Galaxy Nexus Deals Off-Contract

Has anyone seen good deals on a Galaxy Nexus off contract? I'm on Verizon and I was thinking about getting a nexus but I want to keep unlimited.
I wanted a new one but they are still retailing for $500-$600 so i may go used.

If your looking for a VZW Nexus Verizon sells a return cheap off contract

I got mine off of Craigsist for $150 a few months back to keep my unlimited data. They still tried to move me to tiered data. Quick phone call work customer service fixed that.

Are you in California? If you happen to be in the area (which I kind of doubt), I'll be receiving my refurbished (from Samsung) Gnex in the next two weeks after repairs. That one's not my primary so I can let that one go.
They're giving me a new screen under warranty :victory: No more burn-ins or ghosting. This is the second time Sammy's done a replacement for me (two different phones), so I gotta spread some love for them around here.

No I live in New Orleans. That's too bad. I've found a couple of listings online that look good. I was hoping that I could find a new one for a bargain though.

Can we still buy the developer edition?

I've been searching for one for a while now, but I can't find anything. Samsung told me I had to get one through Verizon, and Verizon said I have to get one through Sammy. Unless they aren't selling them anymore, someone has something backwards. Do you guys know where I can snag one up if they are still for sale?

When I called on Thursday they said they are no longer available. But someone stated they had 83 units left. I found one online used and just pulled the trigger.... Getting sick of my iphone.....

Bummer. I've been looking online for a while now, no such luck though.

Just went through the same thing. Samsung's help was just about worthless. I was continually told Samsung doesn't sell phones directly. Finally went through the business department. Because the phone was shown on their site but not available as of 8-7-15, the business rep first tried calling the warehouse to see if anyone knew if it would be available in the future. He got no definite answer. He was going to send an email to corporate and let me know when he received a reply. I was told it may take a week for an answer. The issue may be that because the Note 5 was soon coming they may not restock. My problem is that from I can see from Note 5 leaks, the phone may not have the features I want, ie. removable battery and sd card. Because I like my Note 4 and it has a verifiable good root for the developers edition, I was going in that direction. Two months ago, I had a chance to buy the de phone from Samsung. I was certain that the team at xda would get root and held off. Boy am I sorry for not buying when it was available. Well, we can only hope that our team here will get this working on our retail versions.

I'm looking at selling off my mint DE version since I'm leaving my Unlimited Verizon account. Is Swappa still a good way to get the most resale for now a "unicorn" like the VZ Note 4 DE? Was considering that or eBay, but worried about eBay hassles. I'll then pick up a T-Mobile Note 4 to put on Cricket.

Can I buy it?

Where is it listed.

Im waiting for my DE to be approved on Swappa ... its up for grabs, I love the note 4 and everything about it but I want something different. Im actually tired of roms and rooting. Mine is going to be expensive but its in perfect condition its ALWAYS been is a case and works beyond perfect and its hot commodity now. So if your serious then buy it.

I bought two of these and they arrived today. Seem legit.
EDIT: Wait a sec. This may not be "Unlocked" after all. It doesn't seem to be the right version. I have SMN910VZWE.

Unlocked GSM, not a developer edition. Equates the phone xapable of being used on Verizon or AT&T

Have an offer for $700, but entertaining all serious offers, just PM me - I'll decide later today.

Am I able to cancel my order?

Hello all,
I have been thinking for the past week if I actually want the Note 7, with all these issues popping up(not including the battery). I ordered from Samsung directly, and it was a preorder. It never got shipped out because of the recall, and I was hoping I could cancel it.
I don't know what phone I was going to switch to, but I don't care for it and it's issues.
Hopefully I will get a timely refund a long with it as well.

If you'd actually gotten phone in hand, you'd probably feel different. I was going to take mine in today, but I just couldn't bear to part with it. Maybe tomorrow.

I agree. I'm going through withdrawal. I Odin back to VZW firmware (I was on that root method) and it is boxed up waiting for the exchange unit. Better safe than sorry.

And yes u can probaly refund you have to contact samsung by phone or something

I know I returned my yesterday to my carrier. I miss is badly. This One plus 3 is fast but just not the same. I'm gonna get an Exynos version when they're available again.

Went into tmobile today and the only loaner they would offer was a J7. No thanks. Guess I'll keep my Note 7 until they pry it from my charred remains.

Call T-Mobile at 1-844-275-9309. They will ship you an S7 or S7 edge overnight as a loaner. They instructed me to keep the Note 7 in a safe place and powered off and thet would follow up with an email on how to return the phone. The CSR said that they do not have a time frame as to when the replacements would be available and said that I may just keep the phone and return both the loaner and Note 7 when I exchange it for the new phone.
I called regular Customer service and they told me ro go to the store. Probably because they were offering cheaper phones in store. I got the toll free number from the following link:
https://explore.t-mobile.com/samsung-galaxy-note7-recall?cmpid=CRM_EM_SMSNGGLXYN_BI0WY9IUAL19613
They told me that when the replacements come in, I have the option to keep the loaner or exchange it for the new phone.

Thanks Sirdragonx! I was hoping to make an exchange today, my Note 7 is actually running uncomfortably hot. I should start carrying a fire extinguisher.
Once I got connected to business support, they quickly arranged to send an S7 Edge to tide me over. With any luck it will arrive tomorrow.
I'm hopeful they make a sweetheart deal on the S7 Edge after the loaner period, so I can use it to upgrade another line on my account.

getting Samsung to send free SD card?

Now that the note 7 is officially dead, the only other phone I can see myself switching to is the S7 edge however Verizon only sells the 32gb. Do you think if I called Samsung I could get them to send me a free SD card for it after going through this mess with the note 7?

If you switch to the S7E I believe they have a promo going for a free SD card still.
Sent from my SM-N930V using Tapatalk

Good to know.. Probably will call Verizon in a bit. I'm worried I won't like the more pronounced edge screen or the battery life won't be as good as my note 7. Just can't see any other phone to switch to. I don't like how the v20 or pixel aren't waterproof.

The SD promo is over; it ended on the 9th.

I feel like samsung owes something to people who have to downgrade to the s7e. 32gb is a joke.

Lol. That's such a slap in the face.

The S7E is such a small device.... I had the S7 as a loaner and it sucked.

The pronounced edge screen is exactly why I got rid of the S7E. I couldn't stand it and when I used it one handed, I was always touch the side panel. The Note 7 was so much better.

I think I am going this route too. S7E

Well since I cannot stand IOS, iPhone is out. I really like the wireless charging, and I have Samsung pay debit cards on my account pretty much makes it an easy choice for me.
I was considering the Pixel XL but it is going to be locked down with bloatware so the biggest appeal is gone there.
After looking at all the options, I have a Galaxy S7 edge being delivered from Verizon today. Im not totally happy with it but thats the best thing for me to get now.
I just have to wait for the next flagship phone from Samsung next year ( Galaxy Pro?) to be as happy with the phone I use now that the Note 7 (and Note brand itself) is out.

The Verizon Pixel XL has been bootloader unlocked and rooted and can now be flashed with Google store firmware making it just like the rest. I had one but hated the rear fingerprint reader so I returned it. Getting an S7 Edge.

That was one of the reasons I didnt get the Pixel, the other reason was the plastic on the top and bottom.
I cant wait until my Note 5 arrives, still has a Nov 15 ship date.

When will the Google Pixel XL 128GB finally be in stock?

I originally decided I wanted this phone for Christmas, but then I saw it was out of stock. I'm on the wait list, signed up for nowinstock.com to alert me - I've waited a while, and it still isn't restocked. The battery on my 5x is terrible, and i can only use my phone very lightly because of it. Is it worth waiting until the pixel restocks? I really don't want to settle, but I also won't know 100% how good the phone is until I actually buy it. Also, I will not buy it from Verizon (I don't want to be locked down and get bloatware, and I use at&t).
Does anyone know how long until there is a restock? It will take 3-4 weeks to let alone ship, so I wonder how long I'll be waiting to order in the first place. That "out of stock" every time I check is making me hopeless D:

I was in the same boat in November but the wait list never sent me an email. I ended up using nowinstock.com and got a notification from them in a day or 2 and bought one. You have to be Johnny on the spot though, by the time I finished up the checkout process and went back to Google devices site they were sold out again. I never did get an email from Google's wait list.

I never got a waitlist email from google either. But I manually checked daily for about 10 day period in November and finally caught them available. Only took a couple days to ship.
Keep checking, seems like they get restocked periodically.

I use that site too. It's been a long time and still nothing, and it says they last restocked November 30th. That's over a month. I guess it will be a long wait I check daily just in case as well, and nothing.

The Verizon thread says they are finally seeing some deliveries (some had been pre ordered since Oct) . But, I wonder if the Google store has put a little hold on the pixels to play whack a mole with some of the issues.

Well when you order through Verizon, the Pixel XL 128GB (all colors) have a ship date of February 17th, so I guess that means it'll be a while!

You might also keep an eye on Swappa and eBay. That's what I'm doing. I have a 32GB, but may make the switch to a 128GB. Not that I probably need it, since I can backup all my pics and videos at full resolution, but I always have to have the biggest a s best. LOL.

From what I'm told by a very reliable source at Google, they've been feeding Verizon with the bulk of all 2 million Pixels that will/have been manufactured. 128GB NAND is just very hard to source.

If you're paying full retail price, you could check the Fi store. You don't need to activate Fi as long as you pay full price of the phone (otherwise, if you're financing and buy thru Fi, you have to activate within 30 days or else you'll be billed the entire cost of phone).
That's how I got my black 128GB XL. I had been on that waitlist for a while. I think I still am lol and never got an email. But the Fi stock comes and goes certainly more often.

I'll unlock mine upon receiving it. Plus, with Verizon, the phone costs $8.33/mo for the 128GB variant (holiday special). It's worth it for the 3 apps they put on (they're removable anyway)!

No... You can definitely unlock the Verizon model if it's not on 7.1.1 yet. Many have done it and I'm planning on it to. You use the dePixel8 software.

Got my 128gb slate gray from Verizon it's back ordered now but the blue one is shipping right away. The rest are anywhere from Jan 17 to Feb. But just because it says those dates doesn't mean it won't ship until then. Basically as they make more they'll ship earlier. I work for Verizon and they're not stocking stores with anything but the 32gb.

I would never buy from Verizon, but I'm confused - how did you get the 128gb if they only will stock the 32gb?
I wish Google would restock the one I want. It's been well over a month now and I feel incredibly fed up.
