I called eBay last night asking for a refund from that guy, and they didn't let me cuz i didn't have good enough of a reason...? But I actually want to order it from a UK site... how should I go about doing this? Email the seller again? or call ebay again?

Also: Should I order it form clove, unlocked mobiles, or handtec? Handtec is the cheapest, Unlock mobiles the most expensive. The earlier I get it the better!! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
No doubt they will. I'm pretty confident.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
can you tell me tonights powerball please !!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
If I knew I wouldn't be telling anyone else :P

My statement above was because Google has no reason not to release the unlocked one in the USA the same day. Verizon can't do anything about that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
sorry if they payed google for an exclusivity period.. then google has too
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Not really. It just means that no other carriers can offer the phone subsidized with their names on it. An unlocked phone isn't on any carrier. Its just sold. I find it hard to believe Google would let VZW stipulate that after how ****ty the Xoom launch went.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] esincho:
That's your interpretation. No one knows how they have it worked out. But we do know Verizon will be releasing it in Nov sometime
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
I understand that, trust me.. But verizon is not dumb. i really hope they announce the unlocked gsm so i can run and cancel my overseas preorder and run into bestbuy..lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
That is true on both accounts. No one knows, so I think it goes without saying that everything anyone says is speculation at this point.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
do you remember last year leaks were coming out months before about the nexus s being a gsm release and it was coming to bestbuy only? we all said BS.. But thats exactly what happened. I think the exclusivity (short time) is real. It has been leaked to many times and there has not been one leak for a gsm unlocked being released other than an fcc filing, which could have just been for travelers from abroad.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rsg_1:
If the GSM GN was coming to Best Buy or Radio Shack, then we might have seen screen shots of upcoming inventory, like there was for the iPhone, as there is quite a bit of interest in this phone. We haven't, but we've seen the possibility of it showing up in at Verizon on Nov. 17th. My guess is that the unlocked GSM versions won't be available in US B&M stores until late January 2012 - and more likely spring 2012. Secondly, Samsung does not want to hurt sales of the GS II during the holiday period which has been doing relatively well. The GS II has been available in EU since last spring, but only in the last couple of months here in the US.

That is the reason I ordered from eBay.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] takgeun68:
true... there isnt any definite predictions at this point, but http://www.geek.com/articles/mobile/samsung-galaxy-nexus-a-verizon-exclusive-not-exactly-20111027/ This article has a valid point...it seems unreasonable for google not to release even unlocked gsm just because verizon has an exclusive for short period of time...lets hope we all run in to best buy near us...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ssells:
As promised we checked with Paypal and Yasin Cakal has a verified Paypal account with no history of problems. From his Ebay reputation and our inquires with Paypal at least so far he has been a reputable seller. Of course Jessie James was an upstanding citizen till he robbed his first bank.

If you want to cancel the bid and have your money returned you have to ask the seller but do so through the Ebay email system so there is a record. Log into Ebay go to Customer service and look up how to retract a bid. Remember the seller is under no obligation to say yes.

If the seller says no then you have to wait see if he delivers the product. The bid is covered by both Ebay and Paypal protection. If he doesn't deliver the product then you can submit a claim through Ebay Buyer Production. You start that automated process through the web site. If he doesn't deliver the product you have 45 days from the date of sale to file a claim.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
definitely agree. I'd be hard pressed to believe VZW can stop Google from selling the unlocked one.

I, personally, will drive to Best Buy. I think I'll make it there faster than running :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] takgeun68:
ye we drive to the store and run in like a mad man lol. one more thing I want to mention is that verizon galaxy nexus sign up page had a exclusive banner when they first had their site, but it was gone in day or two...why would they do that?....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
yeah i forgot about that.. could be that they will be only ones to subsidize the phone.. we just wont know, all i know is that everyday it gets closer and closer to the release date in Euro the more stressed i am going to be.lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lcrkz0023:
In a nutshell go to Resolution center top right corner. File a case. State that you want refund. You will get refund. Its easy. You dont need a reason other than ebay closed the listing and you want your money back. It worked for me.

As for where to buy...if you're in US first try negrielectronics, then second would be handtec and last would be clove....thats the order from cheapest and so on...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hiohokaybye:
Thanks! I'm still trying to figure out how to file a case on ebay, kinda a noob :p

But I just checked on negri, the price is $680 US after the $35 coupon, where as Handtec and clove are both under $450 Euro, which converts to around $650 US, wouldn't that be cheaper?

What would be the best bet if I just want the phone for decently cheap and as soon as possible? Negri? Their shipping address is at Las Vegas, and I'm relatively close to las vegas :D, but its by far the most expensive one

EDIT: Case opened :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rashad1:
you for got to add in the cost of shipping for Hantec, and the UK uses pounds £ not Euros €
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hiohokaybye:
YOUUUU MADE A VERY GOOD POINT! :D thank you for pointing that out! totally missed that!

Soooo negri it is :) fast and cheap :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aviatorarun:
India Launch Date?

Any idea on India Launch Date?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] takgeun68:
That is UK date how about US? still no confirmed date?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justabrake:
anyone know if the samsung stores have the nexus on display especially in NYC

I remember they had the first 7" galaxy tab on display before being released
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hiohokaybye:
The coupon for negri is no longer available :(!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
awww man, im sorry.. I tried to tell you guys to jump on it! they did not know the coupon was still active, so alot of us got away with it.. they probably caught on once i started spreading the word and people started ordering. I know of atleast 20 others that have ordered besides me. Once i put it on twitter, i started getting messages left and right
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hiohokaybye:
Yeah, I was just waiting for that ebay guy to refund my money and he's taking forever :mad:

But I guess all I could do now is wait a little bit till it's closer to the release date and see if there are any new deals that pop up!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justabrake:
I PM the seller yesterday and bought another off him just through paypal ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rsg_1:
^^^Are you kidding?

Through eBay you have some protection, going directly to him opens yourself upto risk. I'm giving the fellow until the end of the month to indicate he's shipping, if not then the process of filing a claim will begin through eBay.

Its probably PayPal.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] VoicesX:
I have my preorder in unlocked-mobiles.com ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
i must say my friend you are nuts.. the 17th is a release in the UK only and there are no 32gb units launching tht day with no indications of it coming to any other country in europe.. either you re in with the guy or are sadly misguided
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Arkish:
added previous entry from mobiles unlocked...

...just pre-ordered on clove and going to sell my desire.

now just have to wait!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daleski75:
Getting the urge to sell my GSII to put the funds towards the nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chandlerweb:
I sold my SGSII a few weeks ago even before the announcement. I started to think it may have been a mistake but the more I read about the Galaxy Nexus, the more I want it. I'm holding out for some better prices before pre-ordering. Im hoping someone can find a sub £500 offering from a reliable retailer. If anyone finds such a bargain, please add it to the spreadsheet in Post #20!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Arkish:
I think it might be arround £500 for the next few months, unless the pre order prices are wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] winwiz:
I think the best place to buy this from will be expansys as QUIDCO are offering 5% cash back on all SIM free mobiles!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cosimoss:
Now dropped to £549.99 and this item is due to be released on November 17, 2011.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MRpeabodyia:
Cheapest yet? Scam?

Killing some time at work and found an article discussing the presale of the Galaxy Nexus. It mentioned this website:

https://negrielectronics.com/checkout/cart/

It lists the 16gb model at 715$ or 420ish p. I am in no way saying to order from them. I did a quick google search and found a few unsettling reviews. I was curious to see what other members had to say about ordering from here.

I found a coupon for 35$ off the order if anyone thought this was legit.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Super Chimp:
Will wait until I have tried it out for a while before selling my Arc.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qwer23:
Import from Germany - nice price!

In Germany, you can get the Galaxy Nexus at Mobilcom debitel off contract for 529.95€, which is about 460.95 GBP, vat already included. (currency converter here)

It's a trusted shop from a German provider, but the phone comes without contract, sim-lock, or branding in this offering. The phone will be available at calendar week 47, which is starting at the 21st of November.

Could be an interesting offering for you guys to import to Great Britain :rolleyes: Just remember that you'll need another charger, but since the GN has a standard USB charger this definitely won't be a problem :rolleyes:

edit: just saw this: "delivery to the following countries: Germany" - "Other countries only upon request!" :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] e-dub:
i ordered my nexus s from there, they were good to me. i've preordered my nexus prime with them.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oliroe:
TMobile UK has just tweeted that they won't be stocking the Galaxy Nexus. Spoke to them yesterday and they said if Carphonewarehouse stock it they could get it for me as an upgrade

Here's hoping
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chandlerweb:
Do you have a link to the tweet? By the way, I have updated the spreadsheet with cashback details for the various UK pre-order offerings.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mhunt407:
Buymobilephones.net have got a preorder here for O2, Orange, Vodafone and T-Mobile.

EDIT: Expected on November 18th. & Updated first post.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mhunt407:
Hope you don't mind, I've added a link to this on the first post.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Anthony2oo5:
Ordered mine via Clove. Spoke to Handtec via web chat and they said its unlikely mine would be shipped from the first batch they have and they don't know when they will be getting the next batch. Clove was more helpful, although they couldn't say for sure, they where more optimistic and helpful.

Come to £523 with next day delivery + VAT.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Arkish:
Have used clove before and was happy with the service, small price difference was not a problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wu_wei_lion:
How would I get this shipped to the U.S.?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chandlerweb:
Sure no problem! The spreadsheet is keeping track of Contract prices as well as SIM Free. I know its not clear but it is on the second tab.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mhunt407:
Thats fantastic! Missed the second tab - thanks for this! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justbabu:
I've pre-ordered from amazon.co.uk.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rsg_1:
With cheapest shipping to the US its 447.47 UK Pounds Sterling = $717 USD.

Also remember you will pay a currency transaction fee with your credit card and you won't get the best conversion rate either. When its all said and done, you pay at least $750 USD. It is NOT worth it at that price.

Even if the eBay fellow can't get the 32 GB, and only the 16 GB, $600 is pushing it. The phone unlocked for 16 GB is only worth $500 in my opinion.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] takgeun68:
wow I see lot of people pre-ordering..I checked some sites that are offering pre-order, but the price was too high..I am pretty sure I will get my hand on the galaxy nexus through best buy..at the same day of launch (hopefully)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
probably. There is no way I pay $700+ for this thing. You've got to be kidding me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djmcnz:
I paid that for my Nexus One... twice actually because I ripped off on the first one, empty box arrived and eBay and PayPal both said "fu" - :mad:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] VoicesX:
In Ebay: $825.00

In my country (Chile) this phone is easy sell to $ 1200 USD. (I buy two, one for me, one for sale.)... The phone is not available in my country until about 8 more months.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hiohokaybye:
How much is it gunna cost at best buy?:confused: I think i might do that if its cheap enough :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _illmatic_:
You ARE the Ebay seller, trying to fool us lol j/k :p

I think every early US Galaxy Nexus adopter wishes and hopes this is/will be true. The truth is there isn't any evidence of Best Buy Mobile carrying this device(besides the Nexus S, which was confirmed with launch details from Google.) nor any evidence of the GSM model launching same day in the US. If that was the case I would think something would have leaked by now. Some BBYM inventory screen or something. Same for the 32GB models, nobody has them except Yasin H. Cakal who with from SD cards and personal items to big time super hyped Google/Samsung phones which aren't available in the US. :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
Last year the Nexus launched on Dec 7th.. we were hearing rumblings of a carphone warehouse/Best buy exclusive like 6 months before it launched. This year this has not been one single leak of that or even a gsm launch. Our ONLY hope of a GSM launch is an FCC passing few months ago and the fact that there is a Universal GSM phone carrying all the necessary bands to run worldwide (including the U.S). There has been no leak when it comes to Carriers, other than Verizon and no leaks of a store exclusive. So anything you hear about a GSM model in the U.S is false. Until announced
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] takgeun68:
Yes..as you said there isnt any evidence thats why I am hoping, updating and checking if any leak out, but every galaxy nexus news is about LTE verizon which I dont have anything to do with it since I am waiting for HSPA+ so I am thinking all this hype about the LTE is just shadowing HSPA+ version's leak or news...maybe not well just waiting patiently..sigh
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justabrake:
I'm not nuts I could show you where I sold a zoom to someone from this forum for $750 and I only joined it a couple of days a go I still have the email in my private messages I didn't know the guy and he didn't know me

I also sold a 6 day old ipad2 that I bought and waited in line for 6 hours and sold it 6 days later because I hated it I never even was in a thread with that guy before and he sent me a paypal also for 750 about not sure and that was over at sinful-iphone website and that place I wouldn't trust too many in there but here the guy wanted it and he sent me the money and I sent him the ipad2

here this guy has feedback and he's a member of ebay and has no marks against him

if any of you would like to see that private message here that I sold to the guy in this zoom thread let me know.

the problem here you all seem so concerned about people maybe you've done something to someone and your afraid it might come back to you LOL

who you screw ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Probably under $550 assuming it comes there.

---------- Post added at 12:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:10 PM ----------

No I think people are perplexed why you would send someone overseas $700+ for a device that hasn't even come out yet, without any kind of buyer protection via eBay.

But y'know everyone has different thresholds for whats acceptable.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
I say more... the razr is 649 off contract. If I had to put a number id say 599. if we are lucky. it might even be more
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
All of the high end LTE phones on VZW will be $600+. VZW can set the off-contract price to whatever they want because the phone is locked and made for VZW anyways. Truly unlocked GSM phones are a little different.

I'm basing my predictions on the fact that the Nexus S launched for $529 last year. Also, the UK Galaxy Nexus is 549 GBP, and UK prices usually translate equally to the launch prices in USD.

I'm ready for it to be $550 USD.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hiohokaybye:
WITH TAX :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] takgeun68:
yes I would think around 550~600...it sux that every news involving galaxy nexus is the LTE verizon....:(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djmcnz:
For the (US) Americans here... what about Canada?

I may be barking up the wrong tree of course but has a GSM release been announced there?

That would surely be easier for you than getting a European one (delivery, shipping cost and warranty blah, blah).

Damn, I'll be in Canada the week of the 17th... hope they're not less expensive than I can get here in EU because I pre-ordered!

Edit: 4500 posts... hmm, I spend too much time on XDA!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Only a European launch has been announced. No word on N America.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _illmatic_:
I think its more about the fact of the 32GB model more so than buying the Galaxy Nexus as a whole. I think a lot of people here wouldn't be as hard against the seller if he wasn't selling a device that no one else is selling at all. No price, no date, no info. Just too many variables going on that we don't have facts for. BTW I do have 2 coming to my house from the Ebay seller from a friend who is currently overseas serving for the USA.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
exactly the issue..... im not one to need a 32gb. im not one to stick movies on my phone.. i stream songs and movies via wifi if i need to.. just some songs. about 5-6 gb worth. I survive on my sensation with an 8gb card. so i now i am ok
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] killbox:
Why are you guys complaining about 700$ for the phone. I'm happy as long as I get the 16 gb for under 890$. I've pre-ordered from that ebay guy, but I think there is a bigger chance of not getting it from him than getting it. All my other phones have costed about the same amount (Desire HD, Hero, Touch Pro, Touch..)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justabrake:
I called the samsung store here in columbus circle NYC and asked about them having the nexus on hand They said they will have it when it gets a release date,

thats a verizon date not a european date

So anyone that wants to look at it before purchasing thats the place to see it first
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] takgeun68:
we are talking arguing suggesting and complaining, but I know in couple of weeks, we will all be in galaxy nexus android development section searching for ROMS (since already rooted) and this thread will be dead lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
man i was like a pig in **** when i found it for 680...It was far less than any ther place i could find. besides that ebay 32gb auction , which i wanted to no part of
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justabrake:
the most I paid for a phone was the SGS2 and that was a piece of junk I hope samsung does a little better with the google phone then there flagship garbage I sold that 2 weeks later I hated a plastic feeling phone

I've bought all the iphones and they feel nice holding them the most I paid was 399.99 for a 32 iphone 4 but quality is where it comes from and that is america

now i'm paying another 600 bills a piece for these hoping to make some money off the second 32GB phone thru craigslis gonna ask 725 :D get some money back

still please samsung do google a favor and give some quality in hand to phone for once :o
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lcrkz0023:
Its not necessarily the paypal transaction per se. Its the fact that there has been no mention of the 32GB for sale anywhere and then you would go and make a risky transaction like that. Those other items you mentioned the Xoom and Ipad2 those item actually existed which made the transaction more feasible.

No one knows this guy, so just b/c he sends an email saying he has them or he will send them doesnt really mean a dang thing. Anybody can say that sh**!!. Atleast dealing with actual companies they have a contractual obligation to follow thru with the deal. This ebay guy doesnt have to follow thru with anything if he's found to be neglience.

So at the end of the day its your money, so do what you like. Just keep in mind when "hot" items are being released along with it approaching the holidays, Scammers are fishing!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] killbox:
I'm used to HTC quality, and they have until now at least, made phones of great quality. So I hope the plastic feeling doesn't disappoint me. I'm still a little eager to get the Note as well... the note is shipping already.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justabrake:
I like the HTC and LG feel to them that SGS2 was like holding cheap cheap plastic worst I've ever felt not saying the plastic was cheaply made saying it felt cheap as junk light as a feather I like having and holding something of quality so I know I'm holding something that SGS2 wasn't even in my hands LOL :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vagelis:
If we look at the currently available information and concurrent releases, and willing to draw from past experience the following would seem logical.

-. VZW will be the only US carrier to release the LTE model this year, perhaps around the post-Thanksgiving timeframe. As many have mentioned, with RAZR and Rezound fresh off the oven, that seems the logical course of action from past events.

-. Sprint will be left out of the release, since their LTE deployment has not even taken off yet, and WiMax is a no-show.

-. T-Mobile and at&t can both be served by the HSPA model since it is pentaband however the likelihood of releasing that subsidized before the end of the year is highly improbable.

They both have just let go new GSII's off the gate, and at&t just released the stratosphere, which although has not ICS on release. has a decent spec sheet and LTE (for the 10 or so markets). In short, until March or so, it would make sense not to expect it. And by then, who knows what new toys Samsung will come up.

-. For Canadian releases, the picture is blurry too however they are known for bringing one-off devices in limited release, if I am correct (CA users definitely know more on that)

So for the early (non-verizon) adopters, importing would be the reasonable course of action for the next three (or more) months.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justabrake:
I wouldn't even consider a 16GB knowing a 32GB is gonna be out no one wants 16GB you'll never be happy having that ,you should wait and buy the 32GB

you put some movies on it some music and it's full hard to resell a 16GB also you'll never get any resale value when people have a 32GB

all that are buying 16GB you should wait they are just dumping these small phones off to the first customers you won't be happy
