The official price in HK is $5698 simlock free
Divide by around 7.8 for USD
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

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.

Buying Nexus 7 (2013) in India

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

Available on Ebay
The16 gigs model is listed on Ebay already. For 19900/- with free shipping from US. http://www.ebay.in/itm/Google-Nexus...t=IN_iPads_Tablets&hash=item1c3551d6e9&_uhb=1

Dude i have placed a order on Ebay for 32gb four days ago, currently the listing is finish, below is the link, with adding coupon i have it for Rs.21350/-
http://www.ebay.in/itm/Google-Nexus...40308?pt=IN_iPads_Tablets&hash=item1c35210374

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?

Sorry if my wording was not clear. What I meant was this - I am in US now. So, I was wondering if anybody had any experience buying it from US and shipping it to India? Other posters, I believe, were talking about ordering them from India.

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.

[Q] What has been your experience with purchasing unlocked from Amazon?

I've been looking at sellers Quality Deals (out of Taiwan) and SalesTagz (out of NV). Has anyone ordered from them and what are you experience(s)?
TIA!

I have ordered from Quality Deals which was fulfilled by Amazon. I ordered with 2 day shipping and it arrived a 2 days after I ordered it.
I am very satisfied with the phone and the purchase. One note is that currently the Taiwan version can't be boot loader unlocked. Only the Eastern Europian version can be unlocked for now.

It is a Hong Kong company selling it. If it is the version being sold in Hong Kong then it is the WW variant and will work in Europe out of the box.

You could look at this one too, it has the faster processor and more storage. It is the company in Hong Kong that supplied my phone,

It is out of stock unfortunatelly.

Not sure if you know or not, but the black 128gb/6gb version is already up for Pre-order on Asus' UK store for £499. If you try to order though the shipping date says '9th July 2018' which is obviously wrong since it's impossible. Support said it'd be updated Friday but it wasn't, so probably be updated Tuesday at the earliest because of bank holiday, they are apparently waiting on stock confirmation from Asus.

Asus just announced the anniversary version, 12gb ram 512gb storage and only 3,000 units to be made.

The german store says 11.06.2019 or earlier when you preorder it for the 6/64GB black. The 6/128GB black is available for preorder but without a date.

I ordered one from the French ASUS shop this morning. It was shipped out early afternoon with UPS. ASUS uses a German distributor (Arvato) and my unit was shipped from the Netherlands.

With the exception of UK I'm pretty sure all the EU ASUS e-stores are fulfilled by athe same distributor based in Germany which explain why all EU ASUS stores are now beginning to ship.
As usual, just the UK in the sh*t.

I don't know if they ship to the UK but Amazon Germany has the 6GB RAM 128GB ROM black version for pre-order with release date 10th of June
