That price translates to about Php17k at current exchange rates. That’s really cheap!

First available in the U.S., Galaxy Nexus costs $399PHP 23,416INR 33,815EUR 380CNY 2,904 and arrives at your door unlocked, without a carrier commitment or contract. You can use it on the GSM network of your choice, including T-Mobile and AT&T. It also comes pre-installed with the Google Wallet app which lets you easily make purchases and redeem offers with a tap of your phone. Best of all, we’ll give you a $10PHP 587INR 847EUR 10CNY 73 credit to get you started with your new mobile wallet.

There’s one minor problem though — the devices section of the Google Play Store (https://play.google.com/store/devices) is not available in the Philippines. Either you ask a friend or relative in the US to buy it for you or you can use a US IP address to gain access to that section of the Play Store.

Mga sir, kung gusto niyo bumili mura din sa Hong Kong, mga HK$ 3000 to 3500 lang ito since last March pa. Sa exchange rate ngayon na appx Php 5.60 is to HK$ 1.00 lumalabas pasok siya sa Php 20,000. Kung may kakilala kayo pupunta sa HK pwede magpabili.
Yun presyo na 3.5K ay with official warranty at yun masmababa ay walang official warranty.

What are the benefits of an unlocked phone like the GN? It needs a reliable network for you to be connected 24/7 and maximize the use of the phone right?

Hey guys,

Anybody know where we can get it at the following price locally, even online? Aside from Widget City that is. Are there any other sites that offer the Galaxy Nexus?
