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.

this post seems way to suspicious..first you're brand new member to xda, second you used too much punctuation, third you signed your name at the end hmmm
What do you think it is going to be like on the 16th? When BestBuy says stuff like this
There will be no pre-orders on the Nexus S. Units will be distributed on a first-come-first-served basis on launch day. We will use a ticketing system much like we do on Black Friday to allocate inventory and keep the process organized.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
it worries me I mean because Id hate to be without a phone until I found an NS..I have 3 Bestbuys within 20 minutes of me and are pretty sure even if the demand is high enough for them to need to use a ticketing system. or maybe the supply is low? But either way If i have to wake up at 7AM to be there when they open I will
Just curious as to what you all think?
I am not worrying about it. People here seem not very into those modern toys. There are two Bestbuys nearby. I guess I'll just drop by when I wake up.

I really have no clue and wish I did
I think there will be a VERY tiny amount of people that actually know / are ready to buy the Nexus-S on it's debut date but one of the smart guys on here suggested going to a best buy that doesn't sell T-mobile handsets in order to increase your chances.
I'd say you would def be able to get your phone on the day of launch though

I mean, in the entire 10 months I've had the Nexus-1 I've only seen one other person with it. Chances are it will be the same for the Nexus-S and you will get it no problems

True, very true, good points. It wouldn't surprise me to see a TV advertisement since Google made that commercial with the view were your looking at the persons feet the whole time.
Im sure they will seeing as the N1 was a "marketing failure" but i really hope we dont end up seeing every other person with a NS...thats why i loved the N1, very unique
Personally, I think your chances of grabbing one are good. It seems to be very similar to the galaxy line, and if samsumg sold 3 million in the us, I know those folks won't be ready to shell out $600.00 four months later.

I am gonna ask my dad, to pick one for me from Cincinnati - Best Buy. There are 3 in cincinnati, I guess. I hope he gets to pick one after 3-4 days from there. Say by 20th December.
I stopped by my local best buys all of which dont carry tmobile and all of which have NOOOO idea about the Nexus and are saying they wont be getting it because it is a Tmobile device
Bestbuy is sooo assbackwards they have no idea whats going on with the device

Did you read their FAQ? They stated that they are currently spreading the news among all Best Buys. It just takes time and if the manager of the stores don't tell the employees, then expect to hear that from the employees.
The Nexus S doesn't have the popularity of the iPhone, so I'd assume supply/demand will just be fine. Possibly, a Best Buy located in a populated area would get more in stock than those that aren't. Just my guess.

I believe the ads are handled by google so figure if your searching for Nexus S on google you will get targeted ads, and this is a phone site so it makes sense

Ive been on the phone with Best Buy/NExus S Call center since 10 AM PST and up until 4PM I was told that they have no information that they can tell me. But then on one of my batches of calls they all told me the same thing, 157 Best Buy stores/Best buy mobile will be getting them.
But i was also told buy one of the reps, who i talked to for a good 45 minutes about the subject that they get new information every day and i should continue calling them because they give out info as they get it
He says that by the 14th they should have information as to what stores will be getting the NS.
Take it for what its worth, thats just the info i got from them . Just doing some digging of my own but i will be calling to see if there is anything new they can tell me and ill keep you guys updated if anything
You know, I really don't think it'll be out of stock. You should be able to get a piece easily.
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.

From this ebay seller:
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.
well... I am happy to save 37 US $$ and wait 3-5 more days... I can use that dough for a case and screen protex.. and may be a 5$ Sub sandwich.... cold cut combo!!!! toasted.

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 + $10 shipping for 2 day fedex. Can't wait till it gets here! I also got a case from cellguru before the price increase and sounds like they are out of stock now too
did you guys get an USB cable? mine only came with charger :\
Anyone know what the titles were because I don't think I got them when I got my pre-order. How do I claim them?
Wondering this as well
I was told the content pack wont release until 3/11 which was the official release date
This link shows which games are included (3 different bundles depending on the Network provider):
https://www.oculus.com/en-us/blog/s...oculus-now-bundled-with-galaxy-s7-pre-orders/
and this one when you will get it (03/11)
https://support.oculus.com/hc/en-us/articles/217370708-Samsung-Galaxy-S7-6-Game-Bundle-Promotion-
Just to confirm for Europeans, we don't get the free games.............(just like the titanium silver)....................................
I think it's unfair that this offer is for the US only
Typical, the Europeans get s**t upon as usual. In the UK in particular, not only do we pay over the top after conversion rates, but we don't get the offers either it would seem. I'm surprised we got the headsets.
The S7 was announced on my birthday and I watched the live streaming of the unboxing that same day. I was so excited thinking the phone was shipping with the VR.
I just want my VR. I hate waiting for things to ship.
And what about this "Galaxy Game Pack" that includes over 200$ of in-game currency, that was told in the Unpacked event video???

go to the samsung appstore ("galaxy apps"), switch to the tab "galaxy-apps" and somewhere down there's an image with "galaxy game pack" - "see more". i see 42 games with different exclusive stuff, such as ingame money or other stuff. if it matters, i have the international exynos version.
Checked my vr library today and there were 6 apps/games there waiting to be downloaded that weren't there last night. Don't remember the names.

Hope that helps! Seeing the phone in person, especially if you're on the fence about preordering, is definitely awesome. Photos and videos don't do the phone the same justice as feeling the phone firsthand.
