I would try negri or expansys. You will have warranty through them. You will NOT have warranty with newegg or amazon. And I also suggest waiting till February and see if the 32GB comes out. 16gb version price will probably go down. You might find a good deal on a slightly used one from somebody unloading to get a 32GB nexus aaaaand, it gsm version might officially be released in the USA and then it will be safer to buy through newegg or amazon. Anyways, buying through newegg or amazon right will only only allow the exchange/return period as your warranty. Not good if you ask me.
My grandma beat me down and took my nexus. Sent from a jitterbug with beats by dre.
All GSM phones come unlocked.
Newegg, Negri, Expansys are all good choices. Can't really go wrong with either three.
I personally bought mines from Negri (look for coupons if any exist and you can get a good % off)
Keep in mind that the white GN and GSM 32GB GN is coming out at the end of February (or so) if you're interested in that.
Pretty much what rbiter said.
personally i recommend negri electronics. they're one of the best places to get it. also currently the cheapest. and they honor the years warranty from samsung at no extra cost. they also include a US adapter.
i bought mine from them.
also, keep in mind that the 32GB version is coming in a little over a month, so if you need more than 16, you might want to wait.

oh, and it works great with t-mobile in florida.

Adapter? I ordered mines and didn't come with an adapter. Worked in the wall just fine. I had a yakjuxw build. You might of gotten the UK version so it needed a US adapter, that's probably it.
But regardless, Negri has great customer support + fast shipping. Would buy again, take a look at them. Definitely the cheapest and google around for a coupon (as I mentioned before.. you might save some more!)
I purchased mine from Negri. Had a problem with the first unit, would not recognize my SIM card. Had to pay for a second unit to be shipped while I sent the first one back. Sent the original back in the same box the next day, never even opened the headset or charger. They told me would only take 10 to 12 days for them to issue the credit on the device. They received it on December 19th still no credit and they are not responding to my emails. Now I have to dispute through my c/c company. As far the second part of the question, my GNex works great on TMOUSA! I have not had any issues with the phone working on their system and the speeds are pretty good, not LTE good but still good. I'm getting over 7Mbps down and upper 1's up, I'm outside Philadelphia.

Have you tried contacting them via Twitter? they usually have great customer support. I'm not sure what's up but I'm sure they'll fix you right up.
https://twitter.com/#!/negrielectronic
yeah i got some time... i was thinking prices will go down closer to the end of the month because of the release of the 32 gb version so im hoping to get a 16gb a little cheaper... honestly, its kinda tough to find a good deal on this phone... if n e one has coupon codes let me know! lol thanks for ur help guys
I'm sure you'll have a lot of people recommend Negri here and I can vouch for them. They offer competitive pricing as well great discounts.
I purchased mine during the holidays with free shipping and received mine within a few days.

I haven't tried twitter but I will thanks for the suggestion. The reason I bought from them was positive reviews from other buyers. Kind of pissed at them though, 3 emails unanswered and I'm out $750 waiting for them to respond...

You could also give them a call,
Toll Free: (888) 358-6358 x 0
(888) 358-6358 x 4 (Accountant Office)
Most likely closed today but tomorrow should be fine. Also seems that their Twitter customer support is still active today, so that might be your best bet, seem to be very friendly and helpful.
im still debating waiting to see if prices will go down a little more....
just bought from expansys... $649.99 with promo code for 20 off
goooodbye t989 samsung galaxy s ii helllo nexus =)
Hi all,
has anybody seen the GN on offer in the UK - sim free?
Broke my HTC and have seen their latest flagship phone has issues, so would rather switch to the Nexus
Thanks in advance
Got mine here a month ago, dont think theres anywhere cheaper.
Mine was a euro version so no uk usb charger but i wasnt bothered,

I got mine off amazon back in Jan, was easiest/cheapest way to get a sim free phone that I could find here at the time. But it would appear that it's not offered directly through Amazon - just resellers now there. So depending if that's your cup of tea or not, still have that route.
Not sure which carriers offer it still in store - but I believe if you bought outright off Vodafone, they'll give you the unlock code immediately (up to a 7 day wait maybe though?).
O2 policy was a year, and I think 3 might've been three months.
Pretty sure its not stocked in most stores in the uk now,
I got mine from the reseller Top T through amazon and they were very good, dispatched and delivered within 3 days. Free delivery also.
Thanks folks.....
I'm gutted. I almost bought the white one on ebay the other day, but opted for the HTC One X (this was before I read the bad reviews) and the bugger ripped me off with my cash.
So waiting for Paypal to get my refund sorted.
The white one on ebay was new and only went for £227
Would you recommend it?
Only because I could upgrade early with Orange for about £300 and get the S3?
I'm just not keen at all on that touchwiz poo,lol
That sucks, i like the onex but i have heard some bad things about it.
Just a personal thing but i'd never buy a phone from ebay anyways.
Grab the Gnex from amazon for £316 and you'll be happy
Edit: SGS3 is a beast, i've played with one and the touchwiz isnt all that bad. Plus the custom roms will be coming soon.
Down to personal preference really, i cam from iphone so anythings better!
Yeah, I've heard it's good,lol....
That's why I'm a bit undecided
Argggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Decisions, decisions!
I would go for the nexus, buy it outright then you're not going into another long contract, if you dont get on with it down the line you still have an upgrade to use and you can sell your nexus.
That's what I was thinking....
They're all going to start competing with quad cores now and in a few months the SG3 will be bottom of the list....
Nexus it is....
Thanks for your help!
i want to buy from canadagsm.ca the glide and send it to a family member who's living there. is anybody here bought from them? and more important is the IMEI of their phones are generic ones? (i know they sell an unlock version of the phone, so it can be unlocked with generic IMEI).

Hey taiber,
I just bought my (locked) glide from canadagsm with no issues. It was kinda sketchy as it came in a galaxy s2 box with only spanish instructions for the s2, but it shipped in time and the phone works and looks great!
thanks for the answer mate,
but its strange, you said its locked? they advertised that they only sell unlocked phones.
Hi,
I bought a Samsung SGH-I927R from canadagsm.ca. It works really well.
Some things:
- they charged a little extra for shipment to Belgium, outside of Canada/US (which is ok, i guess)
- it came UNlocked (AND rooted... which was a nice extra)
- their rooting user account was still the main account of the phone when it arrived, but a factory reset fixed this -without losing the network unlock (if that was ever necessary)
- it is named 'Samsung Captivate Glide' on their site, but it seems that 'Samsung Galaxy S Glide' (which was on the box) is the name of the Rogers version.
- They shipped it with the content description 'cellular phone', so some extra import taxes were paid. :-(
- The GPS issue I read about doesn't seem a problem for me. GPS works as it should.
- The phone should be getting the ICS update, someday (as far as I know).
- The T9-predictive text input is limited to the languages relevant in Canada.
- using 'MoreLocale 2' in the google play store, I was able to add my own, custom 'locale'
- Performance of this device is really good (plays 'Max Payne Mobile', 'GTA3', N64 emulator,... all very smoothly.
Hope this helps.
thanks for the info. as i'm shiping inside canada i'm golden.
and import charges wont effect me aswell - my cousine will bring it with him.
i will buy from them in confidende.
thanks for the help guys.

From your previous messages, it looked you were going to buy from them... me I'm waiting their paypal invoice for a Note 3.
My debit card wasn't working on their website even if they said it should.
didt bought from them cos it was cheaper to buy via amazon.ca instead - my cousin choose for me. but it was over then a year ago so things chagned i presume.
I will report my experience...
I found a N900T on canadagsm for 650 CAD and I asked if if could work with wind mobile and abroad. I asked also if I can pay with debit visa. They confirmed by email. I asked to double-check even if in the ad it was the wind logo in the carriers that it can work with.
The speed of answering decreased after I tried to buy from their website and my visa debit did not work.
After several attempts they sent me a paypal invoices and I paid it on Jan 9th.
It took over 10 days to send me this unit even if it was available and they initially lied about the shipping day and the day they were able to provide tracking information.
I got this phone after 14 days on 23rd and it did not work on wind mobile, even with the settings they told me to put. I asked to be called and never got a call back, so I opened a paypal dispute to resolve.
Now they want me to send the unit back in order to get another but I replied that I prefer to get first a working unit and then I'll send back this to UPS when I get the working one.
Quite upset for that...
CandaGSM are Reliable!

I have bought many times from CanadaGSM because they offer best rates, even I have recommend my friends to buy from them :good: Reason!

That thing really made me their fan, yes! customer services over e-mail was not promptly but they never taken my money, I got the valued thing for the Best Cheap Rates Thanks

Did you join XDA just to rate them? I see you joined yesterday and that's your first post, WOW :laugh:
Anyway, I update my experience with them...
In the end, after 1 months of problems, I got a working Note 3, just a different model. I had to send back the previous unit first thought.
They offered to add an additional screen protector and a case, but I did not get it yet.
In the end my suggestion is, if you don't care to wait to much in order to save 100$ you can buy from them, but maybe you'll have to face off some problems on the way.

I was considering buying a phone from CanadaGSM. Did a quick search on Google and changed my mind after seeing the results. As a new user I am not allowed to post links here, but a search for "beware CanadaGSM" should take you to a CrackBerry thread that I've found very enlightening. There are also complaints on other forums as well.
BTW, "Sam Cristoph" also posted to that CrackBerry thread. His post was very similar to the one above. That post was deleted, but you can still read it in quotes, along with a very good response. Go to the CrackBerry thread titled "BEWARE: CanadaGSM.ca purchase help! " and look at post #25 of that thread.
UPDATE: Received my Note 2 on the 5th! Took some time, but absolutely worth it. For those of you still waiting, stay strong and keep on going. Push a bit harder too. The phone is absolutely fantastic.
-----------------------------------
Hey everyone! So with the current lack of inventory at Walmart Wireless, I figured it may be useful to have a thread up and running like this. I did some searching and couldn't find one for AT&T...so here we are.
I ordered my Note 2 on the 25th and am still under "Awaiting Inventory".
Talked to customer service representatives both today and yesterday.
Yesterday: Was told that they should receive a large shipment on the 29th and that it was likely for my device to ship then.
...
Today: After wondering where my phone was, I was informed that they have no idea when their shipments are coming in nor when my phone will ship. Basically, it could take no time or maybe awhile. Good news, without even asking I was offered free one day shipping.
*To get free shipping, you may have to call like I did.
Anyway, post your stories! :good:

I am in the situation as you. I ordered mine today and it says "awaiting inventory". Hopefully it will come in stock soon. Sams Club got a shipment in on Friday to the local store. I know the hold up has to do with the $100 gift card promotion, but if I have to wait for the phone to save $100 I will do just that!

I ordered 2 of them on the morning of the 24th. And was taken back when I saw they were out of stock. Thursday, I was told our phones were shipping out saturday. Then Monday, we were told they would be sent out with in the next week or 2. And some how it seems people that ordered after us are getting them shipped already. Im not really impressed with Wal-Mart's customer service. This will be my last purchase online with them.

I accidentally ordered an extra a 32GB WIFI model last week. If you want it it's your's otherwise it's going back to the store. PM me with some details and I will see if UPS can ship to you.
