I'm not too sure if this have been discussed on the GNex, but from what I've found looking around there doesn't seem to be any mention of importing the phone from canada.
Does anyone know if there's a website that does this? If so should I wait for the canadian release to import it or just give in and order it from expansys?
there's another topic floating around talking about that
the general consensus ends up being it'll cost the same as importing it from the UK
Just wait till the 8th...
ah thanks for the replies. I'm just sitting here debating if i want to put in the order right now or not for expansys. While I'd like to not miss the 2nd batch, I'm also certain that they don't ship through the weekends.
Hmmmm decisions....
It's about the same price as from the UK.
I checked with a Bell store earlier today, and they want $650 plus a month of service ($50) + our 13% tax of course. Ends up being ~$700 + tax. Virgin mobile wants the same thing, but I'm wondering what happens if you go on a pay as you go plan and just not load any minutes onto it. In that case it's still $650 + tax.
Not to mention shipping of course.
Is it possible to buy this phone for 650.00 plus tax and shipping and have it shipped to the USA?

For Canadians looking to have the device on launch day, contact me. My fee is "modest" but it will save you the hassle of arguing with reps, activating lines, credit checks, and cancellation requests through Bell.
Go check OmegaCell they have crazy prices now but once the device launches it will be good. And Bell has repeatedly told me that the phone is sim locked. The two best buys closest to my house both said they won't sell the phone outright.

For those buying the GN from the UK, get it from Handtec.co.uk Their price has consistently been the lowest of the pack unlocked (make sure you look at the regular price, w/o VAT). With tax and shipping (1-4 days FedEx. Got mine in 1 day!) you're paying about 690 which is great, considering the speed at which they deliver.
In addition (not sure if it's the same for other sellers) but handtec gives you a universal phone adapter/surge protector that covers Europe, the US, Japan, Australia, Thailand and the UK. It's not practical for use in the US (I'm using my sensation charger) but you never know when it might come in handy, especially if you travel a lot.
Right now handtec.co.uk and clove.co.uk have the phone for $690. The phone was released yesterday on Bell Canada and is $650 off contract. But im not sure those of us in the states have access to that without a Bell Canada account. Has anyone else found it cheaper?
Newegg 12/13: $699
handtec.co.uk and clove.co.uk have the phone for $690
You're going to pay about the same price no matter who you order from. Even from Canada. Your other priority is who and how your warranty will be handled depending on who you buy from. You found the cheapest already so scratch.if you're itching that bad. I paid a premium to order from expansys in the states. I ended up paying $741 USD.

I got it for 549 euro today, which is around 734 USD.
unfortunately my eagerness to play with new tech doesn't mesh well with premium drop prices. this thing will be $600 new in a months time, not sure i can hold out that long

If it is $650 new in Canada chances are it will be that in USA also. Gotta pay if you wanna play now. Waiting though will probably save close to $100 USD.

The official price in HK is $5698 simlock free
Divide by around 7.8 for USD

The starting price for the unlocked GN2 in the Netherlands is 629 euro`s. Only one price listed so far
It is 440£ from clove.co.uk for the unlocked 16gb. It is where I ordered mine.
That comes out to $715 US. Shipping is pretty reasonable about 16£ ($26) to the US via DHL.
If you wait a bit after it is officially released you will be able to find it slightly cheaper from hk sellers on eBay (grey market versions).. Also, don't let price be your only guide as to where you are buying from, take into account the reliability of the sellers, especially if you are buying from eBay.

Make sure you get a genuine handset and not some import model from who knows where. If a problem should occur you may not have warrantee in the US. Better check that first, because the price looks way to low to me
Full retail on the US cellular pre order page is $799.

I was reading the pre order threads for the S2 and the S3 here on xda and Clove seems to have a good reputation, so I am not worried about receiving a non genuine phone.
However...I should probably clarify a few things since I did mention buying Grey market in my previous post: Ordering out of country always carries risks with warranty. Essentially if you order from a UK, or any dealer outside North America, you can expect not to have a US warranty, or sometimes only a service-only warranty (ie, you pay for the parts). In the case of Clove or Handtec, warranty is usually handled by the vendor company (you ship back to the shop you bought it from, and they ship it to their repair place).
If you order a grey market phone from ebay, though, expect to have no warranty coverage..as it is unlikely the seller will do a warranty return for you. Also beware of sellers who claim their products carry a Samsung "International" warranty.
I bought my SGN1 from a Sin Tat dealer in HK when I was there for a visit earlier this year. The prices there are very good, but it comes with the understanding that there is no returns, and no warranty outside of HK.

This summer right after the 'apple ban' was lifted, no Site Google was pointing towards could ship a GNex. I had to drive around to find a retailer that had one in stock. Eventually I purchased one for €380.-
The other day I noticed a large retailer is asking €519.- with a discount to €429.- right now! Is the GNex getting rare already or what?!

The phone isn't rare. You can get them all over.
Maybe in the USA, but in Europe you can't order online from Google.

You can easily order it from Amazon germany, it's 330€.

In the UK pretty much the only way you can get one is online. Shops stopped selling them about 7/8 months ago.
I bought mine in july for about 375€. At the moment there are some special offers for about 300€. I think this is quite fair for such a good phone.
So..who all are looking to buy this in India? I'm thinking of getting one using Google Play Store and HopShopGo this or the next week, 32GB version should cost about ~350$ by my calculations (270$ + 16.5% Customs + 25$ HopShopGo shipping).
Just as a note, I am not looking into selling or buying for others, just asking for people who are looking to do same as me

hey guys, is $229 for the 16 gig model the before tax or after tax cost of the Nexus 7 in USA ? I just wanted to know the exact price difference in ordering from Ebay vis-a-vis having someone get it from US...
Do you get india warranty when u buy from ebay or amazon?
Hey people, I ordered a nexus 7 16gb wifi only, on 2nd august, and it'd be arriving either tomorrow or day after tomorrow.
There's this seller called TabIndia on eBay.
I got it for 17500/- ($288) which is the cheapest you can get. The seller is trusted, and really nice to talk to. For getting a discount of 1500 (instead of buying it at 19000 through PaisaPay by eBay), you need to deposit the money in his account and he'd send you the tablet.
Of course, it sounds like a Scam, but I did it, and the seller is trustable. He owns a nice shop and you could just check out his eBay Reviews.
you could mail him @ [email protected] if you wish to buy with certain discount.
He was selling 32gb at 20,500 AFAIK.
I'm really worried about screenguard since I don't have any. I ordered XtremeGuard but that'd take like 20 days more to arrive.
Any suggestions for the same? I have a neoprene sleeve which'd work for nexus 7 2 though.
Warranty ?
Am also considering getting one for me from USA as one of my relative is due to arrive next weekend, Can anyone here using NN7 in India tell about Warranty ?
Will we get warranty in India by ASUS ?

Check the contract terms where you buy it. Maybe it got international warranty or just limited.

Its before tax. I bought a 32 GB model from BestBuy. Price came to around $290 ($269 + taxes). I think Amazon doesn't charge any taxes.
I am waiting for it appear in Play Store India so that I can order one for my parents. But considering people are shipping from US, I am thinking of doing the same. Anybody has experience in how I can ship to India after buying from here?

Well if you are in the US, just buy one and send via your trusted parcel service, e. G. DHL, should be not a problem, not sure about Indian import tax tough, I had to pay 7 percent over here.

Ask tax form from seller. When item leave the country, immigration must pay you back to your account.
