Best Place To Currently Find A Galaxy Nexus? - Ubuntu Touch General

Looks like I need to find a GSM Nexus. The more videos I watch of Ubuntu the more I need it. Any particular place that currently has a GN for a reasonable price?

EBay is probably your best bet

You should probably spend some time to figure out which model you want, here are a list of models (from the Wikipedia page):
SCH-i515 "Toro": Verizon Wireless's variant featuring 4G LTE connectivity in the 700 MHz band (Band 13) as well as CDMA/EV-DO Rev. A connectivity in the PCS bands (800/1900 MHz). This device features 32 GB of on-board storage, measures 9.47 mm thick and features a 1850 mAh battery. This device's appearance is similar to that of the international version.
SCH-i516 "Toro": This model is same as Verizon's Galaxy Nexus: SCH-i515, however this version has 16GB.
GT-i9250 "Maguro": GSM/HSPA+ variant. Features support for both AT&T's and T-Mobile's HSPA+ bands in the United States. This particular variant was sold SIM-unlocked by Google in the Play Store.[58]
SPH-L700 "Toro Plus": Sprint's variant featuring 4G LTE connectivity in the 1900 MHz band (Band 25). It is virtually identical to the Verizon variant, save for the omission of SIM slot, and minor cosmetic differences.
GT-i9250T: Australian GSM/HSPA+ variant. Complies with Australian regulatory requirements and the baseband is tuned to prefer 3G 850 MHz. This particular variant is currently sold by Optus, Telstra and Vodafone.[59]
SHW-M420S/K: Korean GSM/HSPA+ variant. Complies with Korean regulatory requirements, like a camera shutter sound. This particular variant was sold by SKT and KT.

I ordered GT-i9250 since I think it will be compatible with T-Mobile, but one thing to note is that Canonical has not said which models the image will be compatible with (if there are compatibility issues, that is) or which model they are developing on. If they are just borrowing the kernel and drivers from Android, it may not matter.
There is also a desktop dock (has USB and HDMI), I ordered it but I ordered one that said Verizon (there were none that said T-Mobile). I don't think the dock is carrier limited, I guess I'll find out when I get it.

I'm just guessing here but I would think that they are working on the i9250 gsm version as that version works internationally and would be able to reach the most people.

This, you can usually get one for around $160 (I'm trying to get one for cheaper, not like I could use it with my carrier atm anyway). Just be sure to look out for things like "bad ESN" (means you cant use it with w/e carrier).
You might be able to get one from this forum... though it appears to be closed since december.. hm.
Edit: ah heres why: http://www.xda-developers.com/announcements/the-xda-marketplace-is-closing-for-now/

I got mine on Craigslist. Traded my Galaxy Tab 2 7 for it. So I got it pretty cheap. Can't wait to flash this!

Believe me I am! Full throttle revenge. Said my pictures were faked... took a video showing it and the IMEI and Serial. Now its up to Ebay and they will have my back.

Happy with eBay
I got one on eBay that was great. It cost about $250, but there were ones on there for well under $100, with some damage.
I just wish I could get a SiM card for it with something like 5GB of data that was good for a year. Still pretty cool to have a phone with no contractual obligations, though.

FYI, I got my Galaxy Nexus and Desktop Dock, and they both work together. So if you are shopping for a dock it's safe to ignore 'Verizon' or 'Sprint' in the title and just get the best deal.
Another strange thing, the model number for my Galaxy Nexus is actually: GT-I9250TSGGEN
I think it is the model I needed to get, I don't think the wikipedia page is entirely accurate about model numbers.

Somehow I think the price will either remain where it is or go up, pending compatibility with other phones and/or tablets. I know if something came out for my lowly Infuse, it would increase the value of the hardware based on what OS it could now run.
We shall see what transpires, but if you're looking to buy one now, the CDMA Verizon version might be your best bet, as they have all but stopped sending OTA updates for it. That is of course if you're on Verizon...

Looks like Samsung is out hunting for girls.
I get mine on the 29th. I've got 3 days of work at the London MCM Expo, so it should kill some time.
i should be getting mine on the 31st through amazon.
bits i have also ordered are the dual pack of slim samsung cases, the tpu blue case(samsung), an extra battery,pack of 2 screen protectors(samsung) and recently the rock hard cover. Im always unsure which case will work best, but i hate the flip tops.
according to amazon, the screen protector should arrive on the 29th, the battery on the 1s of June. The covers are ordered from mobilefun and i have no info on those..
Pebble blue for me as well, and i have an extra 16GB micro SD waiting for the phone...
Aha! replaced my delivery method with amazon and now ill get it on the 30th of May! yeah!
Ordered mine through dialaphone for delivery on the 30th, so only 5 more sleeps! It comes with a case and 32GB card, but they turn up in a month which seems a bit bizarre!
I've ordered a rock case with screen protectors, a car holder, a bike holder for my golf trolley and some nfc chips to play with

I ordered 10 25mm ultralight ones from nfcdog.com it came to just under £11
But having read up some more apparently the 38mm ones are easier to use as you don't have to be as accurate with them
The plan is to for one in each holder to auto launch the correct program when I insert the phone. And one by the bed to turn the phone into silent
Did an early upgrade with Orange last night, guy on the phone was very helpful, 36 a month, 1000 mins, unlimited texts and 1gb of data.
I lost my SGS1 about a month a go and my bank have replaced it for me with an SGS2! which i will sell towards the early upgrade cost and any accesories i buy.
Gonna go with the 64gb sandisk mobile ultra sd card, and some sort of pouch.
Is there anywhere i can buy an official pebble blue battery cover? I'm concerned that because i'm upgrading through Orange that it'll have an Orange logo on the back cover and all the bloatware, can anyone shed any light on if this was the case for the SG2 or other newish handsets?
Been so indecisive on wether to get the blue or white that even now i've ordered i'm starting to have second thoughts
Ordered mine as a free upgrade from my s2. £29 per month 2000 anyone anytime mins 5000 texts 5000 3-3 mins truly unlimited web with no throttling. Result..... been hearing a lot in last hour blue s3 is delayed. Hope not tho

I've had mine ordered since the 5th of May. This has been the longest wait of my life!! I'm upgrading from an iPhone 3GS to the Pebble Blue S3 - 16GB + a 32GB SD card and cover.
I hope these delay rumours are unfounded! I was praying that because it was pre-ordered it could possibly arrive on the 29th.
This is my first Android phone ever!! So I'm looking forward to getting my hand dirty and showing its capabilities off to the iSheeple in my family (and friends).
Waiting for my sim-free blue S3 from Clove (hopefully not delayed!). Not planning on getting any accessories apart from at some point a case for the beach,and maybe the wireless charging kit when it's available but that will depend on price really. Already received and activated my replacement micro sim from Three so everything is ready

I ordered the pebel blue Samsung Galazy S3 that comes with a 32gb card a screen protector and a pouch..
it's with Vodafone £29 a month for 24 months..
On top of that i ordered a few items to go with the phone..
1 x 64gb card
1x Samsung blue case
1x Car Holder + charger
1x Anti finger print screen protector
i have everything just waiting for the phone is killing me. But then again next Wednesday and we should be all good yay..
5 more days people lol..
I have a One X, but I have discovered that I can't live with just the available 25GB storage. The battery isn't such an issue, but I will certainly be happier with a removable one.
The One X has had teething problems. For example I still haven't got GPS, and HTC have said to get it, I will have to send it back for repair. So I have ordered a S3, from Carphone Warehouse, to collect on the 30th. I have got a 64Gb card, and I am looking forward to the 50GB Dropbox storage; double the amount that the HTC has. I wonder what - if any - teething problems the S3 will have?
When I get the One X back, I will compare them, and keep the best.

16GB Galaxy Note ready for pick up

Seems that Best Buy has the 16GB Galaxy Note in-stock at the stores, while the 32GB is not yet. Might change as the day goes by, but I would think its worth the extra $50 for the extra 16GB of built in storage.

Yeah. Originally there was a possibility I would be getting the 10.1 tonight, but I'm really leaning toward the 32GB version. Might be a few days.
I guess Best Buy will not be carrying the 32 in stores. HHGREGG by me has a $50 off coupon for purchases of $499 and more so I think i will just get the 16GB and at least it will only be $449. I can live.
For those that want the 32GB, I guess you can get the 16GB now and exchange it for a 32GB when they become available in the store. You would have to pay the difference and hope that it is before the 30 days.

HHGregg specifically says that the $50 off $499 cannot be used on Unilateral Price Policy products. I can't imagine Galaxy Note 10.1 not being registered as one because it definitely is.
I missed that line. Good catch! Well that sucks!

Just order off there website and see if it is available for pickup. Or order off amazon and avoid sales tax and wait a little or use the savings from sales tax to get overnight shipping. Plus if you have an amazon store credit card no interest for 12 months on all orders over 499

[Q] Is this the right time to buy a Note 3

End of December 2013, with CES right around corner. Is this a good time to buy a Note 3 or should I wait for something like S5?
Depends on what u prefer a phablet or a phone.
Time for buying note 3 is great, its cashback time
hit 'thanks' if i helped you

I think for Promo's and cashbacks and other stuffs as previous comment said, the answer is yes.
But actually, Samsung phones are going through a tough time now with the latest firmware builds.. Battery life is really bad ESPECIALLY if you are using Mobile data. It's almost same for S3 and Note 2 also... Dats why I created this thread here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2579075
My advice however is! Wait just a little bit, KitKat will soon be released for the Note 3. See what it brings... And then u can make ur decision. In about 1 month, KitKat will be released officially... Which means that we will get some leaks soon. Just be patient.
I normally buy every Samsung Flagship. But next year, I am waiting for the successors of HTC One, LG G2 and LG Optimus G Pro. Since Samsung decided to start playing with their bootloaders

IMHO the S5 will only be delivered in March (the earliest), and at that point a 32GB version might be a lot more expensive than a Note 3 now or at the start of January.
Now or the start of January is also a good spot for another reason - if you look around a little you might not only find a large discount but also one of the models that still come with MI7 or MJ1/MJ2 bootloader, so you can still root with Universal Root De La Vega (if you really need to keep your knox warranty flag). That was why I bought mine about a month ago or so - even if the prices were still not great the old models were slowly running-out and being replaced with phones that come directly with MJ7 or similar (new bootloader).
In my experience, waiting can be disappointing where these devices are concern. I owned a S4 for a month, I really didn't gain the advantages of it over my S3. Then I was keeping an eye on the LG G2 and Nexus 5, to no avail, disappointment on both ends when they were released. Finally, I found the note 3 to be quite impressive and with a $700+ price tag, I went for it and I am very satisfied- S Note being my favourite native app.

That depends, if you just want the phone now is a good time, I got one overnighted for $200 (with contract renewal).
If you want to root it and run ROMs then you may want something else or to wait.
I intend to do the latter and will just have to be patient since I have this:

That said the device is awesome.

I didn't check what it came with. Rooted/Flashed as soon as I unboxed it.
And you can get the Exynos one for 62k.

Oneplus One Australia thread

Do you think Oneplus One will be jacked up in price as they do with all other devices to the point that the price is no longer an advantage? I think Oneplus One will probably cost more than Nexus devices in Australia due to additional GST and demand.
They'll Jack it up, for whatever reason Lol
I reckon it will start at $400+ here unfortunately

I'm curious on how you guys are planning on importing it. I have a friend I recommended this phone too and they're currently living in Australia.

I saw on the India thread that they use exporters to get it shipped to them. Do you guys have an importer you're planning to use? If anything what country are you going to import it from?

Buy it from the USA and use a mail forwarder. Easy !
Traveling to Canada and buying it there and bringing it back
Edit: If I can get an Invite that is :/
Don't buy the US version, just buy it from mobicity

Screw that, I rather get the Note 3 which is a much better phone this this ONO piece of crap (ONO is good for a $300 phone, but is still crap compared to flagships).

How is the camera and battery life?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
IMO, it's pretty good.. Previously using iPhone 5.. Went to school with 100% came home with about 60%.. and that's just a two hour lecture.. with about 1 hour bus ride in total.. But now with the OPO, its go with 100% come home with about 80%.. Camera wise, it's fine for me but I don't have a really high requirement considering it's a phone

Personally, I'm getting mine sent to one of my dev friends in America. But you can use a mail forwarding company like Shipito to get it here. I ordered mine (64gb) yesterday, and it ended up costing me $400AUD including standard shipping to the States. The price is a bit inflated due to PayPal's ridiculous conversation rate, which was $0.90 instead of the $0.93 it should have been. On top of that I still need to get it shipped from Illinois to Melbourne, so all up I'm probably looking at anywhere between $430 to $450 I think.
Anyways, hi guys, ours nice to see an Australian thread here.

Hey, I'm in Melbourne too - did you get yours from an invite or 3rd party store?
I'm still hoping to get an invite but am getting impatient and might just pull the trigger on Aliexpress or similar.
Which carrier are you with?
Cheers...!
I got mine from oppomart.. Costing me about $430 for the 16gb version.. I'm currently using Telstra

i bought my 64 gb from them
cost me 580 for the cyanogenmod and i received chinese OPO with cyanogenmod rom
opened a dispute with paypal
advertise the cyanogen on webshop
any other got same issue?
I ordered mine last night from OnePlus via an invite, waiting on it to ship
@gerardo66 - not sure what the problem is for you there. The only physical difference is the Chinese one doesn't have CyanogenMod stamped on the back.
The 4G band difference doesn't matter over here, because the 700MHz band in the international version doesn't work here anyway.

Where to buy in New York?

Hi, as an unhappy owner if the Nexus 5X, I am looking to buy a 6P. As an EU resident however, I won't put up with the ridiculous price over here. Luckily for me, I am going to NY next week, and if I manage to find one for the right price, I will definitely get one.
I want to ask some local people for some tips and places where to look for one. It also doesn't have to be new..even refurbished or second hand in great condition would do.
Thanks

Best Buy in NY have it in stock. Check their website.f
Check bestbuy, create an account if it is in stock and you can just pick it up with your photo ID and CC if you're afraid it'll be out of stock by the time you get there.

Or B&H link
So 499 is the lowest as I can get? What about some places that sell used or refurbished ones?
Thanks

It's not New York, but they're refurbished.

OP: I assume you know that the US version (1511) only supports certain bands of the international version (1512) that may limit the usage in EU and elsewhere. A reminder post, if nowt else.

as @thecarp1975 said or you can check swappa on this link for the 6p. If you have friends or trust someone, do the purchase now because it could take sometime for the shipping

Guy from a local forum has bought the 5X from US and all the bands are working..he also posted a picture of the box with all the EU bands listed..but I might double check on that one

I'm in NY and for the last 3 weeks they were on sale. Best buy had the 32 gb version for 450 and 64 gb got 500
A store known to most in the NY and NJ area called b & H photo had them even cheaper.... 32 gb for 425 and 64 gb for 475, no tax and included a $50 gift card to use at the b&h store now. Unfortunately, those sales ended a couple of days ago on March 27th. I was lucky enough to get the 64 gb for 475

got one on order myself through the B&H website unfortunately when I placed mine they had just ran out of stock and the availability date keeps getting pushed back. Went from 3/29 to 4/8 now. Disappointed as I've had good luck with them in the past

B&H is awesome. They recently had a sale where all 6P's were 50 cheaper plus a 50$ gift card... So everyone bought from them, that's why they are now ridiculously backordered.

yes probably going to somehow find some patience if I still want that discount :laugh: I'm sure it doesn't help that I got the 64 GB graphite which I see as potentially quite popular.
Looking forward to the upgrade from the original Nexus 5 to the 6p though. hopefully they won't make me wait too long
