Yesterday I went into my local VZW store to look at picking up the Galaxy Nexus. The best price that they could offer me was $249. I knew that I could get it from amazon for $20 less, but today Amazon dropped the price by another $30, so now it's $199.
Amazon Galaxy Nexus
Does anyone know of a better price to get this phone?
I thought it was always $150 at Amazon
It'll be 250 at sprint.
But I'm wait till best buy gets it. $50 ftw

Galaxy Nexus was being sold at US$669 and now it costs US$609 (US$60 less), just US$30 more than the Galaxy S2. The Nexus got cheaper today at Expansys USA.
However the Galaxy S2 is still at the same price of US$579. Wish the S2 to drop in price like the Nexus...
Do you think that the S2 will drop in price to US$499 after the release of S2 Plus which is going to be announced at MWC?
pretty good price drop i still got mine for $560 from daily steals but the s2 is definitely due for a price drop soon, it's been out for a while.

No. Price drops for old technology are completely unheard of. Never happened, never will.
I believe that you're wrong.
If the Galaxy Nexus has dropped its price then the Galaxy S2 will drop its price soon, too.
What if the S2 drops its price just to fake out the Galaxy Nexus and then a few days later after the Galaxy Nexus drops its price the S2 goes back to the original price and the Galaxy Nexus is all

GNexus has been $595.50 shipped at Negri Electronics for a couple weeks now...
And obviously the S2 will get cheaper and cheaper as time goes on.
Depends. Older techs do drop in retail pricing.
The one big exception is Apple products. You always want to time ur apple purchases. Because Apple rarely drops their prices unless they up locally release new product and want to clear the old inventory.
Funny, Canada carries gs 2 and moto raze ask 650 but gn is 600.

Well carrier off contract prices are always inflated.
Oi,
I just have a small question: Is it possible to buy a unlocked GSM Galaxy Nexus (without contract) locally in a store in the usa? My uncle is there for a few days. If so, in wich ones?
Thanks in advance!
(and sorry for my bad english :I)
Tell him to buy it from Google play store, google sells the phone for 400 dollars and 1 day shipment if im right.. Best deal outthere
Galaxy Nexus AOKP m5 Franco kernel m3
I have seen one in a Fry's Electronics store. For $800.
Play store is the way to go.
Sadly he is on a roadtrip, so we need a local store who sells gn's for 400 dollar :<
Local craigslist.

Buy and send to the next town
nope
Go to fry's and make them pricematch either newegg or google themselves. that'd probably be your best bet.
I guess since the Nexus 7 is shipping from the UK's Play Store, the Galaxy Nexus should be too, but I haven't found any pricing information. Can anyone in the UK check this?
Only the Nexus 7 is available under the 'Devices' section in the UK Play store currently.
I'd be interested to see how the price drop would convert into £ too.
Wow, that's just stupid. If they can sell the Nexus 7, they might as well sell the GN as well. Man..
I want to buy a nexus smartphone but confused with S, Q variants of nexus smartphones. Which one will be best to buy???
Nexus Q is not a phone.
Nexus S is ancient.
Your only current phone option is the Galaxy Nexus.

Is galaxy nexus worth buying?
It's really up to you. Rumours are around that the Nexus phone is getting a revamp soon (within the month) however it may or may not be priced at the $350 mark. If I were you, I'd just wait it out a bit and see.

I would rather wait a few weeks for a new Nexus.
I just grabbed a gnex last week. For 349.00 it was a good deal IMO. The hardware is still relevant and pretty snappy.
Not to say I wouldn't grab the next iteration if it was priced right although I believe it will probably be somewhere in the 600 range. Wasn't that the price of the unlocked Google gnex last year?

$349 when it reached U.S. markets. When it was outside U.S. markets it was ~$700 - $649 before it had to be imported internationally.
VZW users got it for $199 on two-years with ~$529ish off contract but is incompatible with GSM networks
Galaxy Nexus will still be relevant after the next Nexus device comes out. The Nexus S is still relevant, it has good developer support.
wait for the new nexus device made by LG, it will be released within a month or two.
If not, the current nexus (Galaxy nexus) is sufficient.
i would probably wait another month or so if/when the new Nexus comes out. If you don't like it, the Galaxy Nexus will be even cheaper at that time.

Rumored that other manufacturers will release their version of a Nexus as well so there won't be just one Nexus device this year but multiple.
Agreed with what MarkGbe says. Galaxy Nexus will go down in price, Nexus S will go even lower (or be discontinued)

Why do you want a U.S. retailer when you are located in India? Not many big known 'retailers' sell GSM Galaxy Nexuses in stores. Maybe the local random shops. They are normally distributed online, but in that case why don't you order it from someone near you or in Europe? Less shipping costs.
Please do some research beforehand as you haven't done much researched before posting this thread thinking that Nexus Q was a phone. We're just here to answer your question but you need to do at least put effort into answering them on your own. If you find it confusing or whatever, then ask. And if any of us helped you out please press the thanks button.
Who knows maybe the current nexus will actually be taken off the market due to the Samsung vs Apple case that keeps going on. Apple has filed a case against the current nexus and the SG3 I believe...& i don't think they will give the new phone a $350 value they will def start it off around $700 get sales and gradually drop it down till the $350 mark as they did with the current..
I don't think it will come out till December anyway (just in time for the holidays) so if you can't wait till then I suggest you just buy this...
Sell your current phone + when the new nexus comes out you can sell this GNex for atleast a $100-$200 which is not bad at all. The previous nex still goes for $100 which is amazing.

OP lives in India not in America. That case will take ages to settle, by the time it finalizes. The next Nexus device will be out done by HTC, LG, Samsung, Motorola and it'll become irrelevant.
It was $700 because it was imported from Europe and had a monopoly, Off-contract in Europe and places were never $700ish. Prices started to stabilize and go for ~$529ish on Newegg at that point and then Google revived the store and sold the GN for $350. Rumored was that LG Nexus is starting out at 8GB, so you're wrong that there won't be a "value" Nexus device.
The difference this time around will be that Google will sell it through their Play Store stabilizing prices from day one. Google wants people to have their Nexus devices, not to make a extreme profit -- hence, $99 Nexus tablet? $199-$249 Nexus 7 tablet with $25 play store credit? they're not that greedy.
& I stand corrected...
but I still do not believe that they will release a 8gb device...If anything that will be a media player? not a phone as Samsung has been doing lately...
You make me feel like I made a bad decision now lol I am suppose to get my nexus in the mail today
I live in India too. You can't use Sprint or Verizon. If you want to buy it, you'll have to buy the unlocked GSM variant from he Google play website. Although this won't be available from India. If you have a friend in the US, ask him to order it for you. That's what I did, and I'm loving it
