Where did you get your Verizon Galaxy Nexus and how much?

Happy Galaxy Nexus launch day in the US. Let's post where you got your GN and how much the store charge you (contract or no contract)
My brother got his @ local Verizon retailer store and it cost him $675 w/o tax (no contract).

local vzw store:
(contract) upgrade $249.

Just got home from Verizon in McDonough, Ga. Got mine for $250 after using my upgrade and jumping on a new 2 year plan.

I got 20 percent off my data package, 19 percent off my entire monthly bill, and 50 bucks off my phone when I bought an accessory, which made the entire package just under 300 bucks, tax included. I chose the extra battery with the charging cradle for it.
EDIT: Local corporate VZW store, they had one set aside for me per our phone conversations yesterday.

I got mine for $225 after new every two, plus living social $25 for $50. Bought 2100 MAH extended battery, haven't opened yet. $275 out the door for all after tax.

$249 From "Cellular Connection" in Fort Wayne, IN. They are a Verizon/Dish Network retail outlet.
Radioshack was $300, Regular Verizon stores were $300.

For those of you that got their phone from a Verizon store, for under the published $299 price, would you mind sharing how you did that?

I have a corporate discount, so I walked out of there with the phone and an extended battery for $265. It would have been $50 cheaper if I would have waited until the end of the contract, but i have a family plan and had an early upgrade and didn't want to wait.

Pittsburgh, PA downtown location of Verizon wireless. $249 upgrade price because of a $50 equipment discount due to my corporate rate.

corporate discount.
not a single person who was being ringed up at the time (about 5 others beside myself) paid the advertised price.

Let's talk selling them for $229.00 on contract.
Sent from the tip of my ThunderStick on a bolt of lightning.

Walmart has em for $229 but if for some reason you go to Best Buy, they will match Walmart's price.

Local VZW store. Was free for me, but my company paid $299.

Radioshack $299 on upgrade

I went in with full intention of paying full retail price (I'm only 8 month in to contract when I got my Thunderbolt in April).
Verizon Store manager kept saying "I hate selling phones for full price and without a contract".
He offered me to extend the contract (even at 8 months in) for $400 + tax. I said sure.
Also gave me the case/protector/charger package, a white plantronics bluetooth headset, and a HDMI cable. When the person assigned to me (not the manager) rang me up, he knocked off 50 bucks off the whole deal.
Walked out with a little over $400 including tax. I think I did okay considering I was gonna go in there paying full retail price + tax.

Troy, MI..got the phone for the $249 renewal price at a Verizon store. Got a Invisi-Shield from Best Buy, a 3-pc ****ty screen protector, extended battery for 50% off, incipio double case for 20% off (from verzion)

thought about doing the Let's Talk deal, but was scared off buy them possibly ****ing up my unlimited data plan..checked a bunch of forums and wasn't convinced Murphy's Law wasn't gonna pass me by. In the end, i'm happy I got a new phone in my hands today, and also was able to defer paying for it for another 28 days or so.

amazon has/had them for $150 today for an hour or so....dont know if they have em now

Lumia 900 Free for New ATT customers

http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/de...are&siteId=OOTtr9mlaCk-dLZ7mZTkyggORUcKhIoCvg
just press new to att at the bottom. Select the lumia 900 and your plan and cart will show $100 discount

Wow, they really are not ruining this one with the price.

I got the $100 dollar discount, but that discount didn't make it free. It brought the price down from $199.99 to $99.99. I think $200 is the intended retail price, but a $100 promotion bring the price down to $100.
It might be free for others, but thats the way it worked with my company discount.

Mine came out to $0 due after discount. I already got confirmation that the order was processed and sent to the warehouse for shipping

Can I take advantage of this if I am on Sprint and I would like to transfer my line to an existing AT&T plan with my family? I'm new to AT&T even if they aren't.

[Q] Classic Vs. Value (for Note 2 upgrade)

So online right now the Note 2 is 369.99 with a 2 year contract.
On Nov. 16 I went to get the phone for 299.99 + tax with $200 rebate. Device price = $500
Here's the plan I had before I upgraded to get the Note 2:
Classic
Unlimited: Talk for the 49.99 lines, text, nights, weekends, mobile to mobile, long distance.
30 - 5gb unlimited with hot spot
20 - 2gb unlimited
49.99 + 30 = 79.99
49.99 + 20 = 69.99
10.00 + 20 = 30.00
10.00 + 00 = 10.00
TOTAL: 189.98
Value
Unlimited: Talk for the 2 same lines, text, nights, weekends, mobile to mobile, long distance.
49.99 + 15 = 64.99
49.99 + 20 = 69.99
10.00 + 20 = 30.00
10.00 + 00 = 10.00
TOTAL: 174.98
ADD: EIP = 20.00 for 20 months
NEW TOTAL: 194.98 (they said in 9 months I can switch all lines to value which will drop the bill ~$50) so assuming that's true, $144.98 after the drop or if I just pay off the device.)
If it makes a difference, I do plan to keep the device 2 or more years.
Now is it worth it to keep the phone on the plan I have and just leave it as is, or get the online one and switch to value plan?

That's not really on sale. I'm pretty sure that was the price of phone when it first dropped. Honestly I went with the value plan and got the phone for 99 dollars of course with the 200 dollar mail in rebate. I was on a grandfather plan and the switch to the value plane saved me like 80 bucks. So Even with the extra 20 dollars a month for the phone I'm still saving 60 bucks. So for me it was a no brainer. I'd rather drop the 300 plus tax than 500 plus tax

I too got the gn2 for $99 w/$200 rebate, & switched to the value plan. I'm saving $100 a month, including the $20 a month extra for the phone. No way I could pass on that.
shop smart, shop S-mart...got it?!?

whats price of this phone?

so?

599 off contract. 149.99-199.99 w/upgrade and depending on use of coupon code.

On contract, it's $199.99 at Verizon, but I got it down to $139.99 (not including the bull**** 'upgrade' fee) with these coupons (only usable online, but you can do in-store pickup):

Costco Price now $79 (cheaper than BB inc tax)

I was at my local Costco today and noticed the VZW price was down to $79 So if you've picked yours up there roll in for a $75ish price adjustment. You will need your ORIGINAL receipt in order get it.
For anyone holding out that means that the Costco price is now lower than BestBuy price since BB charges tax on retail price not out of pocket price like Costco.
Denver tax rate
BB 50+(650*.085) = 105.25
Costco 80+(150*.085) = 92.75
edit: costco tax adjusted. Is based off price of 150 not 80

They can. You just have to make sure the person knows the method to do it.

Besides adding a second line and updating it? I'm pretty much resigned to the fact that I'm going to pay full price for my next phone.

A lot of people should consider the gas too. I have a Best Buy 5 minutes away. Costco is a 25-30 minute drive if theres no traffic. With my big ole V8, it'd cost more in gas than it's worth

Also consider that for new lines Costco reimburses activation fees, a $35 rebate. Not to mention they give an accessory bonus pack, with car charger, generic case, and screen protectors. Give or take a $30 value. Work there part time ;')

Is the full tax a local thing? I paid $92 total for Phone+ Screen protector and case +tax. (both were $25 each but BB has a bundle for $35)
I'm pretty sure I didn't pay full tax on the device. I live in FL btw, if that matters..

The full tax is a state thing. In Ca. you pay full tax on the retail price.
At Costco, there is no retail price so you pay based on what they sell.
I was thinking about going to Costco and getting the phone, then after 14 days cancel and pay the ETF.
Sill cheaper than going into Verizon and paying full price.
$100+tax+$320+15days service = ~$475-500.
Almost $200 cheaper than I would pay at full retail.

I only payed $3.74 at best buy.
