Please note that Tab 1 is for SIM Free handset, Tab 2 is for Contract prices. I have deleted the contract prices from the first tab as they are already listed in the second tab. The tabs are at the bottom of the page - I know its not clear but that's Google's design!

I wish three would hurry the hell up and release pricing info, the phone is supposed to be out in two weeks.

It would seem you might not get any information until the 17th.
A moderator on the Three blog has posted here that "You won’t be able to pre-order the Galaxy Nexus but we’ll let you know when it’s available on our network."

Hoping O2 won't do the same, but I have a feeling they might keep us all waiting. Getting a bit impatient now and wanting to get a pre-order in. Slightly underwhelmed by the O2 deals at buymobilephones.net. Want to see if Phones4U or O2 themselves are offering any better.

I ordered mine last night from BuyMobilePhones, 3rd contract from the top. Should get it on the 18th although I expect it to be delayed like what my Desire was.

I pre-ordered mine from BuyMobilePhones too on the Panther36 contract with £5 off so £31 a month (handset price £89.99). Good price for 1GB internet and unlimited wifi on btopenzone the only thing I dont like is that the phone will be carrier locked to orange. Not a big deal since I wouldnt be using any other sim cards in it but mobiles.co.uk DOES guarantee that all phones supplied will be carrier unlocked..

I already cancelled my mobiles.co.uk pre-order whedn I found the BuyMobilePhones deal, now I cant decide whether to cancel again and go back to the mobiles.co.uk lol :D

    O2 Pricing is here guys

    Hi all, I have been watching this thread for a while but finally have something good to contribute....

    Just been into my local O2 store and had a chat with their manager. He confirmed that the Nexus will be in this week (Thursday is expected of course) and also gave me a print out of pricing. I have split it up here:

    24m contracts -

    18/12m contracts -

    IMG_20111114_195647.jpg


    Simplicity/no contract (and proof it is from O2!)

    IMG_20111114_195712.jpg


    Taking those pictures would have been so much easier with the GN's panaramic mode!

    So, no real surprises. It costs £500 off-contract, the same as 3. The manager also told me that it would be network-locked. So much for networks not interfering with Nexus phones. ;)

    Anyway, perhaps I will see some of you there at 9:30 on Thu!

    RT @googlenexus: Galaxy Nexus is landing in the UK! 8am at Phones4U, or over the coming days from O2, Three, or Vodafone. http://www.google.co.uk/nexus/



    So again, a veiled hint that there is some exclusivity deal with Phones4U.

    Just been on the phone to O2 and they havent arrived and theres no tariffs in their system...

    Been advised to call back after 1pm as they'll have a delivery at around midday

    Just got off the phone with upgrades at O2. I'm a gold customer if that's going to influence anything, but they told me they have the Galaxy Nexus in stock, with a 1-2 working day delivery time.

    Asked about 12 month pricing, as that's what I'm interested in; got these in response:

    600 minutes
    Unlimited texts
    500MB data
    £42 pcm with £224 upfront


    300 minutes
    Unlimited texts
    500MB data
    £37 pcm with £249 upfront


    200 minutes
    Unlimited texts
    500MB data
    £32 pcm with £254 upfront


    100 minutes
    500 texts
    500MB data
    £27 pcm with £274 upfront

    I'd suggest anyone who has called and been put back, tries again until they get someone competent, or fancies asking whether this is currently only available to upgrade/certain levels of customer upgrading.

    (PS suffice to say, I have mine being delivered in 1-2 working days ;) )



    Update: Wewp!

    Outcome of disscusion with phones4u customer service (pay monthly contract):

    Jenny W says:
    I am sorry about the delay with the stock, there has been a further update that states all orders for the Nexus will be delivered pre 9am on the 18th November, again I am really sorry about the delay.

    All good things comes to those who wait. Just have patience and you will get your phones soon enough :)

    I don't think you can actually...



    Source

    Somebody must physically complete a form in the UK and have it certified by UK customs, I also think they need to sight the goods in most cases.

    And I don't think you can do a VAT free transaction to a UK address... :(

    Because it's being handled twice I don't think there is a way around...

    That links for people who have been in the UK and are leaving with the goods http://customs.hmrc.gov.uk/channels...ertyType=document&id=HMCE_CL_000130#P103_7314 is more relevant in this case.

    From looking through it you can get a third party to handle it as long as it is exported within 3 months, the gods aren't used before export etc.
