TELUS will be releasing the Galaxy Nexus for $99.99 on a 3-year
TELUS is launching the Galaxy Nexus this Friday and it seems they’ll be celebrating its availability by a special introductory offer of $99.99 on a 3-year term. Still no word on the no-term contract price, probably between $599.99 and $649.99.
More soon!
(Thanks tipster!)

Rogers had better match this.

Since they get it after Bell, the price has to be better.
$100 / $600 should do it.

I will go with $50/$550.
And considering that this will be one of the first phones ever to be on every operator I wouldn’t be surprised if it goes for
$0/$600 in some places and
new entrants will have it for $550

Can’t wait to see if they release the Nexus S at $0 on a 2yr term with ANY plan.
4″ is the balanced screen size.
(by Xmas will be 4.3″)

That’s a great price. I hope the Rogers one comes out with the same price (I’m due for an upgrade). Speaking of Rogers and the Nexus, I find it strange that Rogers hasn’t come out officially announcing that they will be carrying the Nexus. It was only Samsung that announced it on their Facebook page. I do hope it is coming out Friday as everyone is saying…

They have announced it.. How else would Rogers costumers be able to reserve it from the Rogers website? Rogers announed they are carrying the Galaxy Nexus in Jan & opened the Reservation list to Rogers costumers that have either a 1-2-3 yea plan.
Well i hope Rogers is able to price match this. I do not want to pay more then $140 for a phone that Telus is pricing it as $100. Speaking of Rogers people that are already on the reservation system have the status ” IN PROGRESS” i am guessing Rogers got a huge shipment.

Gonna try to get 3 year contract pricing on a 2 year. Wish me luck. Hopefully the 11 years of tenure helps.

Nope! it will be:
$600 3yr
$580 2yr WITH activation fee
$550 3yr no activation and
$99 4yr contract, oops sorry, I’m sure they will try it, but THERE IS COMPETITION in Canada, so they will go “only” to 3yr contract!
Hope 2012 is the end of 3yr Contract.
Imagine 3yrs from now people walking with their BBs! it will be like a bigger Motorola Startac! nothing wrong with BB just with the sillyness of holding the same phone for 3yrs.

well if bell and rogers have a higher price, then telus price would include the $50 admin fee if you were to cancel your contract in advance in excess to the termination fee

I has also been pulled officialy, and it was for the i9020t, not the i9020a that robelus and their subsidiaries offer us. Quote from a previous MobileSyrup article, “The last few days have been awash in nervous excitement, as Nexus S owners impatiently wait for their Android 4.o.3 OTA download. While the update has been rolling out for AWS devices in North America (T-Mobile, Mobilicity, WIND and Videotron) it seems that Google has quietly pulled it on calls of bad battery life and high CPU usage.

Telus just makes you buy out your current phone if you are going to sign up for a new contract.
if you paid 200 for a 600 dollar phone, you would have 400 left over for 36 month contract – so for every month you have left you will have to pay 11.11, so it would cost you 133.32 to pay off your phone and sign up for a new contract (+ another 99.99 for the new phone)

Any contracts started/renewed with Telus in 2011 will show your device balance required on your monthly invoice, whether on paper or electronic form. This is the amount you pay to pay off your current phone. Once you agree this pay this off on your next invoice, you can redeem a full upgrade offer immediately.
Obviously paying off a $500 discount received for your iPhone 5-months earlier isn’t going to be cheap, because you’ve only cleared $500/36 months * 5 months = $69 off the total discount received. You still owe Telus $431. But at least you can upgrade anytime if you choose the do so, and maybe sell your current phone to cover some of the cost to be an early adopter.

Rogers still hasn’t priced their Nexus, and heres to hoping that they price it at 100! Telus seems like they’re smart enough to price it as the same as Bell, hopefully Rogers is smart, just this once

Approximately $180 in EDUF (12 months * iphone @ $15 a month)so $280 to upgrade to the Nexu (including your device cost). But yours could be less if they have applied a loyalty credit of 25% or more.

Rogers does not spend much time advertise this phone because this phones unlocked. Robber does not want phones to be unlocked!

Telus release the Samsung Fascinate, then later released Samsung Fascinate 4G, so maybe they’ll do the same with Galaxy Nexus when LTE network is launched/available later this year?

I went to the Telus store the other day and asked if they had a promo model of the Galaxy Nexus I could play with. The dumb chick at the counter had no idea what I was walking about, she didn’t even know what the phone was (typical).
Some guy behind me overheard me and pulled a Galaxy Nexus from his bag and he let me play around with it. Turns out he works for HTC. He wasn’t there to sell anything, but he told me that the battery life on the Galaxy Nexus is abysmal, it doesn’t even last a day while on standby. This REALLY turned me off. He said that I should be patient and wait until Q2 2012 before picking up a new phone, apparently there are some amazing devices coming down the pipe.
Could the battery issues be fixed with software updates? I really don’t want a phone that won’t survive for 12 hours with very light usage. If I’m stuck with a phone for 3 years though, I think the Galaxy Nexus would get the most support.

Usually you can count on a 20% increase (real life) with another Kernel. Add some MODS, ROMS, delete unnecessary aps and pretty much any Android phone will last you for the day…..for the first six months, then you upgrade again and you get the same performance for another 6 months; after one yr any battery only gets worse.
3yr contracts are just Silly!
Enjoy the phone!

Well of course an HTC employee would say a samsung phone isnt worth it. I gotta say, i saw a battery test on GSM arena, and the web browsing seemed to be sipping battery juice like your typical alcoholic aunt at a family function.
But for other tasks, i doubt itll be THAT bad on the battery

rogers corp site is showing ‘out of stock’ bceause they don’t have any stock yet, not because they sold them out alerady. they are updating their site ahead of time which is good since u can place an order rather than wait until friday.
i’m getting mine through my telus corp plan instead…99$ is sweet esp since i get a 300$ activation credit as a new customer (porting from rogers)
