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.

HA! This was the first thing that crossed my mind too! Thankfully if it's not the Google one, I saw somewhere on here where you can convert it.
I am SO excited!

funny thing is, the non-google signatured ones got updates before my google one did. lol
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!

[Q] Galaxy nexus from hongkong. Im from phil. I have questions

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.

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

[Q] Should I buy a used samsung Galaxy s3?

There's a local shop that sells used phones and new one as well, the seller showed me a Samsung galaxy s3 for 280$, but it has no manufactures warranty the seller gave me 10 days warranty from the shop, from there I started having doubts about the phone, because he gave me only 10 days so maybe the phone is corrupt, but it is in excellent condition at the outside. The new one costs 400$, so I'll be saving 120$, the phones in my country are highly expensive. So it's either that phone or a new Samsung Galaxy s3 mini OR a Moto G. What do you recommend me?? What I basically want to know is if a second handed GS3 will face any problems?

You're taking a risk buying any used phone. I mean if you're buying it from a shop.. Hopefully it's got a clean esn etc. 280 seems a bit pricey for such an old phone though. No Craigslist in your country?

Nobody use craigslist around here, and yeah 280 is expensive but around here everything is expensive, I am not in a hurry buying a phone, but should I go for it or the S2 plus? or the Moto g?

Got my S3 on Amazon for $30 over six months ago. My point is there are deals out there all the time that should trump buying a used device.

I have bought 3 used S3's off of Ebay so far and had no problems...so far. I bought from sellers that had good favorable ratings and claimed clean ESN's and it has worked out.

I bought a clean ESN Sprint Galaxy S3 on eBay for $155 shipped in great condition. Hard to know what a good price is "around there" without knowing where "there" is.
The SIII Mini and the Moto G both have drawbacks IMO. Off the top of my head, reviews for the Mini suggest the display doesn't look so hot, and re: the Moto I wouldn't touch a phone with no SD slot (and you're aware it's limited to 3g, right?). If the GS III is fully working now, there's nothing that's going to creep out of nowhere unless you drop it.
I just started using this GS3 and I think it's a great great phone.

help with buying

hey guys ive been looking for a new phone and this one seems to tick all the boxes but while looking for info on it ive found that there are a few different versions like f240 and l-04e and e980 and e986 and a few more lol, but im the sunny uk so im not sure if it will make a difference which one i buy? also does anyone have any suggestion where the best place to buy one of these phones from?
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using Tapatalk

I did a lot of research before buying my OGP, as well. Swell device and I am more than satisfied with it. We have a small development community, but just enough to give you a taste of just about everything.
Go for one of the E98X ones. The F variants seem to have an even smaller development community here on XDA. You'd have to rely on Chinese and Vietnamese sites which are dominantly stock-based ROMs.
Not sure where you'd get one as I got mine through AT&T.

Thanks for the advice mate does make much difference which one of the E98X ones I get?

I don't really think so. Most ROMs say E980 (AT&T variant) but works on all E98X models (I think).

I'm also in the UK and I brought mine of ebay but now it is broken and the seller doesn't care. I would be very careful as the phone will obviously be an import so the warranty will not work in the UK. LG UK will not fix your phone, even if you pay for it. Many online shops, such as simply electronics, may take a long time to ship to you as they may have to get the device delivered from hong kong etc. Also, most of these online shops have none existent customer services and they won't reply if you have a problem. From looking at google shopping, there doesn't seem to be anywhere in the UK who will help you if your phone breaks. However, if you do buy from shops such as simply electronics and value basket, you should eventually receive the product.
Why don't you get the LG G2? It is only £320 on Amazon UK.

All this said, I think swappa.com may be the best place to buy a US model in the UK (if one ever comes up). Swappa is an XDA offshoot and they have a very good system for matching buyers with sellers at fair prices. I just sold a phone there for a little less than I paid for it to someone who didn't seem to know much about what he was buying but it all worked out fine. They do not charge sellers. Buyers pay a flat $10USD. Another advantage is the built in protections of PayPal. I would not hesitate to buy from Swappa, although their prices tend to be somewhat higher than ebay's due to the buyer fee and shipping included in the asking price.
A few (not most) US sellers will ship internationally.
Here's one: LG Optimus G Pro (Unlocked) For Sale - JCP297 - $400 > Swappa - http://is.gd/tLP8aL
F240s,said to be mint. With international shipping will probably cost more. Keep in mind that a locked AT&T e980 is now $370 direct from the carrier. Of course given UK prices this might still be less expensive than ordering locally.

The problem with paying with paypal is that in the uk, if the worst happens, you can get your credit card company (not debit card) to give you the money back, but you are paying paypal, not the seller directly, so you can have problems with getting your money back, especially if the seller is an individual, not a business.

Good deal?

I have found an almost new Moto Z Play on eBay for £238, is this still a good buy? I have a Nexus 6P and the battery is beyond bad, I wand decent performance, screen and headphone audio, plus amazing battery life. I can't find it brand new anywhere in the UK (apart from for £338 on Amazon). So would I be stupid to buy it for £238 from eBay? I've heard that the performance is deceptively good for a mid-ranger!
Thanks.

I'd say its still a good buy as a phone yes. Try looking on swappa too and see if you can get a lower price

I was in John Lewis MK and they were selling it for £260 sealed last month.

I've had a look online and no retailers have it now I think last month was pretty much the last month it was sold.
Just checked, they sell almost every moto phone but the Z play!
Let me know if you see one anywhere?

I bought mine from here and it was boxed not sealed but in excellent condition dual sim version.

I am so glad you sent that, that is the one I saw for £238. So you can vouch for them being legit? They describe it was 'like new'.
How were they to deal with?
They only have 1 left, so if you say they were fine to deal with, I'll buy it straight away!

Bro seriously buy it. Iff it is anything like the condition mine was in its a bargain mine is like brand new all youll need is a Uk shaving adapter. The company is legit.

good luck mate let me know how you get on. I really like motorola phones because of the long battery life and amount of development they get. I previously had a lenovo p2 which is sold because of the lack of development.

Ordered. Should arrive early next week!
