  It's actually trivial to flash Galaxy Nexus with yakju — I did that with my AU stock GNex. So basically just hunt for the cheapest Galaxy Nexus and then do the flash yourself.

  Agree with Scotty. I am a noob at these things and managed to flash it myself.

  Also, it is really hard to determine whether you are getting a yakju phone as its not really a product spec.

  Yeah, really hard to tell what Samsung/Google ROM the phone will be running without turning it on. You basically have to go into a special screen of google maps, or the setting about phone page, to know for sure. If it helps, here's the step-by-step I wrote as record for myself on how to update an Australian phone to Yakju: http://pastebin.com/gpRhmWjc
