Buyer Beware!

It's a Galaxy Nexus:
- Super fast Ice Cream Sandish OS
- Great screen
- Very light phone
- Exceptional Google Superiority

Buying from newegg is the largest con for this phone. Phone arrived where the seals on the bottom of the product were cut open. Apparently phones bought from newegg, were originally bought from Hongkong through a distributor there. They open the packaging and insert their own business card! Brainstorm Inc. I am unsure if they tampered with the phone further, but once you turn it on, you know that it is not a google default.

Further analysis proves that the device package is "yakjuzs" which is the Hong Kong distribution. This phone then will only be updated via Samsung or other distributors. What users should do is immediately flash the phone into the Google distributed updates.

The whole separate distributor for the phone makes purchasing this phone from Newegg seem kind of shady. My girlfriend and I both purchased the phone at the same time from newegg. Her packaging had the seals stripped off, so she didn't know it was opened before.

Phone works great other than the stress of spending $700 for having perhaps a Hong Kong rip off or possible tampering of the phone.

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW
I wish I would have got a NEW one like I paid for

The phone is AWESOME, my one egg rating only refers to the fact that I got an open box phone when the item description made no mention that I would be getting a used item. I would buy another Galaxy Nexus in a second, just not from here.

Not worth saving the couple dollars by ordering it here since you are likely going to get one that has been opened/used.

Disclaimer
DisclaimerPlease read the product description carefully for all unlocked cell phones. Some unlocked cell phones sold by Newegg may have previously been locked to a specific carrier. A carrier-locked cell phone may often have carrier-specific applications and branding. Some of these applications cannot be unlocked and/or may not function with a different carrier. Also, applications requiring a data plan may result in data usage charges from the original carrier. In addition, the cell phone box may arrive unsealed and the cell phone may appear previously handled. The unlocking procedure requires unsealing the box and manually handling the cell phone. In this case, the cell phone should not be considered "tampered with" or "defective".
