Not sure if it has been said, if so forgive me . I noticed a few people on here that already broke/ lost their phones. If your carrier uses Assurion which I believe every carrier does, the Galaxy Nexus IS semi covered just like previous Nexus phones. I have T-Mobile here in the states, as long as you have the full PHP protection on your account you can file a claim with Assurion. What will happen is you will have to purchase a new Nexus yourself but with proof of purchase they will cover the full cost minus deductible. So, the phone is $700, you pay the deductible equivalent (130 on tmous) they cut you a check for the rest so you get 570 back. No warranty coverage is provided obviously .Just thought I'd share for those that didn't know.

Is this for a phone bought off contract? I got asurion through Verizon a few days ago and was just told there a 100 dollar deductible.

Do you have to send the broken phone to them? That sounds ripe for abuse and fraud otherwise.

With Verizon you guys are covered because its a device that Verizon carries. This is for us GSM folks who imported their device from overseas.

Its the same if you were to go and buy a Galaxy S2 for $529 and do a claim with them , just paying the 130 deductible so if you wanted you can do fraud on any device....you only get 2 claims per year.... I'm not 100% if you have to send it back I'll find out tomorrow when I get to work, but I wanna say that yea, you'd have to send it back.

No. Carriers don't insure phones, Asurion does. Now I remember this was the policy with the N1 and the S I believe as well. Just to be clear I personally have not confirmed this myself, but a few trusted sources informed us here at T-Mobile regarding this.

Better than nothing, I guess.
Looking to get my hands on another Nexus after mine slipped and fell into the ocean last night. Too much liquor I suppose... You guys know anywhere cheaper than here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/browse.html?ie=UTF8&marketplaceID=ATVPDKIKX0DER&me=A1QPS08K9FKKNF
I ordered mine from here but it was $10 more when I bought it. Fast shipping and what I got was a brand new condition unit with all accessories. Nothing wrong with it whatsoever that I can tell.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Open-Box-Un...Cell_Phones&hash=item20c0b65166#ht_1264wt_905
I don't think you'll find them any cheaper. But if you want it you'd better hurry as there are only 4 left in stock and they sell em fast.
Pay the extra and get from negri or expansys so you have warranty. If you buy from Amazon or newegg you'll only have the return or maybe just exchange period as your warranty.

OK, I exaggerated. You get 15 days of warranty where you can exchange the phone. After that, you're left with a likely UK phone in the US trying to get support from Samsung. Ain't happening.

Still try again. Some of us ordered from expansys and negri for a reason. We might have to wait but we have warranty. Cheaper is not always better in this case. Thats why coreyl is laying down awesome customer service in the expansys thread.

Also because of expansys's exceptional customer service i am going to order my car dock from them. They goofed on some orders and coreyl went above and beyond making up for it. Ordering a couple accessories at a premium is the only other way to thank them.

wth do these cost so damn much more than a tablet with pretty much the same specs (gn10.1)?
On a whim yesterday, I stopped in a local Sprint store. Said they didn't know when it would be launched and wasn't expecting stock. About a mile away is another Sprint store. Stopped in there and they had 2.
Since I recently upgraded to the GS3, I wasn't able for upgrade pricing. They told me the stock was for upgrades only. After a few minutes of chatting, not only did they sell it to me, but they gave it to me for $570. :good:
Bestbuy.com has upgrade stock for 299 now.
Where did you find this?

No, I meant where did he find that they had it in stock. Lol. I know its on their site, but they don't have any in their inventory. So I was asking if he had uncovered info on having them in stock.
haha I was wondering where he seen it as well because I keep refreshing the page and still don't see a change.
Anyone know if Best Buy will price match Sprint's retail price? I am contemplating selling them back my GS3 for $349 and picking up the Note. I'd rather pay $300 than $450...
Just went ahead and bought it from the Sprint website... 650.00. + Tax ~ 700.00. Good thing I'm selling a bunch of tablets and breaking even

Hello, I want to buy an E980 from att because the price cheaper, but how can I do that without activating an att service plan?
I know there is an option to buy from ebay, but I am just afraid of being scammed.
Thank you.
I believe if you're paying full retail, you can just walk in and pick it up. Have you tried that?

If I can find another online store that sells 440, I guess I won't hesitate
buy from costco then cancel the contract after 14 days and pay the ETF. It'll be cheaper than buying from AT&T outright.

if u go to a cor store...a real att store not a dealer location they'll sell it to u no problem without service. dealer locations like ms wireless and parott only sell with upgrades and new lines cuz they r typically pure commission. cor reps still get hourly pay so if u wanna just walk in, bye, walk out, it should be quick and easy
U could buy it on swappa on the xda site.

I wish that were the case. I was able to buy the first one with a bit of persuading. But I returned it only to have the price drop 110 dollars so I bought the 2nd one. 3 different stores said it was against policy to sell without service plans. I called Customer service and they said the same thing. Who knows. But Just FYI they may be getting ready to stop selling the phone altogether . I had to purchase a 3rd due #2 dropping and shattered the screen. It rang up for 400 dollars.

interesting the only time ive ever had an issue buying out right was at Verizon several years ago.
They must had had a glitch, that phone should had been 439 plus tax. But I wouldnt complain at $400! haha.
So they are supposed to let you purchase the phone full retail with signing up for even a go phone plan?

saying you wanted it without service is probably why they didnt sell it to you. most sales reps r shady and sharks...i know cuz i used to be one. i used to see my coworkers bold face lie to customers sometimes if they didnt wanna do something that didnt make them any money. since you wanted just the hardware and no service they werent getting jack from you at all and just said they couldnt even tho its not a problem at all

I'm hoping one of you guys can advise.
Recently, I switched from Sprint to T-Mobile via the ETF deal they are having currently. My problem is that I want to also switch my son to T-Mobile. But his phone was obtained from the old One Up promotion that Sprint was having last fall. For those of you not in the know, One Up was kind of like Jump, where you could upgrade your phone every year with no contract.
So anyway, in order to get him to T-Mobile, I'd have to buy his phone outright from Sprint. Problem is, is that I would have to pay something like $400! I don't have that lying around (who does???).
I'd love to get out of this somehow and bring him to T-Mobile. Anyone have any ideas, or am I s*** outta luck?
T-Mobile will spend a Max of 600. To bring him over. 300. For etf and 300. For device so you would just owe sprint a hundred

After the second missed Bill the phone would be no good till you pay for it unless you use it at another carrier. They they will report your acct to credit bureaus as delinquent and mess up your credit. Just not worth it.
