I live in europe, but not in UK. Does anyone have ideas about how I should get my hands on the Nexus S, when it becomes available?
Any thoughts are most welcome
If you can wait, then sign up here: https://services.google.com/fb/forms/nexuss/
If you're in a hurry, then there are a few options:
1. Best Buy + delivery service like http://www.aramex.com/shopandship/default.aspx
2. eBay. Prices are about $730 now, I'd wait a bit.
3. Wait for somebody local to import a load of phones and sell on at higher price.
Carphone warehouse, vodafone contract only tho

I'm afraid but "Best Buy does not ship to known freight forwarders, and orders to such will be canceled."

Please inform us if you will recieve a phone ..
A lot of friends bought iPhone 4 in Apple store in other country and they recieved it via freight forwarders. It would be strange if Nexus S can be bought in this way, because they will only lower their sales.
According to this review, it will be available in EU in February and it will have lower price than Galaxy S i9000:

Also at that time Samsung will unveil i9100..

Huh. Disappointing, and smells of politics
Well, if BB don't want my money, then I will happily take it elsewhere. There might be an initial rush, but come January it will not be difficult to get one online, no matter where you live. Well, perhaps if you're on the ISS.
I think you can use site like MyUSABox (http://www.myusabox.com/), but personally I don't have experience with it. Don't know if anyone can comment about the site

Seems pretty unlikely.
I'm pretty sure they are unable to block credit cards by country.
If your credit card belongs to an established network (Visa or Mastercard for example), the payment should go through smoothly.
I'll be placing an order as soon as the Nexus S is in stock at best-buy.com, I'll keep you guys posted regarding the payment.

I find no mention of warranty anywhere at all at Google, eBay or Best Buy. US warranties tend to be short, so I'd guess a phone sold in Greece would have a longer warranty, but at a higher price.

That will probably never happen. If you could buy loads of stuff somewhere at $530, would you sell them on eBay at the same price?

The Nexus S will ship to NY, a friend of mine will then forward me the parcel to France.

Hello everyone i would be really thankfull if anyone could tell me where will they sell this tablet in boston, im from latin america actually, but got a cousin in boston that will be coming here at the end of the month and as im dieing for this tablet i want to ask him to bring me one, THE PROBLEM is that he doesn't know any physical place where they will sell this tablet
Does anybody know a physical store where they'll sell this tablet?
See this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1045109&p=13148609
I am sure I am going to regret this... but you can tell your cousin that the Micro Center in Cambridge confirmed to me a shipment of the tablets arriving this week.

Looks like I'll have two places to run around to on Tuesday morning xD
I'm hoping the Best Buy that's 5 minutes away from me still has stock
Did you get one of the Best Buys to confirm that they had it? The one I normally go to hadn't heard anything about it as of Friday.

Has any Best Buy confirmed they are selling it in stores? Still don't think that's ever been the plan or been confirmed. I'm still betting on an online release and some tablets in specifically listed retailers.
I called 5 best buys in the Boston area and only one had a person that knew anything about what I was asking and he said they simply dont have it yet and dont know when they will.
i'm trying to just buy the phone outright but i can't ship to the us. never got a phone from canada, is there something i'm doing wrong?

Even though Rogers will sell the phone outright, it will still be carrier locked to Rogers and you will need to be a customer of theirs.
Best thing to do would be to arrange a private sale from someone who is a customer and can grab units.
Best of luck,

So basically wait until one shows up on eBay...
Thank you for the answer.
Unless you know someone in Canada

If you know someone in Canada, you could have Rogers ship to them, and then they could ship to you. If I knew you, I'd buy it and ship it through our company's UPS account.
There's "gotta" be a way.

I don't know if HTC's like Samsung but they won't repair a carrier phone that's still under warranty. They direct you back to the carrier. That could be a big problem if your Rogers phone breaks and you're not a customer. Something to check out before pulling the trigger.

true, but for 10 bucks a month it's cheap. i can seriously take a phone with black tie outside the building, smash it on the ground, and walk back in to get another one. very useful for, say, a bricked phone. i'm friends with the workers up there, they said a guy with an iphone literally does this once a month just to have a clean screen...
believe me, i don't understand, but like said, cheap and great!

I was thinking SN Traders as they are a Canadian company but it seems they only have the intl version. I used to buy unlocked Rogers phones from them.

How used can it really be? The phone isn't even out. Engineering build, maybe. Someone here should have snapped that up to see if it was S-OFF.

I believe it is similar to the protype that an Xda member already had in their possession so any important was already passed onto the devs.

Oh wow that's horrible! There have been users here that somehow get it shipped to a courier in a different country then shipped to them. Hopefully one can help you in your situation. I didn't know about the whole situation with Google in China. Best of luck to you!

I live in Shanghai and bought a US version 32GB for 3,000 RMB. I am aware that I won't be able to use LTE in the future, but I wasn't prepared to go for a HK version for near enough the same price and only 16GB.
I bought online from Taobao - http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10.5.w4002-1856930535.34.1QlftW&id=35735211682 - A reputable seller who throws in a lot of freebies like screen protector, case, extra usb cable etc.
You will need a Chinese bank card to use though.
Otherwise I'm sure there are camera markets in Guangzhou where you can buy imported versions.

I've checked on that site before, but was looking for a physical store in Guangzhou City to go to! Hopefully there's a Hong Kong / ROW version because LTE is on 1800mhz here in New Zealand!
Thank you!
Buy from Japan and get it reshipped through jshoppers Tenso.
Or else wait a few days, Google Play HK is rumoured very very soon. Prices will be around HK$3.2k for 16GB and HK$3.6k for 32GB.
Hi guys
Where would you get this phone from for a person living in the UK?
I've been looking at eBay but they seem to be sold out or priced too highly?

I got mine (Gundam) from liaow. They're not the cheapest but reliable and great service.
Did you have to pay tax on top of the final price?
No - I'm in Canada.
I've gone for https://www.cect-shop.com/en/home
Hopefully I won't be disappointed.
I got mine on eBay didn't have to pay any taxes I'm UK aswell
