Disappointed with pricing outside google play

You may or may not have heard about this but if you live in a country where purchasing devices from google play isn't available(which is like 98% of the countries),you will have to pay a whopping 549 euros for the 16gb nexus 4(that's the pricing in Austria,dunno about the rest of the world but it will most likely be the same).I will actually have to pay more than double the original price of a phone that got 16gb non expandable storage.And if I bought it online,I will have to sacrifice local warranty.It just looks like google is doing their best to force me not to get their nexus devices.There's just a big hype about how cheap the nexus 4 is with cutting-edge hardware ignoring the fact that only people living in certain countries can get it for that price.Why can't google be fair ? Guess I might end up getting Gnote 2,at least it got a micro SD slot.

Wow. This sucks. Nice find! For that price, I'd definitely go for a Note II!
(My cousin is in the states so he'll order it for me and send it here to India through my uncle's shipping company - Win win for me!)

i am personally ready to be robbed by those retail stores. it sucks but then the price tag wasn't the deciding factor.

Maybe see if someone from another country can buy it from the play store and have them mail it to you? Providing the shipping cost is realistic?

I'll get one from Germany too.
If anyone wants to order for me send me a PM.

I am screwed, since I live in the Netherlands. No Playstore here. Hopefully the online shops will sell against Playstore prices, or less Sucks I can't order from European Playstores btw, so much for European 'shop integration'.

Yep, I can't but devices from the play store here either.... :/ just hope its at a reasonable price or else I'll have to ask someone to buy for me... its not there on expansys yet either

I think we should wait official pricing for other countries. However, if in Italy the prices will be so high, I'll buy it online from another European country.

Well, it's worth a trip to Germany.
But I have doubts this will really happen. That would be pretty stupid of Google. Look at the price if the nexus tablet. That's also pretty cheap for what it has to offer.

I completely agree, I live in Chile and the carriers here are just thieves, the galaxy nexus retails here for around 750 USD contract free.
Gladly my brother is going to USA on december and he might get one N4 for me there at a normal price.
Does anyone knows if you can buy a nexus product online? Becouse whenever I try to go to the website says its restricted to my country, I dont know if its possible to shop online outside the US. I wouldnt care not having warranty if I pay 300 box.

Thanks for trying to help but as I mentioned,I won't have warranty this way.And if I discovered any factory defects,it will be impossible to return it back.

I think that Google is selling the product below the MSRP because they expect people to post some of those saved euros into producst on the store.
It's 549€ here as well, and also in Sweden as far as i know.

Thank goodness my girlfriend lives in Germany.

It would be awesome if some XDA peeps located in Europe and have access to Playstores could help out their fellow European members

here in Israel i will be thank's full if it will Retail for 600$.

I'm sure it'll come in time. Do you have the N7 yet?

Nope,not yet but well LG said that the nexus 4 will be available in the middle east end of november so I assume Egypt is included.Nexus devices do take a long time to be available here.The galaxy nexus for example took freakin 6 months and it was exclusive to vodafone.Asus Egypt said that the nexus 7 should be available in mid october but so far nothing...

Nexus 4 for Switzerland

If you live in Switzerland and you´re interested in buying the new N4, you may have heard that it won´t be available here. So "Android Schweiz" made a petition to say Google, that also Swiss people want to buy a N4.
So if you want to buy the N4 (and I know you want ) go ahead and join the petition:
http://www.android-schweiz.ch/2012-10-31/online-petition-wir-wollen-das-nexus-4-in-der-schweiz/
Thank you very much.

Well, Digitec is the usual choice..
I fear they will not sell it at Play Store price but at LG price (I suppose double?)
If that will be the case, I'll simply buy one from another country.

Nexus 5 Spanish Thread

Well, I think the post title says everything but... Here we can discuss availabity of the new Google Nexus phone at the Spanish Play Store and everything you want.

Ordered my N5 on Thursday about quarter of an hour after it went on sale. Got the shipping notification at one on Saturday morning, but nothing is showing on the UPS page yet. Other people in Spain have movement and their phones seem to be gradually moving down Europe from Holland.
Anybody else here waiting for a phone in Spain?
I suspect this might be a lonely thread!

finally the Spanish thread
for most of us in Spain, the ETA is wednesday.
i'm waiting for the B&W version

Hi there...
I will be in Madrid at the end of the month, I need to know where can I buy a Nexus 5 in a physical store in Madrid. Buying it in Spain fits nicely for me, because I need the D821 version (The one with LTE band 3) because my operator uses that band here in Venezuela. What would be the price?

No shops are selling it so far, but I suspect it'll be a fair bit more than getting it direct from Google.
Can you not get it sent to where you're going to be staying?

Do you think one shop would sell if before the end of the month? I don't think I will be able of sending it to the hotel because I'll be only 5 days (time is not enough I think) and as my Google Account is not based in Spain I don't have the option to buy it online.
:/
It's a dead end.
Any other option? Best regards.

In the Portuguese thread, someone was saying Fnac might have it there, so maybe they'll have it in Spain too.
I'll let you know if I hear anything.
You could try buying it through a VPN and getting it sent to the hotel before you leave Venezuela.

I ordered the 32Gb Black version on Thursday around 23.00 PM - It supposed to leave their storage the 8th, but I got today (Sunday) a mail saying that the order has been shipped :good: No tracking from UPS so far, but i hope to have it home on Tuesday a least. I live in Marbella btw.
Anyway, big improvement from Google comparing with the mess surrounding the N4 launch..
Hope everyone gets theirs soon! :thumbup:

Same here! I ordered on thursday and I did not receive the shipping confirmation until yesterday (Saturday). For the moment the UPS tracking number doesnt show usable info.

Another N5 for me coming from a Xperia S
Got the UPS email, but GPlay keeps telling me "will be sent Nov 8"

I've received the email telling me that the order has been shipped but my UPS tracking number is still inactive, can't wait 'til tomorrow...

Still nothing showing on my UPS tracking page. Was dispatched on Friday evening.

Is the 32GB version in black or white still available in the spanish Google store?

Yes, still available it seems..just that the estimated shipping is between 2 to 3 weeks

I've now had the same thing on my UPS page for three days. A label has been created and there will be an update when the package is with UPS.
I emailed UPS yesterday and they said that they don't have my phone yet, but Google say it was shipped on Friday.
Seems like a few people in Spain are having the same problem.

Hey guys, here is the thread to talk about Nexus 5 in Indonesia, I guess it won't be available until January or late December, but you can share any info about N5 in Indonesia here.
tell us what do you guys expect about N5 in Indonesia, whether its price tag, release date, or you have any info to get it from Play Store, please share it here!
Off-topic is welcomed here. :beer:
If you want to talk in Bahasa it's okay as long as you include the translation.

yes, I am sure it won't go as high as G2, since the G2 price is on 6.5M I am sure the N5 will be in 5-6M range if not the same price as N4 when first released here back in january.
Not sure which version will be released here tho, but let's hope it will be the 32GB version.

well let's hope it stays that way to get buyers attention.. a phone with Snapdragon 800 for under $600 is considered a steal even in indonesian standard..
heck, even my LG G2 (which is basically a N5 with a bigger battery, an IR Port, and 13 megapixel camera) is about $100 cheaper than the Z1.. and a whole $200 cheaper than the Note 3..

The "luxury item tax" sucks in this country. (pajak barang mewah in Indonesian)
If LG decides to bring it here, I think it'll be priced at IDR 5,499,000 and IDR 5,999,000 for the 16GB / 32GB variant respectively. Not sure when, but since there's this Indocomtech event going on right now and they are advertising the G2 a lot, I think we'll have to wait until the craze about G2 dies down before they bring it to Indonesia. I mean why would they bring a cheaper phone when they have G2 right?
I have a credit card but I'm not sure how I feel about ordering online via Play Store / Amazon / eBay. If there's a holdup at the airport that would suck. I may even have to end up paying more money just to get that phone "released" from the custody of stupidly retarded corrupted people.
I have a few friends in the US that travels back and forth though, so I'm actually thinking of asking them to get one for me.
Anyone knows if the it can be used in Indonesia though? I'm kind of afraid there's a difference in network bands.
Anyway, with all that said, maybe we can all try to rush LG by perhaps, mentioning the existance of Nexus 5 via Twitter (@lgmobileid) or their Facebook fan page
Perhaps if they see there are dozens of people wanting this phone badly they'll speed up the release.
Oh well, here I am hoping and crossing my fingers as each day goes by :fingers-crossed:

I am good as long as the price is not cross 6M mark.
No it's not luxury item tax, it still under consideration by government, not yet become a policy. and the pricing in non-play store country is almost the same because it sells by LG and warranty is goes to LG not Google.
I am not sure but G2 has better camera and more mainstream device here, who cares about Nexus here lol
I am not yet seeing any person using N4 here btw in Jogja.
I am pretty sure it is usable here, it's all the same except the cdma variant and LTE bands which is still not available yet here.
It's like nexus 4 case, a lot of people including me force them to release it quickly or at least give us the date but they still quiet until it's released back in January, I guess it will be the same in this case.
so we still has 2 months left to wonder about the price and release date, and there is still hope for dollar to get weak, and back to 10k.

how was the price of nexus 4 back then when it was released on indonesia?
I hope the price can be below 5m, it is retarded if it goes up to 6m what is that stupid tax someone said about? I mean I saw a lenovo k900 advertisement on kompas today priced at 4m, NOT FAR from ebay or another online price I saw from googling, thus if lenovo phone price can be reasonably on par with international 'standard', why can't nexus 5???
if the ridiculous inflated price do happen, what is the cause? don't tell me that phones taxes are somehow tied with the phones' specs, that is utterly retarded beyond idiocy
now anoyher matter is availability, will normal phone shops here have nexus 5? how about the services and warranty, who is going to cover for them?
also can indonesian buy nexus 5 directly from google?

I heard from singapore forum, we can order N5 from australia's google playstore and then get it ship to Indonesia.
I got friend that can buy me the phone and when she comes back, I can have my N5. But can it really work with our carriers?

sigh, unfortunately I can't wait, my current phone is dying, actually originally I've been waiting for these new high end phablets especially the htc one max but htc dropped their balls really really harf with such underwhelming specs, not to mention htc phones are as expensive as samsung here I think, one of the reason I was hoping for htc because of their sense, been a long time admirer of it since touchflo days with winmo but surprisingly never owned an htc device lol... just when I finally about to get one they came up with rubbish phone lol.
don't like the bloatware infested samsung phones as well as their annualy rising apple like insanely high prices
lg g2 is quite nice but I don't like their ui too, as well as their less than average software updates support
then there is sony phones, for some time I liked sony ericsson very much on the days of P800-900 as well as the very first xperia phone but their current fetish with water proof phones just put me off, report says they have terrible sounds as well as underwhelming display, I don't like the ui either lol
so in a way, nexus 5 is my last hope for a 2013 flagship phone, either this or I'll wait to see the next htc flagship which is probably still 6+ months away unfortunately
overall it's sucks to be in this position lol

it is normal for modern smartphone, only the downside for me is development, development on N4 is almost reach its max, and everything will be steady, no more surprise whatsoever.
I tried my friend's S4, it's hot when playing game, not N4 hot but it is plastic while n4 is glass.
try to undervolt the cpu it will be much cooler, never had any heat issue unless the phone is constantly searching for signal cause i am in poor coverage area which is pretty normal on any phone.

Nexus 5 Malaysian Thread [Pricing, Availability, Reviews, Support and More]

I am surprised that there is no Malaysian thread here because I know a lot of people from Malaysia that would want to own a Nexus 5. I guess everybody is in LowYatForums. Anyway, so yeah, I just wanted a thread where us Malaysians could discuss on how and when we get our Nexus 5.
Hopefully everyone here can speak english or if they would like to speak in Malay or any other languages, please also use Google Translate and provide your translation for the other users.
In my own experience, I can't wait for a Nexus 5 launch in Malaysia so I ordered one from the Australian Google Play Store. Hopefully I'll be able to play with it soon :laugh:
Any news if n when the Nexus 5 would come into Malaysia or if the Big 3 (Maxis, Celcom, Digi) will be launching with contract?

I want Nexus 5 so bad to the point i'm very tempted to try borderlinx UK google play store, but the ETA is rought mid/late december, so having mix feeling if I should wait till then when there's a chance local stores will have it. >_<

I bought the White 32GB model from AU Play Store + Shipping&Handling + Tax = RM1400
If you buy from the UK Play Store, just the 16GB model not inclusive of Shipping&Handling and not inclusive of tax = RM1700
So it's better to buy from the AU Play Store in my opinion.

I managed to get my friend in Australia to order me a black 32gb Nexus 5 few days back and it said it will be delivered mid of Dec. I notice the order was through Google Singapore. It felt so strange as the goods goes 1/2 of the world to reach my hand. But it was just 800km from Penang to Singapore. I'm now laughing stock my friend in Australia now. Hahaha...

You have to use an Australian VPN Service to be able to order from the AU Play Store and u must also have a credit card with an Australian address linked to your Google Wallet. It's a long and tedious process. Google around for it.

You bought from US play store? You do know that LTE won't work if you buy from the US right?

You have to have an Australian address to buy from the AU Play Store which means you have to ship the phone to your friend's house and then he/she will have to post it to you in Malaysia. Be warned, your device might be stuck in customs. To avoid that, have your friend send the phone to you as a gift and mark the retail price as AUD100. I usually buy phones from China and this is my way of escaping customs.

Nice one man! How much did it cost you to buy the Nexus 5 32GB + S&H + tax ?
