I'm just curious to see who else is buying this phone off contract.

[Mooem]

I will.

[JoeUserTX]

Can't afford that much coin at once, not this time of year. Gonna have to use the upgrade.

[Premium1]

I am buying full retail. Sold some of my old phones to pay for it so pretty much is like getting it for upgrade price is what I will be paying out of my pocket anyway.

[bworley50]

What's so frustrating is that not having a release date prevents me from deciding which way to go.

[davey11]

You can buy a decent laptop or tablet for the no contract Nexus.
The fact that you can put the Nexus in your pocket seals the deal for me.

Yup full pop for me...have to eat spam and cup o noodles for awhile.

[pheatton]

Im waiting for some reviews on the US version before making a decision. I already have the Rezound which is an AMAZING phone so Im good for now.

[bphelminski]

I'm buying at full retail, but I just sold my iPhone for $700 so that should cover it for me.

[Ricky Babalu]

Full Price.

[damstr]

Buying full price. Selling my iPhone 4 though four around $300 so I'm getting the nexus at the upgrade price about. Plus I think I get a military discount on the phone.

I sold my iphone and pretty much covered it all with just that. Not to bad and won't get stuck renewing the contract.

[aggie]

I will be but I'm selling my Droid Charge and 16gb iphone 4 so that should take care of a considerable percentage of the purchase. Haven't decided if I'm gonna keep my Bolt as my backup or sell it. I've been pretty happy with it since the GB update and purchase of the fatty battery. If the Nexus blows me away like I think it will I'll probably sell my Bolt as well.

[damstr]

The off contract price is supposedly $649.99 right?

That is what it is looking. I would say no more than that since that is what all the new high end lte devices cost on verizon.

[racedog]

I'll be buying it off contract because I don't like being locked into contracts. Its more expensive but if I get ticked off enough at any carrier I can jump ship without having to think about ETF's. Phones are easily sold so that's no big deal. Also, when I did have a major issue with Verizon, when they checked my account, retentions found that I was not on contract and if I threatened to leave I had no problem doing it. OTOH, I've always found Verizon to be more than willing to work out any problems we've had between us in a fair manner.

[MRW1215]

I'm buying off contract to replace my Thunderbolt. Was hoping to get some good money for my Thunderbolt, but I see them on eBay not going for very much... I'd be willing to throw in the original 32GB micro SD card (and I also have the extended battery), but if I'm only going to get $100-150 for all of that, it hardly seems worth it...

[xcalibur1011]

I'm debating on selling my phone for $267 and leaving me to pay $383 difference or be a good son and take my mothers upgrade..... that she has had since 2007 leaving me to pay $40 difference. Decisions Decisions. lol

[Scout_313]

I'll be exchanging my Droid RAZR for the Galaxy Nexus, but if for some reason they wouldn't take it back, I'd gladly pay full retail for the Nexus.

[jpprice]

I have an upgrade available, but still buying off contract. I don't like contracts.

[revickulous2001]

I shoved aside a thousand bucks (just in case) for this phone in August. So yep...I'll be throwing down some money for this thing full price on Friday (knock on wood).

[arctic388]

I'll probably be keeping my Droid Charge and buying a Transformer Prime tablet.

[swarlos]

I'm buying at full retail going to sell my bionic.

full retail... now to find a sucker to buy my thunderbolt to offset the price a bit

[FireAndGlass]

I hate contracts as much as anyone, but you guys paying the same rate as the rest of us in contracts are paying MORE to the carriers in the long run. You don't get a discount for being out of contract. That is already baked into the prices.

So VZW's ETF is like $325 these days or so, right? the phones are subsidized that much, give or take. the "give or take" part you need to watch, as some phones are subsidezed more, or just worth more on the market, and you should buy those, and sell them. E.G. I have a Dell Streak, but it sold $300 on contract, $550 off, so $250 subsidy with a $300 etf. Bad. But the iPhone 4 at the time was $400 subsidized so I bought that, sold it, bought a Dell off the site with my MSFT corp discount.

I'll be taking some ETF with AT&T when I jump ship, but I've already been given MORE than that over a year ago, and the difference sat in my bank account during that time. Whereas you guys not in contract, are just bleeding money.

rant off, but please, do the math.

How do you figure that?
