Just spoke to "Angela" on the phone and she said that they have not had any stock and will not get any until next week at the earliest. Good luck but don't hold your breath :)

I am also waiting on a t mobile handset from them.

21st November 2011

This fantastic Google handset is finally landing... and here at BuyMobiles we can't wait to get our hands on it!

The Samsung Galaxy Nexus handset arrives with BuyMobilePhones tomorrow (Tuesday 22 November). It’s in short supply due to its overwhelming popularity pre-orders will be fulfilled as priority on a first-come-first-served basis.

The Samsung Galaxy Nexus is an Android pure-blood with a host of fantastic features, including a Super AMOLED 4.65 inch touchscreen, a 5 megapixel camera as well as a secondary camera, a 1.2GHz dual-core processor and running the latest version of the Android operating system, Ice Cream Sandwich!

Get your Samsung Galaxy Nexus handset absolutely free and pay just £30.64 a month! This T-Mobile deal includes 900 cross-network minutes, 500 texts, 500MB data + unlimited web and email!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] edmacfly:
In the same boat as you redmongoose although having ordered at the tail end of last week, not expecting much luck on a delivery from the first batch, if they do actually arrive tomorrow. Fingers crossed I guess!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] redmongoose:
They have just told me that they should have enough stock being delivered to fulfill all existing orders.... yay :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HooloovooUK:
In that case "Craig" is lying!

And he sounded like a decent guy too ...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] edmacfly:
Get in! (hopefully)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmace:
Gum Mobile have confirmed mine will be sent today for delivery tomorrow.

They've been brilliant at replying and keeping in touch (plus getting money off from buying my past 2 phones from them!) Would recommend them to anyone!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Knilux:
Ordered mine from then on the 18th, didn't receive any email yet :(. I really hope to be in the first batch...

By the way, did you test the phone from gummobile for the ghost volume bug ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmace:
I haven't got it yet

I ordered mine on the 13th
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HooloovooUK:
Is yours a new contract or an upgrade? Mine is an upgrade that I had to do on the phone, so I don't get to see any tracking info online ... unless you know some way of doing it?

I haven't been given an order number or anything, and My T-Mobile isn't showing any pending changes to my contract. But they have charged my credit card already!

What deal did you get?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] redmongoose:
I am going for a new contract 18mth £30 600 mins 500 texts unlimited internet - handset £59.99, £30 quidco cash back. TCO £611

Having spoken to them on the phone about an upgrade they spoke to t mobile and wanted £160 plus vat for the handset via an upgrade - so this was no go for me. Only downside is I will have to port my number away from t mobile and back again.

I ordered online so can see via my buymobilephones.net account page.

Order is currently pending:

"Order in processing.

Your application for a mobile phone is being processed. You will recieve an email when this is complete."
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HooloovooUK:
Isn't that a total cost of £570?

The guy I spoke to about an upgrade somehow managed to quote a price for me without speaking to T-Mobile. I'm not sure how he did that.

But I was offered 24 months £15 300 mins 300 text unlimited internet + handset cost £220 including VAT. Total cost £580 which I thought was a good price for 2 years service.

Of course because I had to order on the phone I missed out on the £30 cashback.

I've emailed and asked for my order number and if I can track it online. Still waiting for them to get back to me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrPaveL:
Guys, I'll be in London over the weekend and I'm looking to buy GN, however I wasn't able to find out if any major phone shops like phones4u or carphone ... sells it sim unlocked w/o any deal ?

Maybe I'm blind :-/

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] redmongoose:
I spoke to the same guy you did last week and he called t mobile so I assume they get a certain amount of commission from t mobile for upgrades and it is not nearly as much a new contract.

In terms of the contract: 18 x £30.64 = £551.52 + £59.99 = £611.51 I don't count cash back as It is never guaranteed ;-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slateac:
Does anyone know if the PAYGO versions from carriers are unlocked?

I plan to get it from 3, £499 with topup
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HooloovooUK:
Yes, I guess he must know how much T-Mobile will offer and so didn't bother phoning up. I'm just paranoid that I did myself out of a good deal - maybe if he had called T-Mobile would have offered more than he was expecting and I'd have paid less for the phone?

But at £587.68 over 24 months I'm satisfied I got the cheapest deal I could possibly find, so no point worrying I suppose.

Can't wait to get it now!:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] redmongoose:
Fingers crossed, from their twitter this morning ......

@buymobiles_help buymobiles.net

We are just awaiting the delivery and to confirm the amounts. There may not be enough to fulfil all orders waiting.

@buymobiles_help buymobiles.net

We are receiving a delivery of the handset today, however there will not be enough to cover all orders.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] case0:
I think this makes it a little clearer for my position now. Lot's have people have said their stockists are getting stock today, the 22nd.

That would explain why Phones4U told me my upgrade couldn't go through until today, even though Orange told me there was no hold up on their end. It seems Phones4U must have run out of stock?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mnemoch:
If anyone has a tip on this too please I would be thankful. I have a friend in London but they aren't going to go looking I would have to send them to the right spot. I'm in Barbados so a bit hard to check around myself unfortunately...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
Looks like verizon customers will get to call it the Nexus Prime afterall :)

http://www.gsmarena.com/leaked_ad_r...php?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

Mark.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crowdofone:
Just called them and said they were 'let down by their supplier' and don't know when they'll receive any. Was told if i ordered now then best they could say just to be on the safe side was not to expect it for 7-14 days.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nigelw:
I'm coming to the end of my T-Mobile contract, so is that what they offer through Carphone Warehouse or similar? When I spoke to T-Mobile they said they were not doing the Nexus but did not offer any 3rd party upgraders.

Seems to me T-Mobile are hopeless at retention, it's cheaper to take out a new contract... I had the same issue when upgrading from my G1 to Desire, T-Mobile wanted £250 for the handset, I got it online for £20 and next day delivery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] plonkersaurus:
I called T-Mobile and they said they would source one for me! In the end they put an offer on my account so I can go into Carphone warehouse and pick one up when they arrive.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crowdofone:
That's the offer they got over at buymobilephones.net.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] redmongoose:
None for new orders but I have just asked them if they got any delivered today and.......

"We have received a delivery today and orders are being processed, however we haven't received enough stock to fulfil all orders"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nigelw:
Did they say how much they want for it at T-Mobile? I was on an 18 month x £30 contract for 600mins, looking for something similar I expect. I was told by Carphone Warehouse they do this sometimes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] L60N:
£36 x 18 + £100 = £748 in total, less £110 trade in = £638

400mins + unl txt + 750mb

I traded my 18 month old desire for £110, in hindsight that was a huge mistake, should have kept it as a back up device. :o
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jss42:
Just picked one up, SIM free at phones4u oxford street!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mongroovy:
Anyone ordered from kingofgadgets.co.uk and got a shipping number? Still waiting for mine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chandlerweb:
After the prices back down to £529 there?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GR36:
CPW will be £515 sim free.

No networks have said they will have it on p&g yet. as that is usually cheeper.

They start selling them on monday.

got mine reserved £415 :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mdh007:
unlocked-mobiles.com

Anyone get a shipping confirmation from unlocked-mobiles.com? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TonyHoyle:
Yes.. got one Monday night. Dispatch Today, so the phone should be arriving tomorrow morning.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stea1thmode:
all three phones are basically locked. There is an option to unlock once you receive the phone for the price of 15/16 quid;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] go2mo2:
Did you get a tracking number?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] StuMcBill:
I am pretty sure the three phones that people have got this far have not been network locked!

Sent from my Amiga 500 using Workbench!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zarch1972:
I've heard the same.... the £15 advise comes from Three themselves, but in reality, the phones have been unlocked out of the box.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TonyHoyle:
No. Presumably I could get one if I asked, but I'm not bothered unless it doesn't arrive.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] baggy247:
They said the same thing to me! Hopefully it will work out, if so I will be keeping my plan of 300 mins, unlimited texts, unlimited data for £20 a month for 18 months and I think they said £280 for the handset; so that's £280 + 18 x £20 = £640 in total, not too bad and as I'm keeping the same plan I should still be getting the old 3GB fair usage policy from when I got my HTC Desire!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jss42:
Yep, 529 unlocked
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HooloovooUK:
Unbelievable.

It obviously depends on which operator you talk to.

I was just told it wasn't available and they refused to put on offer on my account, saying it wasn't possible. He said CarphoneWarehouse etc. would have to call them up while I was standing in the store and they could discuss plans and prices.

What a bunch of muppets.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dagdervis:
hi guys this is my new contract with o2.

12 MONTHS CONTRACT

800 minutes to any network

unlimited weekend calls to any number

unlimited messages plus 20 mms messages

500 MB internet plus wi-fi

£109 towards the phone

for £42 a month

how is that?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] baggy247:
That's a shame, the woman I spoke to had to be the best customer service operator I've witnessed; she was happy, polite, helpful... she even wished me luck and said she hopes I enjoy it!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HooloovooUK:
Oh yes the gentleman I spoke to was also very happy and polite. But that doesn't get me a new phone and contract. I don't understand why there seems to be so much variation in the service offered by the T-Mobile staff.

How is that? Well for me personally that is shocking. £613 for 12 months? I'm paying less than that for 24 months! But I wouldn't make use of all the service included. If you do then clearly it's a good price for you. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] redmongoose:
Yay Just got a dispatch email from buymobilephones.net.........

"This email is to confirm that your order has been dispatched today and should be delivered on the 24/11/2011."
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GR36:
The best they could do is put a discount on your account. but CPw will still have to ring up and speak to tmobile. I would expect you are in for dissapointment when you go in
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HooloovooUK:
Still waiting ... :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristovaher:
Seems to be a problem with all sellers at the moment.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Moosh:
Hi all

Just bought one from Phones4U (sim-free) and it was £529.95.

Cheers

Moosh
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nigelw:
I'm thinking the SIM free route is best for me, £529.95 for phone, then get a T-Mobile SIM for £7.71 a month for 12 months with 300 min/txt, 500MB data.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Robboftw:
Buymobilephones.net have sent out an email this evening informing everyone that they won't have any more stock of this handset for at least 10-15 working days.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] plonkersaurus:
Not according to what the guy told me. He said he needed to put the offer on the account to authorise it for CPW as they don't normally offer the phone. If CPW have to call tmobile then so be it.

I'm on a 12 month £35 contract and said I'd have to pay £100 towards the phone or I could have it for free on a 18 month £30 contract.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zarch1972:
I'm thinking the same..... that £7.71 T-Mobile deal sounds stunning. Especially when it looks like you can £50 back via Quidco!!!

http://www.quidco.com/t-mobile/

Has any had any problems tethering or any other issues with T-Mobiles Fair Use Policy?

In reality, how do they know?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HooloovooUK:
Well they bloody better have shipped my preorder today then!:(

Still says "Availability: Stock due on 25/11/2011" on the web page though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nigelw:
I'm not 100% sure on the Quidco/TopCashBack £50, they may not pay out for an existing customer.... but it's worth a try! So £529.95 for the phone then 12 x £7.71 - £50. I make that about £572 for the first year.

Not sure about the tethering, I wonder if they can track the user agent on browsers? But it's been put in place to stop people abusing the old 3GB limit, but at least it's fair and allows you more than 500MB if you go over. Spoke to O2 today and they said they SMS you when close to limit, then you get charged for anything over.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmonthegas:
I received that email last night.

I noticed on their Twitter feed that someone queried whether it was true or not since they were saying stock was due in on tomorrow contradicting the email. Turned out it was automated and stock was still due for tomorrow.

I tweeted them this afternoon to see if stock was still due in, or whether it had been witheld by Samsung and had the reply of 'We have no indication that stock will be delayed' only to find out 10mins before their Twitter account 'closes' that stock is now due on Friday.

Is it just me or does it feel like the date keeps on getting pushed further and further back? Seems like they are saying anything they can to stop people cancelling, and I must say, I'm pretty close to.

Annoying since I ordered on the 16th too, so I must have just missed out on the last batch, grr!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zarch1972:
I'd be a new T-Mobile customer, so should be good for the Quidco. :p

Are there any T-Mobile customers out there that can answer my query on tethering? I don't use it all the time, but like to have to option to hook up my Macbook or TouchPad if required. (and happy to stay within the 500mb cap)

Any tethering issues anyone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oliroe:
I've been tethering on T-Mobile for the last 18 months without any issues
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zarch1972:
Happy Days...... Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zarch1972:
I've just read some horror stories of all internet capped at 300kps on T-Mobile. Can anyone corroborate this? :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MattSkeet:
It's true.

When I got my contract I was on that cap. However emailed cs and the next day they rang me saying that there was an error on their side. However, it was when tmobile allowed 3gb usage. I was somehow on 1gb but quoted the contract about android usage and they have changed everything for me.

Basically when bought phone I asked for; 600min 500txt 1gb internet (booster) , they gave my 900min and 500txt and 1gb Internet(booster) . After email I had 900min 500txt 3gb internet and free booster for £25month.

If you ring them and say that your Internet is slow and with a bit of luck you get someone less informed that will answer your call you might get better Internet.

In regards tethering. You can go over the limit as much as you want but won't be able to stream videos... Speed will stay the same.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Spybreak:
Anyone know if O2 stores around Oxford St. in London have stock? I'll be there next week and want to pick one up with the 16.50/month contract.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bushbrother:
Where is this SIM only deal on the website? i only see £10.21?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
Probably an existing customer
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zarch1972:
Its not just for existing customers, the £10.21 deal currently has a discount..... it certainly did this morning.

[QUOTE="T-Mobile]

For a limited time only, save £2.50 a month for 12 months[/quote]
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chistery:
Handtec latest update is no stock till next week. (it was going to be tomorrow)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bushbrother:
Looks like that offer has gone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] momagic:
No it's not gone, 'for a limited time only, save £2.50 a month for 12 months'. So the sim only deal is still there.

Go here to check it out: http://buysimonlydeals.com/go/tmobile-10-300-min-300-texts-12-month/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bushbrother:
Thanks, no idea how you got to that page, but thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] momagic:
Yea, you get the discount when you add it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HooloovooUK:
Same for buymobilephones.net.

Stock due tomorrow, but now updated to due on 29/11/2011. Damn it!!!:(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BadBoyR:
Just ordered via o2 retentions

18 months

£42 for handset

£32 a month

400mins

unlimited text

20mms

500mb data
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Robboftw:
I've ordered via O2 as well now. Slightly more expensive but I don't care, I'm not waiting.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jameslepable:
If you buy the phone from 3 network is the phone unlocked so can use any network or does it have any horrible carrier branding?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Faz20:
Extremely nice deal from Retentions, you seen how much O2 are charging normally for that handset? It's fawking outrageous. It seems as though every handset they have is stupidly unaffordable on contract apart from the iPhone (what a surprise). Vodafone are further delaying their release due to this bloody Volume issue, just give me the goddamn phone and I'll install the fix myself lol. Anyhow, Vodafone assured me end of this week / next week so I'm glad I waited. I reckon I could get lower than £32 a month ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] giwrgos:
Does anyone know if three is going to put the the galaxy on a better contract offer on 1st of dec?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] meeporox:
Would there be any branding on o2 galaxy nexus?

If there is an update available, do we need to wait for o2 to update it? That's my only concern if i chose to upgrade via o2 when my contract expire next month
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nigelw:
I went to Three today, they said its 515 on PAYG and locked, although I think they just made it all up as the website price is 499. They didn't have any stock for PAYG either.

All in all, this launch has been terrible. No stock, no pricing, main high street suppliers seem to have no idea what's going on.

I'm tempted to try Phones4u tomorrow and just get one sim free, although my sensible half says wait and see what the others release.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kravevr6:
Three UK on contract are getting them delivered in a couple of days. Go online and speak to a rep and ask for the phone on what ever tarriff and they set it up for you and give you £20 of vouchers.

I got the one plan, loads of minutes 2000, truly unlimited data and tethering allowed! Speeds on average of 5mb!

£40 pm. Free phone! If your a heavy user got to be better than o2/orange etc!!!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BadBoyR:
I know, that's the first thing I said to them.

The razr was costing me more £74!

Buymobilephones.net are offering similar deals but I stick with O2 due to friends and family discount entitlement which will lower my line rental to £22.4/month
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] giwrgos:
Buymobilephones.net is reliable website?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AntonyStark:
CPW list the Price Sim free as 514.

I went there asking about O2, the guy was willing to give me the phone there and then but then I saw the upfront cost on the Smart phone Tariffs and thought he was having a laugh! Don't expect a deal out of them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GR36:
just had word that cpw may not have a delivery untill as late as the 2nd december
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AntonyStark:
Legal reasons, they have the phone now, but can only sell it on all networks 2 weeks after launch. But what if they sold you a sim free handset at a discounted price, and upgraded the contract you already had.... Thats what the guy in the shop was doing basically, but too pricey can't match phones4u.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] baggy247:
The CPW website stated by the end of this week so I went into my local store today to ask and they said it looks like next Monday the 28th. Hopefully they will be getting them then, I really can't wait any longer, especially since my housemate has one already from phones4u =/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sinatosk:
I want to hear more about 32GB version... that's the one I want and nowhere in the UK am I hearing about it :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GR36:
yes. but i understand their shipment may not hit in time for then. this is ofcause just hear say but i have it from reasonably high up in BBE
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nigelw:
Just tried the CPW in Greenwich, no idea when they are getting the Nexus. But I will try again Monday, I'd rather give them my money than Phones4u.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BadBoyR:
No stock apparantley
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bushbrother:
How did you get that? Best I could get out of them was £36 a month for 300 mins, they said there are only 300 or 600 min packages.

That deal is pretty good over 18 months!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
how are you lot getting it for £450 sim free on o2? They wont budge on £530
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BadBoyR:
Just tell them my deal. I didn't have to try hard for that.

---------- Post added at 09:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:45 PM ----------

Phone retentions and tell them that other have had it for the same price, they are offering a discount for existing customers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GR36:
In stock at play.com for 520
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
Tried but nobody had it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tech-style:
Received my gsm Nexus yesterday from phones4u. I would never normally use or recommend them but I got a reasonable deal.

I was due an upgrade with orange so I called them and managed to wangle 900 mins, 1gb data and 3000 texts (I'll never use) on panther 41 for 33.50 a month.

24 month contracts are normally against my religion but the £250 cashback took the total cost of ownership down to around £554. It took some serious haggling to get that much cashback but it was worth it.

Data speeds on orange aren't the best but I can live with that for now. If I'm feeling flush in a few months I can always buy the contract out and jump on giffgaff or 3.

For the record I love this phone!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darkflare:
Is it actually in stock? Ie have you received confirmation that your device is on route?

I've ordered from play.com before when the item is "in stock" on there website and not received the device. When I called them for the delayed device they said it was out of stock and would be delivered 5 days late. So it's upto you really if you want to gamble with play.com and there fun call centers!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] giwrgos:
what is the cash back?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rbs_uk:
You take out contract for 2 years for X amount of money per month and they give you back X amount of money. I never understood what`s the point and whole idea of cashbacks, so cannot comment any further.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Faz20:
Wow dude, how did you get that with Phones4U?!?! I tried to upgrade through them and they wouldn't budge on £36 a month on Voda! I'm like I can get cheaper than that if I sign up as a new customer paying £60 for the actual handset lol. To be quite fair the person I was talking did sound like a bit of a bish so I'll try again today haha. How you manage to bring them down so much?
