First of all, I'm new in the site(first thread) and i am an iPhone user so sorry for questions that maybe stupid for you guys.
I live in Israel, we run GSM here and after being with the iPhone 3 and 4 I've decided that i want to try android.
I played with my friend's android and it's great so i thought why not?
the thing is that my mom goes to a business trip to Boston from the 20 to the 25 of November and because it will take ages for the GN to come to Israel i want her to buy it for me there.
i read here that at first it will come to Verizon(bad for me)
do you think that retail stores will sale it without a contract at the release date?(GSM)?
plus, i know that US sells locked phones, and with the iPhone unlocking is always a pain in the ***, how do i unlock an android? or better yet the galaxy nexus?
thank you all!
71 views? i didn't explain myself clear or it's just that you don't have answers yet?
It was just lunched before 2 days. So I don't think you will find an answer yet. At least not before November I guess.

k i'll wait.
from your experience, how long does it take for an android to get unlocked?
Weren't the last two Nexus phones carrier unlocked?
i have no idea...
i know that the s2 for example had to be unlocked(if you bought it from US)
nexus phones were bootlocked, but not sim locked. Google fastboot oem unlock for good info. unlocking is easy.
I would bet big money there will be a gsm version that works fine in your country.
Just check this forum everyday, all the info will be here.
okay happy to hear it!
I'm sure too that a GSM version will come up the only problem is that i need it to be till the 25 of November and in stock:/
thank you all for your help
Well Google seems to indicate that Israel's GSM frequency bands are 900/1800, and the Galaxy Nexus supports 850/900/1800/1900, so yes, you should be fine.
just check Clove.co.uk and other sites if ur from EU.
read the thread lol, i'm from israel and i'm gonna buy it from the us

wrong calculation.. itl be 614 with shipping.

How 614 €?
are u takling for your country Netherland...?f
*try with VAT number, i always buy all with some fake VAT number...
Israel is 520 € + 27 € delivery = 547 €
Slovenia 512 € (with EU Vat number) + 20 € delivery = 532 €
My problem is, sell or not to sell GS2 and switch to Nexus just because of ICS

Is clove a good site to get this phone from or is there a better place?
Without contract the best places are expansys - £494, Handtec - £502 and Clove - £514
With a contract the best place is www.mobilephonesdirect.co.uk, you can get the phone on Vodafone or T-Mobile for a very cheap price and it is fully unlocked to all networks.

I get it from clove. Fast delivery and nice tracking too :>
I get it from Inkino in London the price is 519 pounds.
I'd vote for Clove - have used them for years (since the Psion days) and they're nice & friendly. Delivered mine next day.
Did any of you US clove buyers end up paying import duties? If so, how much?
My vote is for Clove also. Just started using them but found them to be quick and reliable.

It's not out in the states yet. I'm sure the TMobile US version will be out by then, and maybe some others, but it's not clear at all when an unlocked GSM version will be available here (there's a recent thread linking to an online store, price of about $800 even, but it's preorder).
Clove (UK online store) offers the unlocked Euro GSM version for a little over $700 dollars, but that's minus the VAT. I don't know if all of Europe would pay VAT or just British.
well, i live in New York, and i bought mine
unlocked for 739.99, i saw it tru ebay
but the store was here in the city so
i went personally to the place and bought it.
u can find some more cheap tru ebay..
maybe arround 700..
oh and btw im using it with T-mobile..
too bad they will only allow Edge on it....
ok ok thank you
would everyone put an expected price for the gsm unlocked desire in US dollars???
just thoughts..
It's all over the web ready for pre-order already. Just go to the usual suspects and check...
Clove
Expansys
Devicewire
If you're not good with currencies, just let Google do the work for you.
htcdirect: £386.95
clove: £387.75
devicewire: £389.95
expansys: £439.99
my question was, which price of them is the confirmed one! lol

Those price include the VAT (VAT are kindda taxes and they only apply for European countries) judging from your flag, you're not in Europe, so if you happen to order, the VAT value will be deducted from the over-all price you mentioned

Last time I checked...around $530 from Handtec
I will wait for black market version, the shop guy pretends he will get it within 2 weeks
As for the price if he's selling the N1 for 750$ right now I think the Desire will cost 650$
BTW ok it costs much less from Clove but you have to add 20% Lebanese customs
Has anything been announced about when LiveView is going on sale in North America? I'd like one but haven't been able to find anything in terms of a release date.

North America, where's that?
SE thinks North America is on another planet where release dates are just figments of people's imaginations.
Seriously though, I'm with you. I'd like to get my hands on one as well but have yet to see it offered anywhere on this side of the pond.
same here, hopefully they get it out before Christmas. And seriously, I just wanna take over SEAmerica, they're slow as hell!
you can order it on the uk amazon. The total is around 89 dollar canadian including shipping

From which seller?
The cheapest one is https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-Erics...534U/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1290524520&sr=8-2 which is £67.97 which works out to $110.
well i found another one on amazon, look for the seller soteluk
this one is 52.37 + 7 = around 60 euro
The seller in the link u have were selling it for 56 euro for a while, i bought mine for that price, the shipping was around 7 euro which work out to be 86 dollars canadian.
i doubt liveview will launch in north america like many other sony ericsson accessories. i mean, most of the time i go on the SE website, i select Hong Kong -English or UK just to keep up to date with the latest electronics.. it's a joke if you ask me.
Here's one for $100. Still a bit much I think.
Getgoods.de has one for some 42 euros + shipping but I don't think they ship outside Europe.

Please, soteluk's Liveview is £52.37 + £29.99 international shipping = $128.
You had my hopes up for a while there...
EDIT: I just got a reply from the getgoods.de customer service; they don't ship outside Europe. ;_;
Hey guys I have an international S3 right now to avoid paying 30/month on ATT and to have real unlimited data.
I paid about 730 or so for my S3, and have noticed the note II on clove is 588 USD after shipping. I have 2 upgrades on my ATT account, and plan on keeping ATT for a long while unless something crazy happens with them. All carriers are about the same in US and I am in the military so I can't go with a carrier that works in the city only.
What I was wondering is should I snag the internaitonal note for 600 bucks (could sell my GS3 for 5 at least) unlocked or should I use an upgrade and get one from ATT?
Another thing I was thinking about (since my wife isn't getting the iphone 5, which frees an upgrade up) is using my 2 upgrades on S3s and selling them on ebay, thoughts?
PS iirc the note was 300 with a new contract right?
Just looked on Clove, and the Note 2 is definitely more than $600 USD. Where are you seeing that price?

It is 444 UK Pound which it is about $712 USD.
i don't think the UK uses the Pound any more. i think they all switched to Euro. i could be wrong, though.

Yes, you're wrong. Euro extends slide against Pound and Dollar
Oops yeah it is in pounds. Regardless. I'd only be paying 200 or so after my S3 got sold, so which would make more sense? Upgrade via ATT and ETF or retail via ATT or retail international?
don't you have to pay VAT too? which is nearly USD856 + shipping + import duty
