I'm suffering, because i cant pre-order this "i think" awesome product..
who else is feeling the same.
Hopefully other retailers will sell these to the countries Google has over looked.
I doubt that there will be many for sale at reasonable prices on Ebay when they first come out.
I'm waiting for this type of tablet, why is the world so divided
Well count me in...
I was watching I/O and as they showed it I got more and more excited. Then they said where it will be available and I wanted to cry :banghead:
sent from my Galaxy Nexus
I want to order nexus 7 but in my country it is not available.
The retail market will sold it much more that the google's price... I think about 300 Euro or more. Will live and see...
Well in my case i used tor to access USA Play and change my shipping address to a mailbox on miami.
I preordered from Norway using my mastercard and an american shipping address that acts as a forwarding address to my Norwegian address. Jetcarrier.com. Ads around 25$.

Did you use a norwegian credit card or how did you get a us-one? I heard only cards issued in US, UK and Canada would be accepted.
Thanks
Tried different cards and Visa was not accepted, maybe because Mastercard is a Google Wallet Partner? Dunno, maybe it was just a glitch. Lets see if anyone else manages to order from an illegal location with a local card.
Well tried to preorder but got the unconfortable message stating that the device is not available in my country and that they are doing their "best" to make it possible as soon as they can. Which is I am guessing by the end of the year for 100 euros more in retail store. I'd really like to have the same price and treatment by buying directly from the play store but no official details on that either... That's complete bs. Why make such a global product so restricted for so many areas. my money ain't green enough I guess.
PS: apparently there are no official confirmations for a launch in Europe yet...
i really don't like that. i planned to instantly order one, because i waited so long for a 7inch tablet that's worth the money.
i'm pissed.
EDIT: probably we find some nice guys here at XDA who can buy and send us those awsome tabs? XDA Marketplace ftw?

I made an account at Borderlinx, they give you an US-Adress where google will send the device first, then they send it to you. I have to pay 280$ to google, and about 370 total, thats about 300 Euro which is not cheap but ok i guess.
@salv-ice
Yes i used Hotspot Shield.

For info, I just read on a french tech news site that Asus will distribute the Nexus 7 through it's own network (but no date announced yet) !
So we should find it in stores outside US / UK

I'm trying to purchase the N1 in the U.S. I'm from Canada but I live 2 minutes from the border. I tried ordering online and having it shipped to a U.S. address I use all the time but Google didn't seem to appreciate that and canceled my order and temporarily suspended my account.
I can only find reference to Tmo versions being sold at some outlets, but nothing for the ATT version.
Any reason you don't want to ship it to Canada? It got here the next day for me, and legally you need to pay taxes even if you are just driving over, don't you?
Edit with content relevant to your question: No, I don't think any store sell the 850 band Nexus One. Sorry

Even as a foreigner you should be able to order it and ship it to a US address.

I supplied them with emailed info but I zero idea if they have received anything or how long it takes to clean up the mess. Beyond that one email I have received nothing else from Google, extremely frustrating and there is no phone number to call.
I can see why selling the N1 online was such a failure.
What methods are people from overseas using to get the Nexus S? I used a mail forwarder to get my Nexus One but that was made a bit easier because Google's online store accepted overseas credit cards. Unfortunately Best Buy only accepts US credit cards.
I was just going to use the "Buy it for me" service that some mail forwarders offer but just wanted to check if anyone on here had another trick up their sleeves.
I'm using mobicity.com.au
prices are alright (not great) but they will get it to you.

Best Buy isn't shipping to any "known" freight-forwarders.

I have just placed buy for me request for Nexus S from them.
i go tit right from Bestbuy.com
THeres a generic address you put in ur billing address if ur using international card (its in the help, a Texas address)
then I put in the shipping address of a mail forwarder (shipito.com)
all good!
Okay so I want to buy this phone, but I can't get it off Google Play because they don't accept Canadian Visa's.
I want to get it off Handtec for 293.99 Pounds, which is 464ish CAD.
This is coming from the UK, using FedEx 1-4 days.
Now what hidden costs should I look out for? Is there going to be some Custom's Fee when I get my product? Or do I sign and go?

Google Play does accept Canadian Visa's. Not sure where you're getting that from. Just order from Google otherwise be prepared to pay provincial and federal tax, and duty fees on top of the $460-ish cost.
My MasterCard is on Google wallet aka play... Sooo not sure what the issue is...

No, play is derp.
I have a TD Access Card, debit Visa and they deny it cause it's derp. I called up, emailed and I don't think they'll fix it. I'm so annoyed by their lack of PayPal.
That's because its not actually a visa credit card. That's the issue.

Couldn't you just go buy some Google Play Store gift cards at the store and use those? Or just one of those Visa/Amex/Mastercard prepaid cards?

I saw these gift cards at a store I was just at. Are you saying I could purchase a bunch to equal the amount for a N4, and then redeem them all on Google Wallet, and win?
I wouldn't even dare touch that.
Google Wallet is not ready, it's just not. I don't want $400 stuck online. A lot of people had this Visa issue.

Not sure how far from the border you are but your best bet would be to search craigslist of a border town/city. Other than that I'm not too sure what you could do since people within the US usually don't like shipping to other countries.

How much is it to ship to Mexico. I have an extra Nexus 4 16GB still sealed from Google that I'm willing to sell.
I can order one for you and ship it down there if you're willing to pay for it all, I won't charge any more than it costs me to send down there.
PM me if you want.

It should cost $392.94 for tax and shipping from Google. Then you add shipping fees to Mexico onto that. The wait time says 5-6 weeks at the moment.
I live in Mexico, and the only way I found to buy one is usa-address+usa CC, but because I not have neither of that, I was thinking in use entropay for usa CC and a family address for deliver, also was looking for negrielectronics but it is overpriced.

Yes, telcel will bring it to mexico something like 10k mexican pesos with plan, dam is too high

Im currently using a nexus 5. My screen is broken pretty badlyand and my headphone jack is failing. I really like the specs of the force/turbo. I'm on ATT so I would need to go force. I'd also like to get the force so I can root. But I'm haveing a hard time finding the phone on the market though. Is there anyone in the US that is using the force? If so where did you end up buying it from? Are you enjoying it?
You can get one from Mexico. I've got mine from UK because I went to EU for holidays. I'm really enjoying it. The best Android phone I ever had and the first one I'm using at is. No bl unlock, no root. Strange feeling
Usually I'm unlcoking and flashing custom rom max few days, max one month after purchase.
Did you order from the Motorola EU online store or did you buy it in person somewhere? I looked at the Mexico Motorola store today but it looks like they will only ship to Mexico. Need Google translator to confirm though.

I won it on ebay auction. Few shops from UK selling it too. Jaocagomez can help you to get one from Mexico.
I'm still in Europe (Budapest) on business trip and flying back to San Jose on February 6. Maybe you can order here and I can bring to you. Not sure is it good idea
Thanks, but I'd rather purchase it so it ships directly to me. No middle man hasels.
I did confirm Motorolas Mexico site will only ship to Mexico.
Hunting around I feel like the phone has not been released yet. I know its going to be released in India in February but from the news articals I read the phone was released in november, yet most webistes say preorder or coming soon. Did I miss something? Even some ebay listings reflect this. Unless you want to spend 900$+.

Thanks! I saw them before but didn't see an option to select US by just browsing the site. But I just tried checking out and there it was. They even have it listed for a very reasonable price.
A you wish. I wasn't sure should I offer you help or not, take responsibility, etc.
I saw one on swappa and another one on ebay, both USA sellers but prices was really bad. One from Ebay sold for $810!? Then I've checked sites from the link I posted and contacted them. If you're buying from USA then is without VAT but you're importing it in USA so you have to pay duty, tax and maybe stuck at border to get permission for importing uncertified device.
@BladeRunner could you share details how much you paid all together and did you have any problems at border. Would be really useful info for everyone.

I want to buy from clove store , please confirm is true if I can buy from UK???? I live in NY thanks
Thanks for looking into this so much guys!
With my gears a turning the past couple of days I think im going to hold off though. Id really like to buy straight from motorola. That way if I have any issues I can just deal with them directly. That and I gain the ability to cusomize the phone if I order through them.
Im being optamistic I know but the phone was listed on Mexico's site on Monday and just noticed it was listed for Brazil today. So you never know.
This is definatly a good thread to keep alive incase others are interested like Makiger.
So I thought I would try and do an "over the phone" order to see if there was anything special they could do. Sadly this was unsuccessful. But the agent I spoke with did say something that may be intreeging to some. It honestly could mean nothign or it could mean real soon. Who knows?
Jessel: Oh, I do apologize for that. As of the moment, this Moto X Force is not yet available on our webiste. What I can suggest is to visit third party vendors and see if they already have Moto X Force available here in the US. We looking forward to this phone to be available soon.

I think that agent doesn't have a clue what he's talking He's just repeating generic phrase. Turbo 2 is exclusive for Verizon. Do you really think that Moto can offer basically the same device in US and brake exclusive contract with Verizon?
Don't get me wrong, I would like that Moto didn't even make Turbo 2, just Force globally.

you can buy from the UK, it just takes a while to get it.
A listing just popped up on India Amazon a little early for the rumored release date..
http://www.amazon.in/gp/product/B01A8DQSW2?tag=kostprice-21
PSA:
If you do buy from Clove Technology - or any overseas store - and you're paying with PayPal, make sure to change their default currency conversion to use your credit card's exchange rate instead.
Just priced the phone (Jan 29, 2016) as £431.83 shipped to me in the USA. According to XE.com, that's $613.78 USD with a conversion rate of 1 USD = 0.703554 GBP.
PayPal was giving me a rate @ 1 USD = 0.678425045 GBP, which would make the cost $636.52 USD, or an increase of $22.74, which is a full tank of gas for me.
Good Experience With Handtec
I got mine from Handtec UK (Sorry, can't post a link)
It arrived today in Louisiana from FedEx and it only took about 2 days to get here. No problems with customs or VAT whatsoever. All in all, it cost me around $625 (Used PayPal at Checkout), including shipping. Other than the UK wall plug it came with, I'm very satisfied so far.
