Strange, they are now showing 100+ in stock now again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bedoig:
Eek ...just pulled the trigger on two (one for me one for the wife). Can't wait.

Estimated delivery Nov 28, 2011 by 4:30 PM

:X

Should have ponied up the extra $10 bucks for next day delivery vs. the 2 day one.. oh well.. I'll deal with my broken sgs2 for a few more days I guess
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericshmerick:
The delivery says "Indirect Signature Required."

Of course I'm off all day Friday but have to run an errand around 10am - 11am. My luck, the Fedex guy will show up during that exact time and I'll find a sticker on my door when I get home (and no GNEX).

I cannot, for the life of me, find the "signature release" form on Fedex' website. And I prefer not to scribble a post-it note saying "it's okay to leave the package here...BRB!!" and hope that works.

Anyone know where the official Fedex signature release form is?? I've used it plenty of times with Apple deliveries - there is always a link right there on the Apple shipment page, but of course I don't have anything currently on the way from Apple now...

Nevermind, found it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] InternationalNexusFan:
If even 2-day delivery doesn't get delivery before the weekend, I'll be glad I got the free shipping instead. I won't care if I get it Monday or Wednesday, but before the weekend would have been nice.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GeekBoi:
Last several hours ago, I ordered it with free shipping, and according to Fedex, I will get it this Friday! Woot!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dnlsmy:
My ETA is the 29th (free shipping). :D

Does anyone know how warranties will work for this phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] InternationalNexusFan:
Expansys USA was sure getting a lot of blogosphere coverage today. Interestingly, none of them mention the issues associated with buying grey market Samsung products.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Nor do they mention other importer options like Clove or Handtec.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ferris2375:
Phone is on it's way to arrive Friday. So impulsive.

Anyway, I talked to customer service at Expansys and they said that if you have a problem after the 14 days, you work with them to take care of your Samsung warranty. They also have a branch in the UK. So there really isn't much to worry about in terms of warranty. The rep specifically said that if I have any problems outside of the 15 days, to call Expansys and they will take care of the warranty work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] InternationalNexusFan:
Great find, BigCrumbs.com looks even better! Is the coupon still valid? 4% translates to $30 cash-back for this phone. Too late for me though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dnlsmy:
Good to hear, I'm going to call them tomorrow (read:Friday) to make sure too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xxmwxx:
lol lucky you. Guess it's because of the distance, I'm in FL..

I'm guessing warranty will be the same as other smart phones they import where if you have problems you ship it to them and they take care of shipping it to the UK for repair (like I'm doing with my SGG2 right now..)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Corey L:
As I wrote in the PM, you ordered on Saturday based on my records. We are not open on weekends. We reopen on Tuesday from the holiday weekend.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] the7thson:
I ordered on Friday actually but I totally understand it's a long weekend. My apologies, I've just been a little antsy to get my new toy :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sivagandi:
Finally ordered mine

Found this Today and finally ordered my Galaxy Nexus!!!!

Go to eXpansys G Nex page, scroll down to see deals section, you would see GNex + $60 simple mobile for $679.99 (that's a $10 less and $60 mobile rev up card free)!!! and do not forget to use extra 2.4% cash back and $20 off. That is $660

I hope I can sell the rev up card on Amazon, if so it may fetch in at-least 50% or more!!! Not sure if this rev up is associated with any expiry or attached to my name etc, need to do more research on that. This would bring down the price to $660 - ($30-60), which is $600-$630!!!!

update: Mine already shipped!! great service eXpansys!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] the7thson:
Has fedex picked up your tracking info yet? Mine shipped this morning, but fedex still shows no record :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sivagandi:
I just checked a few min back and yes it says picked up. At around 6pm EST it was not. I guess all are dispatched at once in the evening for reg shipping.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] irishrally:
Dropped my gn last night and cracked the screen. God damn bowl games.

Corey, any idea how much Samsung would charge to replace the screen? It still works fine, just cracked. Or, do you know a place to get cheap replacement parts? Any other options?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] the7thson:
Mine got picked up too, thanks!

Ouch!

Although the sadist in me wants to see pics :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Corey L:
I don't know where you'd get a replacement screen for that as it is so new. Samsung would likely ( do not hold me to this) charge in between $200 - $300. You'd need to send it to us and we can send it off for a quote.

Sorry - that sucks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Corey L:
Hi Everyone,

Just as an update, we have confirmation now that we are expecting the Galaxy Nexus 32GB at the end of the month. The white version of the 16GB Galaxy Nexus is expected in week 3 of January.

Working on securing pricing now, will update.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rizzxx7:
Any news on the 3-pin car dock stock being earlier than Feb 29?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kirdroid:
Nice :) ... Have already pre ordered the 32gb from you guys. Hopefully it will not be crazy price :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stacio88:
Haha! I just ordered my 16gig....it's OK. 16'll be enough.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] irishrally:
Alright, thanks, I'll probably send it in after CES, or get the 32gb and sell this one.

Anyone want to buy a gn with a cracked screen? Works fine, looks ****ty.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] the7thson:
Corey, what would you recommend I do if I have the 16 gig en route but want to cancel and get the 32 instead?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Corey L:
Refuse the delivery
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] the7thson:
Outstanding, will do thank you! Whew, just in time.. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Corey L:
UPDATE: Should have the 32GB in our warehouse in the beginning of February. Price is set on the site now at $799.99.

---------- Post added at 05:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:40 PM ----------

Sorry - do you have a SKU on our site so I make sure I check on the correct part your looking for?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kirdroid:
Negrielectronic tweeted couple of days back that it will be only available end of feb and says everyone else is lying to get pre orders :)

Hopefully what they are saying is incorrect and will be available sooner.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Corey L:
Well, I'll keep you updated. Our supplier says the week of February 6th as of 15 minutes ago. Considering late last week they said 4 weeks, that has stayed the same over the weekend. I won't comment on what Negri Electronics writes, says, and posts....

However, we will continue to go with what our suppliers are telling us. If paying by a CC, we do not charge your card til it ships. We really have no reason to hype the arrival date if we think it is incorrect. It costs more handling the fallout than it makes in selling the product that way :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rizzxx7:
The SKU is 225505
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Radsolutionz:
promo codes?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Corey L:
Looks like potentially the last week in January. However - I will say I have seen Samsung accessories slide time and time again. That's one key piece I think Samsung misses the mark on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Radsolutionz:
looking to buy one now, im trying to get the best deal.... promo codes???
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] the7thson:
$799? :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Corey L:
Does that mean you want your 16GB sent back to you now??;)

---------- Post added at 06:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:38 PM ----------

20OFFLS drops it $20
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] the7thson:
Hehe not at all, I already pre-ordered this one, no looking back now. Just need to add on whatever promo code is active at that time. Thanks for your patience and flexibility :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] moe3754:
Does expansys offer warranty for this phone since Samsung will not cover it?? Even Square Trade will only cover up to $600.00 and that is only with a 1 year warranty from Samsung. I am looking to buy on the 13th but now that I have found out about warranty I am having second thoughts!!!Also is there any idea of when the white one will be released, anytime within the next two weeks??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
protip 1. try reading the thread before you ask questions that are answered already, especially recently.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] moe3754:
I have never seen such a bunch of discourtious cretins in my life a simple yes or no would sufice instead of showing your ignorance and the same for that Corey person, I will just take my buisness to Amazon. Jerks!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Corey L:
My "Thanks" was a joke, as you see this type of stuff time and time again on any forum. I'm sorry to have offended you.

Were you not the person who PM'd me about this and I responded? We DO facilitate the warranty support for our customers. I believe we are unique in doing that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
good luck! :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spaceman860:
Doesn't the phone come with a 24 month warrenty
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kirdroid:
There is no warranty for the gsm version in USA since Samsung or any carrier doesn't sell them directly here. Only option is to import them.

Expansys USA does this by sending the device back to expansys europe and provide warranty thru that route.

Corey - Correct me if i'm wrong :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spaceman860:
So if i buy it from clove.uk which says it come with a 24 month warranty i just have to send it back to them if need be
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kirdroid:
Most likely....just double check with them before buying. Haven't bought from them so can't say for sure.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] greensnow:
having the same problem...can anybody explain how this works?

Edit: the amazon part, not paypal. the coupon isnt working in amazon checkout

Edit 2: just spend 32 mins on hold and no pickup...seriously?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
yes. seriously. it's best to email them or pm corey l who has posted quite a few times in this thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sbrownla:
Remember how easy it used to be to get tech over here in the States? Now that we have dropped so far in the global desirability index, perhaps because of the arrogance and terrible global policy of those who are supposed to be minding our best interests, we have to beg and pay through the nose for things we want.

Perhaps Samsung could care less if Americans get many of their products, and that's one thing. But, BUT -->Google<-- should be stepping in to make sure that American consumers have reasonable access to their latest wares.

Shame on them for not making Samsung sell direct as an option, or for not doing so themselves.

Stop bickering amongst yourselves and instead, ask Google, "wtf yo?!"

We need to support our importers like Negri and Expansys. But at the same time, we can't expect them not to need to protect themselves. They do what they can with what they are given.

Call, write, whatever, to Google and Samsung, and tell them how difficult it has been to *purchase* [keyword] their latest creation. Show them that you have the do$h and make them own up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
lmao. remember when it used to be cool or whatever to have imported merchandise? now almost everything is imported. tsk tsk america. you sold out to get bought out and now you're down and out and don't have any clout.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Maisam.asif:
Hey Guys. I am sorry if its off topic, but its worth mentioning that I recently discovered NegriElectronics.com and purchased a Galaxy Nexus 4G in black color. The entire process was smart and easy. They shipped the product via Fedex the same day I ordered them and guess what, the shipping was absolutely free :laugh:

One thing for you guys to know. I researched a lot about cheap sites etc and am happy that I found this site which gave me the product exactly as they described on their page. I am really very happy with the overall shipping and ordering from Negri Elec. I will definitely recommend this site to anyone who wants to buy open box phones in cheap. If you have any doubts, you can surely email me. I can help you the best I can.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] InternationalNexusFan:
Well, Fedex now shows my Estimated delivery as Nov 26, 2011, and that with free shipping. Ordered yesterday. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BlackDino:
Just ordered today and expected to be in tomorrow!!

Woot so excited
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dnlsmy:
I'm in Florida too! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericshmerick:
Saturday delivery? Guess that's right since it's FedEx Home shipping.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] InternationalNexusFan:
Yep, that's what it says.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Is expansys shipping/open tomorrow?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xxmwxx:
Well I guess spent ~20 bucks to get it a day earlier :/ oh well

Nope, closed till Monday last I spoke with them
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dnlsmy:
I'm actually glad mine's is shipping on the 29th. Expansys's has a 15 day return policy which puts me right after the 12/9-12/12 window for the State Side launch of the Galaxy Nexus. If they make an announcement for the GSM version arriving for $529.99 in the coming weeks, I'll ship it back and will have gotten to play with the Nexus before anyone else. :D If they say it's coming in the next month(s) I will hold on to it, $170 seems a reasonable price to pay to have something months early IMO. Either way, it's a win-win. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SysAdmNj:
I just bought it from this site. Says right now 1-5 left in stock. Damm impulsive shopping. I went ahead and paid for the next day shipping even though they probably wont fill the order until Monday right? Oh well, still was able to get $20 off.

What are the chances this is actually coming to at&t? I dont even care about the lte version because my area dont even get lte. Hope I enjoy this phone, I was going to wait for the LG nitro hd.

Oh and one last question this device does have those pretty led notifications correct? :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dnlsmy:
The chances for it coming on AT&T are slim to none. The Nexus One and Nexus S both never made it to AT&T subsidized. In fact, the only subsidized Nexus phones were on T-Mobile and Sprint. AT&T did have a Google+ vote to see what the demand was, but they deleted it which hints at they're not getting it...

On a brighter note, if T-Mobile gets it you can use that model on AT&T, though it won't be subsidized. Also, yep, this is the device with those pretty RGB LED notifications ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericshmerick:
What are you even talking about??

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Samsung...d=2356115&st=nexus s&cp=1&lp=1&contract_desc=
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dnlsmy:
Really???:eek:

I saw that at BestBuy a couple of days ago, just thought it was a typo like when they had the Palm Pre labled as an Android Phone...

When did this happen? Anyway, this must have happened really late in the game, as this is the first I'm hearing of it. AT&T might get it, but it will be really late I guess...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] InternationalNexusFan:
AT&T is probably waiting for the release of a GSM LTE version.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
AT&T picked up the Nexus S subsidized as a lower-end phone. This only happened a few months ago. They got it even after Sprint did.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericshmerick:
With the Verizon soap opera, don't hold your breath for a GSM LTE version any time soon.

I bet April at the earliest.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dnlsmy:
If this is true you can expect a Sprint Nexus S 4G type launch (late).

They should instead focus on a Sprint Version instead, rather than another GSM model.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Why? AT&T is a bigger carrier with an expanding LTE network.

Sprint has already chosen to kill WiMax, and won't have LTE starting to roll out till 2013. So a Galaxy Nexus version for Sprint would have to be WiMax (doubtful, they won't be selling WiMax devices much longer), or just 3G. And that's not really the best situation ever.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dnlsmy:
They just launched the GS2 skyrocket. Why would they sell the same phone 3 times now in the same month? (The differences aren't noticeable to carriers, hence why Verizon dumped the GS2 for the "similar" Galaxy Nexus)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Sprint just launched the SGSII with WiMax. AT&T also launched the Vivid LTE. Your point?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dnlsmy:
@Sprint yeah, so it dis the hole that they might not get it. However, they did get the Nexus S even though they had the Epic 4G slide because of their close relationship with Google. AT&T does not have this relationship.

@AT&T Vivid!=Skyrocket, that's like saying the Thunderbolt and Droid Charge were equivalent devices.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
And tmo just announced the white sgs2..I don't see the gsm being announced here anytime soon
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dnlsmy:
I mean, I could see it coming to BestBuy as an exclusive unlocked phone for $529.99, but I doubt it would be subsidized...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ferris2375:
The Nexus S is still 529.99 full retail, I would think the Galaxy Nexus would be at least 599-650.00 full retail at Best Buy to start.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dnlsmy:
No Nexus phone has ever been introduced at higher than $529.99 off contract, and the fact that the price unlocked in the UK is also 529.99 GBP seems to indicate that we will see the same price point. I know that GBP>USD, but they usually convert directly for some reason when the company sells things naively, like the Kindle.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rashad1:
actually it more like £500 after VAT, and £430 before VAT. I wouldn't expect it to be as cheap as the Nexus S because the cost of production is definitely higher with the Galaxy Nexus. I doubt we will see it go on sale in the US before spring 2012.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Ya probably no subsidy. T-mo didn't directly subsidize the Nexus S either.

Lol you kidding me? They'll launch the phone for the same price. Don't worry. Best Buy isn't going to drop their prices on the Nexus S to market prices. If they did that, an unlocked Nexus S would be selling for under $300.

Precisely. UK prices are usually brought to the US 1 for 1. You can't look at currency comparisons to derive a US price. If its around 519 GBP in the UK, we can expect it for $529 here.

But the cost of producing a Galaxy Nexus today is very similar as producing a Nexus S this time last year... why do you think the phones get more powerful but the prices stay the same over time? Cmon, now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tommyz2kool:
I believe the reason there are no GSII variants on VZW is because Exynos does not support LTE.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Luxferro:
that's not the reason, cause they used non-Exynos on other US carries cause of radio compatibly was easier, or something like that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dnlsmy:
Just a heads up, BestBuy began selling the Nexus One unlocked for 299.99 after the Nexus S arrived. I have personally seen it on display in some BestBuys, and it's available online. It's not a stretch to think this will happen with the Nexus S as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CraigP17:
That is false. Best Buy never sold the Nexus One.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dnlsmy:
:D I knew there were going to be skeptics so I took a pic. :D

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] outsidah:
Mine got here today! Woohoo for Expansys!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AmesCell:
Just got mine. Nice.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mhaedo:
Mine arrived at 12:30pm EST in Philadelphia :) Perfect condition, sealed OEM box. They even included a free eu to us plug converter.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] steevo1:
Congratulations. Looks like you got good service from Expansys.

I'm anxious to hear how you all like your new toy!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dnlsmy:
Pics or it didn't happen. :D

Seriously, I just wanna see the Expansys models, my unit is arriving Tuesday, and it seems so far away!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] farfromovin:
I can't wait! FedEx is out for delivery right now.

--edit-- Woohoo! It's here and I just fired it up to unlock the bootloader and root it so I can use the stuff like TB and Root Explorer. Still running stock ROM so I can get used to ICS before switching. First thoughts, phone feels solid with no creaks or squeaks. Camera is fast, screen looks good (duh!).

Phone arrived in sealed factory packaging with a EU to US adapter as everyone else has reported.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aaronmoe:
EXPANSYS sold through their first batch of stock in about 16 hours apparently. They have a message on their site stating that they will have stock in next week that will cover the rest of the orders they have. I see that some units have been shipping today, even though they were supposed to be closed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] grenademasta:
Just ordered one from Expansys with the $20 off coupon code : 20OFFLS

Also used Ebates to get 6% cash back(Black Friday Only) from the 729.99 price and used my American Express to get 1% cash back as well.

Will sell my LG G2x through Amazon and hopefully I get $166 for it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] farfromovin:
Pics taken from my Sensation...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SysAdmNj:
I ordered on Wednesday night and havent heard anything yet. When I ordered they were still in stock. I paid for overnight too. How do I know they'll process my order on Monday and I'll get it Tuesday? At my status page it says order hasnt been processed yet, but saw the update about the Galaxy Nexus's being sold out. I'm hoping one of those is mines.??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericshmerick:
The cutoff for same day shipping overnight (for Friday delivery) was 3pm Central. Some said they pushed it back to 6pm Central, but their page never showed that.

I ordered at 12:30pm Central Wed for overnight and it arrived this morning. They are closed today (and were yesterday) so your's will probably go out Monday for Tuesday delivery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _illmatic_:
Just got mine. Loving it so far.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SysAdmNj:
Cool, I hope so. I have screenshots to prove they had it instock when I ordered lol. I'll ask for a refund if they try some story..

So how are you guys liking your GN so far that ordered from this site? Worth it so far? :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericshmerick:
I love this thing...so much that my Android quest for the best device has ended.

I will have this phone for years...and this is coming from someone who's had many BB/iPhone/WP7/Android devices...never had one for longer than 3 months.

This is the phone to get. It simply cannot be beat.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dnlsmy:
Yeah, they definitely pushed it back a bit. Ordered at 3:45 CT and they still shipped same day. Got my tracking and everything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jpasint:
Umm, yeah, sure, NOT!

You're either an addict or you're not and you sound like one (like so many of us here) so I doubt your quest had ended, at least not for long and certainly not years.

LOL

Joe
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericshmerick:
Shh. I'm trying to end my disorder... :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [hfm]:
Your quest has ended until the next nexus device has been released. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Andrmgic:
This is without a doubt the finest android device I've ever used.

Ice Cream Sandwich is exactly what Android needed.. android with a gpu accelerated gui makes a huge difference, imo.

I just can't get over how beautiful it is.. that huge 4.65" 720p display all by itself front and center with only a power button and a vol up/down rocker in terms of physical buttons on the entire surface of the device.. feels fantastic in the hand.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] smashcz:
Thanks for info, I used Ebates too..
