Where do you all think is the best place to buy a Galaxy Nexus? From which seller? Is there a specific model to look for (yakju)?
Buy it from any legit seller with the lowest price. I bought mine from Negri Electronics but that's only because they had the lowest price back in December 2011. I wouldn't count on any warranty no matter what the seller promises you.
I wouldn't worry too much about "yakju" build. You can flash any build to "yakju" in 10 minutes. Mine wasn't originally "yakju". It is now.
There are couple of carrier sim locked GNex, the biggest being Docomo. I would avoid Docomo GNex. You can easily tell it's Docomo because it'll say Docomo on the back of the GNex. Docomo GNex are sim locked. Sellers will unlock and then sell Docomo GNex as unlocked "yakju" but the problem is it will have generic IMEI number instead of the factory unique due to the software method of unlock. That means no Google Wallet or anything that requires unique IMEI.
So basically, avoid Docomo GNex and you'll be fine.
