I think I might switch to handtec...

Do you guys know if I will be receiving the first batch if I order now?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rock7632:
lol don't worry about it. its my first time as well. last time I got the nexus one directly from google so it was a lot more simple. let's hope handtec is reliable like everyone is saying
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arcticreaver:
dude i didn't know what the heck that was either, so it's all good.

they mentioned nothing about pre-orders. only that they were going to be getting them early next week and that they will processes orders accordingly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justabrake:
We have ebay protection there is nothing to worry abou, They (ebay) better worry your talking about $32,000 in sales, LOL

but I think rsg_1 is bullshitting because the first thing ebay does is give you the phone number of the seller to contact him and I know rsg_1 has been a member of ebay for almost 13 years and he knows this So why don't you tell the truth rsg_1
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rock7632:
ok thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lcrkz0023:
If you are in the 1st batch and arldy paid you will not have to pay anymore. Thats info for people after 1st batch.

As for the ship date, since they US based, they are importing also. So this would be no different than you buying from a UK company and the UK co. ship it out to you on monday, you then would get by wed or something. But in this case, Negri import suppliers are sending GN them which just like if we imported, are not getting them to Wed or something. They have an extra processing step to do, thats how I read into it.

Imma seller on ebay and the phone # is only disclosed if the seller is willing to have it listed. When a dispute happens, ebay ask both parties do you want the seller to have your ph nbr info...its a yes or no question. So if the seller put "no" thats why there was no ph nbr provided.

---------- Post added at 02:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:01 PM ----------

I think so..of course I have no way of exactly knowing, but I think so.

btw..who are you planning on switching from?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nyyankees3511:
I thought negri was only getting 250? Now 500, I now have more hope in my handtec order being fulfilled! !!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rsg_1:
No bull**** here.:mad:

I never ever received any phone number of the seller from eBay. I have given the seller ample to time to contact me, even before opening a case. He NEVER replied back saying, "hold your horses, its coming...". As far as I'm concerned it appears he's abandoned eBay.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NexusoftheUniverse:
Not sure. But if you find out, let us know!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lcrkz0023:
He has abandoned eBay, all signs indicate that behavior....you guys should have got money back the instance ebay took it down. Ive seen plenty preorders on ebay before and never taken down. Hell Ive even sold preorder items. So it was something more than just him having preorder listing that got him removed. Im not here to judge becuase I had ordered with him too, the week of Halloween, but my refund came the same day ebay took down the auction ( I think Nov 2nd). If you guys wait any longer, Ebay buyers/Paypal protection or not, you are just making it that much harder and longer to get your money back.

Good Luck guys!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hiohokaybye:
I know, but it really bugs me the fact that they keep on pushing back the dates constantly. But I am in the first batch :D

I won't be back to where I had it shipped to till the Tuesday after :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ruthlesset:
It looks like GN pre-orders will start this Monday at BestBuy Canada

http://phandroid.com/2011/11/18/can...art-galaxy-nexus-pre-orders-on-monday-nov-21/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] killbox:
What, is there a time limit for ebay protection? I've also pre-ordered from him. What should I do?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] esincho:
Bro, the fact u continue to ignore is where the hell he gone get a 32gb gsm nexus from?!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] killbox:
I just can't understand why he can sell a 32gb device for 600$ that haven't been released, while negrielectronics sells the 16gb version for 870$ Best buys sells unlocked SAMSUNG I9100 GALAXY S II for 800$....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arcticreaver:
does verizon have exclusive rights to the galaxy nexus? as in, they are the 1st carrier to release the phone and then the penta band GSM models will emerge in the States?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hiohokaybye:
He's also ignored the fact that I've told him a billion of times that the phone number is fake. But let him believe what he wants to
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fdm1:
It hasn't been confirmed yet, but this seems likely.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
We don't know how long they'll be the exclusive carrier, or what the contract between Verizon/Google has in it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rsg_1:
You need to open a case with eBay indicating that you have not received your item. After that contact him again, by eBay messaging, since there is NO phone number, and then wait 7 days for him to reply back to you. After that, escalate the case with eBay, no need to contact the seller again, and eBay will respond back to you.

I would wait no longer than the 28th of this month before opening a case. The seller is not contacting me or eBay, so I would like my money back even if he had the 32 GB version in hand today. No more games, at least tell me to wait and not worry, but I don't even hear that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TroyBoy30:
how are you guys ordering from handtec? I dont see a way to ship to the US.

still no where to get a 32 gig gsm one? 16 gig aint gonna cut it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] killbox:
I just sent him a pm asking for refund. Should I open a case with ebay right away, or should I wait a couple of days so he can reply?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NexusoftheUniverse:
Add it to cart and then for shipping choose canada-USA 2-4 days then it automatically changes it to the price without the VAT.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lcrkz0023:
open up a case now!!! there are no 32GB yet!

---------- Post added at 03:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:50 PM ----------

Dang, that sucks...email them and see if they will "courtesy" upgrade your shipping.

or

tell me where you leave and I'll go get it and ship it to where you'll be :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
then get another phone cause there is no 32gb or sign of one
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rsg_1:
Yes! Open a case now. Once open, wait until tomorrow and send the seller a message again. As said, there are no 32 GB GSM GN at this time, and it may be at least a few weeks before one becomes available.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rock7632:
those who ordered from handtec like me, please keep the rest of us posted if/when they ship your order and I'll do the same. thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NexusoftheUniverse:
Will Do.......
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matt2053:
handtec days 21St. I ordered from unlocked mobiles and they say 23Rd. Do you think handtec will really ship two days sooner? If I switch my preorder, do you think I will get the first batch?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] go2mo2:
No idea, everyone is keeping quiet about stock levels so far. I personally wouldn't bother for one or two days, after all, those of us who pre ordered ages ago now have to sit and wait while guys just walk into shops and get them on contract. Not like i paid £520 up front for it or anything!! :-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arcticreaver:
okay so looks like some people got scamed on ebay and can't get their money back?

i pay with paypal but i never choose to pay directly from my checking or savings acct. i always use a credit card. it's just safer that way. because if there are any problems i can always just call my credit card company and ask for a "charge-back" and the credit card company will always get my money back, and sometimes within a day or two.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Never buy electronics from eBay. Uh. Feel sorry for you guys, hopefully everything will work out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justabrake:
I don't care right now after reading about the volume issues :( maybe it's better I don't get it :rolleyes:

**** I hope this is only for the 16GB phones LOL
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TroyBoy30:
Thanks I got it

that's a shame. We have no word on the 32 then hu?

Handtec has a 32 gig listed as new coming soon

I can't decide what to do. I'm moving from the iphone4 to my 1st android. I would rather have an AT&T lte phone. I can't decide if I should wait on the next best thing or what.

How long do you guys think it will be till we see lte ics devices with no bottoms on AT&T?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Arcadia310:
Thinking of going with Handtec but I'm worried about being stuck with 16GB. I have a 32GB iPhone 4S and I only have about 10GB left. Anyone know how much stock Handtec has or when they'll be shipping? If I get stuck in the second batch I'll probably just cancel and wait it out.

Edit: I just ordered, couldn't handle myself. Hopefully I'm in the first batch and get it within the next two weeks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rock7632:
they have 16GB. personally I think its enough because of Google Music
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justabrake:
maybe a recall hold your ordering
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Getting itchy for a 32 myself. I've managed to avoid grabbing a 16 so far.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] piggo:
Those who still thinks a mysterious teen in UK will eventually ship u a 32gb nexus is probably delusional. The odds are completely against that happening and even if it does happen, it will be outside ebay buyer protection period.

1. Seller doesn't respond. Not to buyers, not to ebay staff.

2. Phone number is fake

3. Exclusive GN retailer in UK does not have 32gb version

4. Price undercuts exclusive retailers in UK by a wide margin

I reckon it's already very conclusive that this is a scam. I've already requested for a refund, and ebay will pay me back the money (minus exchange rate losses) by 21st if he doesn't respond. Anyone want to bet a GN that he won't respond? :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justabrake:
PM me the phone number I'll call it right now and I'll respond right back here

---------- Post added at 09:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:05 PM ----------

just give me the phone number and i'll report right back here with what I get

don't give me some ebay email

i'm waiting
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] funkyblue04:
You must have a really good 3G network! This whole problem of sizes would have been fixed if they just included a SD Card slot!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justabrake:
PIGGO -if you can copy and paste an email that fast you can surely PM me a phone number quicker where all waiting

---------- Post added at 09:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:17 PM ----------

PIGGO too too long for a PM :p bye
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] piggo:
Haha I'm not desperate to have you help me make a call :) I still have my phone with me. Anyway thanks for waiting 2 mins. Since you implied that my email quote might be imaginary... I've attached a screenshot of the mail.

http://imgur.com/6IJQh
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justabrake:
LOL FAKE really really you make me laught first off paypal has nothing to do with opening a case paypal only gets the case after ebay can't resolve it then it escalates to paypal

NO PHONE NUMBER PEOPLE :D

please don't reply anymore I'm laughing to hard :)

bye
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] piggo:
If paypal, ebay can't get hold of him, you can? If you can't, isn't that a red flag?

Essentially you just passed $599 to a stranger online who is uncontactable by yourself, ebay or paypal. The product that he sold you have no set release date and might not even exist. And money was already deducted off you, what did u get? Silence, complete blackout... Not even a bag of air.

Thankfully I've located a wholesaler for 64gb galaxy nexus and will be getting a shipment next week. Justabrake, would u like to buy one? I'm selling it for just $650. I'll be shipping it off the second I get it and email you the shipping details. Quickly send me the money before it goes out of stock!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rock7632:
I have T-Mobile and I get pretty good speeds here on my Nexus One. Been using Google Music for a few weeks now and its working flawlessly. I usually use wifi when I'm at home and switch to hspa when I'm out
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blunden:
I use the 32 GB for movies when I travel, not for music so that's kind of irrelevant for many of us who've said the same thing. For music I mostly use Spotify and Google Music so yes, in that way I'm covered but music doesn't really take up that much space unless you only use FLAC anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justabrake:
I just sent him a email but I don't expect a reply anytime soon, from his last reply took I think about 24 hrs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Arcadia310:
I'm just wondering why these companies still have the phone as pre-order when it's already been out for a few days?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] purplecrayons:
Because not every company has received their shipment yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristovaher:
Majority of companies did not receive the shipment this week due to Phones4U negotiating exclusive release. It is still possible that the phone will be not released by others next week, as according to ads, Phones4U have a two-week exclusive.

Amazon has a release date of 2nd of December that is exactly two weeks after Phones4U release. Others (like Clove) still seem hopeful for next week, but I remain doubtful and think this is general strategy to ensure most people don't cancel their preorders and order from somewhere else with a better price.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] purplecrayons:
I thought their exclusive deal only pertained to subsidized contract phones and not the unlocked, sim free version. I'd be pretty upset if I don't get my order for another two weeks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristovaher:
Well, from what I know, there's no place that sells contract-free unlocked phones already. Certainly none that actually ship internationally (not even to Europe). Clove, Amazon etc are all on hold.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] purplecrayons:
The 21st date has been around for a while so I remain hopeful. However, I wouldn't be surprised to be disappointed again seeing as how us Americans are getting the shaft when it comes to this phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] go2mo2:
Its not just you guys in the US, we in the UK that dont want to enter into expensive 24 month contracts or pay massively over the odds for a pay and go version continue to wait for our sim free, pre ordered phones!! I myself pre ordered the gn over 4 weeks ago

Also just a bit of fun but this is your payback for the nexus one, we didnt get it at all! :-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rsg_1:
But it is NOT unreasonable to expect a reply in 7 days! Since Nov. 2nd, our eBay friend has not responded to me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justbabu:
Not true. I ordered my Nexus One directly from Google on 5th Jan 2010 upon release and it was shipped, to London, on 8th Jan.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] go2mo2:
As did i but it was paid for in dollars and i had to pay import tax. Bought from google.com not available on google.co.uk. i would class that as being sold in the us not the uk.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NicholasQ:
Sure glad I am a patient person. $650+ for this phone is ridiculous IMO. I will say it is pretty annoying that there still hasn't been any news on a T-mobile version or them selling at best buy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dkj7777:
Has anyone ever bought a phone from FlagShipFones.com

Sent from my albino HTC Vivid
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] piggo:
Good luck! Think you should be trying for a refund. Somebody out there observed that 32gb stats have been removed i.e it doesn't exist anymore.

I paid on 28th Oct. I've sent an query on 1st Nov, another on 7th Nov and escalated my case to paypal on 11th Nov. Should be getting my money back on tomorrow, 21st Nov.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] purplecrayons:
How are international orders that require different chargers being handled by Handtec? This is my first time having to import a phone so I'd like to know if I have to purchase some sort of converter or a separate charger.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Correct me if I'm wrong but you probably get a European adapter. The MicroUSB cable is standardized though, just plug it into a current wall adapter you have.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NexusoftheUniverse:
Actually handtec apparently will be including adapter for international customers. They added this recently...im hoping the people who ordered early will still be getting the adapter
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
That'd be a really nice added bonus if they did that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] upyouratrix:
That's it! I'm not waiting any longer! My N1 is not making it and with tomorrows deal, it's too good to pass up!

If you buy a Galaxy Tab 8.9 for $479, you get a GS2 or GS2 Skyrocket for free! I have 2 lines that have no contracts, so I'm taking them up on this deal. I finally get to buy my first tablet and I get an awesome new phone, for less than the price to import a Galaxy Nexus.

I already loved the GS2, so I know I'll like the Skyrocket (yes, even though it doesn't have as good of a CPU), but I'll like knowing I'll be future proof with LTE since I'll be signing a 2 year contract.

I gave you as long as I could Galaxy Nexus. Maybe next year...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] STi489:
Think i'm getting a skyrocket too...but the $149 deal...Can't wait...sold my vibrant and using a crummy evo 4g...ditching tmo too...since they wouldn't even give me the 1 day sale price.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] atomic_dude:
Any news from Clove yet? I know the website states 23rd still, but here's hope they start sending them soon... Ordered 4 weeks ago, seems like forever now :-)

sent from my XOOM
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @home:
You & me both - Ordered mine in October - It's time priority was stopped being given to anyone (Especially p4u W*****) & it was available for all on the day of release - No wonder people go for the iphone.

Anyhow heres hoping for the 23rd November
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haroldz21:
I also preordered through cakalyasin via ebay. I preordered it oon 10/24. I am aware ebay has a 45 day buyer protection policy as well, so I'm willing to wait until end of November before opening a case. Anyway at Expansys you can actually preorder the 32gb Galaxy Nexus, for whatever thats worth
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justabrake:
just left the prick a message on his home phone, then called ebay and now I'm going to open a case and get my money back, Oh and I left him a Negative feedback to alert others.

EDIT; I opened a case but not for a refund but for the item just in case LOL
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rsg_1:
Why this sudden change of heart? I thought you were going to wait longer?

If you open a case on eBay, lets say today 11/20, then you must wait 7 days for the seller to respond. If he doesn't by 11/27, you must escalate or close the case, after escalation eBay will respond in 72 hours and then it takes another 7 days to get refunded by PayPal. The earliest you will get your money back is by December 7th.

I was never able to find his phone number from eBay, but I did open a case, there was no response, now escalated as of Friday and eBay will respond by Monday. Hopefully, I get my money back by November 28th.

I'll keep everyone posted here on what happens.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justabrake:
I woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning and felt in a *****y mood :D

I actually read that guys feedback after translation from german to english and decided it's time to feed the fire especially after I called him and he didn't answer my phone call that pisses me off because when I called others (ebayers) they always answered LOL I usually get their attention because they never expect a call from a ebay member

anyway case is open for the item not refund I told ebay I called him and he didn't answer and their are 50 others waiting for this phone and nobody is getting any returned emails or updates and he's sold over $32,000 in phones she said she's going to look into this.

YES I HAVE HIS NUMBER ###-###-####
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rsg_1:
I just left negative feedback too. At this point, he hasn't responded and all I want is my money back. I'll wait until spring to import the GN. No way I'm paying $700+ for a device that may have H/W QC issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haroldz21:
i just sent cakalyasin (ebay seller) this email,

" I would highly recommend that if the delay is much longer than you originally thought for the phone or if you can't get the phones anymore, that you just return everyone's money with a message that you may be able to relist at some other point if your actually able to so. Or at least provide some sort of update to your buyers as to when you expect the phone. I say this so your reputation as a seller is not further tarnished due to your perceived lack of communication. I am willing to wait until the end of November to hear from you but if I don't hear from you by then, I will open a case for a refund with eBay. Thank you."
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Arcadia310:
I received an email from Handtec saying I need to either respond with a verified place of work for shipment (not sure why) or I need to call my bank and get some type of code for the order. Is this standard procedure for international orders? I'm self employed so I doubt my house will count as a "verified place of work".
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nesx87:
If one orders from Amazon UK or Amazon.de, is there a difference as to what type of phone you are gonna get, etc? or is it essentially the same model?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rock7632:
I just received an email as well and it says that my order has passed through all their security checks and will ship as soon as they get it in stock. Did you use Google Checkout for payment? because that's what I used and I didn't specify any place of employment or anything
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justabrake:
I just left another message on his phone about what's he going to do about either shipping it or refunding our money
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slateac:
Does anyone know if the Three (UK) Model is SIM-free/Unlocked?

They have it on PAYG for £499 (+£10 top-up)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristovaher:
Yes there is at least one difference I am aware of. You will get a different charger due to UK using (surprise surprise) different outlets as opposed to rest of the europe. German order should come with a charger that fits majority of EU countries outlets. More information here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC_power_plugs_and_sockets

Galaxy Nexus has a USB charger that can be separated from the adapter though, so you can also charge with a computer.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _illmatic_:
Wow, dude had a complete change of heart. What a joke lol. All the warning signs were there. When ebay remove the listing I just called them and they walked me through filing a dispute AND escalating it up to a case all in the same day. So I don't think you'll have to wait that long to do so. You have buyers protection/paypal, you're good.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haroldz21:
u know if this ebay guy doesnt cme through, which is getting dimmer by the day, I am gonna pre order via expansys usa, they actually have the 32gb gnex on their website right now, no price though
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nesx87:
But i can still use it in uk style sockets like any other appliance, so no problem i guess..

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cyberto:
I just opened a case on cakalyasin on ebay. Hope they'll respond fast
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justabrake:
I could have done the same when they pulled the auction I called and they said if I wanted my money back and I asked if the auction was still good and they explained he wasn't suppose to preauction items and they said I paid for it and they asked if I still wanted the item and I said yes but they were going to refund me right then and their, I wanted to give the guy the benefit of doubt and wait and not run his name in the mud before giving him a chance like some here did, but now a case is in order and the feedback frenzy will begin

where's your feedback ?
