Verizon Galaxy Nexus (Prime) Waiting Room

[atrain826]

I just left Best Buy and I was able to get their new buyers guide. It has the Verizon Samsung " Nexus Prime " listed as New and priced at $ 299.99.

Picture please?



That's good, then. Though I was hoping for the $199.99 price after yesterday's online ad fiasco.

How do I attach a pic? I am new to this.

You can add it to the post via AndroidCentral on the post screen. Hit ctrl f and search for "attach", then follow the steps to upload it.
Or, you could upload it on a site like this: imgur: the simple image sharer or plenty of others. Then, right click on the uploaded image and share with us the link.

Edit: this video might be helpful, too. I didn't watch it, but from the preview it looks credible and well done: http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=...DrvqQHXumhd3u-4WA&sig2=mTgLqC52f6ByB79ZqQmyYw

Pics of those best buy advertisements hit this site last week I believe. Definitely been shown already and I believe it was on the AC homepage

Some Ac member that works at Best Buy said that they will match any advertised price from Verizon, but usually come in about $100 higher for off contract. So if Verizon sells it outright for $600, print it out and show to Best Buy.

Yea we mark up our off contract pricing to encourage contract purchases. We will price match......SOMETIMES

 

[Mr. Poppalopolis]

Do they only match Verizon prices?

Search bar removed.

Well that didn't take long, like 10 mins to remove that nasty permanent search bar from the home screen... yfrog.com/khk39p

You can't use the space for anything else. Yet.

Wish I could get rid of it on the NS4G build, but doing so breaks the search button

So, I've been trying to raise some extra cash for myself to get the Nexus off contract (since I already bought my first smartphone earlier this year). I could've afforded it either way, but I didn't want to drop $600+ of my current money. Anyway, as of today, my money set aside has now hit $595. If I can just find a few more things to sell on eBay, I could hit $700, and probably cover the entire cost of the Galaxy Nexus.

It's already covered. Just do what i'm doing. Buy the Nexus Prime on a new contract, then cancel the contract. In the end this will cost you $550 instead of the $800 best buy is claiming.

This is exactly what i'm doing:
Price match 199.99 at best buy with the Verizon ad on a contract renew.
Do not activate the phone (to avoid the monthly bill for the month)
Cancel the contract the next day which costs $350 for a smartphone, minus $10 a month that you actually use the plan, so I will pay $350.
Use Groove IP with Google Voice to make and receive calls over wifi or pre-paid data.
My total cost will be $555, which I will pay $200 with my best buy rewards certificates and then $350 cash to Verizon for the contract cancellation fee. Then I would have to buy Groove IP for $5 on the android market.

NOTE: I have already contacted Verizon and confirmed that canceling your contract in no way harms your "reputation" as far as you being considered for contracts later. As long as you pay the $350 fee, then your end of the contact is fulfilled and you will not be punished.

Hope that makes sense to people..
