not true.. i was happy with my n1 with a 16gb card in it. i was fine with my 16gb nexus s. I ill be fine with this too :) especially with cloud services
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djmcnz:
You do realise the iPhone is not made in America right?

That's Chinese quality for you... :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justabrake:
it' was Thought up in AMERICA american ingenuity and only made in Taiwan you do know THAT!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djmcnz:
Yes, and all the Nexus phones were "thought up" in America too... I'm not seeing your point...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justabrake:
but they let samsung make the phone I'm sure google had nothing to do with the plastic they are using
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djmcnz:
No, Google insisted on a change for this.

The Nexus has an internal metal chassis, unlike the rest of the Galaxy range... :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justabrake:
well i know google wanted to make sure nothing was anything like a iphone and that they insisted to make any changes that resemble anything like an iphone they don't want apple after there asses for sure like samsung got in two countries LOL

so they have a metal chassis sounds good and heavy, Yeah
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] esincho:
I will not pay $700 + for a phone again. I did it twice before importing from Europe. If I would have waited a month or so, i could have saved at least $100

Samsung Makes Nov. 17th Galaxy Nexus Launch (UK) Officially Official

http://phandroid.com/2011/11/04/samsung-makes-nov-17th-galaxy-nexus-launch-uk-officially-official/

:o
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
we ahve known about this since 9am this morning :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justabrake:
let me guess, one was the SGS2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] esincho:
Lol. No sir. I'm too embarrassed to say what phones. But one was a Nokia that I hated. And a HTC.. ;-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _illmatic_:
I've actually never had anything more than 8GB in a phone before. I have an ipod I normally use for music, netflix is my go to for movies and I just recently uploaded my whole album collection to Google Music. All 16GB will most likely go to pictures/apps which I upload/delete on a regular.

Wise man once said "Its not the size of the boat, its the motion in the ocean" ;)

ICS FTW!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matt2053:
Some of you guys are very optimistic, I think.

Remember, the ONLY Nexus S model available in the US was the i9020T T-Mobile version.... for EIGHT MONTHS!

Now, we have Verizon exclusive.... It is feasible to me that the Verzon Galaxy Nexus will be the only model available in USA for a long time.

Maybe you won't have to wait long... but maybe you will have to wait longer than you think!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] androidpixar:
I'm seeing the Galaxy Nexus on Ebay for 800 or so for ATT, is that for real?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Yeah. Pre-orders on eBay and importers are $700+ so I believe it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hiohokaybye:
Tried to call that ebay seller, gave ebay a fake number, that bastard! :( i'm really worried now :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rsg_1:
Then report him to eBay.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hiohokaybye:
I called eBay this morning and filed a claim should I call again to report him?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justabrake:
your a virgin to ebay LOL get a life :rolleyes: you have 1 purchase and you joined

Jan-24-10 in United States

no wonder , don't listen to noobs

IF ANY ONE HERE CANCELED THERE EBAY AUCTION FOR THE 32GB NEXUS because of HIOHOKAYBYE shame on you he's had one feedback and has been a member for 1 year with ebay and he's calling people scammers I hope you didn't follow this looser and do that ! I have been with ebay for over 10 years and there is nothing wrong with this seller.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hiohokaybye:
Whoaaaa easy there, I am not telling everyone to cancel their orders. I am canceling mine because it seems sketchy. Its slightly strange how defensive you get about this. And my eBay account isn't hiohokaybye ... nice try tho.

I simply want to cancel it because I want to actually have an estimation date for my phone. Don't go around and accuse people for things that they don't do. Being on eBay 24/7 =/= give you a life fyi.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Why are you so seriously defensive? You're being very rude.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hiohokaybye:
I wholeheartedly concur with you. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justabrake:
you enticed people and then drag this seller through the gutter your a piece of crap he has almost 300 positive feedbacks and I have over 354 positive feedbacks and I know what I'm talking about

keep your bull crap canceling to yourself lowlife and leave people be your a 1 auction buyer in a year and your going to distinguish a scam get lost looser
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hiohokaybye:
Cool story bro. Thanks for sharing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justabrake:
because this looser is telling people to cancel there auctions when there is nothing wrong with it.

---------- Post added at 08:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:00 PM ----------

I found you out didn't I LOL
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _illmatic_:
Its not like he's telling everybody don't buy from that dude. He just doesn't trust it for his reason. Ebay pulled the listing, that was enough for me to cancel and order from a US site. If anything since you trust the seller coming through with the 32GB just rub it in all of our faces once you have it delivered to you. Take pics with it and LOL at all of us over paying for the 16GB model by $80-$150.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justabrake:
The seller answered emails and said what the problem was and sent follow up emails through ebay and and said he will ship when it gets release

this guy keeps telling people in other words it's a scam

it's NOT a SCAM this guy is legit it's hiohokaybye thats a scam

You're acting like a child. Take it to PM's if you want to argue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hiohokaybye:
LOL please don't encourage him. There's no need for him for flood my inbox.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justabrake:
get lost your the one I'd be afraid to buy from :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hiohokaybye:
Good thing I don't sell anything on eBay. Nor do I ever plan to. Are you done with your rage yet?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justabrake:
it only takes 5 minutes to get your money back please do it now I'm tired of you for the last 3 days saying this please just go and get it over :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hiohokaybye:
I've actually emailed him since Wednesday, again on Thursday and Friday, no reply. And called him this morning. Not his actual number. Called eBay customer support, they tell me to wait a few days. I actuallu want my money back asap as hard as that is to believe.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] piggo:
Woah... Relax... assuming the seller, an entrepreneurial teen, knows nexus is in demand (and should retail between 500 - 600) and is in need of a short term loan for tuition fees. It's next to impossible to get a short term unsecured credit line from banks. So why not leverage on his ebay reputation, pre sell a whole bunch of nexus, pays his fees and fulfill his end of the bargain maybe a month or 2 from now when cashflow improves? Any delays in 32gb would be to his advantage, if it retails below 550, he gains above it can be considered as interests cost... win-win situation.

If he decides to sacrifice his ebay reputation, which I think is silly to sacrifice a future source of income, then I guess there's ebay buyers protection :p

Disclaimer: I bought one and don't plan to ask for refund anytime soon. And if you need a refund to fund the purchase of GN somewhere else, you're better off saving up the cash for the recession ;) just my 2¢
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matt2053:
Keep going, guys! I really want to see this thread locked!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _illmatic_:
So thats why UK wanted their own thread lol:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
This is some perverse form of self torture. In your quest to find TEH BEST DEALZ EVERS you wound up subjecting yourself to more pain and torture than just $&);ing waiting for the actual announcement.

I just don't know if I should laugh or cry.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Very true. I can't remember if I said in this thread or another but basically the phone doesn't come out in the UK for another 2 weeks, so why worry about pre-ordering now? Its gonna suck really bad when you pre-ordered for over $700 and it comes out in the US for $550. If at the point when its released in the UK its still not here in the US then you can import if you have extra money to burn, but why deal with it now?

Every pre-order online has the potential of being a scam considering that there is a bit of vagueness about pricing and availability. Just take that into consideration.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hiohokaybye:
Hopefully that won't be the case. But it could be like the iPhone where you know the price will be like $300 less when apple releases the unlocked version on their website, compared to eBay. Nevertheless, people still buy them on ebay.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Oh of course. And I think (hope?) that people understand they're generally going to be paying a large premium to pre-order and get it imported, just like people who buy an iPhone on eBay 2 days after it comes out pay the extra cost to not stand in line (as you said).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lcrkz0023:
The code still works...just tried it for the hell of it and it worked.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hiohokaybye:
You're absolutely right! Strange how it didn't work this morning. But thanks for the update :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
tried it for ****s n giggles and it applies $35 off for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rsg_1:
Its still too much from Negri Electronics. Whenever the GN comes to the US, it will be about $500 - $550 unlocked for 16 GB version and $550 - $600 unlocked for the 32 GB version.

At $680, this would work out to be 24% more expensive. A max of 15% premium is acceptable to get it first.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _illmatic_:
I'm pretty sure most of us preordering the device aren't just doing so because we don't believe it'll come out in the US at a latter date, but doing so because we want our hands on it Nov.17-30, and the price of $xxx is accessible. I just find it hard to believe that it will be available unlocked at Best Buy Mobile that day of release, or a month or so after that. If it was coming soon to US why not announce to the public that a GSM ver is on the way? Why say "LTE for US market and GSM HSPA+ for UK and rest of the world" if you secretly plan to release it same day or a month later unlocked in the US?

Not saying its not possible, but from the info we have it doesn't seem likely at the moment. I know, I know, "the Nexus S released at Best Buy Mobile unlocked" yes it did, but it was ANNOUNCED and CONFIRMED by Google before release date. It wasn't a surprise. So unless I hear something from Google, or a leaked shot from Best Buy Mobile, I'm deff importing and not looking back or having buyers remorse because I paid $130 more to have it months earlier than any other GSM carrier. If I was worried about over paying for the Galaxy Nexus I'll just switch over to Verizion on Nov. 17th and get it on contract. /end rant :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Yes obviously. You're paying for the privilege of knowing that as of this moment you will be getting yours first. Some are willing to pay extra for that.

Because there isn't ever going to be marketing by Samsung/Google for an unlocked device in the USA. How many Nexus S commercials did you see?

Actually they never said that. They just said there were 2 versions, 1 LTE (not specified but obv for Verizon) and 1 HSPA+ (no countries specified). They never indicated at their launch that the HSPA+ was only for the rest of the world... Even when announcing the date of Nov 17 for UK and parts of Europe it was never indicated that it was not going to other locations.

Switching to the most expensive carrier and signing a 2-year contract is THE most expensive thing u can do to get this phone :P #justsayin

Lets just get real here guys. Google makes the Nexus for developers. There are LOTS of developers of Android apps in the USA. They wouldn't force devs that want a Nexus (who regularly buy unlocked, and really prefer it be GSM) to switch to Verizon or buy it and import it from Europe. Just think about what this device is meant to be when you make your speculations.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Not only that: who the f&$@ would run LTE and a Nexus on a 2GB cap? It's like trying to climb Everest with an elephant on your back. You can do it but man why? Just why?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matt2053:
I agree, Verizon is by FAR the least attractive US carrier to me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matt2053:
When the Nexus S came out, you had to either switch to T-Mobile or import. If memory serves correctly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _illmatic_:
None, but you knew the what, when, and where, when it came to release date for the device. They clearly said GSM ver unlocked from Best Buy Mobile with Bands x/y/z.

http://goo.gl/NeyT4

No one said that the GSM model would never come to America, but in the announcement it was stated they were working with major carriers to get the phone out in different markets. All these UK carriers have been confirmed and then Verizion. No ATT and T-Mobile. Nothing else has been stated about that. Zilch, nada, nothing. No leaked Best Buy Mobile roadmap, no insider leak to media outlets, no Google or Sammy saying it will be available unlocked in the US on X date. So for now its just a guessing game or a waiting game whichever you prefer.

Yeah in the long run, but I just prefer GSM over CDMA for times like this. A phone coming out overseas that I really want, but no US GSM carriers/Best Buy Mobile have plans to release it. ;)

Yes, that is true, however Google also plans to release their next flagship phone through a CDMA carrier in the US with no known plans of any other carrier support in the US. GSM or CDMA. So if I don't want to switch to Verizion or import from UK what other choice do I have? Again, nothing AT ALL has been said about any other releases of GSM ver in America up to this point. Sorry, but any and all talk about Best Buy Mobile or the unlocked ver releasing in the US is ALL SPECULATION. Who knows, maybe they will release the GSM US ver to the Google Dev Market to get the phones to the devs that want it? IDK :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
Dude you need to relax. Why are you so defenSive and out spoken when it comes to this? Makes us think.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] takgeun68:
Relax ppl there ppl who would want to spend extra cash to be an early adopters of galaxy nexus not risking any chance of no unlocked GSM release on US. Just because they are ballin and have the money to spend and we dont, lets not be mean but just wait for our call. If US does release unlocked gsm at the same day, then we can say "I told you so, I can spend rest of the $100 on case and some nice dinner"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
I wish it would release the same day. I can cancel my preorder whenever i want.they will not charge my card until the day it ships. so im good :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justabrake:
just wait a little longer when they all hit ebay prices will drop and the competition will begin,

secondly I wouldn't buy from any of them linked from here because some of these guys are from websites trying to get you there to buy with a coupon

These guys are like scammers but another word is troll for them, it's the same guys that keep talking the same websites over and over

---------- Post added at 10:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:38 AM ----------

STOP trying to tell everyone about your coupons please, you have been doing this to long here it's becoming very obvious of directing traffic to that website already let the people find their own phone
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
nice deflect..lol. i dont even think that coupon is active anymore.I think they deactivated the coupon cause to many were pre-ordering using the coupon.it was not MY coupon fool. I happened to pull search on google to see if i could find one and i did.so i shared it. i only mentioned it once in my initial post to share with the community. what are you talking about? LMAO. its a preorder thread, all i did was share what i thought was a good deal from a reputable company instead of taking a chance on ebay.it was an option, either you liked it or not.. you act like i was posting it over and over or begging people to use my name as a referral .
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] takgeun68:
Hmm Yes..I said before it seems like every galaxy nexus news is about the LTE verizon but that does not mean GSM is not coming out...my understanding is that galaxy nexus LTE has much more demands (also google wants to compete with other LTE device and thats why they want make hype about it) and only ppl like us are waiting for the GSM...just because thats the case google delaying the GSM version will only hurt their sales and is unreasonable action, I mean why not just release everything? cuz verizon paid some $$? then why did verizon close the exclusive banner? if exclusivity is true, they have every right to do claim that the galaxy nexus is exclusive right? but they did not..... Maybe I am over thinking but just hoping I am right
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Mom and Dad! Stop fighting. You're scaring us!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
i think that exclusivity banner was real.. just some idiot on verizons end posted it to early.. when it is officially announced you might see that banner again.(maybe) lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] takgeun68:
maybe but other phones like Rezound or the RAZR was claimed to be exclusive from the very beginning but galaxy nexus was not announced as exclusive, and they never mentioned about exclusivity except the stupid banner that disappeared ... ye lets see I mean I can say whatever but it does not matter unless it actually happens so..I just hope google is not a sell out cuz if the exclusivity is ended up being a true then they are sell out..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] e-dub:
absolutely.

i don't want to switch to verizon, i don't want anything to do with that carrier or cdma. i've been with at+t since 2007. i signed a one year contract and have never had a subsidized phone through them. they provide me with a decent service, i'm not tied in to a contract, and i can use whatever phone i want that will jive with their bands. i'm fortunate that i can do that, and i like the peace of mind of knowing that i'll have a nexus prime no matter what the carriers/samsung/google decide to do and likely have it very soon.

at the end of the day, if you're paying 715.50 + shipping or more and DON'T feel like you're getting ****ed, you didn't get ****ed. no need in telling people they're "idiots" or "stupid" for paying what they're ok with paying. i bought one from negri at the price above (second best price on google shopping, the only lower price was from a store with no ratings at all) and used the 35 dollar off coupon to offset most of the price of next day shipping. do i feel ripped off? absolutely not.

eric b
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
very nicely said.... Most people are going to be surprised when this phone finally makes it to north America and its 579-599 ,add the tax and end up paying near 650 for it anyway. Do I think paying about 50 dollars more to get it possibly even before verizon users get it , is worth it.. Hell yea!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Arcadia310:
I'm on AT&T and looking to get the Galaxy Nexus on launch day which is looking to be Nov. 17th. What sites/companies are the best to import from?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] e-dub:
https://www.google.com/search?q=gal....,cf.osb&fp=8a82b5efd836f454&biw=1280&bih=666

i'd go with the second. i've dealt with them before, there are coupon codes online and they're reputable.

eric b
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hiohokaybye:
He's got a good point here, this is a preorder thread; aka you share about the deals and where you preordered your phone on. Not going all bat**** when someone decides to cancel their order on eBay because of personal reasons for trust and among other things. There's nothing wrong with sharing a deal here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
Id suggest you read the many pages.. There are a bunch of different ones we are all using
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] takgeun68:
I am tweeting google nexus if gsm version will release the same day I am pretty sure no reply but trying...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] esincho:
U not gonna get an answer
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] takgeun68:
ye probably lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
Lol.. Good luck with that. I have been doing that since it was announced in hong Kong. I have tweeted @SamsungMobileUS, @Samsungtweets @TMobileHelp, @TMobile and get the same bs responses
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matt2053:
Just for fun I'm going to make some predictions here that I believe have a decent chance of being true:

1) Those who have preordered unlocked GSM version will have their devices before Verizon customers :)

2) You will not be able to buy the GSM version in the USA until January at the VERY soonest, I wouldn't be surprised if it's Spring or Summer.

3) When it finally does arrive, there will be different models for different carriers. You'll still have to import the pentaband version.

We can come back to this post later and judge my predictions :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
I agree wit just about everything you said here. except for the part about the pentaband. i believe that will stay to accommodate tmobile users once att takes over. That is another one of the main reasons i jumped on this phone. the ability to use it on either network once big blue absorbs them
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matt2053:
That is the one that is least likely. Just guessing. But I heard a rumor that T-Mobile might have one with a different chipset that can do 42 Mbps HSPA+, and there is some mystery device out there called I9250T :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
who would want that? not me.. less development
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
I have no idea why you'd want a 42mbps HSPA+ restricted to AWS more than having a 21mbps HSPA+ that's pentaband for world use.

---------- Post added at 05:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:21 PM ----------

Maybe.

carrier subsidized? Probably. Unlocked? You can bet it'll be available before the end of the year.

Samsung does this with the SGSII (makes carrier-specific versions), they're not going to make several versions of the Nexus. There are 2 versions, one LTE and one HSPA+. Google won't fragment its own dev phones. This is the exact reason why they made a pentaband one, so there can be one GSM model for the whole world.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matt2053:
We'll see. We already know the existence of at least two additional models, I9250T and I9250M. Also, there are no fewer than seven distinct Nexus S models.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
"Apparently, the GT-i9250M model is expected to arrive on shelves in Canada, while the GT-i9250T variant might arrive on the market in Australia at Telstra. "
