purchased galaxy nexus

just wanted to make a rant/rave thing.
just purchased the galaxy nexus off the google play store (lol play store) for about $392USD.
:crying::crying: tax sucked! $32 dollars for NYC
first time i spent this much for a phone, it was almost unjustifiable.... if i wasnt selling my old beloved nexus one for 150-ish. so i guess technically i am spending only about $240 out of my pocket, which isnt so bad if you look at it that way.
..... right? what do you guys think?

Stop f***ing moaning. That's what I think.
You can obviously afford the money or you wouldn't have bought it. We can't order the Nexus phone from Google here in the UK, so we end up paying way more to get it from another source if we want it.
If you weren't happy with the cost then you should have stuck with your old phone

get off your high horse tbh. in what way was i moaning and or *****ing? i was simply excited for a new gNEX. i wanted to simply share my thoughts with the community about my purchase as some might have been in my shoes before too.

I don't want a Nexus - although if somebody gave me one for free I'd obviously take it.
Your OP didn't come across as excitement;-

That sounds like you just want to ***** about the cost. If that's not the case then I apologise - but that is how it read to me.

just an mis-understanding.
let bygones be bygones :good:

Look on the bright side: your tax dollars go to the state which "might" come back to you someday.

The price you paid for what you got is dirt cheap. I can't believe how little Google is charging for them, off contract. I bought one for my wife when they were still $399 and I have no regrets, that was a steal too.

I paid almost $700 for mine from handtec when they first came out and I bought 2. I could have purchased 5 total with the prices now. With the next nexus I might not be so quick to get, I think I'll be able to wait a few months for prices to come down....hopefully.
Google should really sell the next nexus for $400 straight from play store. They would kill the market for sure.

I live in Canada and here, Play Store doesn't sell Gnex so the full price is like 600bucks? I got one for 450 in Kijiji and since I sold my Nexus S for 250, so I spent only 200 bucks for Gnex So happy

I paid in Canada 649 for it, when it just came out, and still loving it.
BTW, just rooted and loaded JB on it.... like a brand new phone.

Yeah that price is dirt cheap, you got lucky

Newegg used to match price (minus delivery/tax?) but I guess they're not anymore.
$392 is pretty cheap as far as phones go, I suppose.

What do I think? It's the best bang for your buck. And honestly, if you're using it while on contract, you're wasting your money. Contracts are a thing of the past. Take it to T-Mobile's $30 5GB, unlimited text, 100 minute plan or to Straight Talk's $50 unlimited everything (runs on AT&T or T-Mobile, whichever you choose). Don't forget you have a pentaband phone, which is rare even nowadays.
I paid $575 out of pocket (after trade-in credits from Amazon) for my Galaxy S III i9300, so don't complain.

Daily Steals: Nexus 4 for $499

It's a complete rip, but Daily Steals apparently has stock of Nexus 4's for $499:
http://mobile.dailysteals.com/
MODS: Please collapse this along with the "Nexus 4... Round 2" thread. I apologize for the inconvenience.

List price $799? Really? Assholes...

Lol yep, it's a steal all right. Just for them, not us

Got my galaxy nexus through them. Was the UK model and at a decent price but they are very shady and it took a month from order to get to my door and the shipping part of it was only two days of that. Oh wait a minute, kind of like ordering this phone off the play store...

You can buy it for the same price in a TMobile store tomorrow.

Of course they did. That is what the exclusivity agreements and the throttling of supply is all about.

My life for Aiur

Its still cheaper then on our local mediamarkt (will be available in 3 weeks there)
And just about 10% more expensive then in our google playstore.
I really wish i could get is also for 349USD.

Take a look at this, they did the same thing with the Galaxy Nexus for 530 USD!

Yeah but sadly we can't, at least not right now.
I ordered mine on eBay from a guy from Germany who managed to buy 2 when they went on sale.
Paid €440 for an 8GB version *sigh* but I'm really fed up with my SIII so it's worth it!

Daily Steals is a legitimate company. I am not saying that they should be charging $500 for this, but I am saying if you order from them you will get it. Be warned however, that it will take 2-4 weeks before you get what you ordered. They are the slowest shipping company I have ever bought from. So, with that being said, by the time you get your Nexus 4 from Daily Steals, it will more than likely be back in stock at the Play Store for $350 +tax and shipping and you will be kicking yourself.

How the HELL did they get stock??? That's pretty shady. The price, as compared to eBay, really isn't that much. Yes, I am aware of the MSRP, but after tax you are paying a ~$100 premium. Worth it for everyone? No. Some? Yep.

I just learned this myself. I bought a headset from them on November 2nd. Still waiting for it.

I'll just leave this here: http://www.resellerratings.com/store/Daily_Steals
Just because they are "legitimate" doesn't mean some people never ever received what they purchased.

This guy is epic. :highfive:

Don't expect a warranty if you by from dailysteals. I got my Galaxy Nexus from dailysteals before the play store started selling it directly. They advertised a one year warranty. Took forever to ship. When I cracked the screen Samsung refused to help me because it was the international version. Had it been the playstore version they would have replaced the screen for $200.

So when they say daily steal, they mean from you right?

They most likely don't have stock and will order the amount sold and then ship to you. They probably have a connect somewhere in the supply chain.
I would ask if they actually have stock.

Nexus 5 - Best Buy Price Match - Share your story!

New Nexus 5 owner here. I was a Nexus 4 owner until yesterday. I sold the N4 (8GB) to my co-worker for $200.
Well... I went yesterday to my local Best Buy (Laredo, TX) and went to the Mobile section and this (pretty) lady was at the desk. I told her that I wanted to get a Nexus 5 without a contract, cash. She took the keys and opened a drawer behind her and took the N5. I asked her for the price and she told me it was $450. So, I opened the browser on my phone and searched the N5 on the Google Play Store and told her that Google was selling the phone for $350 and if it would be possible for them to price match the phone. She told me that it was possible. She took my N4 and verified the information. She called the manager (a rocker-tattooed kinda guy) and he authorized the price match. They have to put the store to be matched as Other.
Success!
My recommendations. Be polite. Just act casual and don't be nervous.
Share your stories!

best buy is the only retailer i know that matches the online price of any product. i didnt know the nexus 5 was sold in stores.

Yes, they do match prices of other online stores, but the list of the stores they match is limited. The Google Play Store is not included, so, this is why the price match of the Nexus 5 is YMMV.
From Best Buy:
"Amazon.com, Apple.com, Bhphotovideo.com, Crutchfield.com, Dell.com, Frys.com, hhgregg.com, HP.com, HomeDepot.com, Lowes.com, Newegg.com, OfficeDepot.com, OfficeMax.com, Rakuten.com Shopping, Sears.com, Staples.com, Target.com, TigerDirect.com and Walmart.com. We will match prices between our stores and BestBuy.com®. We will also match prices post purchase if we lower our price within 15 days of your purchase."

Try to flirt or something with the BB employee. I think I did that inadvertently.

Worked for me in Madison Heights, MI Best Buy. Picked up a 16GB Black and sold my 32GB black I had purchased from the PlayStore. I did not need the extra space as I still have 10gb free on my 16gb.
Comes with a Sprint SIM in the phone but no SIM tool, so just used a pin, popped it open and put my AT&T SIM in and have been using it since.
$370.99 out the door after MI 6% tax.

Nice.
When did you get it? I got it yesterday at 7:00 p.m. approximately.

If you can price match the phone at Best Buy, it is a way better deal than getting it from the Play Store. You don't have to pay shipping and you don't have to wait!

Back on November 20th, I believe (receipt is at home) . I had to stay late for an evening meeting and stopped by BB after reading some posts about people PM to BB on another forum. Took all of 3 minutes or so. Manager came over to authorize the $100 price match to online price with no questions.

I got Best Buy to price match the day it came out. They didn't really give me any issues. Yes, there is a list of sites they price match, but if it is a reputable site, they don't really care. I also had a $100 BB gift card for switching my electric company, and I sold my N4 for $200. My out of pocket cost was like $70 after taxes..

Now that's a good deal. Hopefully N5 retains a good resale value in a year or 2 as well.

I'd go in person and say the same thing. When the sales associate won't listen, ask to talk to the manager. Say the same thing to him. When he won't listen, bring up the Play Store, and go to technical specs. At the same time, go to Best Buy's site or Sprint's site and go to technical specs (whichever will show the ACTUAL specs; BB's site doesn't seem to go into too much detail). Then just Google "Nexus 5 versions" or "Can unlocked Nexus 5 be used on Sprint?" and show the results. Basically show them that everyone knows that the devices are identical except them.
Of course, showing them that is no guarantee that they'll honor the price match. As this whole thread states, YMMV when it comes to them price matching.

Used T-Mobile JUMP! No Option for Free SD Card

If you used T-Mobile Jump! for your upgrade, did you have the option to select the free item being offered?
1 year of NetFlix
256 GB SD Card

There was no option provided in the ordering process.

I can't answer that.... I clicked the upgrade part so that's all I know.... Like I said I called Customer service before hand and it seems as though if you do it by phone you can say what gift you want but... they now implement a $20.00 "assistance fee" for doing it by phone....
I politely told the lady I don't want to pay the $20.00 and proceeded to do the transaction online... She was very helpful though and answered everything I asked so I do appreciate that...

You have to go to the Samsung promotions site when you have phone and receipt in hand to place your order.
SD card and Fit 2 will take up to 12 weeks for delivery.
Netflix is a digital code.
https://promos.samsungpromotions.com/galaxyoffer/
You need IMEI, MAC address and receipt from the device.
---------- Post added at 09:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:03 PM ----------
Oh yeah, and the promotion for the Fit 2 and SD card is limited to the first 250K then they substitute. . .
So when you get it, hop to it.

I also used JUMP via Web to place my preorder. There was no option for me to choose either, Hopefully there still Gear fit 2 available for me to redeem my gift.

I guess this must be the first time you guys have gotten any perks like this. ITs been this way for quite some time that you basically upload a copy of your invoice and use your IMEI number to process your order for samsung promotions. Also dont get too crazy thinking it may come right away generally it takes 4-6 weeks to receive promotional gifts
So far I have gotten netflix, wireless chargers, gift cards and gear vr. They will send it so dont get too nervous if you feel like you been waiting a while.

I just ordered the phone on jump on demand and the guy told me i wasnt gonna be eligible to receive the sd card or gear or netflix promotion with it. It was only available if i got it as a eip or bought full price. Sucks but still got it anyways.lol

With jump on demand you can only do it over the phone or in store upgrade. No online upgrade. For pre order just call tmobile and when it asks you to say what you are calling for just say representative. Tell them you want a jump on demand upgrade and to preorder a phone. And whenever you get the new phone just go to a tmobile store and return the old one. Really quick. Make sure you keeo the charger, they wont ask for it.
If the phone is already out then just go to any store and they will trade it for you. Also pretty fast. The cool thing is that you dont have to put any money down for any phone with jump on demand.

The only reason I didn't order it was because they had a 70 down plus tax on jump on demand. I kept asking if that was right because it didn't sound right. Guess they did have a money down thing for jod on the note 7 but got rid of it because people were complaining. Sucks because I would've ordered it last week. But it's cool I guess. I'll just order it today

I went ahead and paid the $70, then got a text two days later from T-Mobile stating that I could do it for no money down, all I had to do was call back in and they would change it for me and my monthly amount would go from $33.50 to $37.50. I went ahead and just left it alone as I didn't want to risk losing my place in the shipping line.

I ordered mine last night for no money down at $37.50 per month. They checked my account and told me I didn't need any cash.

Note 8 USA dirt cheap now ;)

$750 from Samsung direct now, what made me chuckle is that they are now also giving generous trade in allowances for cracked screen phone. What's going on? LoL

Probably because new Galaxy coming out soon. These screens probaly cost them pennies on the dollar. Wait did you ever get credited for trade in? Or you still waiting?

Heard nothing yet. But then again they haven't charged my account an additional $400.

I literally just got my damned phone this past friday... I'm calling to see if they'll credit me the difference or if I'm going to have to return and reorder. I really hope they'll credit me as I've already spent $50 on a screen protector which is already on my phone

Just looked a bit closer and only the Tmobile note 8's are $750, then Verizon version is $760. But all the rest including the unlocked version like I have are still $950... lame

Tmobile here. They won't credit you inless you turn in and reorder. Maybe you get lucky and talk to supervisor?

I bought mine from best buy last month for $250 off.

Save yourself the hassle. Just return and re order as Nick said.

I was going to but I wouldn't be able to get the unlocked version or blue color, guess I'll just eat the $200 [emoji19]

If you are within the return period, I would return and re-order with the discount. Here it is.. https://www.samsung.com/us/education/welcome/

I will wait for next Note for it. Because I had to put $200 down and already few payments in on carrier. Wouldn't get any of that back. But I appreciate you letting me know ot this. I honestly was non aware of this. Thanks bro hitting that xda thank button for you!

Their Trade-ins are a joke. I sent a Note 5 in perfect condition, with a factory reset.
They gave me a $25 credit instead of the $300. After calling, they initially said the camera was cracked, then said the screen was cracked, then finally said its because I hadn't done a factory reset. After providing images proving that none of the above were true, they said they would give me the $275 credit.. that was November 2017.. still waiting on the credit
Moral of the story, its easier getting the credit from phone provider than Samsung.
