Anyone know of any reputable sites selling a new Jawbone for mega cheap? I've found $82 on Amazon so far or $100 right from AT&T.
if in US, go to best buy, tell them you have seen the price dropping on the internet, ask clerk to do a product comparison search, then get a mgr to price match. Works if they are bored, and in a less tech savy area. got my black one for $79.
got mine for $60 (£30) was an unwanted gift (didnt know what they were selling)
amazon.com it is then, thanks!
i live in toronto, negri is cheaper, but i wanted to buy it from bell / virgin because of warranty reasons, but i will have to pay more
649.99 plus tax would come up to $734.48 and negri has it for like 680 i think?
what would you guys do?
Negri has coupon code VZSucks for $45 off GSM galaxy nexus.

It looks like Negri's price is $730.50.
And even if it was $680:
$680 USD = $692.68 CAD. Add 5% GST and you get $727.31. I'm not sure if there would also be duty on top of that. There might also be brokerage fees, depending on the shipping method used. So at best you save about $7 and then have to deal with shipping it back to Negri if you have a warranty issue, instead of just taking it down to you local Bell/Virgin store.
Maybe I'm missing something, but the choice seems obvious to me.
Bell wouldn't sell me the Nexus with activating a line for at least a month.
So 35$ for activation fee and 30$ for the cheapest "plan".
Same for Virgin but no activation fee.
I had to buy it from a random dude on Kijiji who had some BNIB Nexus for 730$ locally in Montreal.
The name Negri kind of sounds racist so i wouldn't buy from them...

True enough. I guess I was assuming he'd stick with Bell. Someone did say they got a Best Buy store to sell one without any activation though... probably a mistake on Best Buy's part, but lucky for him

You'll have to pay HST + duty to bring it into Canada, and I'd be surprised if they'll ship for free to Canada.
When I bought my N1 from Google, the courier showed up with a bill for $89 to cover fees, on top of the price I had already paid. I had to give him my credit card # before he'd release the package to me.
You can buy the GN at full retail without a contract, just depends on the store. I bought mine at a future shop with no problems (oddly, Best Buy won't sell without a contract). I think you'll find warranty issues less painful if you buy locally, and if it's that much of a concern for you, then you can buy the extended service from FS and they'll basically swap your phone for a new one if anything goes wrong.

Honestly, I think it is hit and miss. I bought mine on launch day, the rep told me that a few people had already been in to buy it outright, and asked me which network I'd be activating it on. Told her Rogers, and she said that's what everyone else had said.
But I've also heard that some people have been told at Future Shop that they can't buy without a contract, so it's not consistent. I was turned down at Best Buy, but I've seen others post on the interweb that they bought from Best Buy. There was also another post here saying that the Source was selling outright, which is surprising since they're owned by Bell, but at the same time, as someone who has dealt with Bell corporate in the past, it wouldn't be surprising that the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing.
You may have to store shop a bit, but I'm sure you'll find one that will sell it outright if you stick to the major retail outlets. I'd suggest staying away from the dealers though, they have more of a vested interest in signing contracts and receive fewer units for inventory so will be loathe to sell them outright this soon after launch.
Hope this helps...
I've been anxiously awaiting this phone since the Samsung Google unveiling in Hong Kong but it wasn't until yesterday that I decided to buy it and switch to Verizon. I had no idea that the phone is in such short supply.
I haven't checked Verizon official stores and I want to avoid paying full retail.
Radio Shack and Best Buy might have the phone in stock on Wed. Amazon, with the low ball pricing, is out past Xmas.
Ideas?
Edit: Found it at other Best Buys... Will see if they price match Amazon.
On contract , amazon is cheapest I think. Off contract it is cheaper from Verizon

This may have been asked before recently, but the only posts I saw were old when prices were way higher.
I had the iPhone 4, and I traded it for the Skyrocket. I've been trying to trade the Skyrocket for a 4S, so that I can sell it and buy the Nexus, but where should I buy it? Wheres the cheapest place?
Have a Skyrocket on AT&T, need a place to buy GNex for cheap, or some plan to get it cheaper.
Cheapest I've seen is $600.
Negri Electronics has Canadian versions for $595 (free shipping), and there are some coupons floating around that should work with it. I got it from them with a $30 off coupon on Thursday, but they've killed that.
AFAIK if you want a brand new one, that's the cheapest you're gonna get right now. There are some open box and used units for around the same price or a little cheaper if you search hard. Right now $595 or a little less is a steal for this device.
im in china right now and am looking to buy a nexus. no chinese carriers offer this phone and the samsung stores don't have it either. i can either buy it here or buy it when i go to canada in about 2 weeks. i looked on taobao (the chinese ebay) and the price is about the same as if i buy it in canada. some of the sellers on taobao are based in the city im in right now and i can go visit their storefronts in person, but im just worried that the ones they sell are fake, or won't work with my telus sim, or something..... the upside to buying it here is i'll get it sooner, should i wait or get it now?
my choice is buy it in canada

I suggest you wait.
