Yeah the Galaxy Nexus is still a damn fine phone overall too! Definitely the one to go for if you're on a mid-range budget! Timely Google updates of the OS are always a nice bonus too ;)

1304132 2012-10-01 03:58:00 I hope so to to since I paid $1050 for my S3. I used to buy second hand nokias 6210s and Music express models from TM because I was wrecking them every few months. Either by falling out of my top pocket when climbing up digger booms and cranes or drenched in oil which wrecks the mic tel. Now I will buy a new Samsung everytime they bring out a new model and pay other waxheads to climb up stupid machines.

Thanks for that Plod, I bought a back case and a screen protector for the phone when I got it. My days of getting covered in oil and falling off machines (worst part) are over. I have been rolled, bowled and arsesholed for 39 years on trucks, buses, aircraft and earthmoving machines. No more.

This site has a high risk country associated with it. This may be as you expect but care should be taken if purchasing an item from a site that you didn't excpect to be associated with the countries listed above. Certain countries are listed as being high risk because of the high percentage of online fraud or tendency to send fake/replica items.

Not sure about the high risk country bit but using a free email address to set up a webstore is a bit worrying.

:eek:

Thanks for that, that'll probably stop me buying a phone from there or recommending it. Although my friend did buy one and he had no problems.

1304137 2012-10-01 06:05:00 Well, I just bought one, brand new from TM for $22. I think it pays to spend a little extra to get the good stuff. (Only bought it because I bricked my Galaxy. Immediately after paying, I was able to unbrick the real phone, so Murphy was watching quite obviously ;) ) R2x1 (4628)
