It's not up for sale yet. But you can use an international credit card to pay for it. To get it shipped, you'll have to get someone to ship it to you.

friends, relatives, etc. those are your best bet. third party stores are gonna charge you extra on both device and shipping.

Or you could always wait for "water" products (imported) from the small stores. I was in Hong Kong this summer, the Nexus 7 2013 only took like 1 week from when it was on sale at the US play store. The typical price was around $2200 HKD for the 16 GB version, about a $400 HKD premuim. It'll probably cost that much paying double shipping by using comgateway.com or other mail forwarding service.
It will not cost sgd80 for forwarder...

im also from hk.. i think you should wait until it comes to hk.. the nexus 4 came in december costed 4k hkd which is good enough...
I live in Singapore where anything is subjected to a hike of around 30%-50%. The nexus 4 is sold here at sgd600+ at large retail stores... gpu can cost SGD 300 more

Actually, for Hong Kong users, it might be a really bad idea to buy from the US play store if any of you are planning to use it for 4G services. According to the LTE band thread, the UK version is a much better choice, mainly in that the US (D820) version of the phone will NOT work with 4G services in Hong Kong. Wikipedia says that the Hong Kong networks use bands 3,7, 40, the US version do not support any of these frequency bands, whereas the UK (D821) version supports bands 3 and 7.

Price should convert straight into pounds unless your bank adds a fee. But you will have to pay quite a bit for privately shipping the device and you may also have to pay customs which could set you back a fair bit.
I paid £288 and then my bank charged about £8-9 conversion fee i chose for my bank to convert the currency instead of paypal don't know if it works out cheaper but my guess is it is cheaper.

Paypal for my orders abroad have always done the conversion for free. But when paying £288 already, an extra 10 quid or so isnt a big deal I guess.

Hi, can anybody please tell me how much is the Nexus 5 in Germany? I don't have the play store available in Romania and I'm trying to find another country that sells the Nexus 5 more closer to the price in USA. UK price is a bit high and I was wondering what the price may be in Germany. If someone could help me I would deeply appreciate it. :fingers-crossed:

Vlad where did u order phone now?
Got same problems here with ordering from Slovenia
or Croatia. I don't have time to wait for Expansys
It's an habit now for companies to just convert dollar prices in Euro without considering the change rate between currencies. So official play store prices are 'the same' in U.S. dollar and Euro.
Third parties sellers are free to sell it at any price. Usually high prices.

Tax isn't included in $ prices.
So they don't convert 1$ = 1€, but 1$ excl. tax = 1€ incl. tax. That's not as bad.

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 100% assure you that nothing takes THAT long to ship and the proof is the guy I've also quoted, although 3 days seems a little fast (maybe express shipping or something? ) Maybe there's a warehouse in Hong Kong or something. Who knows?

I don't know why it came from HK. I bought it the day it became available. Like you said, maybe a warehouse ... but the math speaks for itself...
HK > KR (Incheon) - 4 hrs
Incheon > my house - 1.5 hrs
Add some time for lunch breaks, customs, etc..
I was actually a little surprised it took 3 days. HK and KR are small and deliveries in both places usually take only a few hours from the time of dispatch to get to the intended location. If the item is in stock and it doesn't show up by the next afternoon people start to call.
PS.. Shipping was free

You can get them. This discussion is about how and how quickly. Osan AB and most posts in Korea aren't really "Korea". If you've lived on one you'll understand that.
Samsung, what does that have anything to do with Nexus 5?
And Google is, the last time I checked, an American company.
So China got the iPhone first? Because most of it is made by Foxconn.
Yes, LGE is a Korean company but I think you don't understand the way global trade works.
To the OP, try through the Korean Play store first. I have a Korean bank account and cc so it was easy for me. If not try connecting to Play via a VPN. See if you can have it delivered to an APO FPO or DPO.

I live in Korea. I bought mine from the Korean Play store. I used my Korean CC. It was delivered to my home in Korea.
So to answer the question, where do you get a Nexus 5 in Korea?
The Korean Play Store.
When you live on Osan AB or any other post in Korea, you don't actually live in Korea. You live in US territory. The Korean Play store only ships to Korea.
You will probably not find it at a KT, SKT or LGE store for the same reasons you don't find Samsung in an Apple store. Granted it's manufactured by LGE, it is a Google phone.

Hi,
I'm going to be in China from now and until October and I really want to buy a 1+1, but don't have an invitation.
My question is where I can find this phone on the streets and how much will it cost there?
(I'll be at Shantou, Hong Kong, Guilin, Chengdu and Beijing).
Tnx for the help!
Couldn't you just buy the Chinese OPO online and have it shipped to where you are staying? Since they will ship from China, it won't take too long for it to arrive where you're staying?

If you're already in China I don't think you have to pay for customs? I could be wrong as I'm not familiar with China. I would assume a Chinese phone shop could have them in stock or various carrier mobile stores.
