Just want to know if anyone one has figured out a way to buy these devices outside of India? I am pretty used to the normal hoops that you need to jump through to get Nexus phones in South Africa, but I am really keen on testing one of these devices.
Searched Ebay, but no one will ship out of India.
Any advice will be appreciated.

HI guys,
does anyone know of good reliable website where i can buy android phones from. I'm interested in buying the HTC Desire, however it's not out in Canada yet and I'm not entirely sure when it will be coming to Canada. Also, i don't want to have to deal with the ****ty service providers to get the Desire.
So, does anyone know where i could buy it from?
any help would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Best site here in the old Europe but valid even for US and Canada is www.expansys.com
Go for it.
Hello,
I have been looking everywhere for the Nexus One desktop dock in Canada, but have not yet found a supplier. Would anyone know where's the best place to get one? Ebay is overpriced... I am looking anywhere from 50-70 USD.
Thanks.
bump... anyone?
I think you can buy one through android.com if you have a developer account. You might also try to order through http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/, but I'm not sure if they ship to North America.
I'm worried about where I'm going to get a replacement battery down the road. I always assumed that Google would continue to sell accessories after discontinuing the phone, but I guess they decided to give us a big middle finger instead.

Looking everywhere...
I called Nexus one support ---> tried to help me find one, but no avail.
I called america HTC shop ---> cannot use canadian based creditcard or paypal, they only ship to america. (i was actually okay with this since I could have asked my friend to send it over to me once received)
I checked accessory shop at UK (non in canada) ---> they do ship to canada, but they are out of stock until september 5th. Plus shipping is expensive
I checked ebay ---> I'm not going to bother explaining this one
I checked Amazon ---> 120 (with shipping). too expensive.
I'm getting pissed off now. Way to go google. This is the first time I'm questioning google's marketing team.
I have a pretty much brand new one for sale if you like. Think I've used it twice all up since I got it with my N1 5 months ago from the US?
I am based in Australia but am happy to ship worldwide.
I have sent you a PM.
cheers
Hey I am new here
I am flying to the UK (London) in the end of May, and I wanted to ask if someone who lives in London knows any store there that sells Sim-Free HTC Phones? Basically I am asking that because I want to buy the HTC Sensation and I have only 4 days in London so I want to be prepared.
If there are several stores, I would like to hear all of them if you can or the cheapest+most reliable one (as much as possible ofcourse).
You'll have to buy if from vodophone unlocked
Sure it is possible?
And thanks for the comment.
I am not sure Vodafone sell unlocked phones. Your best bet will be any Carphone Warehouse store. All their phones are unlocked. If you ask to buy PAYG, you will save about £50 on the sim-free price but the good thing is you get the same phone you would have got if you bought it sim-free + you get a number and £10 or £20 credit to use while you are in London.
First, Thanks!
Second, I searched for the store near my Hotel and I found one really nearby so now I want to ask another question, if you have experience buying phones from them or heard something, Do they overprice? I mean here where I live I can go to the store and the price will be 800 pound and in Amazon it will be 600 pound for example.. not that huge differences but I hope you got my point.
Third, Do they get the last phones usually after they come out? because if it's said that the Sensation will come out on mid May, and I am coming on end May, I hope they'll have it by then.
Carphone Warehouse!
As far as I'm aware, Vodafone have it exclusively for May then other retailers will start selling in June, so you may be out of luck I'm afraid

Hello,
I resided in Colorado here in the states. I want to obtain a Sensation 4G from Canada (Bell or Virgin Mobile) but despite hours of trying to figure this out I simply can not figure out how to import one. Bell and VM will not ship to the US and they also want a person to sign up for a 30 day term even buying a unlocked full price phone. On top of this I can not seem to find an resellers who will ship one of these to me here in the US.
To clarify I am on AT&T and as such need one of these phones as T-Mobile's model will not work for 4G
Any advice on this would be great, Thank you.
id hate to say it, but youre SOL for the time being...bell HATES their hardware going anywhere but bell, and as for virgin, theyre a little more leinent, but wont ship out of canada...your best bet is to try to strike an arrangement/deal with a canadian XDA member to buy and ship one to you...
the other downside is that the canadian S4G isnt carrier unlocked yet
Thank you very much for the information, this is exactly what I feared. I think I might need to just put my money in my sock drawer for now and wait at atleast for them to start unlocking the phones before going through the hassle of contacting a friend in Canada to have them ship me a phone.
Thanks again.
I bought a Bell Sensation 4G from Wireless Wave for the full price ($549 CAD). There were no hassles, contracts, etc.
The only downside at the moment is there are no unlock codes available for Bell Sensation IMEIs; supposedly, this should become available this week.
There are several online shops that will ship to you, I have one myself. Just waiting for the unlock codes

Shame neither location has them, and they are significantly more expensive then the cell carrier prices.
i am also curious what carrier your phone is locked to?

I use Att as well, the phone is locked to Bell at the moment. Just waiting till the unlocked codes are available.
Check the unlock threads in General guys, the codes are out. Should be super easy to get one now as long as your willing to pay full price.
Need to get my hands on the Moto X Play. Anyone able to get one from sasktel in canada? They seem to be the cheapest out there with the option to buy the device outright from a store.
Please let me know asap
Thanks guys and gals!
You might want to hold on there. From what I've read, all the Canadian devices are network locked...
Telus says theirs are carrier locked

from what I gather, your best bet for acquiring a USA GSM compatible and unlocked Moto X Play is to go with one from Brazil with model number XT1536. The question now is how to get one from that country and not pay too much extra fees for it. On a side note, I noticed all the Canadian carriers seem to carry the 16GB model only. i know memory is expandable but i'd prefer more onboard storage due to faster read/write access plus better memory chips used vs. your typical microsd card.
They're carrier locked but from what a Bell representative told me, you can pay them 50 (unlocking fee) and then you can unlock the phone yourself / other people to get it to work outside the carrier.

Hey thanks for the heads up man. i thought the brazilian one was also compatible but wanted to see if canada was easier. If it unlocked from brazil it may be a better buy.
Real problem is that conversion really sucks... $300 usd for the one from canada and $400 usd for the one from brazil

If you want- I can get you the one from Canada- I noticed you were in NYC which isn't too far from where I am- it is $449+tax CAD + $50 unlocking fee + whatever shipping would be to you.
Let me know! I had to go through so much trouble to get one even though I'm already in Canada already ahha- but no regrets at all! Awesome phone.

500 dollars??? better off getting the moto style
Does the Sasktel one come with the Turbo Charger? I saw an article on MobileSyrup that mentioned Koodo is one of two carriers that includes the turbo charger, but didn't see anything more.
Here in Alberta there's no sales tax, so getting it from Koodo may not be a bad idea (if they'll sell outright). I'm considering buying one, but only if I can get it outright.

Hey it looks like if you go into a koodo store you should be able to buy it sim free from them. Do they have stores in alberta? you willing to go and check it out?
Yes they do. If you can give me until tomorrow, I'll go have a look (I'm probably going to grab one if they have it in stock.
I actually have a Koodo account, so I shouldn't have a problem buying it without the 2-yr term.

Moto x play is smaller the the LG G4 in all ways except thickness....who cares with that huge battery!
BTW it is confirmed why we dont have it in the USA.... http://www.droid-life.com/2015/08/25/droid-maxx-2-verizon/
I got my Moto X Play from Koodo today. While I did upgrade from my tab, I also confirmed it's $430.50 outright here in Alberta ($410 + 5% GST).

Motorola are extremely cheap to unlock... The last few I did were around 5 bucks
Has anyone figured out how to get the 2nd SIM slot to work on the Canadian variant?
