Hi i want to buy the nexus one off this site http://www.cellplususa.com/ but idk if its creditable site or its a scam. I can't find any info from it and I found the site on craiglist. Have you had experience with this site and do you think I should buy? The phone there is only 450.
couldn't find anything on it at resellersratings.com so not so sure it's a legit site.
Here is my suggestion on this:
Ok, research shows that they have not been in business for long at all (like under a week or so).
For this reason, you won't find any information on them.
Are they reputable? Hard to say, but things that would keep ME from buying from them is that their website has absolutely NO contact information at all.
They also don't tell you if the phone is NEW, Refurbished or used. How they are selling them for so much less is beyond me because, as far as I know, Google is not wholesaling them to ANYONE. The only legit way to get it new is through Google's shop.
Just my $0.02...
Ebay is the way...
Hey Sasha
Buy it from Ebay and to make sure its a good deal - go with sellers using PayPal as the payment method.. And if you are lucky - You can actually make a good deal thru ebay...
Good luck... Its a cool phone - Nexus One kicks ass.. ;-)

Either the biggest SCAM on earth...or the absolute worst attempt at a business website on earth...either way, wouldn't give them CC info and stuff..Not a damn chance.

Yeah i know its a awesome phone but ebay prices are more expensive than google!
lol "on sale" yeah ok.
DO NOT buy from there.
What does common sense tell you?
Tells me this site is 100% scam. I love the $10 COD option, though, with a same day delivery guarantee. Someone should test it out!
Sure... But..
The chance to find the phone to the same price as on the google-site will probaly not be easy.. Everyone wants to make money - so you can look everywere - You probaly won't find it anywhere to the same price..
You can make good deals on Ebay trust me..
But good luck with your search

Looks very much like a scam...keep your eyes on Ebay for (buy it now) deals that pop up every so often
Scam. End of thread.
no... the phone is retailing online from google, no middle man... how would this company be getting the phones cheaper than you or me? they arn't... use common sense or you will lose your money

Unless they're using the "loophole" someone else posted about to get the phone for $372 then reselling it for $450.
Do not buy that from that site.

Not enough of a profit margin to make it work TBH, and also, a pain in the but way to get their supply since they will have to get a LOT of people to open and account to get the phone just to cancel.
Either way, I say stay away.

Agreed. $79 is a relatively small price to pay for piece of mind.
If you guys missed this...
There were people in Hong Kong, one of the four countries (wait...Hong Kong is...whatever) got the head start, complaining that when they received their DHL package it was empty inside. So would there be any chance that some people took those phones and sell them damn cheap...?

Not sure about that, but like I said in my original reply, there is NO contact information on the site whatsoever, who would you call if there was an issue?
Also, if those people that had their go missing reported it, Google could Black-List the ESN's and they would be worthless.
SO not worth the risk...
I bought 2 phones from them
Back in Dec. I bought 2 iphones from cellplususa. I didnt have any issues, in fact im using the phone right now.
Hope that helps.

on local craigslist someone offering nexus 1 for $300 or 2 for $550. company's name is express sales limited. has anyone had any dealings with these people. www.storefront -210006.secure2cart.com
Never heard of them? Sounds like a scam...be careful!
Probably a scam. I would buy the N1 for full price on the Google website. Honestly it doesn't seem like the N1 will be replaced by a phone with better specs anytime soon.

That is so fake it is not even funny! Click on the featured products tab, it has the info on it from the web site builder template telling you that you can make it as simple or complex as you want...
Plus, those prices are outrageously too good to be true. No way that is real! And then some more things, like descriptions being very weak and inaccurate, and so forth.
thanks
can always depend on u guys. never been steered wrong or given bad info. greatest website in the world, besides pornhub.
Well my friend,
I also don't heard about this.Even I never heard from anybody.That may be fake..Please be aware for it..
Like they say...If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
Mess with them. create a fake email and tell them to send you pictures of the phone showing the serial number number or along those lines. and if you are too far away from their location for pick up, do not send money online.
It would be sweet if it was true, but unfortunately scams happen.

this is what you live by when it comes to buying on the internet
the thing about craigslist is its a classifieds... buy local, have the phone in your hands and test it before you do anything... use cash... and have a paper trail (personal contract/agreement) of some sort to cover your ass
as far as craigslist goes, if you are not buying local then i would stay away...
Yep, thats the bad news today folks.
After loosing it I am forced to call on my insurance and get a new one. Now thats all well and good, but due to recent financial problems I am going to have to instead stick it on ebay.co.uk and flog it for as much as I can.
Just wanted to say bye to you Nexus folk....
If anyone wants to buy it off me instead let me know. Is UK model, fully unlocked of course.
I am now going to go cry a little....
Pffssh... financial troubles? You have TWO kidneys, right?

LoL You have TWO kidneys ONE Nexus You've to decide
--: UPDATE :--
Right, that lost phone I had... HAS NOW BEEN FOUND!
However, I now have a problem. I now have 2 Nexi (that the plural?). However, the one that I lost has been black listed and wont work with a Sim inside, but does work as an ipod touch would. Just miles better as its awesome.
So my question is this, can I live with my nexus one just having Wifi? And whats the best way to go about with this. I could really do with the extra £400 odd selling my unboxed Nexus will get me. However, I wonder if I got a cheap phone just for calls and texts, if I could get my Wifi Nexus to work just like having a call capable nexus would be? Is it going to be to much of a compromise?
Cheers,
Sell your phone to someone in the US. They don't blacklist them here.

That... that right there is an Idea.... Never thought of that.
Means I get a brand new Nexus AND Money for my other nexus... You are a genius!
isnt it fraud if you got your insurance money but then "find" your lost/stolen phone?
Well when I found it, I called up my provider... but the guy on the line said just to keep it. Had to pay a big excess, so maybe thats why.
EDIT: Maybe thats why I never thought of selling it abroad... I do think that is illegal. But my excess was like £300 for it... almost not worth it... >_>. Will just stick with using it as a wifi device I think.
Well, you could use it as a VOIP phone...
ill buy it!! let me know how much u want for it, in USD
does the nexus one have wireless N? most new phones have that.
edit: found out that it doesn't
You can get the phone un-blacklisted, just call your provider. They may need a letter from your insurance company.
If you have one to sell, new or blacklisted, pm me with an amount in sterling or euro.

Yes it does, ever since Froyo arrived.
Ok Now...
I have decided to get one of these 6800's..
I intend to put my AT$T sim card in the thing so I can use it as my weekender.
Web, phone, SMS, txt,video calls, emails.. etc... Do it ALL just like a Galaxy Note..
So I'd like some hints on where to buy from..
I want to make sure that I get the correct version (unlocked, international; quadband? At$t ready.)..
And price should matter as well into the choice...
So please post your recommendations here....
I will get one within a few days..
Thanks to all who read this and thanks to all who reply..
All replies are welcomed and encouraged..
Thanks again.. jh

This seller is tops. You'll get your unlocked P6800 from Singapore within a few business days.
Negri Electronics is also a good option. Type "gift" in the coupon line and get $30 off.

Thanks guys..
I just pulled the trigger @ Negri.... 638 and change...
Now we wait.......
ps.. Do you'se think that ICS will come out for this 6800???
It was on a list of devices that Samsung Italy released would receive ICS. I am not holding my breath for when it will happen but I would guess it will. This seems to be their premier device so I would think they would want to.
does anyone know if Negri ships to Canada?
i just tried their website and it's broken
it loads partially the rest it throws database errors, i'm not so sure if can trust that business if they can't even maintain their website working properly
SGBEST.com?
I was browsing around and stumbled upon sgbest.com website in Singapore. Anyone ever use them? Looked like the 7.7 wifi only would run $575 with shipping to the US.
no way i'm not buying anything from those Asian based shippings
not for something worth $700
for a cheap $3 accessories i don't mind, but for something some expensive i want original
same reason why i've not yet put any order on any of those ebay sellers, as they are.... not trust worthy IMO
jus pulled the trigger too. thanks for the discount code. now i jus gotta keep my mind off it til it gets here.
I also bought mine from ebay, user rose528400. Free one day shipping and they included US adapter. No problems.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Samsung...US_Tablets&hash=item41613498a3#ht_4843wt_1297
Judging by their volume, they're probably a retail outlet in Singapore. There were no duty or customs fees, although the insert did say "personal documents". Whatever.

I bought mine from them. No problems at all. But I do live in Singapore and went to their office to collect...my precious...personally, from someone who turns out to speak with a Korean accent to boot.
I just pulled the trigger on one from ebay. the seller has sold 7 in the last month and no bad ratings. Got it for $550 + $10 shipping for 2 day fedex. Can't wait till it gets here! I also got a case from cellguru before the price increase and sounds like they are out of stock now too
did you guys get an USB cable? mine only came with charger :\
Hey guys,
I have been a XDA lurker for a while. I am looking at getting the P6800. I seemed to have found a site that is offering to import it at a wholesale price. It all seems fishy to me but I figured I would see what all of you had to say...
Ummmmmm
I think that website is 100% authentic. I would jump on it before they are gone!
what is the site?
Exactly my point in my reply...
I have some nice land for sale in Florida .... great deal too...

I dunno, this seems a bit fishy. First post to XDA and asking for people to check out a website....Good thing they can't post links yet.

You could be right, it may be an employee looking to get people talking about there products or drum up some bushiness! But they did join in 2009.
But to be fair i very rarely post as I am not as well endowed as many on here (with the skills needed for dev work that is and I don't look forward to being flamed), i have bought my device from HK, quick delivery and having followed the guidance on another forum can confirm its genuine, Samsung accepted it on my product account, tested perfect and everything people ask. The one thing I did note was the description on the package for customs, again reading elsewhere, it may get held up but the owners of the website say there paying import duty, hope this helps.
Haha, sorry guy's being new I was only allowed to post every 5 minutes or something like that. Basically I got distracted...

at 230 bucks for a 3g model is probably too good to be true, this tablet probably costs more than 200 bucks to manufacture alone, so at 230 I doubt it. googling reveals this

Oh, yeah. That's gotta be bull****.
Its so tempting. I have thought about using my credit card so it would be easier to dispute the charges if fake.
It look just enough like amazon not to get sued
did you decide to order from here in the end?
There is a zero percent chance that that is legit. The price is way too low and I'm willing to bet they don't have a good way of contacting them.
It's not worth the risk. If you really want one then look for a more reputable site.
I am still waiting for my income tax return but I have decided that I will be going with a reputable source.
Thank you guy's for your input.
Agree its not worth the risk, thanks for the input.
Really like this device but cant help but hold out to see if the google tab becomes a reality
I may buy one from HK, I need the Calling features, and from HK they're about 600
Anyone has a dvp they dont need anymore? I've been looking to buy one since quite some time.. Asking here coz no one seems to be having it in the market place...
Honestly, i have no idea what this device is worth now, but not looking to spend a lot..

If you know someone who works for a non-profit in the US you can get one through them. Up to 20 can be ordered by each organization.

I have one to sell, but it's a little beat up and has some significant AMOLED dimming. I think I'll take my chances on ebay. Even though you can get a decent 32GB MicroSDHC card for about $15, the a 32GB version of this phone sells for significantly more than a 8GB version.
A little while ago Secondipity's ebay store had 8GB models accepting best offer submissions of $100. That's the best deal I've seen. Even at that price, it took them a couple weeks to sell out. Now prices are higher. They were the T-Mobile version, but as I've read on the forum, it's just the same hardware flashed with different ROMs.
Either way, you may want to hold off buying anything until you hear what Microsoft has to say at the Windows Phone 8 announcement scheduled for June 20th.

Sorry sold my VP to CeX for £114 and bought an S3 the phone was nearing the end of it's life and, if dell were reluctant to fix a small issue with the compass then, I highly doubt they'll send out an upgrade for the discountinued phone. Bye WP7 and I'll only come back when I'm bored of android. Ciao.
I personally bought the DVP from this seller. ACTUALLY, he is like a half mile away from my home! HAHA. If you order from him, I can make sure he sends you a good working DVP. I am actually helping him unlock some other phones he has and removing some demo software on some Samsung Focus and HTC HD7 phones. He has a few DVP that are kinda messed up and 2 or 3 in pretty good condition. check it out. Look at his other auctions.
crap i cant post links. Go to ebay and search this item# 221020643141
i got a nice one, no scratches at all, pretty mint, picked it up in January of this year
$150.
no sub 100$ dvp??
Ended up selling my extra one for about $150. Prices were lower last month when an liquidator was trying to move some stock. Prices may go down again with today's announcement that WP7 handsets will not be updated to WP8.
anybody???
a bump!!!!
