Amazon and eBay are great places to purchase devices online. The Google Nexus 4 is one option: http://www.google.com/nexus/4/

The international one, because it will get software updates faster, no at&t bloatware, and you don't live in an LTE area so there shouldn't be a differencr

Ebay with worldwide shipping?

http://m.ebay.com/Pages/ViewItem.as...x364&sv=nexus 7 32 gb 3g&emvcc=0&nbcol=0|null
How about the international shipping price?
Sent from my LG-P350 using xda app-developers app

Just look at various shipping carriers and see how much it will cost to ship - it's going to be the same no matter if you get it on eBay or if a friend sends it.
I sent an iPod to Russia and the flat-rate box was the best deal and it cost me $15 - not sure if you're looking at the same thing from North America. The box was the size of a VHS tape, so it wouldn't fit any original packaging in it - that would cost more.

Cost of phone
What is the cost of samsung galaxy s3 in us?i hope it is low than india..if i m right...i have samsung wave but it is a bad phone to carry on with..i m planning to sell it but i m not getting proper price....plss reply regarding the price...and is there any cheapers means to get mobiles in us??

You could buy a used phone from the USA or otherwise - and have it shipped. The only problem is, of course, shipping costs - it's best if you do your own research to be able to suggest the best way to the seller if they don't have experience. It can be really, really expensive to send non-flat-rate boxes. I sent a package to Japan flat-rate for $16, but a woman who wanted to send a blanket to her daughter in the same country was going to have to pay ~$75 (so she decided to just send her daughter money and have her buy one there).
The S3 is something like $600USD new, I think. You can get it for less used, of course.

Galaxy Note 3 Korean Users Thread

Just picked up the Galaxy Note 3 here in Korea. I am on the KT Olleh network and so far it is awesome! I also have the Note 2 which I just upgraded from, so this phone did impress me a bit. It is hard to find info on here for the Korean variant so I am creating a thread for us
NEW!!! Universal Root de la Vega is up! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46818375
I HAVE ROOTED WITHOUT TRIPPING THE KNOX.. WILL KEEP YOU UPDATED. IF YOU HAVE A KOREAN NOTE 3 PLEASE SHARE YOUR TIPS AND TRICKS!
THREAD CLOSED Root de la Vega KNOX 0x0 Root - Lots of Versions - No Exynos By @designgears & @Chainfire A BIG THANK YOU!
Can you please add our variant to the list? I am new so I cannot post to that thread for some reason.
AP: N900KKKUBMJ5
CP: N900KKKUBMJ5
CSC: N900KKTTBMJ5
Carrier: KT Olleh

Why is it so difficult to buy one here in Korea? I have been seeing the note 3 for sale at the kiosks but no dice on buy the device without a contract. I have the cash in the bank. I already have a contract with olleh. How come I can not just buy a device and swap sim cards here? I trying not to rant but I am on day seven on trying to find a vendor that would sell.

I don't know! They are crazy here.. I had to pay the remaining balance for the actual device I had on my last contract and also deactivate an old prepaid sim I purchase a few months ago on my account. Then get this one on a new contract... was a bit frustrating. But it was worth it. By the way one company told me $1200 for the phone without a contract. I found one for like $950.

The price without contract and unlocked is as follows:
32 GB Black/White: $399.00
16 GB Black/White: $349.00
It is also available with a 2 year contract with Sprint.

Sprint price is somewhat more expensive. I wouldn't.

Is actually $150 after $50 MIR, unless you're a new costumer and port your number from another carrier.

Oh when I checked out the website I went on as a new customer. That must be why it said it was only 50.

Check first if the US model will work with your phone provider in your country. Concerning 4g/lte in particular, US lte frequencies are not the same than elsewhere.

Lte frequencies are not the same in us and worldwide. If you don't need lte in Jordan no problem. Else check your local operator lte frequencies to see if you'll be able to use an American nexus version here.
All phones have American and worldwide version at least (and often Chinese and Asian specific version) as frequencies are not the same around the world.
