What about australia?

Anyone know if this phone is getting released in Australia?
I've asked a few main carriers and they haven't even heard of the phone,looked for release dates nothing! if its not being released in Australia then I think that will turn me off android for good, if Google cannot supply their phone to all country's then they have lost the battle to Apple IMO, just hope they pull there finger out and do something about it.

You could do that, or like me import from the US, especially good if you have a relative/friend over there, but comGateway seems to be a viable option. Mine cost just under $600 Aussie including shipping. That said if you have problems, you have to pay for shipping back to the US, where as Mobicity is just Australia etc.
Go outright no contracts, no worries! Skip carriers all-together I think when Voda had the N1 they changed it a bit as well so updates were slightly delayed

Nexus s doesn't support telstra next g network.

Your best bet is to ask a member that's located in Canada.

Last time I checked, I didnt see any postings.
It is kinda annoying to wait until somebody post one up to purchase one.

Negri Electronics or GSM Nation have it unlocked with the new codes released yesterday. 621 CAD(549.99 plus the crazy taxation that funds their universal healthcare) is roughly around 637 USD as of today. From my experience, you can roughly get it for 640 something after googling coupon codes and google checkout with Negri. In a way it's cheaper since you don't have to pay for the unlock code. Your next best option would be to visit our friendly neighbors to the North and buy from a Bell store, then try to get a tax refund at the border. However unless you live near the US border, I'm pretty sure, traveling to Canada would offset any savings you could get by buying in person.

I wish I was close to Canada. I live in SC so it is a lil bit of a drive
Wow $640 is way too much for that phone. I love and everything but that price is pretty absurd.

It's a very strange sensation (pun intended) reading about americans coming up North to buy something up here.
It's always the other way around. Not available in canada, no shipping to Canada, this COMEDY CENTRAL video is not available for you peasants.
Canadians going down to the states to avoid tax, buy cheaper products, etc. I could go on and on.
Why can't americans buy it from their own stores down there, I thought it was out there earlier than Bell released it up here?

Haha, it's opposite land. Canada has been improving in getting cellphones in a timely manner, especially with the XPERIA series. The iPhone 4 came unlocked here, Nexus S, etc...
Anyways, you'd be correct, the Americans got the Sensation before we did but they got the 1700mhz version for T-Mobile. This is the same frequencies that Wind and Mobilicity use here. Unfortunately, Rogers/Bell/Telus (at AT&T in the States) doesn't operate at 1700mhz and instead operate on 850mhz/1900mhz, which is what the Bell Sensation was released at.

S4 cost might be lowered after Google IO?

Google announced that they will be selling the stock version of S4 LTE version for £427 ($649) on Google play. Currently the lowest cost sim-free S4 in the UK is £500+. I personally think that the price will drop soon. I am sure it will be a good news for everyone

Not in the U.S.A. it won't.

If we paid US prices on the UK then nearly all of our Sim free phones would be cheaper. This would retail for £499 of it comes to the UK

You're forgetting taxes, and also VAT for the uk
£427 + 20% VAT = £512.40
Though I wouldn't be surprised if it was more than this as stuff in the UK is rarely the exact figure as the US price + vat

Taxes always make UK prices more expensive. It's why we're called rip-off britain.
Consider the 8gb Nexus 4, a phone sold on the same website as the 'nexus' s4
US Price = $299, which converts to £196
But the 8gb nexus 4 costs £239 here, a 22% increase
So a realistic price for the S4 would be 427x1.22 = £521
Trust me, stuff is always more expensive here, and never the direct currency conversion

Having lived in Australia and Canada I can tell you this country is going to the dogs, its just a shame they're so tight on immigration!
Australian nexus 4 is 20$ more in Australia, I was earning 25$ an hour working in GAP... We get raped in the UK

The price of S4 (LTE) version has dropped to £450 now on amazon. High five for a good prediction! ...no one? ok

For people getting a subsidized phone from a carrier the price for a TW-less SGS4 on Play is pretty much irrelevant. And the masses like "stuff" and the lack of TW won't be perceived as a benefit so if the prices between a Play SGS4 and unlocked SGS4 are close the standard SGS4 will win. When the GN was the same price as the SGS2/3 Samsung only sold 750K of them and it was available subsidized on quite a few carriers. So it’s doubtful that the Play price, which Samsung likely controls (it’s not a Nexus phone), will influence Samsung’s pricing strategy.

Purchased mate 7 32gb from ebay seller

Hi has anyone purchased a mate 7
32gb MT7-TL10 from a seller called sanho2013 ?
I purchased from them and there taking ages to deliver my phone.
He said 4-5 days delivery which states from UK but his account location is hongkong. Either way I wasn't bothered aslong as I get my device. Well I purchased last week on Monday and thursday 27th he sent me royal mail tracking. I've tracked it since Thursday and also rang royal mail as it just says tracking will update when we receive the item. Royal mail said they waiting for the item N that we have the job information like my address but the seller still.hasn't give it to them.
I contacted the seller many times he just said royal mail has got it on 26th which is wrong with estimated delivery 31st-2nd which is different to his original delivery date the 30th. But my argument is royal mail.don't even have it yet so he.is ovsly talking crap to me.
I was just woundering if anyone has experienced this ebay seller before. I did reasearch on his account before I purchased and he had a few thousand positive feedback.
I just don't understand how a £389 device hasn't been delivered to.me after a week and half.

If you order oversea it will take at least 10 days maybe two weeks.

^ seller is shipping from abroad (HongKong) & RoyalMail not got it yet.

The tracking updated last night it is out for delivery. Wish sellers was mote truthfull. It's a lot of money to part with. The sale stated no tax sent from UK.

Perhaps he uses triangle shipping from HK to UK then to you.
If so then you wont have taxes to pay, the phone may not be international version though??

And yes he must use something like that. I dont mind where its from as long as it works on my ee in UK and delivery is correct not 3 days late when they say royal mail has it when they dont
Sent from my HTC Wildfire S A510e using XDA Free mobile app

Yes exactly what he does, hongkong to third party in UK as gift or low value so no tax, then on to you.

Finally received my mate 7. What a beast it even had UK charger inside so I'm guessing its the phone is for the UK as was manufacture sealed. Only problem I found was a little dent in the top left hand corner of the bezel. Not too happy about it but not a lot I can do but will contact the seller.

I had the same situation. From a different seller tho. Chinese people have the same tactics.
Try and cancel it, ill tell you where you can get gold mate 7 in a sealed box with eu lte bands with next day delivery for £360
Edit: just read all the comments. I guess im a little bit too late

Haha yeah little late. They ovsly making some money dodging taxs.
£360 is a good price tho I could only find 1 for 389 apart from a dodgy looking site for the 32GB version. So happy with this phone it's awesome. Definitely be looking into buying more Huawei phones in the future. Wasn't sure what I would receive from the seller but it's all UK as has UK charger inside so very happy. Just wish I didn't get a bit of a dent in the top bezel even.tho it's not very noticeable once I no it's there it eyes always sees it. Hoping for the seller to give me a partial refund as it would cost him a lot to return a doa device and then send another 1 out.

What is the model number & firmware version ?
In asia we are experts at opening & resealing boxes, most phones centres where I live have wrapping & sealing machine so you need check things real well.
The gold 32gb dual sim is £300 here & even cheaper than that in China/Kowloon
Do you guys actually have uk warranty ! I have warranty centre in my city near me, almost £400 is a lot of money for no rear retail seller support or reliable warranty.

@techfan1997 I've been using the MT7-L09 model for several months now. It works perfect with LTE on both AT&T's network and T-Mobile's network. It even works well with T-Mobile's AWS 1700 MHz band for its backhaul HSPA+ 4G service. This phone is 100% compliant with US GSM-LTE providers.

As a Verizon users who already pre-ordered from Moto, this is a little concerning:
"* Phone will not work with Sprint, Verizon, Boost Mobile, Virgin Mobile or any other CDMA carriers. Please contact your carrier prior to purchasing to confirm your carrier will support voice and data on this unlocked GSM device." - from the BB site linked in OP.
I know it supposedly has the bands to work on VZ, what do you guys think?
Edit: This DL article shows that it does have CDMA Bands for Verizon: http://www.droid-life.com/2015/07/28/moto-x-pure-edition-bands-verizon/ I'm still nervous though.

If it has expandable memory, why would you overpay for bigger internal storage? Just curious.

More total storage and more room for apps. I will leave the option off in M that combines storage, so can use the sd as media only. I have a 200gb card and has my entire music collection and also some movies, game roms, comics, books and Gear VR media. I like my stuff in one local place. Convenient and zero reliance on cloud or OTG storage.

I would suggest calling the store that you plan on going to and ask them. I wouldn't trust the online store availability, I've had the website say "unavailable" when a product was actually available at the store.

Right now they are "shipping" only, and with pre-order. Best bet is wait till they show available and give the actual store a call. I have never bought one outright from a store, always did online.

The Moto X Pure Edition is categorized at Best buy as "Unlocked" which means that you should be able to purchase it without any contract/service plan. You should be able to walk out of the store with nothing more that the cell phone.
FYI the 16gb black model probably has the best chance of being in stock. For me, it is saying "Add to Cart" rather than "Pre-Order" like the other models.
