I dont know but I am getting mine in the states just before I head to China, because it looks to me like its mostly North America and Europe that our getting it.
Depending on how many units google manages to ship in the first few weeks and when they start shipping. If the supply keeps up, you can expect to see Nexus 7 in every electronics bazar. The Chinese are just as excited about it as we are. Ask your local guy to bring you there. If the supply is tight for any reason, you'll still be able to get it from Taobao, their version of Ebay.
You should bump this thread before you leave for China, the situation would be a little more clearer by then.
It took the New Ipad about 2 months to flood the Mainland market. But they sell it officially in Hong Kong so that's an important factor.
Sounds like you have been there some, do you know if you can still access cloud servers in mainland, possible vpns?
Questions go in the Q&A section
Happy to tell you
I am living in Shanghai, I will be happy to tell you when it will be in the electronic markets. I asked my guy yesterday, told me he hopes it will be here end of July, mid August but he was not sure.

I live in hong kong, would be happy to see if it arrives at the end of july too.
I hope its localized version, and not just ones they bring back from the states (water product) which will be more expensive

I don't know. I have never had an android device. But this tablet is also big in China and there will be more information on everything once people get their hands on them. My ipad and iphone can surf the net no problem with a VPN that costs 3 dollar a month when I'm in China. I don't forsee any problem in that department.

The words on Chinese android forums are, Jelly Bean already supports Chinese, simplified and traditional, natively. Obviously the bundled apps et cetera would be US centric, instead of localised with QQ, Taobao and what have you, but the system can be set to Chinese without problem.

Yes, you can access cloud servers in mainland through vpns

Who cares about the Chicoms, what about Taiwan?
Not much to "up" about, I'm afraid. No official news yet. As for imported models, as someone already pointed out, you can stay sure you'll find plenty 2-3 weeks after US release in the various electronic bazaars.
uppp
Bumping only makes sense once the shipping starts. China is not going to get it before the listed countries do.

I am pretty sure you can get one from a C2C website "taobao". But you need to pay extra money since it is just released.
Anyone that understands the Hong Kong/China market/culture will tell you to never buy the early "water" (HK slang term for imports) batches that arrives, because the almost certainty that they will jack up the price to at least double the asking price compared to buying it elsewhere (such as the US). The Chinese people are notorious for cashing in on early adopters.
The price will also stay high until it is released officially in Hong Kong and/or China, when from that point all "water" (import) versions will see a price crash, dropping to cost cheaper than the Hong Kong/China official price. When it reaches this stage, the main argument is that imports don't have a warranty, whereas home released versions do.
TL;DR version, if you can get from the US or other google listed country via friends or whatever, do it and avoid being ripped off for being an early adopter. Unless you want to pay about $4000 HKD ($200 USD) for it when it's only worth about $2000 HKD ($200 USD).
there's a white Nexus 7 IO version on sale now.. for $5000 HK
which is probably smth like $500 lol
Thank god I live in the UK. Don't pay through the nose buying an overpriced N7, which kind of defeats the purpose of its cheap pricing in the first place.

I follow all the news about nexus on a daily basis, but would like to see if any of you guys have heard something about when google will start to officially sell the phone to the rest of the world. Or at least EU, since that's where I'm from :>
And are they gonna still sell it from google.com/phone or they are looking into deals with the local carriers for each country?
Would be nice if they ship it from within EU, so we can avoid the extra taxes.
p.s.
right now its being sold for over $850 here, unofficially
No idea, Google hasn't come with any officiall dates as far as I know. Didn't cost me more than $650 to get it to Norway, so noone should buy from those that sell at $850.
It is officially sold in the UK (which is EU member I believe), so why don't you just forward shipment from there?
It wont take more than extra 50-80$..

You can buy it here in the UK from play.com, but at a mere £600 its a rip off!

there is none on ebay yet.
Sorry to burst you bubble, but the prices aren't yet confirmed, and I'm near certain that they will be released by mobile carriers first. Clove and expansys have had them listen for some days now, and indeed probably since the announcement, but they are guessing at the prices. As for delivery date... Well they might have a concrete date for delivery, but I don't think there has been anything from samsung that we know of, so they could be guessing at that too, since we know 'early october'.

There is no rush to buy this, you are better off waiting, there will be excess supply for at least a few days after pricing is announced. You aren't catching any better deals by rushing either, just asking for price gouging.
ummm...
i am thinkin about going to koria
is that any good - graping the device-wise -
If I recall correctly, the device is coming to the EU first anyway, so going to korea might not actually speed anything up at all. Also, although I couldn't speak to the exchange rate, but since Korea is likely to be a hot market, the prices could be artificially high at release, so keep that in mind to.
Its also worth to keep in mind that the Korean version will be CDMA (ie like a verizon/sprint devce) and not a GSM one, which will mean that you won't be able to use the mobile data connection in Europe at all because it won't have the right radio.
I would like to buy one pcs no metter what praice is. Even if is 1000euro. But really need that device before the others.
I am sure that some pcs will be ready on market before others. Probably like late September. But on stock's world wide will be from 15 October.

have you seen their ratings?
Pfffffttt ... what the!
I've been keeping an eye on Amazon UK and Play UK for the Galaxy tab, well Play now have a price and release date for the 16GB version ..... are you sitting down?
£899.99 Free delivery Due for release on 04 July 2011.
Edit: The spec isn't right either.
899 GBP for 16GB???? !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No way ... too damn expensive ...
They are either mistaken or they're taking the piss, Amazon.de are advertising it at EUR 637,98, that's about £563.
I've just emailed Play.com asking why the price is so high and they've just responded with:-
Dear Customer,
We are pleased to inform you that 'Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 / Dual Core 1GHz / 16GB / 10.1 inch Touch Screen / Android 3.0 Honeycomb / Tablet' is now available to order. Click on the link below to pre-order now!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
At that rate it would be better to order from Amazon.de although Amazon UK may announce a price soon? What are the implications of buying a German unit, it is just classed as a European unit, warranty wise etc?
Yes,
in this regard EU is treated as one so id does not really matter where you buy.
The only difference might be a posting cost.
I have bought stuff from Pixmania (FR) when I was living in the UK with delivery to Poland. (no problems). I have just bought (now being in Poland) Sapphire Xtreme HD 5850 - also no problem.
So... if amazon.de is first to send them away you do not risk anything.
In the past I bought Vaio form Sony Outlet in Holland - fine as well.
Having that in mind... I wonder if Apple isn't breaking the law (EU law) by offering only 12 months of warranty???
As far as I know all manufacturers selling their products in EU are supposed to offer 2 yr. warranty at minimum (no less).
And again on a different note... I am quite grateful for EU being regarded by manufacturers as one country/market. In the past we would wait ages in separate countries for lunch of devices, prices, updates, etc... it is without a doubt better than before we were all completely separate.
I called Play.com and they are looking into it to see if it is a pricing error. They will email me when they know more.
In the mean time, we need to find the best place to get this device in the UK, even if that means ordering from elsewhere in Europe.
I will let you know ass soon as they are available in PL. With Polish Zloty loosing ground because of Greece it might actually work out cheaper for you .
At the moment you are looking at approx. 625 EURO (predicted price, dont know about delivery).
Another issue is, although Samsung will honor warranty in Europe, if the product is faulty when it arrives I will need to send it back to the retailer and they might be abroad. Postage and a language barrier might cause some hassle.

That was my concern with getting stuff from USA (Motorola does not have a worldwide warranty and again - if you buy in USA, you only have 12 months ).
With buy in in EU it is not a problem - buy in Poland, UK, Greece - and you can get it repaired or exchanged through your local representative/service/etc.
It is very nice that it works this way.

Actually I think that was just an automated email as I'd signed up to be notified of availability, it can't be the response to my WTF email re the price on their site.
Folks, thanks for your input ref European warranty.
Thanks for the heads-up up on that, but that price must be a provisional one, much as happened with the initial pricing of the GS 2, which saw its price gradually drop down as its release approached to a much more reasonable level.
I have had my "hands on" today with Transformer.
As I treat this as "tablet for a while" I also want to be able to sell it easily in future and loose as little as possible.
SG 10.1 as much as it is sexy is too limited.
My choice will be Transformer 16GB + keyboard dock - and than I will wait for Kal-El or something else (light, with sd slot that plays mkv and other formats and has sexy look and great batt. life) - this will keep me going for a while.
At the moment I am only thinking... buy now (and use netbook as well) or wait till netflix app will show up as it should have a better price by that time... (I hope non of you think it - netflix app - will not show up).

You're most likely right about it being a provisional price, but what happens if a buyer orders it at the over inflated price and it then reduces by say £300, would they get it at the reduced price?
I'm weary of Play, they tried to pull a fast one on me a few months ago.

Yes that's what I did with the Transformer, I do prefer to be able to walk in and get it sorted straight away.
Called up Play.com and now they are looking into the specifications.
It probably didn't help that I got pissed off at the guy because he was giving me generic answers, so when he asked me how I knew their website was wrong I said I work in the IT sector and carry out the necessary research rather than spend all day talking to customers in a monotone and boring voice.
A galaxy tab for a down to earth price...
When the Transformer wasn't widely available, Carphone Warehouse had it. I ordered and it came the next day. I returned it to my local CPW (because of a screen gap), they refunded my card straight away.
Thinking about it though, the Galaxy Tab is expensive compared to the $499 that the US is being charged...so tempted to order it from Amazon.com using viaddress. I haven't used them before, but I'm thinking worst case scenario, I have to pay import duty so that'd put it near the price of Amazon.de - but if it works out, I could get one for about £350. Either way i'd probably get it in a week...
I have not seen this thread yet so I have been calculating how long it was for the nexus 6 to appear on the Hong Kong play store. It seems that Nexus 9 is out on the Hong Kong Play Store. Only grey color and only in Wifi so far. Also only delivers in 3 weeks. HKD 3088 for the 16gb and HKD3688 for the 32gb. Anyone already ordered one?
Personally I am thinking of waiting for the gold one, also for the keyboard to come out. Although Google has not always been that great with accessories and their availability.
Keyboard is ridiculous price! Cheaper alternative for me!
Can't believe it's so cheap in HK!
Man, tempted to go to HK for a holiday now and buy a Nexus 9. My gf would love to go back sometime. We lived there for a year 2012/2013. Plus UK plug heads etc.
The prices at different regions depend on the tax (at least part of the price). If I remember correctly the tax price of tech product in HK is not that high comparining to Europe.
PS. I also ordered mine from HK play store
How much is shipping from the HK Google Play store? I'll be travelling to HK soon and am thinking of getting one whilst I'm there.

The term "cheap" should depends on the average income for people in that region
So, up until yesterday, the Play store was showing shipping as 2-3 weeks. This has now been updated as showing "Leaves warehouse by November 5".
Also, should add, no sales tax in HK, which is sometimes why things are a bit cheaper here sometimes (but we do have lots of unofficial hidden taxes which sometimes result in things being more expensive here compared to other parts of the world).
I have not been able to see the white one, must be different for everyone. I think you can RMA with google play store in case of QA problems. It is tempting to be one of the first to use the Nexus 9 tho.
i am heading to HK on holiday on Nov 14, any kind friends from HK can advise me when is the rough date to order the nexus 9 so it can reach my hotel say between 16-18 nov? Also, is there any post office or service address where i can have it ship to so i can self collect while they safe keep for me? i would prefer the latter though. thanks!
Also, would you ahve any idea of trusted and reputable retail shops in HK to purchase the nexus 9?

The official claim from Google is 2-5 business day for delivery after the product has left the warehouse and the warehouse for Hong Kong market is located in Singapore.
Most of the big stores in Hong Kong are trustworthy, but you can expect they might sell it a little bit higher than Play store

Unfortunately i don't think anyone knows anything about Hong Kong availability, i have friends that work at Google in Hong Kong and they don't know
furble,
Considering Nexus 5 release in Hong Kong was one of the earlier cities to get them back them, one would think Hong Kong would be one of earlier cities to get stock since Huawei has a decent presence in HK.
Yeah that's what I was thinking, but you see all these release dates and preorders in other countries and no news for Hong Kong.
Like i said, i asked my friend that works at Google Hong Kong and they told me they asked around and noone knows anything....
Hoping it comes out soon, my current phone is 3yrs old and this is most likely my next phone
dying to know this myself as i'm based in HK too. Huawei has a really big retail market here in HK so I think there will be a set release date with no need to preorder from google. Retail shopping is so big here.
I guess it most likely will be available this year. ?HK is not a big market and it probably won't make a dent in their small inventory.

Ye, it won't make a dent in their market with Nexus phones but there is a lot of authorised Huawei retail stores in HK which will stock them locally. Judging by that, there should be stock on release date.
Nexus phones aren't big here in HK but since its Huawei, and their presence in HK, it should do pretty well.
I remember Nexus 5 wasn't even for sale on any big retail stores. It should change this year.

That was what I thought when the N5 came out. I thought the retails shops didn't have them but they did stock them. I just asked and did have them in stock. Huawei HK website doesn't even mention the 6P so don't know what they are doing now. Like it was with the N5, the retail stores sold them at a premium compared to the Google Store. This will most likely happen this time around with the 6P. Google, make them available in November 2015!!!!!
Hey guys, so I was getting impatient too. I recommend you check out price.com.hk for list of shops that take reservations. I pre-ordered with CW Professional shop in CWB; they provide official warranty and I can pickup the 6P between Nov 3-6. I can't wait!
Where do they get the 6P?

Madeo,
Nice heads up on the find but watch out where they get their stock. Is this the 6P China version? HK version? North American version? I'm thinking their getting the China version which I don't know if there is a difference on the software side.
They said "100% 原裝正行, 中港聯保"
The official Google page have a sign up for news, but that's it.
I'm also waiting for official release in HK.
The Nexus 5 was available to buy in HK, it's just that most shops would rather sell you Samsung/Apple products instead. In the end I bought my wife a Nexus 5 directly from Google about a week after release.
We have to wait for Madeo to receive his handset from CW and see if it is legit or just wait it out. I have a hunch it will be available in November 2015 from Google Store.
How much is it and which model did you preorder?
Don't buy from retail store...

The prices are always higher then Google Store. I remember they priced it at $3800 for 16GB and $4300 for 32GB for N5. Further, they are usually opened and demoed before purchase by the consumer. At least we know handsets from Google Store are sealed box.

Looking back at my purchase history, I bought a white 16GB for HK$3,198 on Nov 20 2014, it arrived about about 3-4 working days later.
Google price will always be around the same as Fortress/Broadway shops, but you don't get any extras (screen protector usually).
Luckily there wasn't any defects on the phone but I think it would have been very easy for Google to pickup and send a replacement anyway.
I bought the Aluminium 32GB for 4688$HK ; that's the expected official price from the playstore hk. I'll let you guys know as soon as I pickup my device. Google will probably release the 6P in HK late November or early Dec but I can't wait; my current phone is dying on me.

Madeo,
Yes, who knows when they will start selling in HK (Google Store). Since, CW sells it at the Google price then it is all the better for the consumer. My Desire 820 alarm is all whacked. It comes on only a few time during the work week which is killing me.
Sin Dat and other local places
Dear All,
Anyone check out Sin Dat for the price and availability. Also, any cases or tempered glass screen protectors available in HK yet.
