Hi! I'm new on xda and I have a very important question.
I want to buy TOPAZ in Australia (by eBay) and I'm wondering if it will be working properly in Europe (Poland exactly).
Price is the main reason.
If you can, tell me also where you can buy (which country) cheapest, brand new TOPAZ
Peace!
i'm in Australia and bought mine from the UK as it was available there, but not here, and also it was cheaper there than would have been here (under AUD$800)
The UK version of the phone works just fine in Australia, so as long as Poland uses any of the frequency bands the Diamond2 supports, it'll be just fine.
i think that for me is cheaper to buy in Australia than in UK because of my currency. for 1 pound I must pay 5.3 polish zloty (PLN) and for 1 australian dollar only 2.6 PLN...if I want to buy in UK it should cost about 300pounds...do you know any good, trusted eshops?
Clove.co.uk is very trustable...
got mine from ebay:
cc-electronicshk
under $700AUD delivered including an 8gb memory card!!!
bewdiful mate
I've searched on ebay some fine offers and I think that Australian Dollar is the best option about price. However it's making another problem. CC Electronics doesn't ship to Europe...
For anyone who cares the Nexus 5 is officially out in Hong Kong. Its being sold by LG, rather than Google. Price is around HK$3,800 - 3,900 depending on where you buy it. Big name retailers such as Broadway are selling it. Only the 16GB model is presently available.

Why is it HK always gets the low storage. First note 3, now this! Infuriating!!
Nice! I'm in Hong Kong right now, considering this (my Google Play order wont ship until November 8). Do you know if the International version will work on US networks and LTE bands, specifically T-Mobile?

no. LTE wont work in North Americia. But 3G will work of course.
Damn. I had a feeling LTE wouldn't but was holding out hope. Oh well, guess I'll have to play the patience game some more..
Hond Kong LTE use band 3, and the US version of Nexus does not support that.
But does anyone know on the UMTS 2100, is HSPA supported by the NEXUS 5?
wonder when nexus 5 32 gb will release in hong kong.. right now for that price its still a steal!
heard from wilson guy that around nov 20 there will be google play order available in hk, with price around HKD3200..
dont yell at me how ridiculous this may be.. im just repeating their words..
is this really possible (that google play order is coming to hk)?

HK Google Play store would be a very welcome development.
I think I am probably going to wait it out for around a month or two and hopefully the N5 price is drop a bit or at least a 32GB model will make its way to HK, otherwise seems the Oz store has the best value at the moment.
Fortress
Dear All,
I was at Fortress MK (MK New Century Mall) and they are selling it for $3,880.00. The guy says ONLY 16GB and I asked about 32GB and he said no. I don't believe him since he had to check 5 minutes to give me a price on the N5. Late Nov. HK PlayStore have it? I highly doubt it. I'm waiting till close to Christmas to buy it as the price will go down and retailers will have discounts.
if u go to "smaller" shops in mongkok/wanchai etc. the price is now in the range of 3700+..
Make sure..

Yes, parallel import will be cheaper in price but watch for what you get. Remember, US version (D820) won't work in HK for LTE. We have (D821) which is international version to work for Asia. I would stay with Fortress, Broadway etc. to be safe.

As long as the smaller shop confirms its HK stock and you can get local warranty through LG I don't see an issue buying through them.
Remember the D821 is also being sold in Australia where the price is actually quite comparable to the North American prices. But you won't get local LG warranty if you get that.
Was at Broadway Shatin on Friday, asked if 32gb was available, sales said usually Hong Kong only get one version.
Agreed that it is expensive to buy from them, if really available through Play Store at end of November then Ill be one of the first to buy from there!
Was just in WCC.
Asked two shops for price, one said HK$4.2k the other said HK$3.9k!!!!! Local stock.
Wasn't going to buy and was in a bit of a hurry so didn't ask around too many places or try and negotiate for price.

Hi, do you know or something leak about the pre-order in Europe ? In Germany and Belgium it's still showing that "this device isn't available in this country" ..

699 Euro on Amazon Italy:
http://www.amazon.it/Motorola-Google-Nexus-Smartphone-Italia/dp/B00OLSTJR2/
Same in France, however one of the three big operators, Bouygues, has posted on its Facebook page a few days ago that it will carry the phone. When asked by the press about the dates, they said from "around" mid November while the other two operators said that they won't be carrying the phone.
If I'm to speculate, I'd say that the uncertainty regarding either the release or the price is due to negotiations Google possibly started late with each European country's operators. It seems to me and it's mostly a wish, that the price supposedly leaked earlier this month from the inventory of a German store is more plausible; that honest €569. If so, then that's great and much better than the other speculated €649.
Anyone got any news about availability on the UK
Just this at the moment.

OP3T is due to go on sale from tomorrow for the UK and I think Europe.
What time will Oneplus make them available on the website? Is it midnight or later on? (need to decide whether to get up just after midnight and order!)

I already got mine from spot sale in Helsinki on November 22, but I am still eager to see how well is EU stock prepared/ready for demand. I believe it will sell out faster in EU, since the hype has not calmed down and 3T is a monster of a phone :good:

128GB version - also had a text message from DHL saying it will be delivered on the 1st Dec.
Hmm looks like they are starting off with the 128gb versions first. A few other people that have the 128gb said they are getting emails now too. I'm hoping my 64gb version is not too far behind!
ordered a 128gb @ 1:01:00 (first minute) and had a high five mail this afternoon. it's shipped .

i returned my op3 last week and also had the refund today #happy
128gb uk ordered about 12:04 and it was dispatched this afternoon, free delivery so expected Thursday.

Hi mate. I’m in the UK too and ordered it from Giztop. I ordered the 512GB model and it came to roughly £930 with shipping and 2 free gifts - the Aero Cooler and the official case. Pretty expensive but I doubt the phone will actually launch in the UK on 4th September as earlier mentioned so I can’t be bothered to wait another month.
You can also try out Aliexpress or Liaow. Both have it in stock and sometimes there are ones on eBay too.
Cheers.

I'm really curious how much the real global variant is going to cost.
I was considering the 512GB version from giztop and enjoying the global ROM they would load, but I don't mind waiting another few weeks for the official one with a locked bootloader so I can get OTA's and what not.

Can't you still manually flash updates? Global will definitely be expensive going by Rog 1 prices.
Who bought Asus ROG Phone II/Elite version 12GB/512GB from Aliexpress
Hello Everyone,
I'm Thinking to buy this as there is no global version yet here in USA, I was hoping some one might have bought this version.
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000128227373.html?spm=a2g0o.cart.0.0.59e83c00ixRC7Z&mp=1
if anyone have bought this version, can you share the ROM version whether its WW or CN,TW. I know this isn't much of a big deal for some.
any suggestions or screen shots will be helpful.
Also i've consideration to go with Tencent Edition, but wanted to get the highest spec one.
Thanks

I personally think you're crazy if you pay almost double the price for that upgrade. The RAM you won't need and to pay $400 more for the storage is nuts. Get the 128GB version and save yourself some money

You do make sense, but honestly Its not big of deal for me as i bought Note 9 last year for the same price, i have been a sam/apple guy for years. I know 900~1000 $ for a phone sounds ludicrous for many. That's where the high spec phone NA market exists.
The Tencent edition is promising as its 545USD in ebay, but there is a lot of discussions regarding 4G bands not supported, so i was skeptical with thought.
my only confusion is aliexpress selling global version WW(Elite Version) 12GB/512GB or its Chinese Version or other.

According to giztop and many other sources, the 128GB version lacks important LTE bands.
Personally, it's worth it for the storage, but the bands can be very important.
I pre-ordered Tencent version 8gb 128gb from Banggood for 497€. Good price.
giztop is the best
ship very fast 12 days on italy
no taxes
paid with paypal a little bit more but high quality service
They sell the global model (ZS660KL-1A012EU) in some Asus stores like Belgium, Poland, Sweden but they don't send to other countries like Netherlands where i live.

Be careful from the looks of this it looks like the Chinese version with the global version flashed on-top. Why? Because in the specs it has 2x2mimo while the global should be 4x4mimo
