[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shodney:
I wouldn't get your hopes up. I doubt they actually do have it in stock :p

It might just be a tactic to get people to order with them, but I'm cynical like that :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] go2mo2:
I was gonna say, pretty sure nobody has it in stock as its not even released yet lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ghost010:
oh but im not expectating any thing.

i know they wont have it on day 1(17th)

so go dream on about rubbing it in my nose.

and i doubt that there will even be an end of the line or last on the list.cuz the shop i was talking about, doesn't work like that.

only reason why i ordered at handtec was that they would have it at 7th/14th.

but now they moved to week 47.(yes week 47 cuz they said week Commencing 21. so not even the 21th it self)

shipping alone would take up to 5 days.

and that reason has been invalidated now.

there is no reason in pre ordering and getting it week 47. when i can go in week 47 to a store and buy one there.

btw,i never said i would be pre ordering it at a other shop.

i would buy it at an other shop cuz they are releasing it on 21th.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blunden:
Sorry, I must've misunderstood. And my question for the source was that I'm trying to find a place that I can buy it, not to say you weren't telling the truth. :)

Do you know any store in NL that lists it (and having confirmed that they will be getting it) and ships within the EU? We all just want the phone and I'm sure everyone would be thankful (I certainly would be) if you have any information about the 32 GB version that you could share. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
there has been no confirmation anywhere of the 32gb being sold anywhere at launch in the UK. from what i read in a few places it may just a north american release
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blunden:
I know about the UK but that's not the country I asked about. :) There has been other instances when some models are only sold in some parts of Europe and not others so not being available in the UK doesn't mean other countries won't get it. Where did it say that it might be US-only?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ghost010:
ehm.. he said NL. NL isnt UK.

anyways.

i do know sites that will sell it on release. but they are all dutch retailers(NL)

and i do not know if they ship to other country's
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blunden:
Would you mind posting those sites here or the names of the retailers? I'll research the shipping if I just know which ones have confirmed they'll get the 32 GB model. :)

If you don't want to post it here (I get the feeling you are hesitant to do so), perhaps you could PM me the information? If not, perhaps you can say why you can't because I'm sure there would be a good reason if you couldn't?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dmw017:
Why does that sites specs say "1GB(RAM) 16GB/ 32GB Internal memory" ?

I'm really getting paranoid with the way all these spec sheets specify what the memory is in a phone ...

first i thought it could mean 16gb internal with up to 32 via SD card but.. im sure someone who has a nexus already would have find an sd card slot >.> sigh..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djmcnz:
Although the data is in the incorrect field, I assume this means 32GB internal, click on 'Specificaties'. We will see I suppose...

https://www.studentmobiel.nl/gsmsho...-i9250-galaxy-nexus?plan_id=205&provider_id=5
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blunden:
That site strangely lists microSD which we know does not exist on any of the devices out in the wild. The 32 GB maximum they list fits with the maximum possible with microSDHC. I get the feeling that they just have the specs wrong. :( Thanks for trying to help though. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dampchimp:
24, pretty good deal I thought, 500mins,5000 texts and 1GB data...

---------- Post added at 10:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:26 PM ----------

No bloatware, seems to be completely stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Carson1912:
Does anyone know the deal with Vodafone not releasing anything yet and saying they are testing the software?

I got my despatch email from P4U today, getting it on upgrade on voda.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shodney:
Thats odd. They were saying they were unlocked on their Twitter

https://twitter.com/#!/ThreeUK/status/137563241361571842
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mingoid:
OK, this is weird. I put my vodafone sim in, I use the sim unlock, I get network connection and can load a web page. But then I try to make a call, it rings for a few seconds and then cuts off, suddenly I find I have no vodafone connection and it won't reestablish.

Do these sound like the symptoms of the phone being locked or something else?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] electric0ant:
do you get the same symptoms when you use your three sim the same way?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] treble4:
if its simlocked it will say passcode required like it did on my o2 gn yours doesnt sound like its locked
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sitnlow4life:
Thank you soo much

I am staying in Calais France this evening so that i can take the ferry first thing in the morning

Hopefully this all goes well

:-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Highland3r:
Could possibly be apn related?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mingoid:
No it works fine. I just thought if the phone was locked it wouldn't let you connect to the other network at all. Apologies, I know this isn't a tech issues thread but I think we need to know if all/some 3 payg phones are locked.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stretlow:
Thats £816 over the life of the contract!!! :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mingoid:
You mean I need to set up the APNs? Didn't think they affected calls and seemed to be able to get data briefly. I'll give it a go though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Toonshorty:
Just got back from the Metrocentre.

Had a play with the Nexus but mostly it's my Dad that's been playing.

This device is beautiful though!

The OS and phone are both wonderful to use.

Can't wait till the unofficial ports start rolling in.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rusty!:
No worries... I plan popping in myself to have a play, if I hear an accent I'll say hi.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sinbad_NI:
Vodafone claiming that their testing isn't for bloatware, hmmm... think they will loose this customer if they don't get the finger out, now where's my GiffGaff sim.

http://forum.vodafone.co.uk/t5/Google-Nexus/Galaxy-Nexus-Availability/m-p/927121#M11247
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Faz20:
I don't understand Vodafone. They phone me to tell me I can upgrade, I was at work and couldn't take the call so told them to phone me back but got no phone call. Then on the phone I'm told I can only upgrade from Tuesday...I don't know.

Been going into the phone stores in town today and I'm haggling out some sweet deals. Also, I couldn't help but notice the amount of Phones4U hate in here. Anyone care to PM me why it is? Awful customer service I imagine?

With some careful haggling, you guys might be able to get it dirt cheap. I managed to get Three down to £30 a month for 500 mins, 5000 texts and 1gb mobile internet. You guys should try get this, it's a really good deal but I still think I could go lower :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] whyamihere:
I got 900 mins, 3000 texts, 1GB + 2 Orange swappables, works out at £29.46 x 24 months.

Ordered via P4U, the deal is decent but P4U have given me conflicting information regarding when I'll actually get the phone. Was expecting to have it today!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mingoid:
Found when I put my Vodafone sim in the APNs were all set so it's not that. Infuriating.

On the plus side I've been playing with the device all night. I had had concerns about the size, coming from a Nexus One but to be honest I was used to it within an hour. Love ICS, love the screen, annoyed Flash is missing but overall pretty happy (other than lack of phone usage!)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
Snap, but you got it cheaper than me. I got 33.50 for same deal (although meant to be unlimited texts and emails) panther 41 deal?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Faz20:
I could have got it much cheaper but unfortunately I don't really have the cash right now to pay a big sum up front. My friend couldn't help me out much either because have you seen the Tarrifs on O2! Holy shmokes they are bloody expensive and he's going on holiday next week so I don't think I could get something decent on O2 :(

I could wait for a Vodafone upgrade but I don't like what I'm hearing about them tampering with the phone. It's kinda putting me off.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
Ok maybe this might make things easier to understand for orange customers upgrading contractss through phones 4 U.

Quote this post as 'yes' or 'no' if you received orange uk upgrade contract through phones 4 u received today (17/11/11).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
No
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] whyamihere:
Yeah I got the 33.50 deal on the Panther contract but also £100 cash back.

No from me, don't think it's just people with Orange upgrades.

Don't think anyone who has upgraded via P4U has received their Nexus yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
Well you sir are a jammy bastard if you don't mind my language ;) on the other point I thought I read people received from phones 4 u today / yesterday 17/11 but its orange upgrades I want to know about specificly wihoit wasting a new thread. I want to know if they are screwing me over
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] whyamihere:
Those that have received orders from P4U have all been new contracts afaik.

Haven't read anyone getting one as an upgrade as of yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Spinstorm:
I used this seller and within 3 or 4 hours had an unlock code for my O2 locked Nexus which worked perfectly.

It was $12 or £7 and it now an unlocked phone - pretty awesome. Thanks for spotting that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LadFromWales85:
I upgraded with o2. Was offered £179.99 for the phone on what I thought was the £10.50+£6.00 tariff but didn't notice until I completed my call that it was the £15.50+£6.00 tariff! This 'deal' is exactly the same as it is for new customers, except I won't get any cash back! I may give them a call tomorrow to mention this, see if I can get a little credit pushed to my account to compensate.

After a little thought, I remembered that o2 allow you to drop one plan per month after 9 months, so my TCO comes out as:

£179.99 for the phone

£21.50 * 1 (o2 200 with 500MB)

£15.50 * 8 (o2 200)

£10.50 * 15 (o2 50)

A total of £482.99! Which I thought isn't a bad deal for a contract I'll likely not use and a phone worth more than that SIM free! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Spinstorm:
I have been using the Nexus all day today and for every amazing thing about it I have concerns. I feel like this phone is the Android iPhone 4S in much the same way!

Positive

Design - Samsung have made a phone that is the LARGEST phone on the market alongside the HTC Titan (4.65 vs 4.7 inches) yet this phone FEELS so small.

It feels like an iPhone 4S in my hand - except for being much lighter. I consider this to be a true engineering feat in making a phone that is larger than any other phone feel small. The Galaxy S II feels enormous compared to this phone.

Battery

I hate to say it but I literally used my phone from 4pm until 10pm and I was down to 33% battery life - It is still on at 3am but only because I haven't touched it since 10pm. I would be seriously worried about this phone lasting a whole day of 12 hours of moderate use without charging.

Data Hording

I have a 500MB limit on my O2 data tariff and in one evening I used 88MB just browsing the internet and playing with features. The set-up and downloading of apps was done via wi-fi and used 483MB.

If I had set my Nexus up on the mobile network I would have gone over my data allowance in one evening. That really concerns me lots.

Thank you for the ability to set a limit on the Nexus. Do O2 charge you if you go over?

I also got it unlocked for £7 using eBay so that was cheap and quick and only took a few hours.

Couple of other nagging bugs - the panorama doesn't seem to do anything until your panaroma is not photographing what you want - it doesn't start right away!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sitnlow4life:
Ok so i just got to my hotel

Portsmouth looks really far from dover where the ferry is going to drop me off at

Anywhere closer i could possibly get a sim free nexus?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] StuMcBill:
I got it from another thread, I think it was Paul O Brien who posted it, so you should thank him!

Thanks though :D

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WingnutStrikesBack:
Has anyone pre orderd at Handtec.co.uk? I hope i will Get it next week...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigf00t:
Well, my story cut short:

I emailed phones4u customer services and CEO. Complaining about their shoddy service.

Somebody calls me to apologise, tells me I make some good points about the way they handled the launch and there will be an investigation.

My order had now been processed and dispatched, and she gave me a tracking number.

I was out and about at work so couldn't talk much, but I took the tracking no. I also get a similar email to the ones you guys are getting now. Royal mail website down all night. Phone up this morning and they have no record of that tracking no. Which means "it probably hasn't been dispatched"

I also phoned up city link to check if they had anything to be delivered to my postcode- but nothing.

I'm awake now so i'll stay up in the slim chance it might still show up today.

If it doesn't, the CEO can expect another annoyed email. I'm really dreading the aftersales support if theres a problem with the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] trickyhenry:
Just reserved one at	Three store! Im off down town they had 4 in stock.

Update: im at the basingstoke store. 9.22am

Update: got one! Off home!! 9.26am

£499.99 +15 top up

They have some left
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pnnorth:
Yes, about 4 weeks ago. They are still expecting stock on the 21st, although when I placed my order it was due in the 7th so I'm not getting too excited just yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] treble4:
Which seller mate can I have a link cheers
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] trickyhenry:
First post from galaxy nexus!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Good stuff Henry Congrats. Can you observe if the volume setting behaves weird on yours whern you start playing with it pls?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rusty!:
Try calling these: http://www.phones4u.co.uk/store/store_results.asp?postcode=CT179BU
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @home:
Just had a wasted journey to P4U -

Got there at 9am as I was told yesterday afternoon that they had some in but couldn't sell because of price mix up.

So I gets there & guess what - They don't have any in stock & the T*** who was there yesterday is not in today.

So they are expecting 1 in today - 1?? WTF & they cannot sell it as a Sim Free hand set.

That place is so retarded & the idiots who work there don't deserve a job. If p4u was to cease trading today it wouldn't be second too soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theuniboy:
Got my beautiful new galaxy nexus yesterday. The screen is amazing. Face unlock is nifty. But i cant seem to get facebook integration working - pretty sure their app needs updating. And there is no flash plugin available.

Just tried my gfs tmo sim and can confirm that o2 handsets are indeed network locked.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rusty!:
Google deliberately stopped Facebook integration from 2.3.4
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sitnlow4life:
Thank you soo much

You have been nothing short of amazing

I called the store in folkestone they said they will hold it for me. :)

One problem the are saying the price is 629

I thought they lowered it back to 529

I have the twitter feed where p4u stated this twice.

Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rusty!:
Apparently anyone that paid (or pays I guess) £630 will get a £100 refund from P4U, so if they wont budge you might have to suck it up and claim it back.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] whyamihere:
People have been buying GN's from P4U for £529 today.

If they still state £629 instore, present them with that tweet.

The manager should be able to find out that it's £529.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] treble4:
my gn is now unlocked paid like the other guy £7 i couldnt be bothered awaiting for o2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @home:
I rang a store in Leeds & was told that none of the p4u stores would sell the Nexus as a sim free unit.

I guess it's avoiding me :mad:

Yet I see on here people have bought it for £529. How goes?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mingoid:
Tried from this guy on my 3 locked Nexus and he didn't have the IMEI number in his database either. Weird. He refunded me immediately though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ShiroEd:
I bought mine from Phones4U yesterday in Oxford Street for £629.

Just rang them and they're sending me out a cheque for £100 as the phone is now selling for £529.

RESULT!

:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Faz20:
Some bad news for anyone waiting on Vodafone, I think they're lying when they say they aren't doing anything to the phone.

http://forum.vodafone.co.uk/t5/Google-Nexus/Pre-order-upgrade-to-Galaxy-nexus/td-p/896739/page/2

If you look at message 31 on that page, meh :(

Time to leave Voda it seems
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tom Servo:
Time to buy unsubsidized.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stretlow:
Ive just got one in store in Manchester (two shops had it) sales guy quoted 629 advised him that wasnt correct and could he check it.. he scanned one and it is 529. Sold
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] killbox:
Are there no English webshops that sells it unlocked, no sim, pay as you go and ships international that have it stock, or gets within a couple of days? It's suppose to arrive in Norway the 15th of December. I can't wait that long.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bilhouse:
Mine is arriving on Monday from O2. Managed to get it for £450 in the end after all that hassle. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sitnlow4life:
So i finally got it

529.95

Wow what a journey !

Thank you to everyone in this thread for all your help and information.

I can also confirm the phone is unlocked and works with my us tmobile sim.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wilbur-force:
Just picked one up from Phones4u in blackpool .....

shiny shiny :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Spinstorm:
It is from NCKZone - it worked perfectly on my O2 locked Galaxy Nexus.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @home:
Did you buy as a sim free unit or PAYG?

I don't get how I was told no sim free sales aloud, yet people here are getting them?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
The definition of irony at my local bus stop....

I'm missing my phone and its haunting me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] case0:
Has anyone who ordered it as an upgrade through Phones4U had it delivered yet? Or any kind of email contact at all..?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] saquib:
Not received but got a tracking reference from them on web chat, but the reference is not being recognised by royal mail yet. A few others are in the same position.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @home:
Fingers crossed for the 23rd November - Unadulterated Pure Google - Sim Free goodness
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] case0:
Thanks, I'll try live chat again tomorrow, going to rage if they don't sort it soon!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Psych0Chimp:
So the cheapest you can get it SIM-free at the minute is £499+15 from 3?

Are O2 still doing it at £450 and do you have to be an exiting customer?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
It seems that my x10 is pretending to be a galaxy nexus :D

Xda premium app was having a spaz not showing the icons at the top properly and kept disappearing and flashing and stuff. It made me think the buttons were trying to be like the home menu and multitasking buttons that disappear when not required :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] electric0ant:
what is this £450 deal from o2? is o2 selling the phone direct for £450 without needing to be on a contract?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slimfady:
Clove just sent me an email saying that they'll have stock today and are expecting to ship all the current orders by Wednesday
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mhbr12742:
just spoke to someone at Clove, as the previous poster has said they should have stock today but not to expect them to be sent out tonight because they are unsure what time today they will come in.

I also asked regarding the volume issues and he told me that Samsung have confirmed additional checks were carried out before shipment to Clove.

Make of that what you will

Hope that helps though
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristovaher:
I doubt that means anything, the problem was not widely reported before this weekend. But here's hoping that it was just a flawed batch released last week and does not affect this weeks deliveries.

But yes, I also received my notice.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] go2mo2:
Yep got my email from unlockedmobiles, looks like tomorrow dispatch is a go
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kkh786:
Yep, I got the handset for £450 on release day. :)

The GN has the stock firmware like the sim free models supplied by P4U but some people claim the handsets are locked to O2 (I havent tested that on mine yet.. not bothered really!)

I am on a monthly rolling O2 sim only, hence, I always get the handsets direct from O2. I even got my HTC Desire from O2 when it came out first..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] electric0ant:
just spoke to upgrades team and ordered the phone as well, but the guy said will be delivered in 2-5 days, :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @home:
Got the self same email - I doubt we'll have it for Wednesday though - More likely posted on Wednesday
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JonnyBrad81:
any news on a 32gb?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sitnlow4life:
Sim free
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sitnlow4life:
So everyone is getting it for 450 now?

**** did i get ripped off or what ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HooloovooUK:
I've finally placed my order from buymobilephones.net.

T-Mobile upgrade 300 minutes, 300 text, 500MB data with "unlimited web" for £15.32 per month, and £220 for the phone. Although there's a pending charge of £230.23 on my credit card today so I might have to query that. Total cost £587.68 over 24 months.

He said they have stock today, but he wasn't sure if there would be enough to get to my order once they have shipped everyone before me. So I may be lucky and get it tomorrow, otherwise I will have to wait for the next batch. He said I should get a phone call when it is shipped.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @home:
Thanks for the reply.

P4U can implode up their own ass for all I care now. No p4u.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] will_riot:
Handtec have issued an update;

21/11 Update: Good news! Stock is arriving into our warehouse later tonight. With the sheer amount of backorders we hope to clear all orders by Wednesday 23rd November. We have a large amount of stock arriving and any new orders should be shipped on the 23rd and 24th of November. Tracking will be sent via email upon dispatch.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] redmongoose:
Really :eek: ?

They were still saying on twitter this morning that stock was due next week sometime. So will my phone ship today? :D
