Hi i have a samsung galaxy s2 skyrocket and its not cutting it. I would like too upgrade to the gal nex gsm version. I am on a tight budget. when the nexus comes back to the play store is that the cheapest store online to buy it from. Thank you

It seems to be so far, eBay is at least $350+ but most auctions I see are in the $400+ range as of today.

Ya it seems that people are taking advantage of the lack of availablility on the play store, i would a week or so until its back on the play store.

if you look into used stuff, you can find them as low as $200-$250. just recently got mine as a secondary phone (along wtih my Rezound) for $250. i spent less on this nexus than i did my rezound WITH an upgrade! lol

I thought the OP wanted the better version of Galaxy Nexus with GSM? (not CDMA)

You're right, I missed that but still worth a look.

I got mine hardly used off eBay for 310, no problems with it at all and no scratches.

I do believe its 349 in the play store. no contract, no upgrade fee...not sure about activation fee. and it will be supported directly by google. wish I wouldve waited before I got mine on Verizon. it should be back in the Play store an another day or two

I got mine on eBay. Swappa.com is another option.

Amazons Verizon one is $0.01 with contract of course. Not sure of the GSM one. I try to add it to the cart but the website craps out :/

It's back up for sale on the google play store.

What about cdma though? I'm on sprint and would like one for deving purposes (and to use it as a phone) but am not up on my contract. Anyone know where you can get it for less then $550?

I just got mine (Verizon) from craigslist yesterday (Sunday) for $275 - slightly used, but hardly any scratches and came with a screen protector and hard case (which I might not use, I don't like most cases).

I spent about a week looking on craigslist and ebay - as someone else said, it might be wise until it's shipping from Google again and the prices might drop, but since the VZ and Sprint versions aren't available directly from Google, it might not matter much.

Also, mine came with Jellybean - some people might be preloading JB to get more money. I reloaded the current version of ICS, I want to experience the stock version before trying JB (plus then I get the experience of updating to JB too)
