Pocket-lint been in touch with Samsung UK who claim the 17th is still the launch date. Its over on their homepage. Just tried to post a link and was told off for trying to post spam.
The whole situation is puzzling no?

I found this Samsung page dated November 4, 2011 saying "Samsung confirms Galaxy Nexus UK launch date of November 17, 2011".

Also here is a link to their Galaxy Nexus Facebook Page:

Please note that the release date is subject to change. As soon as we are informed of any changes to this date, we will update the website accordingly.

However, we are yet to confirm the release date of the item from Samsung. Once they confirmed us, we will update the release date accordingly on our website. So we kindly request you to wait until November 17, 2011 to see whether product released by samsung or delayed.

Thank you for understanding and patience in this regard.

Are you ordering the 32GB version from expansys?
 
negri posted on their blog that they won't be recieving their shipment this week anymore and that they will recieve it "early next week" .... whatever that means!
 
So on the evotronix.com site the $689.95 deal should be good on the 25th. They will open up regular orders on that date. So make sure you order it on the 25th because they will change the price up to the 750 soon after.

It's good because the Galaxy s2 for t-mobile just the phone itself is $650 new. So this 689.95 price for a pure Google phone is a great deal.


Edit - I contacted them and talked to a woman that works with evotronix so they gave me all the info above.

No way in HELL I'm paying that for a phone.

But you'll sign a contract agreeing to pay some enormous amount of money over the course of two years to a carrier and not have the option to leave without paying a fee that amounts to more than what you paid for the phone?

Put it on T-mobile with the Monthly4G plan at 100 minutes + unlimited data and text for $30/mo and you'll make your $$$ back even more quickly. That's my plan :)

Yep this is my plan, sure I get to pay $700 for a phone, but I save well over that in monthly costs over a period of 2 years.

too bad t-mobile's coverage is spottier than a dalmatian. I had a nice no contract plan with them... unlimited everything for like 69/month. a great deal until you realize you rarely can make calls, the web is beyond slow and cuts in and out. sorry, I'll pay an extra 30/month with ATT and actually have a phone that works

your coverage may vary :D
 
I was checking Bell Canada and VirginMobile Canada's web sites and it looks like you can pre-order GSM GNex off contract for around $650.00 (627.99 US, quick currency conversion on Yahoo). Bell says "launch date" is Dec 8, VM says "ship date" is Dec 7.

Galaxy Nexus from Bell Mobility

Phones - Virgin Mobile Canada

I was hesitant about ordering from Europe. Depending on what happens here in the near future, I might consider getting mine from Canada. Better price also.

No they already took pre-orders some time ago and closed it down. You can buy it on Black friday for the discounted price. Gotta make sure that you order it quickly cause their only taking a select number at the discounted price on black friday.
 
Can we have this thread pinned/stickied? A few of us are waiting for prices to drop a little thus any pricing updates for unlocked GNex would be very useful.
