So,what are the off contract prices for the galaxy nexus( in other country's)
in The Netherlands.
it will be released in December(late in my eyes) and for advice price of 649 euros!
really expensive in my eye's.
thats:
887,57 dollar.
564,76 British pound.
so im looking into a solution to import it for a cheaper price than the dutch version.
we use GSM here and that means the HSPA+ version if im right.
Pricing list:
The Netherlands- 649 Eur-887,57 USD-564,76 GBP
belsimpel.nl- 599 Eur-827,04 USD- 524,13 GBP [32GB]
MOBICITY- 605,50 Eur-810,18 USD-520,69 GBP [Pre-ORDER]
British retailer Clove-588,38 Eur-813,61 USD-514.80 GBP [16GB]
handtec.co.uk-575,99 Eur-795,27 USD-503.99 GBP [16GB]
Italy-599 Eur-828,30 USD-524,10 GBP [16GB]
T-Mobile-469,34 Eur- 649 USD-410,65 GBP[unlocked 32GB][Source unknown,not 100% accurate]
No prices announced yet in the US that I am aware of.
i've seen some news says that 299 USD with 2 years contract although not yet know how much need to pay every month
personal idea , retail price is usually double or triple of contract price
and pre-order price of MOBICITY is 799 USD...
let's make simple guess
i9100 dual-core 4.3" screen without contract = 549 euros in Spain
and i9250 is better (bigger screen...etc)than i9100 , i think it costs over 700 euros at least...
and new release model is always much expensive than usual ... maybe over 900 euros in the first few weeks

Usually when the price is as high as 800 its probably due to the LTE. But maybe a little less for the GSM version =]

LTE , you mean 4G ?
just have a stupid question , how good or useful it is ?
how much area have covered with 4G ... ?
and what's good for ?
3G's speed is more than enough...
also 3G connection already been battery killer ... how about 4G ?
I really hope Tmobile sells it subsidized. It'd be foolish not to if Google/Samsung wants to get this device into people's hands.
My guess is that it will be similar to the nexus s
As far as lte..i agree...but this will probably be around..600 for the off-contract lte for gsm...around 500

it's going to be sold on best buy as usual
so you can only get discount if you sign contracts for X amount of years

Right. That is to say, if eligible, you can extend your already existing contract for two years with Tmobile and get the device at subsidized price, correct?
Did they do this for Nexus S?

is LTE for GSM or HPDA+??
cuz im in holland and we use GSM. but i download with 3G and HSPDA(H icons when DLing) sooo...
nice answer would be handy ^^
I can get this for around $260, is that a decent price?
is it a price you're happy with, how does it compare to other devices?
There are lots of countries such as Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Singapore, as well as the United States that use $ so depends which one you are in too.
Yeah, which model and which currency? New? Used? If it's a new P6800 model and USD $260 then that is a ****in' excellent price. But, more details are needed.
Sorry, probably should mentioned I'm in the US. This model is the Verizon 4g model.
I paid $225 for a sch-i815 off ebay for a used one with scratches.

Why such a difference between the i815 and P6800? Is it because one is GSM? Also, can the i815 be used as a phone, or is it tablet only?
I bought mine through Verizon for the same price and it was "used" but literally brand new with plastic and not a mark on it. Totally a steal man.

P6800 is universal and can be used internationally across various carriers using their SIM cards. i815 can only be used on Verizon network. So it limits you immensely. Besides you can't use firmwares directly released by Samsung on their website. That limits you further because you are on the mercy of Verizon.
However in the USA, you don't have major carriers (except AT&T) on GSM.
One major problem is: If you buy P6800, there is no warranty from Samsung USA.

i think that is goooood price

Do you have to buy from an "authorized dealer" for Samsung to cover the phone for the warranty?

Samsung doesn't really warranty unlocked phones sold in the U.S. as they aren't really meant for U.S. retail sale.
Your best bet is just buying one outright from your carrier, Best Buy (for their warranty), or putting it on your home owner's insurance policy. You can even buy 3rd party insurance like SquareTrade.

This came up in another thread and my personal thoughts about Expansys is to wait a bit until they get their information about what they will send and when they will send it more correct. They have failed to reply to my Email (over 4 days now) about verifying the exact model #s and capabilities of the S4s they are going to sell. Do what you want, but I'm going to buy from an authorized dealer (AT&T, Best Buys, Radio shack, etc...). There are reputable dealers that use Amazon (and I presume Ebay) but I'm not going to take a chance with this kind of money.
Close to launch day, and still no news about availibility on Amazon!

So if you buy from Bestbuy unlocked phone, the warranty is from Best Buy and not Samsung? I believe this will come from third party companies, much like Best Buy extended warranty.
Now I'm curious, if I buy from Bestbuy using my American Express card, will I get the extended warranty from American Express?
S4 begin to be available in France, but still no news from Amazon :crying:
Amazon Germany is clueless as always with mobile releases.....
Not always! I had the HTC One before everyone in France ordered on amazon.de
Did someone receive the S4 from Amazon europe?
can someone tell me where can i find the phone in uk online or in stores near london without being in a monthly contract. its out of stock everywhere
I canceled my order on Amazon and purchased the phone directly from the Samsung Mobile Store in Paris, why should I wait when a physical shop had it available nearby ? Amazon just weren't fast enough to my tastes.
Phone is now "in stock" in Amazon.fr
Hi guys,
I stay in the UK and it seems the Nexus 5 is quite a lot more expensive than it is in the US.
The 16GB model in the US costs USD 349 and that should translate base on exchange rates to be GBP 235. However it costs GBP 299 in the UK Play Store. That is 64 pounds more!
Do you think it would be wise to order it in the US and then get it shipped over to my UK address? Potentially how much would I save if any at all? Not in a complete rush to get the phone.
Thank you!
You will probably be ended up paying for cause if you import from us you will face import duty fees

$299 does not include the different sales tax that states have to pay which can vary, the UK price does include the VAT which we pay @ 20% so £299 - 20% = £239
Don't complain. I paid 700$ just for the 16 GB model in my country and delivery in december. Im happy anyway.
price in US not include taxes thats why seems lower
Add Tax from each different state in America. Plus import duties at the border. You probably pay even more Tbh.

Without VAT: £299 / 1.2 = roughly £249
249GBP is roughly 399USD
So we still pay a premium, but it's not AS bad. (£280 for the nexus 4 was obviously fairer though).
Hi
I'm planning to purchase US version of nexus 5 from playstore because it is much cheaper than the international one
But what stopping me right now is that it doesn't support 1800 MHz LTE (Band 3), so for me it will be only on HSDPA+
If I flash the modem firmware of the international version to US one, Does it enable the international bands?
I'm supposed that the 2 models share the same internal.

Was wondering about this also, i ordered a 32GB N5 from the US through a friend but it supports different LTE bands. If i had the phone i would certainly try to flash the radio and let you know.
According to leaked manual (that for D820 international one) The chip that handle LTE bands are: WTR1605L (Qualcomm) which support 7 bands
What I thought, is that google did choose 7 bands for US , and another 7 for the rest of the world:
LG-D820 (North American Model): LTE bands 2/4/5/17/25/26/41
LG-D821 (International Model): LTE bands 1/3/5/7/8/20/41
But the question, is that a change on a system level or at hardware level?

I think its a hardware level and the bands are predetermined cause the Google factory images are the same afaik. So changing LTE bands support is probably not possible.
If this was possible Google would just have one model. The fact that they had to split phones to cover most of the world is obviously a hardware limitation.

Chipset problems
Nexus 4 Transceiver chipset is Qualcom WTR1605L, same as Nexus 5 and it still DID NOT support all LTE bands.
Apparently you need PAs (Power Amplifiers) for certain bands accompanied with modems too. This shall increase battery consumption in return, this is why Google couldn't support all LTE bands on their D820 editions.
The Avago ACPM-7251 chipset is the PA of the Nexus 4, supported two UCMTS/LTE bands 1 & 5 - this is how some users were able to flash Nexus 4 devices and lock on LTE bands in Canada - and It totally depends on the PA of the D820, which we still don't know what it's going to be.
Please check the tear-down of the Nexus 4.
Conclusion: It's a hardware problem and CAN NOT be simply fixed by flashing the ROM; but we still have to wait and see the new PA of the device.

Slightly off topic, but how is it cheaper? You'll have to pay import tax on the US one if you ship it internationally, so it ends up more expensive...?
Seems you're making it a lot harder for yourself. Just buy the right one for your region as it'll cost the same and you'll have a valid warranty.

Not quite true, a 16GB N5 costs 399 euro`s in the Netherlands and i ordered a US 32GB model by a friend wich will cost me 370 euro`s total including shipping.
But you've only achieved that price by evading import tax into the EU by going via your friend.

Actually, I always purchase devices from US playstore shipping to Delaware (no tax from online stores when shipping to this state) and using a forwarding shipment (about 14$/KG) to ship it to my country
So, in case of nexus 5 (32GB) the cost will be = 399$ + (shipping to delaware) + 14$ (shipping to Saudi Arabia) = 425$ (about 267 British pound or 314 euro)
UK playstore = 339 GBP (including £58.16 VAT) + £10 shipping + 14$ shipping to KSA = 358£ (573$) (418 euro)
573$-425$= Saving 148$ when purchasing from US
Now, if I could refund the VAT (since I'm not from UK) the difference in cost between UK & US = 148$ - (£58.16) 93$ = 55$
Not that much but I don't know how to refund VAT

Our local post made some agreement with a US shipping company (iparcel) so it can forward the parcels from USA to KSA as a middle company, unfortunately it will apply only to the local people who have a valid home address, they are very slow by the way but cheaper than any other alternatives.

Here in Israel the N5 16gb (D821) costs $800... LTE is a pipe dream anyhow due to fights between the carriers and Min. of Communications over band allocation... With tax and shipping to NYC its $390... I think I'm OK with evading the import tax $125 (35%) and $275 premium for a two year warranty? for a new phone which I generally get every year... by ordering and sending it with my sister who comes next month...

Thats correct, no Euro LTE (D821) on a US device (D820) The only common band on both devices is Band 5 which isn`t used in Europe afaik.
