Sprint Galaxy Nexus - Where to Buy?

[Seven2k]

spoke with a rep form BB. Said most likely there arent going to be pre-orders. They usually take pre-orders a week before release. But shes a rep..lol what does know.=)

UPDATE: Called one more store that I forgot to call and she was able to do a pre-order for me. I am going to the store tonight and hopefully get the pre-order. i will post what she did.

Ok so far BB and Sprint are both charging $199.99. What's the advantage going to a third party store? Anybody know how to get activation fees waived for a renewal?

With Best Buy's Phone Freedom program (if you signed up for it) you get a $50 gift card if you buy and activate a phone with them.
The best part is that you can use the gift card towards the purchase of the phone.
They can't waive the activation fee but I beleive it gets put on your next Sprint bill.
Phone - $50 + $36 and you come out ahead.

Yeah I screwed the pooch on that one. Where were you when I needed you?!!

Wirefly has them for 149 pre order

 

[Seven2k]

OK she used sku 5016254 for the pre order.they printed out a pre order agreement and I paid $50.

So when wirefly says shipping in 7-10 days are they playing it safe or is that to be taken quite literally, for those who have ordered from them before?

Edit: Per wirefly there is a shortage of stock on their end and they will fill on a first come first serve basis over the next week.

Bigger? probably not, but post the link when u find it for 149.99 o less

Check wirefly buddy, $149.99!! New lines or Upgrades!

 

[TropicalSammich]

Radio Shack Link posted now on front page. Looks like same deal as wirefly!

 

[TropicalSammich]

i'm kind of bummed to see no one offering to waive the upgrade fee's... usually it sparks initial sales competition between these online vendors.

 

[Seven2k]

Remember that you get $50 for activating gnex with gwallet.

Looks like Amazon is going to be late for the party!! I really wanted to order from them since they will match $149.99 and I have over $100 in amazon gc in my account.

 

[globen]

will best buy match wirefly or radio shack at 149.99?

you will have to find out from them.

 

[Eclectech]

I think best buy will price match. However will they still let you get the $50 gc

 

[jlo8720]

best buy mobile in austin just said "absolutely we will price match".

I think that
A) must be the closest radio shack/store (not the other side of town, etc)
B) must be in stock
C)they usually just call to confirm price/stock. I have had Best buy Price match on mobile phone accessories from teh closest radio shack before. FWIW

anyone know what the exact form the google wallet credit is in?
can it only be used for NFC payments? because i can login to the web version of google wallet (which you can order stuff/check out online) it would be sweet if it was so, essentially giving us a 50 GC to use online. Alas i assume it will be for NFC only purchases in store.


anyone heard of any bundles?

 

[jlo8720]

also whats to keep you from going to a sprint gnex demo, logging into google wallet, getting the $10 (or even the $50 credit) and then wiping data, and leaving?

Cool do they offer TEP like wirefly with no deductible? cuz im about to drop sprints insurance since its gonna increase again.
it would be much cooler if someone would match the VZW price ive seen it for as low as 49 somewhere.
