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.

ok so i ready to jump from sprint to verizon for the first time after 5 years with sprint, cant take there slow speed around my town anymore,
anyways whats the best price match i can do in whatever store with the lowest price, been searching online etc and only see walmart being the lowest, 249,
but does price match can be used with an online price or i have to bring a catalog with me never done this before?
please help i got a budget for 250 for my christmas gift and this is it , lol
play with one and its sick as phone and verizon speeds aaround here is fasssttt...
cant do the amazon price or letstalk its to backorder lol.
I bought mine at Best Buy, they did price match Radio Shack's $239 online price. The only reason I bought at Best Buy was I had $100 gift card.
I got mine at verizonwireless.com for 250, but i think although I did an early upgrade i still got a instant discount of 50.00.
Does Amazon still have the $150 for new accounts?
Cause that's where you should go.
Got mine from fry's electronics for $150. I had them price match amazon.
Best buy matched amazon's price $150 but still had to pay full price tax (about $50)

you lucked out there. normally if a BB manager is around they'll say "we only match stores prices. not online"...
if that ever happens you just say 'thank you' and either go to another BB or try again when said manager isn't around.

Thats why you never buy from VZW directly. You can ALWAYS find phones cheaper from retailers.
Hello, I just want to know whether I can use foreign carrier's UIM card when I travel?
I Bought Mine For $200 Bucks A Month Ago :\ Damn.. Oh Well Haha
Couldn't pass up this deal either. Guess its bye bye tmobile. I will miss there plan pricing but couldn't resist the 99 price tag for this phone.

As soon as Nexus came out it was $150 bucks at Amazon for brief period.....then jumped to $200

Seems like Amazon says everything's an "exceptional circumstance", except they keep giving them. I think they want to just try and make it sound like they don't give handouts regularly.
Why did I click on this post?? Got mine 1/25 and paid 300!! I'm feeling kinda sick...

A few online retailers have had them for $229ish for the last couple weeks. I lucked out and got mine for $125 from LetsTalk on launch day, shipped within 4 days.
Amazon refunded my dad $129 from the $229 price. He bought on the 15th but backorder caused it to not arrive until two days ago. He was happy I pointed that out to him.

Well you've been able to buy this for well under $300 from several retailers for over a month now... so...
Good deal. I was going to get it from Amazon but they were out of stock and I didn't want to wait. No remorse, just a bit sore on the back side.
im buying the phone for 150 bucks (used), i really want an android phone, so, do you think its a good offer?
That's a bit overpriced for the Incredible; I found better prices on Swappa, for instance:

Agreed 150 is a bit pricey for an almost 2 year old phone.

Agreed. If you're on a tight budget, it's one of the better cheap android phones on Verizon.
HTC Incredible sells used for $59.99 on Cowboom. It's a respectable company, a subsidy of Best Buy, and returns have free shipping. Condition of the phone varies, but you'll find everything from brand-new to well-used, with new stock coming in every day. I'm not allowed to post links, so please Google it yourself.
Yeah $150 is too much. Maybe for the DINC 2...
That is pricey.
I was going to list two for 70 bucks a piece and thought even that might be pricey.
Check out Ebay if you're looking for a used device. I did a quick search and found many under the $150 price point you're considering.
Just one of many example. www [dot] ebay [dot]com/itm/HTC-Droid-Incredible-8GB-Black-Verizon-Smartphone-/300663182092?pt=Cell_Phones&hash=item4600ec130c#ht_632wt_1139
Buy It Now Price: $99
Bidding Price: $49
I definitely wouldn't take that deal. But, I would certainly get a Dinc, I got mine when it first came out and have been loving it everyday since. I was thinking of moving to a G.Nexus but recently flashed a ICS ROM so I don't expect to make a switch anytime soon
What is the cheapest anyone has gotten the Note2 for and , where could i find it for the cheapest price?
mods* if this doesnt belong here please just move it, or if its already been asked please link me to that thread
For me, Craigslist or Ebay.. But Craigslist is really really.. It's 50/50. I would rather pay more and just buy at a retail store or someyhing. So many people getting their phone's IMEI blocked after buying from CL and stuff. Try Swappa

+1 for swappa. I bought a TMobile 7.0+ and an i717 off there with no issues. I'm looking for a white collar collar job this fall when I finish working beach volleyball and I'll probably be buying a Note 2 off there.
I've bought a couple on local craigslist for $400 in like new condition. They do pop up from time to time. It seems the going rate in the Ventura area is $475. I stumbled across a Verizon one for $350. It had chewed up chrome bezel and battery door. I spent $25 on replacing them and got $500 for it. So don't be afraid of body damage as long as the glass is in good shape.

been looking and have found some a lil bit lower.. im actually looking at two right now
1st) is a Sprint Gnote2 already flashed to pageplus ( which is what i would do with it if i get it anyways) for $220
2nd) is Tmobile Gnote 2 clean imei for $300
cant decide
one hand one is cheaper and pageplus works off verizon towers which would give me good reception wherever i am but fastest data speed is 2mb down .. pageplus plan for $70 with 5gb data is the plan i would get on this...
the tmobile is more expensive , i would get the $70 plan have unlimited data but some complain about call quality and coverage and i use phone for work so not sure... tmobile data would obviously be alot faster and you could talk and surf and the same time which is not a requirement but a plus..
still trying to decide ...aaarrggghhh
Check Amazon every once in a while for deals through personal sellers. For ex. I got a brand new unopened and unlocked iPhone 5 for $480 shipped about 3 months after release just because of how cheap it was.. Used it for 3weeks or so and turned around and still sold it for 788 on ebay

That doesnt make sense to me. Why would people pay more than the retail price for a used phone? People on ebay are crazy

I do agree that some people do crazy things on ebay especially.
I have seen crazy seller too. As in listing for used s3 starting at
899.00
But to each is his own.
I got my note2 on ebay for 435.00 includ shipping.
But I had to hunt for it almost 6 month.
I got my note 2 for tmobile from wirefly. com for 300 but had to sign a new contract

Anything on Craigslist/ Ebay/ Amazon for really cheap- Less than $400 or so, I would consider suspicious. Especially the ones that look really new. Some people claim on insurance and the one they are selling you is the one they probably got off of insurance by ripping someone else off. Ebay is a little better because they have buyer protection- but still, it's only 30 days and the original owner can report lost/stolen, claim insurance after 30 day period.
Bought a Note 2 for $500 brand new and a week later, got it blocked.
I have heard that if you meet with the seller at a Tmobile store, they'll be able to switch over the IMEI- but make sure it's not on a payment plan or you'll be screwed even if you switch over the IMEI..
