Hey guys...
So I'm coming to London for one day tomorrow... and I need to pick up an unlocked Galaxy Nexus. What's my cheapest option for picking one up in a store? Thanks!
Try a Three store, they have the GN on prepay for £499. It should be unlocked but ask the guys in the store to confirm this for you.

Try CEX as well. Grade A (used, but most likely unused due to the recent release) are going for around £450. Includes warranty etc.

Try vodafone store. They were selling for £425 unlocked sim free. A few members on xda got the deal.
Not sure if they are still doing that. Worth a try

The Vodafone store told me they never sold it unlocked outright. They referred me to Carphone who as it turned out, sells it for 515 GBP (taxes included). That's more than $800. Any place in London selling it for less?
Thought I'd post this for people still wanting a GSM Galaxy Nexus. If I had not bought a Verizon one I would have bought the GSM version.

Daily Steals/Ice Monkey must have bought a bit stock of these things, they have them on sale every week.
Holy that is quite the deal they are offering. If I didnt have my nexus right now I would consider these deals they are offering.
THis is brand new? And is the site reputable? EDIT: Condition is new!
Anyone ever order from them?
Backstory: I had my NExus S stolen (pick pocketed on a crowded train. Didn't feel a thing. Was a very sad day) and I'm thinking of getting GN unlocked.
This may be the way...
Got my white SGN from ice monkey.
The seal was broken but nothing was missing. It comes with European round plugs and Polish instructions.
I just use one of my many ac to usb bricks to charge the phone. .
The are legit.

How do I choose the white one? There doesn't seem to be an option on the site...

well the title of the item says: "UNLOCKED Samsung I9250 Galaxy Nexus 16GB (Black)" So I'm assuming there's no color choice. They're just re-using the stock photo from previous sales that had white/black options available.
Okay thanks. Gonna pull the trigger!

You won't be disappointed. I got mine delivered to me in a day. I live in philly and they ship from Brooklyn so that's why. But one day is insane. Also, my seal wasn't broken. European charger, but customer service was nice enough to mail me a US adapter for free.

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

If you can wait for the new Nexus from lg, it is much more future proof and same price as gnex on Google store. Unless of course the gnex you're buying is a real steal.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Yes it is a real steal. The price of this phone is only 15.5k here phil. Am i gonna have a problem because this phone came from hongkong?

agree with this but... if the gnex you are getting is really cheap.. i would say get it and then when the n4 is out you can either sell it and buy that or keep the gnex
I guess youre right. Any idea when will n4 release? And in what price? Thanks!

i don't think you'll have any problems with that Gnex, unless it's a Verizon/Sprint model. Otherwise, all Gnex' are essentially the same. I personally know someone who bought the Japan version (SC-04D) but is using it like it's the internation i9250 model with no glitches whatsoever

Thats what im talking about. The glitches, im afraid i might encounter problems when it comes to the country where gn4 came from and at the same time it is a lot of money though and im just 18yrs old. It is hard for me to earn such vig money

yeah i converted my japanese gnex to become the international.. and it works perfectly
I am also from the Philippines and also bought my gnex from an online store there. Be careful though because when I bought mine last May I had a problem with my first local online store (found out that they were selling software unlock gnex) and had to refund. Found out later that the second online store were i bought mine was better and trusted. Buy from the store located in binondo.

do you have play store in your country? if you dont i would recommend you buy the gnex, the price of the n4 in countries without play store is too high

Hi all,
I am planning to buy either a 4G or 3G version of the Galaxy note 2.
I live on brisbane, QLD, Australia.
I have heard some bad story's about mobicity and there warranty service.
I am also moving back to England some time in the next 6 months or so, so i need a warranty service which would still cover me in England (or one where I can just post the phone back to Australia and get it repaired by the warranty).
Can anyone recommend where is the best place to purchase this phone here?.
I don't want to pay more then about $680 for it.
If the Australian release date of the last note is anything to go by, it doesn't seem Samsung will release it anytime soon here.
Thanks
Cheers
Corey

Hey mate,
I'm from the coast and bought my 3g version from Kogan.com.au
I paid $660 including shipping and comes with one year warranty plus option to buy extended warranty.
comes with registered shipping and took a week to get to me.
otherwise expansys has it as well.
but I can't fault Kogan at all

Hi mate
I bought my gn2 from kogan recently. Arrived in a week's time. N they are the cheapest I think. $600 n they're having a free shipping offer for this weekend as well. Kogan also sell in UK so they might be able to honour the warranty there as well or you can always send it back to Australia for the same.
My gn2 is made for France according to the box. So if you also get something similar ie made for Europe - you might also be able to get warranty from Samsung if you are in Europe
Let me know if you have any questions.
Oh n by the way it's an excellent phone. I'm loving it.

Expansys had one shipped to me within 2 days from Hong Kong. It was on the jet before I went to bed Australian time even.
I got mine from Unique Mobiles, arrived within 4 business days.

I got mine first week of release from Handtec UK. It was here on Sunny Coast in 3 or 4 days (can't remember) but that will solve your warranty issues too.

+1 for uniquemobiles. I also received it in 4 working days.
Since you're from Australia, I would suggest that you keep an eye out on the whirlpool thread "Samsung Galaxy Note 2 - Where to buy".
You'll be able to see other people's experiences with certain sites, and be updated on the best price available.
It's launching in Oz carriers today, isn't it? Or at least the launch event. One or the two.

So..who all are looking to buy this in India? I'm thinking of getting one using Google Play Store and HopShopGo this or the next week, 32GB version should cost about ~350$ by my calculations (270$ + 16.5% Customs + 25$ HopShopGo shipping).
Just as a note, I am not looking into selling or buying for others, just asking for people who are looking to do same as me
Available on Ebay
The16 gigs model is listed on Ebay already. For 19900/- with free shipping from US. http://www.ebay.in/itm/Google-Nexus...t=IN_iPads_Tablets&hash=item1c3551d6e9&_uhb=1

hey guys, is $229 for the 16 gig model the before tax or after tax cost of the Nexus 7 in USA ? I just wanted to know the exact price difference in ordering from Ebay vis-a-vis having someone get it from US...
Do you get india warranty when u buy from ebay or amazon?
Hey people, I ordered a nexus 7 16gb wifi only, on 2nd august, and it'd be arriving either tomorrow or day after tomorrow.
There's this seller called TabIndia on eBay.
I got it for 17500/- ($288) which is the cheapest you can get. The seller is trusted, and really nice to talk to. For getting a discount of 1500 (instead of buying it at 19000 through PaisaPay by eBay), you need to deposit the money in his account and he'd send you the tablet.
Of course, it sounds like a Scam, but I did it, and the seller is trustable. He owns a nice shop and you could just check out his eBay Reviews.
you could mail him @ [email protected] if you wish to buy with certain discount.
He was selling 32gb at 20,500 AFAIK.
I'm really worried about screenguard since I don't have any. I ordered XtremeGuard but that'd take like 20 days more to arrive.
Any suggestions for the same? I have a neoprene sleeve which'd work for nexus 7 2 though.
Warranty ?
Am also considering getting one for me from USA as one of my relative is due to arrive next weekend, Can anyone here using NN7 in India tell about Warranty ?
Will we get warranty in India by ASUS ?

Check the contract terms where you buy it. Maybe it got international warranty or just limited.

Its before tax. I bought a 32 GB model from BestBuy. Price came to around $290 ($269 + taxes). I think Amazon doesn't charge any taxes.
I am waiting for it appear in Play Store India so that I can order one for my parents. But considering people are shipping from US, I am thinking of doing the same. Anybody has experience in how I can ship to India after buying from here?

Sorry if my wording was not clear. What I meant was this - I am in US now. So, I was wondering if anybody had any experience buying it from US and shipping it to India? Other posters, I believe, were talking about ordering them from India.

Well if you are in the US, just buy one and send via your trusted parcel service, e. G. DHL, should be not a problem, not sure about Indian import tax tough, I had to pay 7 percent over here.

Ask tax form from seller. When item leave the country, immigration must pay you back to your account.
