[Q] White Galaxy Nexus in Australia?

hi there,
i was wondering if any local store like dicksmith is selling the white version of the gnex? since i am travelling through the continent, buying the beauty online is not the best option.
i know that dicksmith and harvey norman have the silver edition, but could not find any store with the white..

I know a friend of mine has a white Galaxy Nexus but I'm pretty sure he did not buy it outright, he got it from a plan. I don't think any actual stores have the white edition for sale (outright that is). Well at least, I don't seem to see it.

too bad, thats what i thought. maybe i'll buy it online and have it sent to some hotel or so..

Cheap Galaxy Nexus?

Where can i pick up a really cheap used galaxy nexus??
I have an HTC sensation atm running cm9 and i hate the phone, its got such a bad screen and battery life is awful. AOSP also doesnt run as well on the sensation as it does on a nexus, and htc sense is a load of crap.
Thanks for any replies.

I live in UK countryside, had a browse but no one seems to be selling one anywhere near me. I would get it posted or shipped from US but u can never trust people on craigs list can u...

CL is your best bet but nobody will probably make a deal from country to country.

I just bought one from Google Play for $350. Really good price considering its a Nexus device.

If you are asked to ship a item on Craigslist its a scam 10/10 times. Possibly eBay then? But it seems like all phones are overpriced on eBay but it might be worth a look.

Does the UK give the option to buy a Nexus from the Play Store?

I'm not sure if Swappa is available in the UK, but it is an excellent place to shop for used devices.
Most even come prerooted or with custom recoveries.

HTC trade up price for GNex

One word.... HTC must be CRAZY!

mine was offered $179

GSM is getting 170'

Smh...regardless I can get $250-$300 on Craigslist.. I know I know ..duh. But not everyone will know that.

Why would HTC pay you market value for a phone when they make phones? The guy on craigslist who would buy your phone doesnt have millions of phones at their disposal.
With that in mind, its a generous offer.

haha you can never win with those guys!

This would be worthwhile for someone who doesn't want to deal with people on craigslist. I can see why some would not. I don't have time to answer 50 emails all asking if I'll take $150 for my immaculate-condition phone that is worth much more.
Luckily I can ask my wife to handle it usually but not everyone can.

Really don't understand that's not a bad price. Unless you thought HTC was going to buy a old used phone for five hundred then sell it for six hundred. That would never work

What does this mean ?

CDMA phones for you. Lose value so much quicker. My GSM was $175 offered from HTC.

That is a solid price. GSM won't fetch much more than $200 since you can get a new one for $350

Reminds of the gamefly commercial....when people are trying to trade in $60 games and are only able to get $9 lol

Hey, I was wondering, what does HTC do with the phones they get from the trade in program? How do they benefit?
Sent from my DROID RAZR

that is a fair price. I wouldn't pay more than 175 on cl for a gsm or cdma. nexus has never retained value. People seem to want them more when they are older because of os updates.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

For what it's worth, my GSM GNex will get me $170. My brand new HTC One X (AT&T)? $175 lol

Best Buy Trade-In is offering $356 for an unlocked GSM Galaxy Nexus in mint condition. Since mine hasn't been seeing much use lately (the GS3 is taking up most of my time), I'm considering taking advantage of this.

They are selling on eBay for around 250

Where to buy an Unlocked GNote 2 in USA?

I'm planning on buying the GNote 2 unlocked to use on Straight Talk / Prepaid and am wondering where I should purchase it. I know Amazon usually sells unlocked phones, but I'm not sure how early they offer them.
Does Amazon sell unlocked phones right when they come out?
I would prefer to purchase the phone from Amazon or some other reputable seller. I'd hate to lose $700+ to some no name company.
Where did you USA users purchase / Preorder your GNote 2 from?
This is the first time I'm purchasing an expensive phone online.
Does anyone have any words of wisdom?

Like I recommend to anybody else, hamdtec is hands down the best. I live in Maryland, they are based in the UK, I bought a Galaxy s3 from them and an HTC one x. They ship overnight ( even though its says 1-4 days shipping on their site) and you can chat with them anytime they are open, or reply by email and they will email you right back. I can't recommend them enough, seriously.

Depends whether you are buying or selling

I bought mine new for $150 (in Canada) under a year ago. I sold it this weekend for $100. Rooted and carrier unlocked.
I have an acquaintance here on xda that sold his for 90€
Hope that helps
