Black friday - Galaxy Nexus ?

I'm in the US and right now it's Black Friday... do you know if there are any special offers and where to buy?

I'd try Best Buy.. if not, then wait till Cyber Monday and get it online.

Have seen no indications so far that it's available anywhere (other than from importers like Expansys, etc.) either on pre-order or off the shelf. If VzW (or their resellers) have a surprise rollout planned for today or Monday, it's been the best-kept secret in the past 25 years.

No, the best kept secret is fight club. Why is it a secret you ask? Because, the first rule of fight club is no one talks about fight club because Chuck Norris invented it. You talk, you get roundhoused in the jaw.

not out yet. did see something online about a leaked marketing poster, showing $200 and Nov 29... but obviously don't quote me on that.
most tech blogs should have a post on it within the first hour its availible if it sneaks out. wish it would hurry... i'm getting anxious here.

Thanks guys.. hope it's out soon.
And I will be getting the unlocked version... (No Sprint, Verizon, etc...)

Be prepared to pay premium prices, however. Its not officially out, all stock coming from Europe.
All we know is Verizon supposedly launching soon (between now and mid Dec). There is no info at all about an official launch of the HSPA+ version in the US.
I broke down and ordered from Negri.

[INFO] GNexus for relatively "cheap" in Hong Kong

just saw this today while browsing around Mong Kok
Broadway has the phone for preorder for $5388 HKD (or a number close to that give or take 100; I can't remember)
FYI it's the 16gb gsm HSPA+ unlocked version
Just go in and ask one of the store reps and a $1000HKD deposit
it should be a way better deal than expansys for both UK and US members, so ask your friends if you have any time get it for you! I'd be happy to help if anyone's got interest;I'd be happy if you want a mod or someone trustworthy like dutch or charlie to hold the $ while I get it shipped to whoever wants one
just a heads up for those looking for a GNexus

$5388 HKD is
Dollar: $692.46 US
British Pound: £444.49
isn't that much cheaper, in the UK at least.

Just a warning to the OP, guys in Broadway and Fortress are really 'tricky' they can sometimes take your pre-order deposit then when the phone is in, give it to other customers who are paying cash straight away and then keep you waiting so their cash flow is higher...
Normally deposits are 300 HKD, which I have checked with at Fortress and Wilson. I've got my preordered with Wilson.
To be honest, it's an awesome phone but 450+ GBP or 5,000 HKD+ for a mobile phone is still very painful. I could build a pretty decent PC with that money.. But anyways I sold my HTC Desire and have no phone to use at the moment, so the GN should come in stock in HK from the 14-16th.
Has anyone got any tips to help check the Galaxy Nexus for any bugs/flaws when picking my one up? Like screen deficiencies, Touch screen issues etc?

They told me mid-month
hmm.....I haven't preordered from them yet since I have to get rid of my Atrix first.
Is Wilson accepting pre-orders now?
as for checking for defects; I've read that you shouyld check the physical camera module to see if its aligned up as some people have said that it wasn't on theirs and returned theirs for another.
Thanks!

I preordered the phone last Thursday, the day Wilson started preorders. A friend who works at 3 preordered his on the Wednesday and said he would get his on the 14th. I think you can try Sincere Centre or price.com.hk, because if you now order from Wilson or Fortress etc, you'll have to wait for at least second batch which nobody knows when that will be.

daliy steals, have you received it yet?

Mobile.dailysteals.com is selling the Samsung galaxy nexus for 559.99 + 4.99 shipping for only today, I'm thinking about picking one up as this is the best price we will probably see in months.

Order one. Hope it gets here soon.

I think i will order one too but im not sure how good the website is and how and how they would act if you need warranty work.. I might give them a call and ask.. ill edit my post later with their response!
DailySteals DOES NOT have phone support.. Now im not so sure what to do :/

Just took the plunge and ordered one from DS - I hope I don't regret it. Paid via PP, so if there's an issue - I can hopefully get my money back fairly easily.
This is the lowest price I've seen on it, and I've been watching Amazon - lowest there is $654.99 (includes shipping).
Fingers crossed that all goes well with this transaction...

Ordered one as well. Wonder what build it will come with.

They are a very legitimate website, I know people who've ordered form them they usually have some good deals
Also I think it includes a 1 year international Samsung warranty

I've bought a few things from DS and have never had a problem with them. I'm so tempted right now.

but in the end, they are ALL the same.

Condition: New Packaging: Retail Warranty: 1 Year International Brand: Samsung Model: Galaxy Nexus i9250. It says this under the info

Anybody have any experience with this site? Is it a legit seller? Why is it $100 cheaper than everybody else? I'm skeptic because i fear there is a catch. Too good of a deal.

International warranty does not apply to usa. Check amazon reviews of many samsung international phones to verify.
My grandma beat me down and took my nexus. Sent from a jitterbug with beats by dre.

I had a unlocked htc touch pro 2 and the international warranty worked for me when i dropped my phone in coffee. They charged me a $28 international warranty fee + shipping to chicago.
I don't see why samsung would be any different.

I read on another forum that the website is known to sell black market items and one thing that they are know for is their long shipping time.. I think they are legit but it might take time for us to receive the phone..

ive purchased from them before they usually take a week to ship out the items and they always use ups and give you a tracking number if that helps

This was pretty much the price point I've been waiting for. Ordered.
Let's just hope it doesn't need any warranty service.

I Hope it doesn't take a month to get it though...

So, if i buy this today and something better comes out at CES, how long do i have to cancel my order? I'm pretty sure it's not going to ship before CES.

I am almost sure something better will come out at CES from either HTC or Samsung but for me its not the octo core, 148 megapixel camera.. Its that this is a NEXUS phone! FTW!

Whose importing a One X?

Well, I just ordered one from Handtec... Wish I had a cheaper hobby...
I've always been a Sense fan, and I'm looking forward to trying the phone out. It's really going to have to be great though to beat my current phone (Galaxy Note International.)
Who else has ordered from across the pond? Who'd you order from?

What's the turnaround from those guys?

I'll let you know... Their site says it's in stock.
I did order a little late their time (4:30pm I think) so I wouldn't expect shipment today but I'd hope it goes out tomorrow.

Cool--I was thinking of ordering from Expansys USA or Negri potentially since they are US based, but would consider importing if the cost wasn't a lot more and I could have it sooner.

It might be a hassle if there was anything wrong with the phone, but it's not more expensive. Even with shipping my total came to $681 shipped and that was WITH the HTC sleeve (not in stock.)
I think it will also be faster as long as they get it shipped in a reasonable time frame. It says delivery in 2-4 days after it's shipped, which is about what it would be from a US seller unless you pay for expedited shipping.
I e-mailed Negri when they expected to receive theirs and never got a reply, so that's why I went to Handtec.

Negri tweeted out this morning they are expecting to ship out on Friday. So delivery next week.
I am also thinking of going with Handtec, they are cheaper and will most likely get you the phone this week.

I have a preorder with Negri, placed last week. They reckon both colors should be arriving around Friday, but black might be just slightly sooner to arrive. No info on whether they have enough stock in the first shipment to cover all current preorders.

Just ordered a white One X from Handtec today as well, to Vancouver, says 1-4 days when i ordered... which hopefully translates to thursday or friday.

I'm in Australia right now and the retail stores are selling "Optus software unlocked" versions for $658 AUD. Would you buy an Optus unlocked phone if your intention is to use it in the U.S.? Is it possible to get future software updates if they will most likely be pushed out by Optus? I'll be in the States probably on T-Mobile. Thanks.

yep ordered through clove and they should be shipping tomorrow to new york. just hope i can get it this week, and not next :/
this is my first phone im ordering over seas, if there is a software update does it still get pushed to our phones? been wondering that. thought it might matter that im not on their carriers out there.

I have an order from negrielectronics.com that I placed last week. I have gotten an email answering my question about possible dates for shipment, and the response was something to the effect: "We don't any phones in stock and are not sure when we will get them". I kinda wish i found Handtec selling them sooner, I payed about $675 for only the phone ><.

I definitely agree for unbranded factory unlocked phones. But is this also true of carrier branded phones with bloatware? Don't updates then go through the carrier? And if so, can you still get the updates if you don't use the carrior's simcard?

Negri have posted several times on Twitter that they're expecting phones to start shipping out to customers from Friday.

What the hell is up with Best Buy preorders?

SO I canceled my Verizon pre order to do it through best buy (felt more reliable with $200 gift card, not waiting for a mail in rebate which never comes), and they dont seem to be available. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/promo/samsung-galaxy-note-4-128435
I was in store on Saturday to pre order, and they just said it wasnt available. The Samsung "Experience Coordinator" (or whatever it is), had no explanation, was really pissed off, and just offered to text me when they become available to preorder. Anyone know whats going on?

Hearing Sold Out @BB!

Wow, I was able to pre-order mine for Verizon on Thursday, this past week.

I've been waiting for them to open the pre orders on their website because I don't live near a bb but I would be willing to drive to pick it up to save $200. If I can't order it through bb I'm gonna be pissed. I really don't want to deal with uploading the receipts and all that crap for the other promo. If I have to I will, but I would much rather deal with bb. I am pre ordering by the end of the week no matter what weither it's from bb or verizon.

When I preordered the Sprint one there was issues with their site and store connections. I had to go back 2 days later to put it in. At that time there was a message flashing across the screen that the Verizon preorders could not be taken yet. Just keep calling until they are up, you have until the 16th to preorder.

I was in there Saturday also and was told all they had left to pre-order was white. When I got home and looked online even white was gone. Bummer because the employee told me that the tradein program was very lax and that they would accept pretty much any phone as long as it turned on and didn't have water damage/major cracks.

i went in to a bb to check out the note 4 as well. Phone is sick! but i asked the same about pricing and ordering and they didnt have a clue on both! I was like really!??

Wife and I went to 3 Best Buy's yesterday to preorder for Verizon, 1st said only White was available, so I hesitated due to wanting black, so we drove to the next BB where they said preorders at their store sold out on Saturday, drove to the next BB and was told ALL BB Verizon preorders were shutdown Friday night due to being oversold. Was told this by both BB employees and Samsung Mobile employees at all 3 stores. Was really pissed because the preorder hasnt even began on BB website for Verizon - has always said Coming Soon.
Ended up preodering at Costco - 1 black and 1 white.

I know the phone is much higher through best than what saw at Verizon. The AT&T version is $825 and the Verizon version is $699.99.

That's what I saw also. I preordered the white from Verizon for $699.

I had the same experience... not able to Pre-Order online so I went into my local store. They said pre-orders were sold out as well. I called the Best Buy Mobile store and was surprised to hear him say they could pre-order black or white still. Ran up.. pre-ordered the phone!

Apparently BB allocations for the N4 are tapped out. Verizon obviously got the lion share of allocations.
Anybody thinking they will get the offer for full price sales are dreaming even more now.

The $200 deal is from Samsung so that stills good, just that Bestbuy is sold out with their limits so you can't pre order from them any more, but you could get N4 from Amazon or Verizon.

Well in our mall Best Buy Mobile is like a very small mini store. Also have been reading reports that this promotion will jot work unless you do 2 yr contract or edge plan... However I clearly asked and made sure that I could purchase the Note 4 at full retail and receive the $200 trade in value on my Motorola Droid X.
Employee said that it says clearly when activation 2 year contracts when they do promotions like this but this promotion had none of that wording. Simply towards any "purchase". Got it all in writing and had them sign it so I would have a "leg to stand on" if for some reason that went against what they were telling me.
BTW they said they had several in both black and white they could still pre order and their store hadn't reached they're limit
