Samsung Galaxy Nexus 439-449 @ Newegg

Newegg has the Galaxy Nexus for 449, looks like if you wanna get a simple mobile sim with it, the package is only 439, not sure if they require you to activate through them, or if you can just buy it for 439 and toss the sim, either way here's there link

Simple Mobile - 4G/3G/2G SIM Card-Works with most Unlocked GSM Phones additional Monthly Service Required (SIMPLESIM1)
looks like you have to get the service for the additional $10 off
but even without the $10 off, still a great deal!

Great price from a reliable source.

How long is the shipping?

Newegg is from SoCal, so they'll ship fast to you.

They're also in New Jersey, so a day or two on the East Coast tops.

It appears that it doesn't come with a 1yr warranty, it comes with a 90 day warranty.

thats because these are asian imports.
you can buy the 1 yr coverage plan for $50, which still makes this a good deal.

But they'll also collect CA sales tax, which will erase all the savings over some of the other sites that are selling it for a little more.
Reading the reviews of the GNex on newegg's own website doesn't inspire a whole lot of confidence. It looks like their stock of phones may not be sealed boxes?

I have spent the last few weeks checking around. The quick answer is you don't. Lg dose not offer it. I looked up http://www.squaretrade.com/smartphone and most of the other ones. Average cost is $75-100 + $100 deductible. That brings the total clam to 225. For 75 You can just get a new one. If someone else has any other suggestions please correct me. This is the US dollar I'm talking about.

Check with your Homeowner's or Renter's Insurance Company, some will include it on your policy with a minimum deductible.

did that all ready none will cover it

This is the one I bought for my GSM gal nexus. It cost 50 bucks for a (at the time) 400 dollar device and 50 bucks per claim. I still have 6 months left on it because I paid for a year at a time. I was told I can transfer it to a new phone without any issues. So when My N4 gets here that is exactly what I am going to do.

Well, since T-Mobile is selling the unlocked Nexus 4, it SHOULD be covered by Premium Handset Protection. I doubt they'll be able to tell who you purchased it from. It will show up on T-Mobile.com that you are using a Nexus 4.

That makes sense. Sorry, I'm a little slow today. I'm behind on sleep after camping the Play Store yesterday to order the Nexus 4.

okay that cool for a Nexus 4 on T-Mobile, but what about a Nexus 4 on "StraightTalk" wireless?? (that walmart brand phone carrier thing that has very cheap monthly bills)

I feel you there I spent about 4 hours refreshing every 5 mins. Then there server cashed like 4 time. I took screen shots of everything. Because the transaction was disappearing from Google Wallet. I got on that's all that matters.

Verizon Galaxy Note 2 @ Best Buy.

Hey guys I was just wondering if anyone had an idea when best buy will be carrying the Verizon galaxy note 2?
I was at best buy today and the sales lady said she heard not until next year but that seems crazy to wait that long since all the other carriers already have it.

I'm a bestbuy employee and I can't tell you the exacts but I can tell you to "expect" them to be released tomorrow. These are not verizon exclusive phones like the DNA, meaning only Verizon can sell the DNA for a few weeks, best buy and other third party retailers to follow. The note should launch in line at best buy with Verizon. Honestly it makes me sick to know we have people in the company like this lady who don't do their research, when it is their job. If she would look in our inventory system that every employee has access to and look at the advance details of the note II for verizon, she should see that her store has them on order with a provided street date.
Provide me with your stores location Equalizir and I'd be happy to check for you since she didn't.

Hi Jdedeaux,
Thanks for the info. Also thanks for looking up when they'll be getting them. Here's the address:
611 Mark's Street
Henderson, Nv.89014
I don't want to bash the salesperson because she was super nice and answered my other questions. I get very little help at this particular location. One year I came in to buy a new tv. I asked a girl to help me and she said she'd be right back. 5 minutes later she was talking to someone else. I had to get someone from a different department. It really sucked.
So thanks again, I really appreciate it.

Jdedeaux,
Would we be able to go to a Best Buy tonight, and prepurchase or put a deposit down on one of these to guarantee pickup for tomorrow?
Any idea if the stores in Reston, Tyson's Corner or Alexandria Virginia will have any in stock tomorrow (specifically, Grey)?
Thanks!

Yes, the Verizon Note 2 has been available to preorder for a couple weeks now. You basically purchase a $50 gift card from them for the right to have one reserved. The are only taking reservations for the white ones.

^^ This. Most stores don't realize we are doing pre sales on them. As far as only the white ones I cant confirm that - but all your store "should" have them in stock tomorrow - as far as how many I can't say .... just go camp the door @ 9/10am.

Thanks again. Does Best Buy price match Verizon Wireless if I'm buying off-contract? I know theirs will be $100 more expensive, but I have $400 in gift cards burning a hole through my pocket (of course, they won't know that until I walk up to the register).

You don't want them to price match Verizon. You want them to price match ATT or Wal-Mart. I think I've read Wal-Mart was cheaper too.

Yes, best buy will price match off contract prices for the exact same model as long as verizon has it in stock and it is a corporate verizon store, not a third party verizon store.

Lol...what??? Best Buy WILL NOT price match a verizon galaxy note II for an ATT Galaxy note II. Two different products despite the same name. Wal-Mart though will suffice, again as long as it is the SAME CARRIER, and they have it in stock.
Don't forget to get bestbuys monthly protection plan on your phone. Unlimited claims , no deductibles, 9.99 a month, can cancel at anytime. Covers water, accidental damage, screen breaks, etc. etc.

The Verizon Galaxy Note 2 is on WWW.BESTBUY.COM now!!! Check your store via zip code and see if they have it in stock (most stores "should")! Both white and titanium grey!!!!

I went to my local best buy this morning and the salesperson said they haven't gotten them in yet. She said probably sometime next week.
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium

Just called best buy, they will hold one for me, but I can't find any add (for price match) lower than $699.99 from Verizon web page. I did some searching, but can't find anything. If someone don't mind helping me, please post a link with a cheaper price tag! That would be great!!! Thanks in advance.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA Premium HD app

Best buy just outright refused to price match off contract, and told me that they aren't even supposed to be selling them off contract. I bought the white one, but I'll use it for 3 weeks, return it for my money back, and then force them to price match whatever price Verizon is selling theirs at. I was pissed, but bent over a barrel since I wanted the phone.

That's weird that my local best buy doesn't even have them.kinda pisses me off.

That's odd, although I did notice a few big box stores that did not get them. You can always order it on dot.com and have it shipped to store free in 3-5 days.

Did you ask to speak to a mobile manager or a general manager? That's absurd that they wouldn't price match it. We are ALWAYS willing to sell phones off contract. This goes back to my original post about poor workers in this company. We are currently in the season for price matching, it is even on the new we are price matching AMAZON.

Sorry bud, do you have any other stores closer?

The phone is out, I picked up mine at Best Buy earlier today.

Did anyone sell their S3 to get the S4? Can anyone recommend where to buy the S4?

Trying to sell my S3 in to Best Buy (they offered me $250) and then buy it outright (they have it listed for $700). BUT on the Sprint website and on Amazon they have it listed for $600. Best Buy told me now apparently they don't do the "price match" for cell phones on contract o I'd hafta pay the $700 which is total BS! I was planning on getting my S4 this week (tomorrow or Saturday) but now I guess I can't! Can anyone recommend where I can get an S4 (not eBay) that also has a buy back program + "price match"? ANYYY HELP WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED! Trying to get this phone ASAP, thanks!!

They will give you $262.50. The computers in the store only show good or bad condition not perfect. Tell them you saw on their website the perfect condition trade in value and they will check it. Also they don't print edition match on contract phones with is different than a off contract phone. Tell them you want to buy from them and if you are going to get the Geek Squad protection, which I totally recommend over Sprint and Assurion, tell them you also want that. But you will just order from Amazon if you have to. Also talk to a Samsung rep in the store they will probably talk to the manager and do the price match. This is exactly how I did everything.

What about paying $700 from Best Buy?! Kinda dumb I'd rather sell it on eBay for $300+ (and have them take around $30 for selling fee) and only have to pay $600 through the Sprint website or even Amazon. I just want it tomorrow or sometime before the week ends and I won't be able to do that the way I just said. I'd hafta wait a week or so. Yes I am a very impatient person!

Well the mall (where Best Buy is) is like 30min away from me and I don't want a wasted trip there... so I literally JUST got off the phone with them and the girl didn't seem to know what she was talking about, but as I stated in the OP they said they don't do price match for on contract phones.

Please delete this double post!

Make sure you tell them you are buying it full price off contract, they told me no until I made that clear then they looked a little confused and we're lime oh okay ya we can do that. I made it clear that I shop there often and wanted to buy the phone from Best Buy not Amazon. And I wanted the Geek Squad protection and they said fine no problem then.

You are in the middle of a contract so yes you are paying full price off contract. What you want Best Buy to do is match Amazon's price of $599 for the off contract s4. If you were buying a on contract agreement phone thats when you get the huge discount. Trust me I got the S2 the day it came out and since then the Galaxy Nexus, S3, and now the S4.
---------- Post added at 07:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:59 PM ----------
It doesn't mean your contract ends or anything just that you aren't getting the discount and paying full price, then they will price match Amazon. They get confused to because not many people do this. Thats why I said make it clear you want it full price but with a price match. And throw in the Geek Squad, It's $10 a month with unlimited replacements with no deductible, just don't lose your phone, they don't cover that.

OK lemme get this straight, and hopefully when I go to Best Buy tomorrow it's not a wasted trip lol..... So what you want me to do (and what you did to get your S4 from Best Buy and got them to price match it??) is: go to Best Buy tomorrow and tell them that I have an S3 that I want to sell into them, then I say I would like to purchase the S4 off contract and I would like them to price match Amazon/Sprint's price of $600 because I really wanna get it from Best Buy and get their Geek Squad protection. If I got that right.... that should work and I should walk out of Best Buy tomorrow with my new S4 for $599 (plus tax)?!?! Thanks!
PS- Do I hafta do THIS to sell in, or can I sell it in to them rooted with a custom ROM lol?

If they argue ask for a manager and show them there price matching policy which I pulled from there website. It shouldn't come to that but it is their policy. I price match a lot there because I prefer Best Buy over any other stores. In fact I have a interview with there mobile department tomorrow. LOL.

Yes, exactly what I did. I was told the whole we don't price match thing early on when I was thinking about buying the S4 then when I was actually about to buy it I did my research and went to a store with a Samsung rep who knows me fairly well and got the breakdown that they would do all of this once I made it clear about the off contract stuff. Good luck and enjoy your phone, it will all work out and be fine. LOL.

Also make sure they give you the perfect condition price of $262.50 if it is in perfect condition. It shows on their website and I had them check it and they said thats fine. http://www.bestbuytradein.com/bb/fu...es&modelNumber=SPHL710KT&manufacturer=Samsung

Also they don't care what the carrier price is just say Amazon because its a store. Sprint can kind of do what they want sometimes because they are the carrier.

Thanks GiantJay I remember you from the S3 forums and can't wait to join the Sprint S4 community. HOPEFULLY I'll see you guys tomorrow!

You will. Let me know when you get it. I have an interview tomorrow at Best Buy at 4:30pm so hopefully I have a new job and you a new phone tomorrow, all thanks to Best Buy! LOL

LIST for free. No such thing as free selling on eBay lol. I just sold a bluetooth keyboard for $20 and they took a dollar or two from it in my account fees.

Are you against an early upgrade? That's what I did and paid $332 total.

They just need the phone and charger. You don't have to have a charger but you won't get perfect condition without it. Also the S4 has the awesome 2amp charger, one of the best features on this phone is the quick charge I think.

"T-Mobile customers simply bring in any working 4G smartphone and they’ll get the value of their trade-in when they buy a new LG V20. If their trade-in is worth less than $200, the Un-carrier will make up the difference with an electronic check."

hell at this point might as well trade in an old V10...darn phone is worthless in resale lol

Make sure it's a HSPA+ or LTE device.
Make sure your trade in is associated to your order.
I am too lazy to cancel my order and redo it for the $200. This Moto E would be fine for example.

Im thinking about getting a used samsung J3 for 50 bucks

Is this 200 off the phone or a bill credit?
Also will the Motorola Moto E phone work for this?

I'm hoping my lg og is eligible. Still works great after 4 years.

Bill credit for what the phone is worth and Lg sends you the difference in an e-check.
It will work only if it's a 4G(HSPA) or LTE device. I was going to use my Moto E but too lazy to cancel the order and redo it.

Think I'll be able to trade in my G3 with its broken SIM tray? Phone works, but no longer reads SIM cards. Wanted to trade to AT&T.

Don't know have to check that with AT&T and see.

I am not sure if ATT is doing the $200 for "any working phone". Their fine print confuses me. Seems they may be going by the value of phone and some may just get $5 for a cheap phone like the LG Phoenix 2 I purchased for a temp N7 replacement and until my v20 arrives at door.
Anyways, here is ATT fine print. Maybe someone else can make sense of it.
AT&T LG V20 PROMOTION TERMS & CONDITIONS
LG V20 offers: Offers end on 11/20/16. Participating locations. Limit one promo credit and
headphones per qual. purchase of the LG V20. Eligible min $200 Trade-in: Must be good & working
condition w/ min. $5 trade-in value & meet AT&T Trade-in reqmts.
http://www.lg.com/us/mobile-phones/v20/promo/att/pdf/ATT-TCs.pdf

not sure how accurate this website estimator is
http://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-trade-in.html
but this is darn ridiculous lol
LGIC H901 V10 64GB Black - T-Mobile $24.00
Samsung SM-N900T Galaxy Note 3 white $54.00
I also have a very old Samsung Nexus that is a 4G LTE device, but it is registering as $0

Then you will get the difference in e-check from LG regardless what the trade-in value is. It will always add up to $200

Calling Tmobile about this was painful and useless... I couldn't get a straight answer. I have an old iPhone 4 I wanted to trade in, which if I remember correctly does connect to 4g.
Can anyone who has gotten a straight answer from Tmobile USA possibly chime in? How the $200 trade in works? After 3 calls I couldn't get a direct answer and they wouldn't even place the order for me. Told me I had to do it online!

The ZTE Avid Plus is a go, I paid $20 for it and bought it straight from T-Mobile.
