Ok, I'm trying not to be overly jealous. It hurts my heart to do it. But my husband has an upgrade now and he is in the market for a Nexus. We are looking for the absolute best price out of pocket as it is Christmas time.

If you got a great deal on your Nexus, what was it? And from where? Upgrade or new line or family plan status also would be appreciated.

Share your savvy shopping skilz!

I had my previous phone for over two years, so I got the discounted $299 price and they applied $50 off for some kind of loyalty plan for having the phone for 2 years (you can see if you have this by logging into your VZW account).

I bought it from a corporate store, and the bill came to $272.74 after fees.

$334 from verizon. Phone, case, extended battery, and screen protectors. Got a $50 discount on the phone through my work discount( which I usually only got if ordered online) which was nice.

I don't know how I did it, but I convinced a VZW sales rep to sell me it for $205. I wasn't actually planning to buy the phone but when he offered it for this price I had to say yes. I could tell his fellow employees were not happy, lol.

I guess I would have been eligible to get this. I just went to costco and got it for $312.xx with the free accessory pack which was useless except for the cool car/wall charger. I liked the idea of 90 day returns. I guess if something awesome comes out before March 15th I am good.

I paid too much. There is a flaw within the device. It is either hardware or software. Regardless, it won't be fixed before my return date. Therefore, I am returning it and reactivating my OG Droid.

I got the same deal at a corporate store. We got a mailer with that 3g-to-4g discount in it. The salesman had never heard of it but checked in his computer and said he could honor it. I was pretty happy to get half off.

same as several above... $50 loyalty discount and $100 3g-4g promo. i didnt get the mailer, but read about it online and called customer service and they noted on my account i was eligible for it. the store said they couldnt honor it, but to call back to customer service and they would handle it. when i called back in, they immediately credited my acct with the $100. for phone and ext battery it was $190 after tax(also got the ext battery for $25)

$250 for the HTC Rezound (50 dollar discount for corp and the phone was out for some time)

Traded it in on launch day for Gnexus.

Paid $35 for restocking free + $50 since it was a launch day phone (299) plus taxes + $20

I also paid for a holster but wont include it on this but I paid nearly $400 for this phone.

I am fine with this for this time only.......

Just ordered mine awhile ago from Radioshack for $229.98 shipped. Really hoping it doesn't have any problems as I really don't want to deal with trying to get a replacement from them. That is of course once it actually gets here whoch could be as long as 2 weeks...

I paid $250 + tax for now, but I was lucky enough to get a rep who put a documentation regarding the 3g to 4g discount on my account on Friday. He said I will have to call the CS to have it honored when the phone arrives tomorrow. I'm hoping at least a portion of $100 discount since it was noted on the order.
