How did other Australian's get it here? I'm looking to get 2 64GB Sandstone Black one's (one for me and one for a mate) but I only just found out they don't ship to Australia!
*EDIT*
Had a look on ebay and this is the cheapest I could find:
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/OnePlus-...21?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_15&hash=item19f1f6df15
Which is about $50 more than ONEPLUS... The Australian dollar is so bad atm
Buy from Aliexpress

I live in europe, but not in UK. Does anyone have ideas about how I should get my hands on the Nexus S, when it becomes available?
Any thoughts are most welcome
If you can wait, then sign up here: https://services.google.com/fb/forms/nexuss/
If you're in a hurry, then there are a few options:
1. Best Buy + delivery service like http://www.aramex.com/shopandship/default.aspx
2. eBay. Prices are about $730 now, I'd wait a bit.
3. Wait for somebody local to import a load of phones and sell on at higher price.
Carphone warehouse, vodafone contract only tho

I'm afraid but "Best Buy does not ship to known freight forwarders, and orders to such will be canceled."

Please inform us if you will recieve a phone ..
A lot of friends bought iPhone 4 in Apple store in other country and they recieved it via freight forwarders. It would be strange if Nexus S can be bought in this way, because they will only lower their sales.
According to this review, it will be available in EU in February and it will have lower price than Galaxy S i9000:

Also at that time Samsung will unveil i9100..

Huh. Disappointing, and smells of politics
Well, if BB don't want my money, then I will happily take it elsewhere. There might be an initial rush, but come January it will not be difficult to get one online, no matter where you live. Well, perhaps if you're on the ISS.
I think you can use site like MyUSABox (http://www.myusabox.com/), but personally I don't have experience with it. Don't know if anyone can comment about the site

Seems pretty unlikely.
I'm pretty sure they are unable to block credit cards by country.
If your credit card belongs to an established network (Visa or Mastercard for example), the payment should go through smoothly.
I'll be placing an order as soon as the Nexus S is in stock at best-buy.com, I'll keep you guys posted regarding the payment.

I find no mention of warranty anywhere at all at Google, eBay or Best Buy. US warranties tend to be short, so I'd guess a phone sold in Greece would have a longer warranty, but at a higher price.

That will probably never happen. If you could buy loads of stuff somewhere at $530, would you sell them on eBay at the same price?

Oh wow that's horrible! There have been users here that somehow get it shipped to a courier in a different country then shipped to them. Hopefully one can help you in your situation. I didn't know about the whole situation with Google in China. Best of luck to you!

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've checked on that site before, but was looking for a physical store in Guangzhou City to go to! Hopefully there's a Hong Kong / ROW version because LTE is on 1800mhz here in New Zealand!
Thank you!
Buy from Japan and get it reshipped through jshoppers Tenso.
Or else wait a few days, Google Play HK is rumoured very very soon. Prices will be around HK$3.2k for 16GB and HK$3.6k for 32GB.

No listings at swappa. Thanks for the tip though.
I got a discount code for $50 off the price and free shipping from HTC. So off the total price was $70. Shipped price was $799 plus tax.
Prices will be better come fall season.

Hi guys
Where would you get this phone from for a person living in the UK?
I've been looking at eBay but they seem to be sold out or priced too highly?

I got mine (Gundam) from liaow. They're not the cheapest but reliable and great service.
Did you have to pay tax on top of the final price?
No - I'm in Canada.
I've gone for https://www.cect-shop.com/en/home
Hopefully I won't be disappointed.
I got mine on eBay didn't have to pay any taxes I'm UK aswell
