I am from India. The price here in retail stores is around 28,000 rupees..or sometimes even 30,000. This is the same I9023 which fits a S-LCD display.
But the price on flipkart.com is 19,999 rupees only. Why is it so? if it need to be less by a thousand or so i would not have been amazed.
I would like to know if these are 100% brand new or refurbished phones..
plz help me out i want to buy nexus s but am confused...
Ex customers of flipkart what do u say??...
Thanks in advance..
The price of the NS has fallen by quite a bit in the past couple of days. And it's not just Flipkart, a lot of 'reputed' online web sites have the same price, in some instances, a little less too.
Go right ahead !!

The drop in price was mainly due to the release of Samsung Galaxy S II and HTC Sensation for around 30K. Also,the price of Nexus S was around 25k less than a week ago.
I'd rather suggest letsbuy, they have listed the same at 19k, and you can get your hands on a brand new nexus s for ~17k (after applying discount coupons).

Only go for cash on delivery on letsbuy. Donot pay them in advance. Their customer care is non-existant, they do-not answer calls. Best way around this is COD.
On another note the price drop is surprising, I'd say the primary reason being lack of sales in India. Its a dev phone, most people go for the flashier looking Samsungs and HTCs.
Nexus S never had a chance here, NFC is pointless, there's barely 2% population using credit cards.
I'd bought mine for 27K a month ago. I never bought from flipkart.com but many people say they sell exactly as they on the website. I can vouch for Letsbuy.com, as I've bought two or three things from them.
Bought from Letsbuy.com. Ordered on 21st night, reached on 24th. Tracked the shipment through the 3 days on aramex.com... Cost me 18.8k.. How did u manage ~17k!!?
Expansys eBay store has the galaxy nexus for $575 + like $5 shipping... The only catch is its a open box item.. This is my first time opening a thread, Can I post the link or no?
Edit: I see other threads that post links so:
http://stores.ebay.com/eXpansys-USA-Store
I really want in on this but I'm hesitant knowing that it could be one of the ones somebody returned because of excessive banding, or other screen issues. Manufacturers and retailers usually don't consider that a problem and send them back out.

I bought mine from one of those deal sites for $565 shipped. Came in all original packaging. The only problem was the package seal was broken. I think reseller opened it to test the phone before shipment since it's an international phone. Other than that it's perfect!
Unfortunately he doesn't ship international
I also got my Galaxy Nexus from an open box deal via their eBay store and when I got it I couldn't figure out why it was returned. It was in absolute mint condition, couldn't tell it had ever been used. Accessories were still sealed even.

Pretty pricey and I would check their feedback rating first before purchasing it. If they have 0 ratings or ask you to pay without using ebay I would def stay away
Is it a presale? alot of people do that and wont ship it to you till the phone is launched.

Its not presale. one phone is 500 usd and 2 was min to order. The seler has 100 % positive feedback
Search it on ebay galaxy s4
looks pretty legit aside the photos are dummy phone looking or stock photos.
If you fail to see that this is fake then you deserve to have your money taken from you, period!
I did email the seller.
and here's his response to me.
Hi,
Quick info about my items:
- 100% factory unlocked, 100% genuine Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9500 in original sealed boxes. I have both colors: White and Black.
- I have EU, UK and US version of the phone with 64GB. You can use them in any country with any sim card.
- The phones are bought directly from factory and also this is the reason why the prices are low. They all have 1 year international warranty.
- I can send them with DHL, FedEx, UPS, Royal Mail or your preferred shipping company. The items are sent from my warehouse in Glasgow.
- Free Customs. That is right... Free Customs. I gathered a lot of experience sending items internationally and Customs are not a problem anymore.
- As you can see in my description: Pickup is not available at this time as i do not hold stock on hand for security and reliability reasons.
- I will provide IMEI and custom photos ONLY after i have payment confirmation from eBay.
Minimum order is 2 (no exceptions). My stock is greater than 20 and also you will get great discounts for bulk orders. How many phones do you want ?
Thanks

Definitely a scam. Possible hijacked eBay account. Seller asks to pay through bank transfer not PayPal. Run! Or kiss your money goodbye.

Don't get sucked into the hype wait a few weeks pay a decent price. You will only be "first on the block" for very short time and there's no development around or rooting available yet

Don't do it.
The price of this device will be the same when it's released in your store nearby, and you will have a 100% warranty it works or replacement or repairs. You won't get warranty if bought from eBay for sure and they are all PRE ORDER ( PRE SALE ), dispatch will be from 30th April. All written in the description of the product page on eBay.
My advice; wait.
Even if it was legit, I wouldn't order anything that would be shipped out of another country other than my own. Even if the item were socks.
I've bought about a dozen phones through Ebay the last 2 years, sticking will decently rated sellers, 97% and up, and have never had a problem. (Other than the 97% guy shipping too slow; now I go 99%.)
This includes a new OneX, a GT-I9300 and an Xperia P, all from Hong Kong.
Rumor 2 days old about sales already in China, and I've seen several Ebay sales and auctions go through for GT-I9500, for allegedly immediately available stock. I posted in this price thread about the $612 - $840 or so price range, the lower for 2 at $1225: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39194227#post39194227 Buy it now guy seems to be in the US.
I can't vouch for any of the vendors. As far as I know, as long as you stick with EBay/Paypal, purchase should be protected. If it's a scam, then it appears to me probably at least a dozen or 2 people have been scammed and it will become well known.
I'm waiting to see if anyone posts their purchase (or scam) here. Perhaps they're getting early production units with more faults than average. Under Features Radio for one listing though is TBD, LOL. Maybe the app and other software features aren't ready for prime-time yet.
Some guy is selling a bumper on eBay. He says he bought it from a carrier and that it is legit. What do you guys think? AFAIK, this is the first one I've seen for sell. I'm tempted to get this and dBrand's white leather vinyl...
I posted the link on reddit and it seems that the users believe that it is legit so I wanted to know what XDA thought.

He seems to have a receipt so I'm inclined to believe that it's real.
Part numbers on the bar code are different to the black one and hologram looks real so could very well be legit
This guys reserve price is above 24.99. Ask me how I know

Did yours also come with the warranty paperwork underneath the cardboard that holds the bumper up? That may be one of the best indicators of legitimacy, I don't think any of the replicas bother going that far.

Some of the replicas do come with the warranty paperwork. I've bought a couple that have it. Not only that, both the original and the replicas only include paperwork for Australia and New Zealand for some strange reason. If you have a real bumper and a fake one, the most obvious difference is the plastic around the charger port. It's much more refined looking on the real thing, but even still, you need to have a real one there to compare it to.
Not that it means anything, and it easily could be a fake, but the country of origin is Korea, lg is from Korea. Also, I've been around eBay for a lllloooonnnggg time and have found that generally if someone has 100% rating and is selling something of like that and barely making a profit the item is 9.999 times out of 10 as described. If that makes any sense. Generally with ebay, using it as much as I have, you just get a sense that the seller is legit. buyer protection is excellent between PayPal and eBay, so much so, I've been scammed once on eBay, fortunately, it was minor.
I bought this one for 16.99 free shipping on the 17th it arrived today. It fits great, buttons are very tactile. I was going to order another and the price went up. http://www.ebay.com/itm/350741240702

That is definitely a replica, nice though
Yes 100% replica
I knew it was a replica before I paid, it's not a big deal to me as long as it does its job.
Is the bumper still on eBay?
My uncle, just dropped his Nexus 4, check the photos.
Now what is the best fix? the phone is only 2 month old, has 10 more month of warranty, but it does not cover those parts.
He bought if for 830$, new here cost 555$ for 16GB version, I can:
1. Buy full new back cover + lcd,and just replace myself, but nobody can be sure they are genuine LG parts.
2. Contact local lab, that gives the warranty, and fix it there (and it won't be cheap, thrust me, I know), but he will get genuine LG parts.
3. F*@K that, and just sell it on eBay, and add the money to a new Nexus 4?
Thanks
$830?!?!? Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.... Ouch.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
ever think about buy a new one in a on-line shop??
830 bucks a lot!!! I think for all that money you can have a holiday in a country with playstore and buy yourself one..
As previously said ... Ouch and try and look at how much it would be to get one from an online retailer that can deliver to your country.

You know, when you stupid enough, and want the best and newest device, like, right now? now the price is "only" 555$ (we have 34.6% taxes on every device with cellular modem), so anyway, the best thing to do, is to sell, and buy a new? I sell stuff from time to time on eBay, just remembered a BB9700 with cracked screen for 120$ lol

Get a new N4. And tell your uncle to use a case, you have to be insane to use a phone that's all glass (not even all Gorilla Glass!) without a case. Try the Ringke Fusion - it's a quite nice looking case with a transparent back.
How much it worth in that condition?

I'm not sure on this. Probably not worth much - $200 tops if cracked, very few people buy cracked or broken phones. You could also get it repaired and buy a case, which might save you some money over buying a new phone and a case. It all depends on how much you are willing to spend.
Thing is, to make it look new, I need a back cover, display, and frame, so it just not worth it..
830 dollars? I'd jump on that deal in a heartbeat...-_-
It costs 360 USD including shipping here in my country and I thought that was expensive.
Now? Maybe not.
Also, are you talking in terms of USD? 850 a phone can get you something like, 3 Nexus's..
I'd suggest you sell and get a new one. There's just this thing about unboxing new phones that's so exciting
OK, I'll explain why that price, it was 2 month a go, so: firstly if you not buy from PLAY store, you can expect any price, in Israel it's :
17% tax on all stuff, and 34.6% on cellular equipment, and 2 month a go it just started to sell here, so again, new device, and you just want it no matter what, so there are always people that don't care about how much money they will spent, also israel is Europe, so its like 575$, not the 350$ US PLAY store.
Israel is NOT Europe! There are no such taxes in Europe! 34%!!!???? WTF???
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
front screen + digitizer is around $150 and the back screen around $100. So for about $250 you could repair it yourself. This would also be about the same price you would pay if you sent it back to LG for repairs.
Is that $830 US dollars? that is painful
How much is just to fix the front screen and digitalizer? I would fix those, cover back crack with a skin or case.
75$ to fix the display actually, plus maybe need a piece of M3 tape to glue the new display.
PS, the 34.6% is taxes for everything that has cellular modem inside, be it phone, smartphone, tablet, notebook, or even MIFI thing..
then there other 17% tax for anything you pay for here. I let's say, you buy a tablet, and it cross the сustoms of Israel, there 2 options,
if you lucky and it not considered to have 3G/4G/LTE, then it just like any tablet or notebook, and you pay 17% tax, if not..then there another 34.6%,
so many here, buy stuff in Eilat, or ask friends who go on vacation, as there no taxes on products, some say it maybe stop once..but I hope not soon..
What I mean by europe is, the some places say it's Europe, as the price is same as in other European countries, so we used to compare to Europe.
