Hi, unfortunately my Nexus 7 fell out of its case and now the screen is cracked. I'm using it with a mouse and keyboard now, as the touchscreen is the only thing not working.
I'm travelling right now and will be in the States for a few days, Fort Lauderdale and Miami to be exact.
As it'll be my first time in the country, I was wondering if someone could tell me if there are shops where I could sell my cracked Nexus 7 and how much I could expect?
Also, where can I buy a used Galaxy Nexus there?
Thanks!

We don't really have stuff like that here dude. There's shops by Miami international airport but I wouldn't recommend that. Try putting it in craigslist and list it as for parts.
BTW craigslist.com is a classifieds site, not sure if you know that since you're not from the US.

man if you make it here to orlando I might be needing one by the looks of it. Trade you for one with a google screen all nice and pretty, but on a serious note if you are in orlando maybe we can work something out. i would travel down there but It is a drive and I am only out there when heading to the ports Ft.Lauderdale or by South Beach that won't be until March next year.

So craigslist is pretty much like gumtree in the UK? Would that also be my best bet to get a used Galaxy Nexus?

Hey, yes it'd be cool if we could work something out. I am going to be in Miami between the 18th and 21st of this month. I am not looking for another Nexus 7, as I'm heading down to South America for another month and a Galaxy Nexus would be perfect in terms of portability. Let me know what you think!

If you're going to be in the USA for more than 3-4 days and you know someone here, I would recommend you just buy it through the Play store (or have them buy it and pay them back when you get here). It's 2-3 days shipping as they force you to pay for that and it's about $10 on top of the cost of the phone + tax.
The main reason is that if someone is selling what is more or less a new phone on Craigslist, there is a VERY high probability something is wrong with it. Like a friend of mine who going a Galaxy S III off eBay and now is stuck with a piece of crap that reboots itself randomly 5-6 times a day...or like when I bought a GS2 off Craigslist only to find it randomly powers off whenever it feels like it. So even if it seems fine when you check it out, you might be buying crap.
In other words, you are probably buying someone's problems in the high end phone area. You might also consider buying it new from a place that sells phones off contract. Most retails stores allow that as well. Not worth the $50-75 you might save buying it "used" off Craigslist.
if you want, id be interested in purchasing it from you. just let me know how much you are asking and maybe we can work something out.

Thanks for the info. Do you know how much tax it will be? From what I've read it should be 6% in Florida. Is that right? Buying it brand new is also an option for me, as it is still considerably cheaper than in the UK. From a quick search it seems most retailers don't sell the Galaxy Nexus for $349, as offered in the Play Store. Am I right in believing that?

Looks like 7% in Miami. Yes, $349 is the MSRP, so $373 should be your price when all done. Unless you go Play store, then add about another $9-12 for shipping.

Thanks for the info! I will probably get it off Amazon for $390 (the white version), because I can't buy the phone through the Play store outside of the US and I am not too keen on using a proxy website.

I've been asking around, neither Best Buy or Gamestop have any orders of the N10 coming, I suspect that November 13th will only be google play availability.
Wonder when Walmart is getting it?
I'd imagine (and hope) that it will be the same as the Nexus 7 launch and recent 32gb upgrade. Shops and the Play store will have it for sale on the same day.
I'm hoping to walk into PCWorld/Curry's in the UK next Tuesday morning and get one.

I'm hoping shops will have them at the same time, but I suspect that google will keep the sales to them only for a couple of weeks, and will allow shops to sell towards the end of november in a way that may help, cos it will give time to find out and issues before I make my mind up.
no
no but if its put on sale at 12am somewhere and i can just walk in and casually buy it then i will.
I'm going to sit in my comfortable chair, drinking soda and eating chips. With my fat and hairy hand I'm gonna make a couple of mouse clicks and have this device delivered to my house.

Without the Fat, Hairy hand, I will do the same thing.
I would never stand in line at a Wal-Mart. Never.
I have a brother-in-law who works for Walmart in a very rural area. Not many job choices there. The employee discount is very small IMO. I will be driving there on Thanksgiving and hoping it's in stock due to being in a rural area. Shouldn't be any lines on Thanksgiving. Tempted to get it sooner though, but 10% discount is $50.
Currys and PC World in the UK will be selling it in store. Will definitely get it from there
I, myself self will be getting one, but I hope that Walmart or best buy carries it. I don't like waiting for stuff to arrive through the mail, when I can go buy it at my nearest wallyworld or best buy.

Any confirmation yet whether they'll get it on the 13th?

Only apple eating troll zombies stand in line for tech. Android fans are smarter than that. I'm going to wait and see what the real world reviews are on this upcoming device. If the reviews are good I'll go to wallyworld and slap the cash on the counter and walk out 5min later. Wait in line lol that's funny.

So I just registered my phone online at the Samsung.com website and checked my email to confirm. They sent me a online code for 50% off of any phone accessory in their store. The stuff is usually overpriced but pretty good when half off. Also pretty much all their products are going on sale starting tomorrow for black Friday and also should drop the prices in stores. if you are planning on buying anything made by Samsung check on the website first. This means everything from their washers and dryers to TV's and everything else. I already got the email earlier this week with a code to see all the prices so I got a new computer monitor at Best Buy and they matched the price yesterday from the add. Pretty good since I payed $179 for the monitor that was priced at $249 in the store and on Amazon. Anyway hope this saves someone some cash during this holiday season. Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas!

Bumped for people who just got the device on sale or who might be getting one for Christmas.

I did this when I first got my S3. It's very cool because you don't have to use it only once. You can continue to use the code until you've purchased 10 items. This is good since most of the accessories that I wanted were out of stock.
i did not know you could do this. my gf just got a gs3, ill let her know
tried it... apparently my IMEI doesnt match..
wtf

I may sound inpatient but i'm sick of waiting months for android devices i want (asus transformer infinity). I currently have a wp htc mozart which im dying to give up for a nexus 4. I know we have no clue about when will see more stock on google play but should i wait or spend an extra $150 on ebay.
Don't buy that on eBay if you don't want to loose your money...

I would day wait. It's a while now since Google stopped accepting orders, surely it can't be long now till they open up again?
Up to you though, of course.

I personally was also tempted to buy one off ebay! Some of the prices weren't actually that bad. Considering the fact that google does charge you for the shipment you can get one off ebay for about £300, I even saw one sold on auction for £280. However coming to think about it more, the question remains that in case of a fault with the phone, replacement or customer service who do you deal with? The seller or ebay? Surely it has to be the seller since was bought off play store under his/her name to his/her address right?!
Just remember that Google will not handle any warranty claims if you're not the original purchaser and that purchase was from Google play. They'll tell you to go to LG for any issues.

Wait. That's what I'm doing. I doubt they will ever release it in the Netherlands, but I'm just going to import it from another country.
I keep my eye on ebay though. Sometimes you can get a good deal, but most of the time the price goes up pretty fast.

You can sell it when the marketplace opens again: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=476
It's going to become available some time this week for sure! It's only logical, they shipped all the 2nd round orders, Canada's shipment was resumed and T-Mobile US is getting stocks. Unless google is planning to pile up N4's in their back doors then they are gonna put it back up for sale.
I bought mine off of eBay, don't regret at all!
i sold and unopened new nexus 4 on ebay. i set it up as a bid selling item, and was able to sell it for 475$
what sucks tho is that ebay took 45 dollars of that sale plus paypal got 14$. in the end i didnt really make much more than what i paid for. I wont be selling electronics on ebay again.
You could also try Kijiji or Craigslist and get it the next day like I did. Just be very careful
im going to take the risk found a pretty decent offer considering it comes with bumper as well, hopefully google dont make a fool out of me but i understand how some say if its damage what you going to do? Well considering Google cant get their game together, I can't imagine it being very easy to repair or help out. Thanks all for your opinions.

Got my N4 today! Like you I started considering getting it off ebay but then came across Carphone Warehouse deals and I got it for £379 16GB with £10 pound top up.
PROS:
-Got it in Store so no Shipping cost
-Got it it in Hand today
-Resealable price considering they are sold on Ebay over £400
-14 Days return and refund (So if in 14 days google restocks.. )
-It's Carphone Warehouse a trusted retailer and in case of a issue you ain't dealing with a seller on Ebay!
CONS:
-I'm in UK so don't know about other countries
-Very few branches actually have it (If you live in London I got mine in Kilbern High Road) Otherwise go on the store locator find all the stores around you and use the stock checker to see if it's available
No way I got my nexus in Kilburn Highroad as well
BTW its only 28days exchange policy you can't get a refund for it only one exchange if faulty

What do you mean incompetence? If you mean since they sold it to you today. They upped the release date from Tuesday to today.
I thought BEST BUYS site was full of it..... the in-store option said "Available Now"
I need. Must go get.
Yeah I would go Asap. The rep I spoke to on the phone said they would be out of them quick as some stores have already reported selling out

Picked mine up this afternoon, Willow Grove, PA Best Buy, they're sold out now. I had it preordered already online for delivery, got the email at like 4am this morning saying the release date of a product you ordered had changed. I thought "well, looks like they probably pushed it back to a later release in August or something..." Then I saw that it was released today, so I went online to see if they were available for in-store pickup. Sure enough they were. Now I have the one I bought and the one coming via UPS. Now I'm hoping I can just take the one I got delivered and return it to the store with the receipt from the in-store pickup one so I'm not stuck with two.
Does anyone know when or if this is going to get its own forum?
Update: You can return an online order to any Best Buy, per their return policy. "Avoid shipping charges and receive a refund more quickly by returning your items to any Best Buy store within the United States."

Not sure either that's why I posted it here. Do we still call it the Nexus 7 or Nexus 7(2 or 2013).
Was really happy I got it today. Was gonna purchase it on Monday as a late Bday present for a friend who's Bday is tomorrow. Now I don't have to be tardy.
