I just got paid today. It's taking every ounce of willpower in me to not order this. Damn that's such a good price. The only things holding me back are the size of my Note (good God I love this 5.3" behemoth), and the possibility of the next Nexus phone coming within the next 6-8 months. I swore to myself I couldn't use anything smaller than my Note ever again, but I won't be able to help myself when the next Nexus drops. I'm done dealing with carrier restrictions and updates after the Note.

I'm tempted to sell my Note to completely offset it and come out $100 or so ahead, but I can't justify stepping down screen size and losing my S Pen just yet. Here's to hoping the i717 devs get on this JB madness to wash my temptations away.

Dropped my galaxy s2 tonight! :silly: flat on the screen, cracked it. Works still, do I go ahead and buy this at the $350 plus whatever, or htc one s on contract at $199. Considering waiting for the iphone 5 as well and jump carriers if its not compatable with local carrier
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
For those who filled out the price adjustment form? How long was it before the money was credited back to you?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crea78:
Just purchased my GNex from the Play Store :D Can't wait to get rid of the Atrix 4G with the VERY SLOW updates from AT&T & Motorola!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] foosion:
I filled out a form within a few hours of the price drop and haven't had the money credited or any acknowledgement from Google beyond "Thank you for contacting us" on screen after hitting submit.

It usually takes at least a few days before refunds go through. I'd guess no one has received the credit yet, given typical processing times.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] live4nyy:
Not at the moment, Stock & Unrooted. I'm waiting for my second GNex to arrive before I start playing around with it.

It gets slightly thicker at the bottom. The good news is, the Verizon/Sprint GN was thicker to begin with so most cases that fit the Verizon/Sprint GN will fit the GSM GN w/ extended battery.

You can get it at Expansys or Negrielectronics:

http://negrielectronics.com/genuine...for-google-galaxy-nexus-i9250-eb-l1f2kvk.html

And here is a case I'm using now that fits with the extended battery, they sell them in white at Sprint stores:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kiddiosky:
just wondering, can we order the white one?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kCelsius:
Not right now-I think they're only offering the 16gb black one for now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hungmung:
Yeah they only have the 16 gig black one, just ordered mine. I've been debating it for a while but another price drop was the sign I need.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] colts187:
I just got mine in and it came with effing ICS
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kCelsius:
Just root and flash the JB port in the dev section. :p People are reporting pretty good things about it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jmattp:
It doesn't say it comes with Jellybean. It says "soon with Android 4.1 Jellybean"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osugsxr:
Picked one up today off craigslist, only one posted. Picked it up for $240, no box just cord and phone. Now time to sell a busted galaxy s2 .
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] harveydent:
The Play Store says it ships with ICS. Why are you surprised?

https://play.google.com/store/device...axy_nexus_hspa

OS

--------------------

Ships with Android 4.0

Soon upgraded to Android 4.1, Jelly Bean
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bozzykid:
All GN phones from the Play Store come with ICS. Google pre-authorized the ones they gave away at I/O to receive the prerelease version. Otherwise, JB will be pushed to the play store version in mid-July.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eksasol:
Jesus it doesn't take.that much effort to update it yourself, not like its officially released yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osugsxr:
Galaxy nexus pretty solid! Sold my galaxy s2 with cracked screen for $180, drunk last night and dropped it. Replaced today with galaxy nexus off craigslist for $240. Not as pissed as I was now from last night, Jelly bean is nice!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] harveydent:
Great deal! Great excuse for getting drunk: instant phone upgrade
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aalupatti:
price is actually 380 with tax and shipping.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] quickxlr8:
http://www.theverge.com/2012/6/29/3126934/apple-samsung-judge-denies-injunction-galaxy-nexus

so this made me just purchase one
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kCelsius:
Was sort of a bummer, but come on, when are you gonna be able to get a pretty decent device for $380 off contract.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dieselfatal:
Not to bring iphone flame war but why do you guys think iphone holds duch a good value ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aalupatti:
its all to do with apple never lowering the price of the phones. Have you ever seen a discount from apple ( except for may be for refurbished phones. )
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bobsbbq:
How is the quality of the screens lately? I got one of the first ones from Play store and I got lucky and no issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lafester:
got mine today... screen is excellent.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] system60:
x2, no issues I can notice.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kCelsius:
Don't take my word for it but my thought is that higher resale value is usually correlated with highest MSRP prices. If you look at Apple products, like the iPhone, they usually almost never go on sale and usually maintain their MSRP price. Unlike that, Android phones a lot of times a few months later are cheaper because they're "outdated." But basically if the MSRP price goes down, that's going to drive the resale value down-just like cars. A used Acura of equal mileage, year, etc is going to cost more than a used Kia.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] harveydent:
More accurately, a used Acura will have a higher resale value than a used Honda, even if they have the same parts and came from the same factory
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bobsbbq:
Great, I think I'm going to order the wife one tomorrow. Have to wait until the 30th.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kCelsius:
Better order soon! Check out this article. Supposedly Apple got the judge block sales of the galaxy nexus in the US

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] painter_:
It would take some time before the ban affects the sale of the Gnex. The ban is that Samsung can not sell any to the distributors. So Google can sell the inventory they currently have on hand.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blaineevans:
Ordered as soon as I saw that. I've been putting off swapping to GSM for awhile but that was the motivation I needed, lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] romy134:
You think Amazon would lower their price to match but they still selling unlocked versions for 400+ I dont get it...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mikemoe:
what is the final price after tax and shipping cost???
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MikeyMike01:
$390.51

I think that tax and shipping will vary based on where you live.

Sent from my SGH-I777
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mikemoe:
I heard that those taxes apply only if you ship to illinois,,is it true???
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MikeyMike01:
There are certain states that charge tax on all online purchases. NY (where I live) is one of them.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DarkBanHammer:
its a shame AZ had to add a online tax. i just bought one :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crea78:
In NC I had to pay tax as well. BTW, my phone got shipped yesterday.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] foosion:
You're probably thinking of http://www.expansys-usa.com/ rather than google.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kolyan:
funny cause i just sold a "used" nexus for $350 :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bobsbbq:
Well just ordered another one for the wife. I just think this is a really hard deal to pass up on. 359.50 delivered, no tax for me. For such a great phone unlocked and carrier free is absolutely fantastic deal. I was happy even with the price at 399.00 when I bought mine but now the deal is even sweeter. She is already on the T-Mobile 30.00 plan the same as me and even with my overages we are about 75.00-80.00 per month for our 2 phone with 5 Gb of data each.

Thank you google, and Apple you suck!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] welchertc:
I love my Galaxy Note for all it is, but we have developers leaving left and right due to rampant trolls. Really making me consider selling my Note and coming out $100 bucks or so ahead with buying a GNex. I think the only thing keeping me from doing so is the possibility of the Note 2 or the next Nexus being announced near the end of the year.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bobsbbq:
I was thinking the same thing but then I realized that even if they did it would not be offered in this price range off contract especially when it first comes out. So I'm very happy with a 359.00 Nexus with JB for now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sean-El:
Yep, I just bought one from craigslist, brand new for $290. I love it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] begadkepat:
Whoo! Mine comes tomorrow!

I sold my iPhone 4S for this, and it's feeling really good already to be back in the Android world.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] t4t3r:
Is anyone using the unlimited 4g lte plan on AT&T with their gnex? I'm thinking about getting one to replace my iphone4 and it would be nice to have that extra 2gb every month before throttling kicks in.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] welchertc:
You won't get lte but you can still use the plan and get hspa+
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] evcz:
"Sorry! Devices on Google Play is not available in your country yet. We're working to bring devices to more countries as quickly as possible. Please check back again soon."
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Blazing angel:
Same! Really wish could find one in Canada too:(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wngmv:
Mine will arrive tomorrw! Now I have read all the tutorials and downloaded the root kit, CM9 RC and JB... Just checking UPS compulsively even though I know the status is not going to change....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kawaski47:
I was tired of playing the OTA game with my epic touch so I sold that in one day on CL for 250 and bought a Gnex for 275 shipped on ebay. 25 out of pocket. Not to shabby!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] system60:
Can be such a frustrating game
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pat123:
If there is one good thing (for us early adopters anyway :P) that this price drop has caused, is that more sales potentially means people joining the community means more people making ROMs/themes/mods and/or contributing to the community in some way or the other.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrkazador:
I was charged taxes in California. Still waiting for a reply from Google about my refund. I think I'm going to call sometime next week.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lafester:
refund on taxes? good luck!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jasonleb1:
12 hours! So stoked.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrkazador:
I don't care about them refunding my taxes, its only $4.38 in CA. I want my $50!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] foosion:
When I asked them to confirm my refund request was in good order, using the web contact page, they replied: "It can take up to two week to receive funds"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] s9ortner:
I just ordered 2, one for the wife and one for myself. Come Thursday, I will be kicking sprint to the curb.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] frankied22:
Mine will arrive later today. I'm excited to put JB on it.

Google must be selling quite a bit of these at $349.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JSZESZE:
I've been in the same boat for a year or so. Getting away from my flashed Epic touch on Boost Mobile is going to be hard, but buying this phone for $349 new was very easy. Paying $35 a month for unlimited everything really doesn't make up for having a device that takes 8 months to receive updates. Hopefully with T-Mobile's $30 100 minute and 5gb 4g plan i can keep my monthly cost roughly the same. Even if it would cost $50 with overages I'm still going to be satisfied.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samven582:
I really want to buy one but the purple tint is scaring me away :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jmattp:
So order one knowing that you'll most likely need an exchange. That's what I'm doing. If you get a good one, then great; If not, then it was expected.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] t4t3r:
I understand that I won't get lte but I want the extra 2gb per month that the lte unlimited plan gives you before AT&T starts to throttle. Obviously the gsm gnex isn't lte so I'm just curious how difficult it is to talk an AT&T csr into switching your data to the lte unlimited one instead of just regular unlimited.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] live4nyy:
Just find yourself an IMEI number that belongs to an LTE phone and give them that, then you will have the option of using the LTE plan. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iFalcon:
Can I get my hands on that nice Nexus logo signature?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] burhanistan:
So, I ordered mine on Saturday morning after I heard about the ruling. Has anyone else who recently ordered gotten a shipping confirmation?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cyrus D.:
I wasn't expecting it to drop dramatically like that but it's not a total shock considering the hardware is essentially outdone all around. A little disappointing that I signed up for a 2 year contract to get one shortly before this happened. But this price of $350 isn't even available in Canada is it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Has anyone received their price adjustment? Starting to piss me off here. I filled out the form with a couple minutes of the price change.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gtg465x:
Nope. Ordered one Saturday as well. Thought I would have received a shipping confirmation by now. Kind of worried.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] live4nyy:
Someone has already mentioned that they received notice that it could take up to 2 weeks. Have you never had to deal with refunds to a credit card before?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jmattp:
This has been said so many times...

UPS doesn't pick up on Saturdays. Google is in California, and their orders department is also there. Right now, it's 9:30 AM. Give it some time.

The preliminary injunction doesn't start until Apple pays $92 million or something like that. And if it does, there may be a chance Google gets to honor existing orders but has to stop taking new orders.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jasonleb1:
Got mine today! Aside from the fact that I really miss the menu button and it didn't come pre-loaded with Jelly Bean nor is it in my Software Update tab, but other than that it's awesome! I missed Android (Symbian sucks sooo much).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tyraelasd:
Hope someone can help me out.

If I buy one of these on Tuesday 3th 11PM or Wednesday 4th morning, is it likely to be delivered by Friday 6th?

Do they ship on saturday as well?

Becouse one friend of mine is buying it for me, and he is leaving US on Tuesday 10th so, the very last day to get in his hands its Monday 9th.

Please someone can advise me :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrkazador:
Seeing how July 4th is a holiday, I don't think your order would be processed then. Google ships using 2nd day air which qualifies for Saturday delivery. Here is a interesting note from the UPS website

Rooting the Gnex is a breeze. Just read up on the procedure in the forums. You should at least unlock the bootloader in case you want to root later or you could root but not flash any custom ROMs.

I'm having a problem backing up and restoring. When backing up it gets to the end of backing up data and says error. When restoring it gets to android.secure and gives an error. Running Tuesday rom with blu pulsar theme also have a battery mod flashed. Any suggestions / ideas?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RikkKeith:
For the longest time, I used your identical setup. Loved that ROM and theme! I still use CWR 5.0.2.7. I made several backups with no issues. I guess you haven't changed anything as far as the backup location goes. All backups are still saved to your external SD card?

The only suggestions I could come up with would be to try and reflash CWR, and/or reformat your external SD card. I've noticed when something gets out of whack with the SD cards (corrupt file or something) it can play havoc with our devices. I've had it happen, and after a reformat it cleared up my problem.

Just a thought and good luck...
