[Q] Dispatch SGN @ Germany

does anybody out of germany had a chance to pic a SGN up at MediaMarkt? or maybe you've reccived a mail from Amazon.de or any other Order site that your device is on his glorious way into your hands?

Amazon.de and other online retailers don't seem to have stock yet. No german online retailer has send out phones yet.
But you could get it for the last two days in many Media Markt and Saturn stores. They have limited stock at the moment so calling ahead and reserving one for pick up is advised, especially if you don't live near one of their stores.
The Galaxy Nexus is in Media Marks latest print ad (page 3). download pdf
edit: It's also on the front page of the Saturn homepage.

amazon
i've ordered it on amazon along with prime delivery (had a wording grin there) since they offered the SGN mid last month..
they still give me a delivery date range from tomorrow 3.12 till 6.12.
but so far it's not it's way yet...
can keep you posted if desired..

got it from saturn yesterday and canceled my order at amazon

Yeah, I bought the last out of 7 Galaxy Nexus that were in stock at a MediaMarkt in Heilbronn on November 30th
The guy selling it to me had never even heard about Nexus devices and didn't know ****. ("Is this a new windows phone?" ) But he was impressed that all 7 devices were sold for 549€ in no time.
I canceled my order at Home Of Hardware then.

have you tried mediamarkt instead?

nope - and i won't, the service in both of those stores is as bad as it can be..
through I'm spamming F5 on amazon to check any changes (and yet I'm so eager to switch away from my almighty milestone)

I ordered mine from amazon a week ago. they say 13.12.-14.12.

Got mine today from Media Markt as well, 529€ which is compared to online prices very cheap. Canceled my preorder as well.
Just call the Markets near you and ask if they got it. I called 3 different ones in the area and only one had them. Good luck!

I heard there are the ones selling for 529 euros, and the ones for 629. Has anyone been able to confirm whether the more expensive ones are 32GB, or that's only retailer price difference?

As far as i know, only the LTE version does hold 32gb of data - all GSM devices are 16gb only

That's what has been said, but a 100 euro price difference seems pretty peculiar to me. It exactly matches the other devices' price differences for storage expansion. I guess we'll have to wait for someone to get a hold of one of the 629 euro ones.

could be... but you really just need more space for music n stuff.. depending on the data limitation within your contract... however you can use the cloud as extended storage.. basically thats why the 16gb is not that huge step back (for me, even if i think 16gb is far too less of offline storage)

Well, that's true, but i just can't bring myself to accept 16GB of storage . I have great 3G coverage here but still i would like to keep the most of my music and especially TV series episodes with me on my offline storage.

Importing Galaxy Nexus from Amazon.de

Hi, i have been thinking about upgrading to the Galaxy Nexus from a HTC Desire.
Now im looking at purchasing one from Amazon.de as its 495.00 EUR, which works out at around £414 + £7 shipping, compared to the £450 Amazon.co.uk want for it.
I know the one from Amazon.de will have a European charger, however i presume it just charges with a Micro USB cable, so i could just use my PC to charge like i always did with the Desire?
Also for anyone who purchased one in Germany is any text on the back of the phone in English or German?
If anyone could answer either question that would be great
Thanks very much.

Only stuff written on the phone is "Google" and "Samsung".

Thanks for the quick reply!

I got mine instore at Cex. It had never been even set up. I got the first ever update pushed as soon as I put my SIM in. Cex usually offer 5% discount for cash purchases so I got mine for about £413, which to me is a better situation than buying from Amazon as within the first year I have warranty options with both Cex (for a direct exchange if I have any faults) or Samsung (if Cex don't happen to have any in stock). Also with Cex I can exchange to the purchased value within twelve months, so if mine happened to break in four months and the S3 is a preferable phone I can simply add my £413 to the cost of the swap. I think I just got lucky to find one at my local store though.

I ordered it 11:30pm Monday night from Amazon.de, it arrived at my house around 9am Friday morning from what i'm told.
Very happy with the phone! Got the OTA Update to 4.0.2, then unlocked the bootloader and rooted!
Everything is great, impressed with the battery life compared with my Desire too, got over 4 hours (screen on) on with its first charge. The camera is not bad at all to be honest, not really sure why it got hammered in the reviews. Yes they might be slightly better cameras out there on other devices, but tbh i didn't buy the phone for the camera. The pictures are great for a mobile device, as is the video recording. My personal oppinnion is its a great all rounder device that is going to be a good mobile for the next 2+ years.

I'm thinking of doing the same thing that you did and importing a nexus from amazon.de
Just have a few questions,
how did you find the setup process? Was it in german or was it in english?
Also did you get stung with any taxes / surcharges?

Pre-orders, who has put one in then?

Having been flitting between the One S (for the smaller size) and the One X for the potential hardware benefits I decided to just go with the device I most wanted and plumped for the One X, for me the size is really the only thing that made me think twice as I ride motorcycles for a living, am out on the road a lot reviewing kit and a whopping device is a bit of a PITA in leathers.
How many of you have taken the plunge with a preorder and how many of you went through the same decision making process as me then?

We've already got one of these: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1558246
But yes, I've pre-ordered and no, I didn't follow that decision making process (the bigger the better as far as I'm concerned).

I didnt see another thread about the same thing, nonetheless I am interested to hear if peoples buying decisions were anything similar. Having stuck (happily) with my original desire for 2 years the leap to such a massive device is, well, a leap.

Agreed, but id put the limit at about 5 inches. Anything more and id feel like im talking on a tablet.

I've just cancelled my preorder with amazon UK.
& preordered with carphone warehouse.
£10 cheaper
Fast delivery, should be launch day (amazon was free super saver delivery which could be 3-5 days)
Basically, the £10 saving has paid for my HTC screen protectors & micro sim card cutter & fast delivery is the bonus.

Yes pre ordered, currently love my SGS2 but I like new toys to play with been saving up for a new phone I know the SGS3 is due soon (will see how that fairs after I've got my HTC).
I'm use to 4.3" can't go smaller, I love the Galaxy Note so think the size of the One X shouldn't be an issue.

Ok I bit the bullet and placed my order with Carphone warehouse! 9 days and counting (hopefully!)

still considering. if fafsa continues my college loans I will sell my galaxy s2 for half the money, but if not, I'm selling my car and my phone. I wont need a phone at all.

I signed up for a new contract with Orange from the Carphone Warehouse...
Didn't heard anything about being accepted so I emailed them and they confirmed I've been successful with Orange
Yaaaay, I can't wait!
I'm hoping it's delivered on release day! 5th April?
I hate Yodel though, why oh why does anyone use yodel to deliver parcels!?!?!?!

VERY bad experience with them.
I ordered a Limited Edition Zelda 3DS from thehut dot com and I paid for next day delivery...
Nothing came next day, so the day after that I phoned them up, they'd lost the parcel... Then they'd found it and it was due to be delivered the next day...
Then their tracking system said that at 14:53 the parcel was handed to the courier driver, then at 14:53 it was in transit, then apparently I signed for it at my house at 14:53... ALL THE SAME DAY!!!
Then a week later a woman knocked on my door and hands me the parcel, they'd delivered it to the wrong address, the other side of the city I live in.
They failed to tell me that I'd (apparently) signed for it, then that they'd lost it.
I think yodel are Crap.

Ordered mine from clove this afternoon. £500 including vat and next day delivery. Now for the cases and Sim card cutter!

Nokia DT-900 wireless charger $5 or less today! (US Only)

Nokia Wireless Charger on sale today at ATT stores - $5. If you get 3+ its 25% off further
I just picked up 4 of these for $16 with local store pickup.
If you're in the market for a wireless charger, this is a STEAL! Run, don't even think about it. Pretty sure these will be all gone soon.
Online is already sold out. So you'll need to enter your zip code and see if any local ATT stores have them in stock.
Nice review of the charger here:

Sold out everywhere around me as well. That's upsetting. Android Central tweeted about this yesterday/today and I normally read all my tweets and I somehow missed it. Would have ordered a couple.

Got excited because my local store had them "in stock" ordered 3, drove down, someone else picked up the last one right before I got there. Everywhere around me is now out of stock. Bummer.

Yeah, when I checked online for local inventory, almost 10 stores all had them in stock. I ordered 4 but when I went to pick up they only had 3 in stock. Then when I got back to my office, everyone couldn't believe how cheap I got them for and wanted to order some too. So when we looked online for local pickup, ALL 10 stores were sold out. That was in a 2 hour timeframe.

Are they clearance'ing these out or something?
I bought 3 back when I got my N5. Great charger. I use one at work, sent one to a friend, and still have one in a box at home.

Back in stock. I just hit the link and saw these were still available.

Tried to buy 4 to ship to in laws in NJ (I'm in Montreal). Unfortunately the credit card portion screwed me, asking for American billing addy, so it doesn't pass credit card authentication. Damn it.

White ones are back in stock.

Thanks, got 2 white ones... these are good and for $5 it's a steal.

I must be getting unlucky. I have had the page open for the last few days since the original sale and every time I refresh it's still sold out.

White's are back in stock again. Just bought 8...lol

Note10+

I submitted mine 8/22/19, it was sent the code 8/26/19.
I already won a $129 earbuds for free so I think I will wait for the Watch Active 2 pre-order. I thought they said you get the wireless charging pad with pre-order. The 44mm for $299 looks Bad A$$.

Took a while but I opted for the active. I doubt they'll add the active 2 on the available kits or individual options.

You can use this credit for anything on samsung.com, so if you want to get the active 2 I would cancel your order and wait until it comes out. However it will be much more expensive, about $300.
I was going to wait and use my credit for the active2, mainly for the stress/ s-health monitoring functions since the sensor was removed on the new note, but I got a galaxy fit for almost nothing with my samsung rewards points from samsung pay instead. (I already have an Apple watch S4 and Gear S3 frontier lol)

Yea ivthought about waiting for it but dont wanna pay extra money for it. I have a gear s3 that's all beat up but works but like the screen res on the active. Basically got for under $20 bucks with gift cards and the sammy promo.
Now I'll have an extra one when the other dies.

Did you all order through carriers? Cause I ordered direct from Samsung.com and won't get my credit until 15 days after delivery of my Note 10+ (which was delivered on Aug 21st.

What I did soon as I got my phone(8/21) went into shop app and registered for credit. Email said allow 6-8 weeks. Turn around was actually less than a week since I got credit email yesterday afternoon.

Dont know why you thought 6-8weeks lol...
Samsung always says that but normally delivers within a week or two.
Same happen with all my promos.
Watch, vr, charger etc...
And got mines yesterday used it for the ear buds and battery.
Was going to use it for the active 2 watch. But with its shipping date being sept 27. I might as well get the free buds then pay full price for the watch later

Sucks u can't get 256 sd card with this.

I pre-ordered through Best Buy [Verizon] (that experience was terrible, btw). I registered and submitted on Sunday and got approved yesterday. Delivery should not take more than a day to process since they should only need to review your proof of purchase. It's just digital credit from Samsung.
