full price if I wanted to get her a new phone. I have a friend who works at tmobile who said he/she could get me a NIB Galaxy Note II for $450. I want to know your thoughts on if this is a good deal or not. Obviously I know it's a better deal than paying full price. But I want to know if you think it's good enough to upgrade from my sgs3 or not? My wife could care less, as long as she can text and surf Facebook, she's contempt. Btw, she has the HTC MyTouch 4g.

If I could get another for $450, i'd jump on it!

Off contract for $450? Either stolen or... I dunno. Some crazy bending of a rule. If it's too good to be true (this is most likely) than it prolly is.
