I'm from Portugal. What is the best way to have the Nexus 5. Portugal is not a Google Play Devices country. Therefore I need to buy from a retailer, or use a package shipping forwarding service like Borderlinx.
What is the best way? Do you know any decent European retailer that has the Nexus 5, and is charging approximately to what the Play Store does? I tried Handtec.co.uk and Amazon.co.uk, neither have it yet. Any help would be great! Thank you!
(If someone goes onto /r/Android, yes, I did post a comment exactly like this.)
Hey guys,

cheers

It works with Softbank. You'll just have to google the correct APN settings. I'm using mine now which I bought from the US Play Store. The MMS is hit or miss though. Sometimes, I don't get the photos that my friends send me.
Hi all, I want to buy n5 in south korea next week. I want to take it home in Indonesia unlocked, and I read in some websites that said that most of the phones there are contracted in 1-2 years.
so what I want to ask is: do they have place to buy phone freely(without contract) and unlocked(which means I can use it in Indonesia :laugh ?
thanks!
Nexus phones are always unlocked. And you can use Google play to buy the phone "freely".

This is listed in Memphis, USA. Which London are you refering to because there is a London in TN apparrently. Also you need to think of shipping (quoted as 3-5 days). If you mean London UK, you would probably be stung for import duty, and be waiting a few days.
I'm not really sure what you are asking with regards to blocking etc. Try searching on here for note 3 israel and you should find out about the little differences.

Hell yes! If possible buy the Indian version, it comes with pre installed Gapps.
Buy Indian version
I have the indian version as im from India, and its an excellent phone.
Phones from china dont usally have google services installed so i recommend to get it from India, as all services are installed.
Unfortunately I was only able to order Chinese version? I had to go with gearbest... What sucks is they put the Global 845 version up for only 110$ more after I bought the phone. I tried to cancel order but it already shipped.

I'm in the US on T-Mobile (sim1) and att (sim2) no issues although I had to fix apn cuase the auto assigned on did have a couple of settings for my T-Mobile SIM. As for the Google play it's works just fine, just take note it's not certified device so some apks you'll have side load ie Netflix etc. etc.
Vivo account is pretty annoying and so is the default luncher. I switched mine to Nova and got a vivo an account made from the seller I got it from.

Nope. Calls bounce back to 3g service.
