I travel quite bit. I want to goto Europe this summer, not sure if it will be Germany or Greece or even Israel. I also will likely be in Hong Kong later this year. My mother will be traveling to china soon. If I want to buy the P30, should I wait til I goto Europe or Asia or have my mother get me one in china? Or is it cheaper to just buy it online? Looks like I can get one for $550US on ebay right now

I searched forever in Shijiazhuang and couldn't find it....eventually when I did, it was more than in the US....4300-5000 RMB. A good resources to check is Expansys China. Their website is http://www.expansys.cn/

Cheap is good. The phone is too new to be all f-ed up.

If you are giving prices in US dollars, then the $800 one is the one to be worried about. The phone does not cost $800. $500 to $600 American is on point.
go for cheap one.
I think 800$ is too much. If you don't trust the 550$ shop, you can talk with people who already bought something there - just find some discussion, forum etc.
Sounds like you are in a similar situation to us here in new Zealand. If I buy from a carrier this phone is quite a bit more expensive than using the parallel importers.
I've always gone parallel though and haven't had a faulty product yet.

make sure it's not a lemon though

You have two issues:
1- Warranty: HTC's warranty is region specific. So ig you buy it online from UK, you have to send it to HTC in UK (or Europe maybe) for repair. If you buy from local agent, you send it to him for repair.
2- Arabic language: The devices sold in Middle Esat have Arabic support. To make sure, the outside box of the phone will have specifications written in Arabic. This issue can be solved by unlocking the bootloader, Super CID (or Arabic CID) & flashing the official Arabic ROM or by using custom ROMs & then flashing Arabic files.
So its upto you.
I personaly would usualy buy from online, but when I baught my Sensation, I baught it in from Dubai (Arabic version) because it was not yet released in Europe except through Vodafone. Even when it was released, the first couple of weeks it was the same price as buying it here (with shipping added).
I live in Lebanon and bought it for $550. If you're reffering to that guy that has a facebook page and sells many brands of smartphones, then yes i bought it from him. It has the wifi deathgrip issue though. I didn't encounter any screen issues or dust under the screen.
Hi, I'm a guy from Hong Kong who is currently studying in England, but I lose my precious Xperia S few weeks ago (very sad).
I'm considering to get a new Xperia Z1 soon, but I dont think I'll buy it in England becoz phones are quite expensive here.
I'm thinking about ask my parents to purchase a phone in Hong Kong then deliver it to me (Since my father's friend in HK will travel to England in December, maybe he can bring it to me)
Does it cost tax since the phone is completely new??
Is it required to open the box or do something to prove the phone is not taken here for business purpose??
thankyou

Yes you need to pay the Tax of the phone, everything that is send from a another country cost money.
No you don't need to open the box or prove anything since its only 1 phone.
I have read at few review sites that there are two versions of Nexus 5. One for North America and Europe while other for Asia. Will a Nexus bought from USA work in India? Am planning to buy from USA from a friend.

While I can't confirm for sure, I believe it will since it supports all the GSM bands. I'm confident enough to have ordered one

Does anyone what charges and how much for a 32 gig will be applied if I pay through credit/debit card of India and have it shipped over to aunts house in US, who would bring it over to India for me.

400$ for the phone itself + shipping to your aunt's house and local US state taxes (if any, depends on the state). Apart from that your Aunt can carry it in her luggage and she shouldn't have to pay customs (I've done this a lot).
Hi. As you might know, Pixel2 price is 800€ in Germany, while in USA, it is ~550€. I want to ask one of my friends in USA to buy the phone an bring it with him to Germany. Can I use this phone in Germany?
I think if he buys the unlocked version, it should be fine.
Thanks
