Looking on moneysupermarket.co.uk with T-Mobile:

http://www.moneysupermarket.com/mobile-phones/brands/samsung/galaxy-nexus/

£15.32 per month for 24 months and £249.99 for the phone. That makes £617.67. It's like buying the phone SIM free and only paying £4 per month for service.

And that's for a new customer. I ought to get something cheaper than that as an upgrade.

Sure it's only got 100 minutes, 100 texts, and 500MB of data, but that's more than enough for my usage.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
so i guess negri electronics really did sell us them at or near cost

i believe it will be 599gsm 650 lte.. then add tax so about 650. if the gsm version does not hit us shores until mid dec, i woudnt have minded paying the extra 50 to have early.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
If thats more than you need then you should definitely snap it up :) Personally I may go through 100 texts a day sometimes so I would end up paying an extra £5000 a month in extras lol.

Mark.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HooloovooUK:
I would snap it up, but I'm not sure how they go about upgrading me. I don't want to change my number. Maybe I'll be forced to port my number away from T-Mobile onto a PAYG SIM and then port it back to T-Mobile as a new customer. It's silly the hoops we have to jump through sometimes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
Tell me about it lol its crazy the things we do for a new phone :rolleyes:

Mark.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chandlerweb:
If you check the spreadsheet linked to on post #1, it shows buymobilephones.net do 100 mins 100t exts 500mb data with unlimited web and email on t-mobile 18 months at £20.42 per month plus £209.99 for the handset. That works out at £577.55 plus possible £30 quidco cashback.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HooloovooUK:
Awesome, thanks for that :)

What does "unlimited web and email" mean with regards to a 500MB data limit?

EDIT: Of course I did neglect to take into account that's an 18 month contract. So to be able to compare it to 24 month deals I have to add on £60. That makes it £637.55 which is actually £20 more expensive than signing up for the 24 month contract. I fully expect to keep the phone for three years as I have with my current device, so a 24 month contract is no problem for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chandlerweb:
If you're doing ordinary web surfing I.e. normal web page browsing or email checking then it doesn't come off the data allowance. If you watch YouTube or use spotify etc etc then it does.

PS, if you find my posts helpful, please hit the Thanks button. Cheers!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrwhizzard:
Pre-ordered from P4U yesterday.

Was upgrading my Orange contract and got the handset for free with 900 mins, ultd txts and 1gb data on Panther 41. Same 7.50 discount as every other order on the thread, so 33.50pm when all said and done over 24 months. Delivery confirmed for 17th.

Samsung UK's Facebook page has a pre-order section tie in with P4U so this suggests they do have some form of exclusivity on it, even if only from an independent retailer perspective. Anyone who pre-orders via that page is also eligible for delivery pre-9am on launch day (though with some areas of UK having obvious limitations).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HooloovooUK:
Thanks. I don't stream over my mobile so that pretty much means I can ignore the data allowance in that case. Cool.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shodney:
According to these guys...

http://gazedice.com/2011/11/13/o2-c...-17th-november-on-contract-and-pay-as-you-go/

...the phone will be available as planned still on the 17th (they have also spoken to Samsung who have confirmed no delay).

So hopefully this is true.

I also emailed Kings of Gadgets about availability, and they said today that they are still expecting stock on the 17th. The stock should be coming into their warehouse ON the 17th, which means it will be shipped that day and won't arrive until the 18th (assuming you pay for the next day delivery).

So for those still wanting to buy off contract on the 17th (or want to avoid Phones4u), there is still hope :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chandlerweb:
The actual comments (not technically a statement) from O2 were " You can buy our phones on Pay & Go" on 8/11/11 followed by "yes we'll be on sale on the 17th" on 11/11/11.

The problem is, their web site still says "Coming Soon: November" with no more exact date or price. Given all the rumours and speculation, i wont believe it till its in the shops!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Highland3r:
clearly either I can't read of the 449 price was a mirage to tempt me! The price is 549 sim free and 529 with a 10 or 20 pound top up. Apologies for any excitement my original post may have brought!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] otacon888:
Well...I finally pulled the trigger and placed a preorder at Clove.

I hope it really gets released on the 17th.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tom Servo:
- Amazon shoved their release date back to December. If they're doing it, it has a reason.

- Handtec came the first and said upfront that things have been pushed back, while everyone else claimed to be on time.

- Some shops kept harping on getting early stock (Nov 7th) until the day itself, and whoops, there's none.

- Other shops, who held the Nov 17th up in the air like a scepter, even after Handtec claimed everyone else would be affected, are suddenly getting doubts, too.

- Phones4U, who was attributed exclusivity, and whose salesmen kept reassuring customers about that date, suddenly posts on their blog that they don't have a date, either.

- Etc. blah blah!

You really expect anyone being able to tell you for sure? Handtec claims to talk with Samsung daily, and their stock date still didn't budge forward from the 21st.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
There really is no point in speculating now its just a case of waiting until the 17th (or 16th when the phones4u devices are supposed to be sent out to customers) and see what happens.

Either way people who cant get theirs on release will moan about it and then when they finally get them everything will be forgotten. i had to wait 3 months from release to get my HD2 as stock was soo scarse the shops was only getting 2 units sent to them at a time and there was absolutely no online stock available but when I finally got it I didnt care about the wait anymore.

The moral of the story is everything comes to those who wait, theres absolutely nothing we can do about it so just sit back and chill til you get that longed for email saying your baby is about to be delivered ;)

Mark.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zarch1972:
Pre-Order info from Three:

http://threestore.three.co.uk/priceplans.aspx?phonecode=SAMGNEX3DS

£40/month on the One-Plan(2000 mins, 5000 txts, unlimited(all you can eat) data), free phone on a 24 month contract.

Earliest delivery: Friday 18 November 2011

So £960 TCO over the length of the contract.

But £109 quidco cashback to sweeten the deal?

http://www.quidco.com/three/

Making it £851 TCO.

2 others deals available:

Text 500

1gb data

5000 Texts

500 Minutes

£34/month

£816 TCO (£750 after Quidco cashback of £66)

Text 500 (all you can eat)

all you can eat data

5000 Texts

500 Minutes

£37/month

£888 TCO (£822 after Quidco cashback of £66)

Both 24 month contracts.

And finally, £499 on PAYG.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] saquib:
Other plans are also available on Three. On Pay as you go, it's £499.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigf00t:
I had a quick look on the website- not very many different plans.

Do they do 18 month?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shodney:
You need to buy a £10 add-on with that though, bringing it up to £509.99.

Their Twitter feed also says it will be locked to the network, and will cost £15 to unlock. I don't know whether it'll have any branding / bloatware installed.

So it's a good deal if you plan on using Three, but if you want it for another network it will total £524.99 which is around the same as other places sim-free.

They are promising delivery on the 18th though and stock in store on the 17th, so they are one of the few with an actual promised delivery date.

I'm still waiting for O2 to play their hand with prices...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zarch1972:
Granted, a while ago, but I bought my Desire on PAYG from Three. It was unlocked and had no bloatware whatsoever.

Also, I wasn't forced to buy any credit top-up, I just whacked my O2 sim (at the time) in there.

Fingers crossed the same this time with the GN. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shodney:
Yeah I'm the same - got (and still have!) one of the first batches for £350. They always said those first ones would be unlocked though, I don't whether any of the later batches came locked or not.

I think I'm gonna take a punt though. Samsung phones apparently are easy to unlock anyway, and even if I need to pay Three it will still come out cheaper than the other places after cashback.

They are also still the only people giving an exact delivery (on PAYG, anyway), which helps :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qwerp_:
demm.

this the reply i got back from clove.

We are not yet sure when the stock will physically arrive to us

It may be the 21st before we are able to begin shipping

i am not tempted to just cancel my preorder via clove and go via three as pay as you go.

at lease they guarantee that it arrives at 18th morning.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chandlerweb:
I ordered from Clove then made an additional order from Amazon. I'll give Clove a week to deliver, otherwise that gets cancelled and I'll wait for it via Amazon which worked out cheaper anyway, plus I had some vouchers that weren't doing anything.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Denonite:
Just ordered on 3 for £40 a month.

Be aware the other three plans don't allow tethering even if they include "All you can eat data".

Got my PAC from O2 and will cancel my MiFi I'm currently using with 3 and will tether my TouchPad (CM7 of course) to the Nexus so saving £10 a month.

Will pop my work sim in my current LG 2x or maybe sell it - completely fed up with LG
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Spinstorm:
I hate to be negative but it does seem like it will be touch and go with shipping this week for SIM free phones.

Lets assume they get stock in Thursday night - too late to ship for Friday.

They then ship it Friday except the courier doesn't come until late afternoon and they don't deliver Saturday which means it is technically shipped but sitting in a warehouse until Monday (21st) when it is then actually sent on its way.

Of course that is pessimistic. It could very well arrive in stock Thursday lunchtime and be shipped in the afternoon.

I am due an upgrade anyway on the 17th so I am going to go get one on my upgrade but I have also ordered a SIM free version as well so I am lucky that my contract renewal date is ironically exactly the same date as the phone is in stores here in the UK.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wilbur-force:
Maybe a daft question but if Android has built in tethering how whould the provider know if you were tethering (say) an Android tablet ?

I currently use my Desire as a wifi hotspot for my Transformer.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] otacon888:
I also just got a reply from Clove saying that they think they will start shipping on the 21st,
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thering1975:
They dont, im on 3 uk used tethering many times on galaxy s and never been billed, always comes out of my allowance, if you use usb tethering where it acts as a modem then yes they know however using as a wifi tether has never been an issue for me
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zarch1972:
Same here on Three.

I've tethered my Macbook and TouchPad through my Desire loads of times with no problems. The usage just comes out of your normal allowance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TonyHoyle:
I tether all the time.. never had an issue.

If unlocked mobiles push the release date back I'll cancel and get payg from Three. I'd do it now but would seem a bit petty not to give them a chance to meet the date (even though I've not got much confidence that they will).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] go2mo2:
Ditto that, ulm have been good to me in the past but im pretty annoyed about them saying it was going to be delivered on the 7th right up till that day then it was changed to the 17th. You're not telling me they knew nothing about it not coming in on the 7th when all other retailers said it would be later.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jeux_1:
Same here, if Three got them on the Friday but I got mine for 480£ delivered. I could still wait 2-3 more days for 30£ saving.

Will see on Thursday.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theuniboy:
O2 Pricing is here guys

Hi all, I have been watching this thread for a while but finally have something good to contribute....

Just been into my local O2 store and had a chat with their manager. He confirmed that the Nexus will be in this week (Thursday is expected of course) and also gave me a print out of pricing. I have split it up here:

24m contracts -

18/12m contracts -

Simplicity/no contract (and proof it is from O2!)

Taking those pictures would have been so much easier with the GN's panaramic mode!

So, no real surprises. It costs £500 off-contract, the same as 3. The manager also told me that it would be network-locked. So much for networks not interfering with Nexus phones. ;)

Anyway, perhaps I will see some of you there at 9:30 on Thu!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] e-dub:
am i missing something, or is there not a way to get a sim free galaxy nexus on the phones4u website?

eric b
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bilhouse:
Thanks for that theuniboy.

Looks like I will be going down to the O2 store on Thursday and buying one for £499.99. O2 charge £15 to unlock it so even after that its cheaper than the SIM Free P4U deal.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theuniboy:
You are right - but their store manager did tell me they will do GN on pay-as-you-go in store. And that they would know the pricing from tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
Wheres the image for the 18 month contract?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theuniboy:
Not sure why it wouldn't be showing for you, I get all 3 images :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
Ive got a ! instead. :s Privacy options?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jeux_1:
working for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LadFromWales85:
I have doubts about those prices. I am guessing they are upgrade prices, as o2 only offer 12M contracts on upgrade, so...

Those receipts suggest that the price of the phone is the same on each contract tier.

ie 12M 50min 18M 50min 24M 50min are all £199.99 for the phone.

Looking on o2 upgrades, those tariffs are priced at...

12M 50min £21.50 (£15.50 once data bolt on removed) £491.99 TCO*

18M 50min £21.50 (£15.50 once data bolt on removed) £484.99 TCO*

24M 50min £16.50 (£10.50 once data bolt on removed) £457.99 TCO*

*Above TCO assumes taking out package with data and removing during first month

Though these are the plans offered when I select a Galaxy SII for upgrade, with the phone costing £299, £199, and £199 respectively.

With the above quote on 12M 50min for a Galaxy Nexus being only £199.99, we're surely looking at paying only £391.99 TCO?!

Hope all that makes sense...but if it's true I will bite o2's hand off and pay £199 for the phone on Thursday, then £15.50 for 12 months and chuck the sim in a drawer!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
I've just spoke to them. The contract prices are the same across the board. What varies is the handset price. 12 month is only available for upgrading customers
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theuniboy:
Very good point - hope that turns out to be true for those of us who can upgrade
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LadFromWales85:
So on 12M it'll be just £199.99 when its £299.99 for a GSII?

Seems silly cheap, even if you don't cancel the data bolt on, over 12 months the TCO would be £457.99...bargain!

@Evostance - according to those receipt quotes, the handset costs the same regardless of tier, for all price plans.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
Yes, that correct. Take a look at the GS2, Sensation XE/XL or any other phone for that matter
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theuniboy:
Putting this together with the info on the O2 site, a £36pm contract nets you 600m, unlimited texts. According to the quote the handset will be £79.99 on that tariff. Though you have to contend with data cos of O2's annoying new contract structure...

500m will cost you £6, add that on to the 300min/unlimited text contract and your bill will be £37/month. According to the quote they gave me the handset will be £104.99

REALLY hope these figures pan out as I like the sound of a £386 GN!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LadFromWales85:
Looking at the images it looks as though it'd be £104.99 on o2 300/18M, which is £37 per month, £770.99 TCO

Would be cheaper to get it on the 50min plan and use a sim only!

@theuniboy - The 600min tariff is £42 with data, which you'll surely need if you are actually going to use the sim?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
Looking at the pricing structures for other phones, I think this is going to be what we see:

24 Month - 500mb Data

24M 900: £59 / £37pm

24M 600: £79.99 / £32pm

24M 300: £104 / £32pm

24M 200: £149 / £21.50pm

24M 100: £179 / £21.50pm

24M 50: £199 / £16.50pm

18 Month - 500Mb Data

18M 900: £59 /£47pm

18M 600: £79.99 / £42pm

18M 300: £104 / £37pm

18M 200: £149 / £32pm

18M 100: £179 / £27pm

18M 50: £199 / £21.50

Upgrade Only - 500Mb Data

12M 900: £199.99 / £47pm

12M 600: £224.99 / £42pm

12M 300: £249.99 / £37pm

12M 100: £274.99 / £27pm

12M 50: £299.99 / £21.50
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theuniboy:
@Evostance

Yeah that is what I was expecting - those are the prices for the SII. Prices are the same as yours for 24 and 18 month on that quote they gave me. But 12m prices are lower:

Upgrade Only

12M 900: £59.99

12M 600: £79.99

12M 300: £104.99

12M 100: £179.99

12M 50: £199.99

May very well be an error but lets hope not. They didn't take any of my details so its not a specific deal to try to keep me!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CamoGeko:
It's bound to be delayed with some of sellers. I heard from an inside source as well that 3UK is likely to start doing it on contract before end of november on a special offer.

Transmitted from a Galaxy far far away via XDA lightspeed telepathy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
I'll be honest, I cant see them offering it at that price :mad:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theuniboy:
Using the HTC Sensation XE as an example:

For 18/24m contracts this handset will set you back £199.99 on the 50mins tariff. On the 12m upgrade deals (on the upgrade site) it will run you £249.99 on the 50mins tariff. That gives a TCO of £507.99 over 12 months. However, if you can cancel that data (I assume you can) and just dump the SIM, (or pay off the rest of your contract up-front?!) then TCO is £435.99 .

Meanwhile, the GSII is the same for 18/24m contracts but costs £299.99 on the 50min contract on upgrade so there is some inconsistency in the upgrade pricing. Perhaps it will be as they quoted me today, or perhaps it will cost be in like with the Sensation XE. Fingers crossed it is not in line with the SGSII.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Spinstorm:
I am due an upgrade so if I am paying only £59.99 for a 12 month contract that is pretty awesome...

I would be willing to go to I guess £150 at most but to be fair then I think I may as well get an 18 month contract. I guess we will see on Thursday.

Of course if my SIM free phone comes early (which I doubt) I may wait another week and see if I can get a Note on my upgrade due to higher resale value.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dazzla:
Is anyone here taking a punt on buying it from amazon de? Won't be the quickest but it's loads cheaper.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zarch1972:
Thanks for this...... added TCO over the length of the contract.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
What is TCO? Is that the total cost?

What you have to re ever with contracts guys is that the monthly figure quoted doesn't include VAT
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zarch1972:
Total Cost of Ownership..... ie the true & total cost you pay for the phone and plan over the length of the contract. (any upfront costs added to the contract costs over the period)

Well the figures are screwed if there is no VAT! :(

And is there VAT on the up-front cost?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theuniboy:
The figures on O2 do include VAT on their consumer site. It is only the business site where VAT is left out.

It was a consumer (rather than business) upgrade quote so pretty sure it includes VAT too
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qwerp_:
i think i give up now. first off, demm phones4u only do monthly contract, hence can't get a one off.

secondly, i have phone 3UK, o2 shop nearby me, at least they know the existence of the phone, but they have no information about the stock as well. it might come, it might not.

plus they have schedule weekly delivery, for example my local three store gets a weekly friday and tuesday stock delivery. if they don't send the GN on friday, i will have to wait till next tuesday anyway.

i had put in a preorder in clove, i think i just have to wait patiently. always hoped i can get it just before my birthday on sunday. but chances is unlikely now.

come on SAMSUNG.. gives US SOME DATES!!!....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tung_meister:
So does no one know any stores that are going to have the GN in stock on the 17th? all I want to do is go to a shop and buy one, It shouldn't be this hard :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qwerp_:
apparently it is that hard, as no one can be sure when the stock will be in. for phone2u, they seems to have exclusive, but again, we cannot confirm that which branch will have stocks. the HQ will defo have them, but its down to them to send it to retail branches.

same applies to o2 and three, as well as clove or handtec.

question here is, i don't think themselfs has a proper receiving date from samsung yet as well. hence all the guessing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristovaher:
It is very unlikely for stores to carry them on 17th. Demand on this phone has been high enough that majority of stock will go out for preorders. Samsung has spread this whole thing too thin, having many sellers 'planned' for launch day, it is unlikely for certain sellers to carry a lot of stock with perhaps the exception of Phones4U that Samsung themselves advertised on Facebook. But that won't be unlocked.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zarch1972:
Too good to be true from Three.

RT @ThreeUK: For anyone who pre-ordered Galaxy Nexus y’day, due to stock delays your delivery has changed to 22/11. We’ll call you by 8pm with more info.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qwerp_:
did you order from three? and did you just got this message?

someone kill me please... i can't wait any longer...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zarch1972:
No, I didn't order, I just follow them on Twitter and they announced that news about 12:30 GMT
