Lg prices this around 570 euro in most European countries

if thats true i am skipping the n4 and keeping my gnex
It should be possible to place an order somewhere in the UK, because as they have the play store, places such as Carphone warehouse will have similar pricings.
So don't worry. LG will soon enough discover that they cannot possibly expect people to pay twice as much.

Sorry! Devices on Google Play is not available in your country yet.

i'm about to hit the checkout button on expansys-usa. i just don't see a gsm version officially hitting the states until probably february and it'll probably be only 16gb version. what's a tech addict supposed to do?
Do what I did and click Check out.
Give in. I did. We can sell the 16 when the 32 or the SGS3 hits. I was tired of waiting and you only live once. Enjoy!
Just got mine from there and its bad ass my friend. Sorry I can't help you here.

If its something you truly want, and you want it now, you don't really have another option do you?
lmao. some friends you are. if this was a crack pipe, somebody would be lighting the lighter, holding the pipe, holding my head and punching me in the gut.
I was in the same boat. I had the order screen up, staring at the pay button. Finally I just effin pressed Pay now. I sold my GS2 and paid a good chunk more for this phone. It arrived today. It seriously is the most amazing phone I've ever used. I have an iPhone 4 now for work and a GS2 before it for personal. The combo of ICS and this beautiful device just make for an awesome out of box experience. If you really want it, if you keep looking up stuff about it and thinking about it...buy it. You won't regret it.
it doesn't help i've already bought a mhl adapter, 6" rt angle to rt angle 3.5mm cable, screen protector, tpu case for it and an otg cable.
no GSM until February ? Why ffeb? There is not an official release date for the GSM. No one knows if come Monday Google will announce a date.
Youre gonna buy it now for $750 and watch next week its for sale for $550 from Google
Do it.
My GNEX arrived this morning and it's easily the best tech purchase I've made in a long time.

well, canada is unofficially dec. 7. and verizon is unofficially dec. 8. i'm sure verizon has at least a 60 day exclusive on this. i just don't see the u.s. getting any love any sooner because google has failed to give us any details on an unlocked usa version.

I would say your best bet is to at least wait for the release in Canada and then import it from Canada. You'll probably get a better deal that way. The official release date in Canada is Dec.8 and that's just a matter of less than two weeks so I would say wait until then and see if there is any more news on the GSM version in USA, and if not, import it from Canada for a smaller price
EDIT: Actually, either way the unlocked Galaxy Nexus from Bell is $649 without tax so with taxes and duty fees etc. its probably going to amount to the same price. Lol, I guess that was no help after all

Ya importing from the UK is cheaper and you can get it now.
I wish I could talk you out of it.. but after using the device for a few hours, I just can't.
btw, where did you get your OTG adapter? I'm looking for one at a decent price.. hoping to avoid ebay, if possible..

Ok, I'll play devil's advocate for this thread. I happen to be one that really wants this phone as well, however I am going to wait just a little while longer for any rumors that it will be available 'legitimately' in the US for GSM. A few thoughts Im having:
- Warranty. If I were to buy from Negri, Handtec etc, while they most likely would assist in getting my device fixed, it would still take probably 2-6 weeks and 9 months down the road they may not be as helpful to expedite it. Also, they may give you a loaner phone, otherwise you would have to provide that while you're phone is in the shop.
- I have a feeling the US based GSM phones will be $599 for 16gb. While its only $100 less than buying it right now, I figure its worth the small wait.
- While I believe everyone's opinion over this phone, I also wanted to at least see a Verizon version of the device at a Best Buy just to make sure.
I have gone through a lot of android devices lately and hoping to find the right fit for me. Assuming the Nexus is, I hope to own it for at least 18 months. For others, feel free to refute me and maybe I'll be suckered into buying now as well
I'm one of the unlucky Handtec people still waiting on my pre-order and I would still hit the checkout button even with the foreknowledge of this. It's one of the few phones out there where the hardware and software are working together rather than the multitude of phones that are indeed hardware powerhouses but have the OS slapped on seemingly as an afterthought.

Hey guys,
I was thinking about getting the Galaxy Nexus directly from Google through the Play Store. Are there different versions around or will it also work here in Germany?
Thanks!
Yes its the same. It's unlocked and will work anywhere in the world. The Play Store only ships to the US though. Have to buy from a different importer, or from a phone shop in Germany.
There's nothing special about the Play Store version though... it just has Google Wallet preloaded, that's it.
Alright, thanks! I have an American friend who would get me one.

The question is, why would you go through all that trouble? It's not like it's cheaper. If customs opens the package and that's very likely, it'll end up costing you even more than in any local MediaMarkt who are selling them for around 360€.

Its gonna be more expensive to have them buy it in the US + tax + shipping, then pay to ship it to you + customs (potentially).
Just buy it directly and have it shipped to Germany.

Well, right now there is no better price than buying it in the U.S. and importing it, in my opinion. The phone will be about $380 including tax and shipping. This is 310 Euros. Tax for delivery to Germany will be about 40 Euros. So it is 350 Euros effectively.
I can't find any store that sells the Nexus for this price in Germany right now. Do you?
And which U.S. store is selling the Nexus at a comparable price that will ship to Germany?

Hi,
I am ordering yet another gnex. Got the docomo version over a month ago from negri for 460. Has been great and gave it to my mom who lost her iphone
I want to order from google play but in terms of final price, due to taxes and shipping, its about 40$ more than the one on expansys and supposedly the expansys one is from the UK with yakju build. So I don't see why I would go with the google play version since its exactly the same basically and expansys supposedly is very good with warranty support.
Part of me wants to order from google to show support for the direct sales and also for US warranty though.
Anything I'm not thinking of?

In my opinion, I support direct store for US warranty. I have heard expansys sends warranty phones back to UK for repair. It is going to take weeks vs. 2 days shipping to U.S. repair center. In addition, it's going to be easier for you to claim extend warranty through various cards.
I went with google play just for the piece of mind of having the US warranty.
Plus like you said, I want to support direct sales of devices in the US, hopefully this will be a trend so we do not keep getting raped by our carriers.
Yeah, the mobile activist in me wants to get it from google play, but the businessman in me says get whats cheaper. In all honesty, I am not really worried about the warranty issue. Its more the idea of supporting the contract-free thing. But at the same time, it feels weird giving a "donation" to a corporation, haha.

Go with Google Play. They just got raped by XDA returning 10 million purple screen phones in 1 week.
If I had the choice I'd go with Google, that way you know you can guarantee it being a yakju build and (most likely) better customer support if the phone were to go bad for whatever reason.
Go w/ Google Play. If you actually do get a lemon / have problems down the line, you will be very thankful, trust me.

What do you mean purple screens? I saw something about that but does that have to do with a large percentage of the phones that google is selling directly in the US? Or is it just a few? And in any case, super amoleds just have wierd colors. You either love or hate it.
Thanks for everyone's opinions. I think I will just go with google, put my money where my mouth is.

I meant that Google probably lost whatever margin they had on the Nexus by paying for overnight shipping on all those "defective" phones (not sure if they had to pay Samsung for returning all those opened units), so they probably need your donation.
That said, it also illustrates what that extra $45 will get you (excellent support, free shipping, etc.), especially if you plan on getting 3rd party insurance/warranty which can cost you up to $100-$200.
So that batch with screen issues has been resolved by now?
I would go with Google Play. You can get a SquareTrade or ZaggSafe or whatever 3rd party warranty service you want with it. You can't if you order from Expansys. I ordered mine from Expansys and I'm very happy with the phone, minus the lack of extended warranty, but I ordered my wife one from Google and her screen is a little better than mine. When comparing the two, mine has a very very slight yellow tint to it, it's very slight and not really an issue, but side by side, it is noticeable.
Or have a buddy from a state that doesn't have sales tax (i.e. Oregon) and have them buy through the Play store then ship it to you. saves about 40 bucks in tax.
But either way I don't mind paying the extra for the US warranty. I'll never know when it'll save my ass. Good luck.
Or you could order from Negri.

$412.50, no tax, full warranty. This one isn't the Docomo version I don't think.
This thread makes me wonder now. I was about to pull the trigger on Google Play, but the white one on eBay can be purchased for $470 including shipping. Hmmm $440 for the gray, or $470 for the white?

Definitely from the Play Store, can't beat the 2 day shipping from UPS. Also, direct sales from Google will definitely keep the unlocked phones coming, and tell the carriers to **** off with the BS rates/contract prices.

Hey pals, I'm traveling to Germany late this month and I'm eager to buy a Gnex. I own a Xperia X8 so I think it will be a great improvement!
I've been searching Amazon.de and Expansys.de among others and the price is about €380-390. I want an unlocked cell phone to work in Brazil.
Where or which store would be a good place to buy a Gnex in Stuttgart?
Thanks!

Well, buy one from a T-Mobile shop, and unlock it yourself... lolz... Or, go to an E+, base, Congstar, Vodafone, O2, Debitel and what ever shop, you get unlocked ones everywhere, dude...
Mine's unlocked, contract, German Telekom
You can get one at "Media Markt" in Stuttgart for ~350€.
Saturn also sell Galaxy Nexus', but I'm not sure about their prices.
Just go to some electronic stores in Stuttgart and look around.
Try a T-Mobile store.

Oh, yes... Don't buy it at Media-Markt, they are extremely expensive... I know this sounds wierd, but Saturn and Media-Markt may be the same company, but Saturn is much cheaper... Then again, Media-Markt has got a Debitel isle in-store...
I'd still go for the T-shop though...

Thank you for the answer. I just saw at t-mobile.de site that the Galaxy Nexus without contract it at 529,95€
That's too much expensive!
Ive been planning an upgrade from SGSAdvance to GNexus. So there's an online internet shop selling galaxy nexus for a very low price and as for the shop itself i can say that it is a trustworthy shop. I doubt that this phone might cause some problem. So what do you think? I dont know if im making a good decision or not. I need your opinions guys. Btw they told me that it is already F.Unlock. I need your opinions asap. Thanks
