Verizon Nexus $150, Grades 5-6 at Cowboom

http://www.cowboom.com/product/1056896

Just purchased Grade 6. Disregard Grades 9 from Libertyville as they are not real. Only those from Chino or Flower Mound are accurate grades. Have been following these and they have been typically $279.

Great price, but only a couple of grade 6 units left, and they both state heavy scratches on screen and dents. Why do you say that about the libertyville units? What is the actual grade?

You may want to add Galaxy to the title though... didn't find it on search.

Even if Libertyville grades are fake, I'll just send it back with free return shipping.

Goodbye Motofail!

did the same.

I used to live right around Libertyville, and worked for the parent company of CowBoom. At the time, there was no facility/operation that would have handled this kind of thing there, so I can understand why it could be a fake, but I also don't understand why they would list it either. Might have to give it a shot. OP, why do you say its a fake?

With a 2 year contract.

Slightly worried it doesn't list 4G on the specs page? AFAIK galaxy nexus SCH-i515 a 4G LTE phone?

From wikipedia:
SCH-i515 "Toro": Verizon Wireless's variant featuring 4G LTE connectivity in the 700 MHz band (Band 13) as well as CDMA/EV-DO Rev. A connectivity in the PCS bands (800/1900 MHz). This device features 32 GB of on-board storage, measures 9.47 mm thick and features a 1850 mAh battery. This device's appearance is similar to that of the international version.

there are other providers than verizon. pagepluscellular would be a good candidate.

Think twice before opening that can of worms...

I flashed my Sprint Galaxy Nexus over a few days ago. It took about a week of reading and tinkering to finally get it to work 100%. Now talk/text/mms/3g work perfectly. Anyone that is looking at doing this I highly recommend you buy the Sprint version. Its MUCH easier.

The process is not for the faint at heart. One a scale of 1 - 10 I would rate it about a 6-7. With rooting and romming a phone being a 2.

4g / lte Verizon phones will not work on page plus unless you flash them, so that's the can of worms

It's a good option for verizon customers trying to keep grandfathered unlimited data plans. It's still $499 for a 16G model from verizon off contract. $50 less for a pre-owned from them.

I agree, that is my reasoning for upgrading phones on my unlimited data family plans Thanks OP! Green for sure.

Only 3g phones on PP for now so forget about using this unless you have knowledge in doing some programming.
