How to buy the N7 from Google play outside of the us? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys here is my case
I live in Mexico and my brother who lives in California is coming to Mexico at august 10th.
I know that for buying the N7 you need to be in the us and use a domestic credit card so my plan is to ask my brother to use his card to order it directly from the playstore. Now my question is, since he doesn't have a Google account linked to any card he would need to create an account and link his card to Google wallet? Or anyone with a credit card in he US can order the N7 without a Google account just like buying it in some store location?
Is there different versions just like the Gnex TAKJU, YAKJU etc from the ones you order from the Google play and the ones you order in sites like best buy or other retailers?
Thanks for your help!

[Q] Will the Nexus 7 be available in stores?

Hey,
do you have any news if the Nexus 7 will be available in local stores in the US or CAN? If so, when and which?
Thanks
carphonewarehouse have announced they're are going to be offering it on tethered contracts in the UK ...
As i'm a new user, I cannot post a link yet...
It says in a source that it will be available I'm store for purchase a week after preorders are delivered. Only the 16gb will be available in stores and the 8gb will be available through the play store.

The 8GB version better be in stores. I'm not spending $50 on space I don't really need.
You can play with the 16gb and decide that if you like it, you can purchase it through the play store.

Um, what? I'll be losing money that way. Not only is there tax on everything you buy (which doesn't get refunded), but shipping would cost more than the $50 I would save.
I just purchased a 16GB version from the Play Store (UK) GBP209 including delivery.

Oops, sorry. I didn't know you're in Canada because I couldn't tell where it's being shipped to from the phone application. Most sources imply that the 8 gig is only via online but I hope that for Google's sake that they provide both in stores asap.
I still wonder why they don't sell it in Germany as we are a pretty big market too...

What kind of contract? There is no cellular service available for this, just Wifi.

[Q] Seattle/ Bricks and Mortor

Right. I'm from Ireland so Play Store is a big nono. If I stick with the $249 plus US tax, it should cost me €230. The problem is most places around europe are listing it as €270, since we have much higher tax rates over here. My dad is currently in Seattle, (Bellevue, and/or redmond) and said that he could pick one up for me from a shop, as there wasn't enough time for an online order to a hotel. What places sell them? So far I know there's Game stop... and thats it? No Best buy and so on and so forth. I don't know most AMerican chain stores so don't know what websites to search.. thanks for your help!

The 'Other places that sell No-Contract unlocked Nexus 4 @US349 ' thread

Revise the topic
I Know USA usually sell high end phones with carrier contract
No Contract phone in Online store usually is a low end phone
Any place will sell the High end phone like Nexus 4 with no contract + unlocked and the price US349?

Hi
I am not talking about purchase under play store, as google will reject order
buy from others us online store may be easier
nexus 7 sell at many US online store and same price as playstore
but i don't know the situation in phone as same as tablet or not
Galaxy Nexus sell at play store at us349
but none of these online store sell it,
even they sell galaxy nexus , the price become US400+
I am very interested in this topic, I will come to America from Italy in 2 weeks and I would take the nexus 4, only that I do not know yet where it will sell in stores, any of you know where I can find it? I felt that I could find in the t-mobile store, but it is an unconfirmed rumor.

Nexus 6 $550 at Best Buy

Edit: I posted the below deal this morning but it was pointed out in the replies that an even steeper Nexus 6 discount was announced today (see Phandroid link below). The 32 GB Nexus 6 is now available for $500 from Best Buy and also the Google Store (64 GB for $550).
I wish to highlight a Nexus 6 deal which I could not find listed anywhere else on XDA Dev or by Google search. The unlocked Nexus 6 is available for $550 at Best Buy. To obtain it at this price, one simply needs to ask in store for the unlocked Nexus 6 and then ask for a price match against T-mobile's online store, where the phone is currently on sale for $549.84. I also called Best Buy customer service and was informed by a representative that this price match should apply in all stores and to any purchases made from the Best Buy online store.
I can confirm this approach can work, since I was able to obtain a Nexus 6 for $549.84 in store from a Best Buy store this last weekend. However, I also found a Best Buy forum post where it was claimed that the price match was initially not honored (unfortunately I cannot include the link since I am a new member). Therefore, the ease of this approach may vary according to the representative one encounters.
As an additional note, T-mobile starter kits, which include a nano SIM, are currently on sale at Best Buy for $5. Thus one can set up an unlocked Nexus 6 on T mobile for ~$555 plus tax.
I apologize if I posted this thread in the wrong place or duplicated a pre existing thread. I will monitor the thread and delete/repost if necessary.
Is there any advantage (Other than the price right now) to buying the unlocked version -vs- the carrier specific one?

The ATT and Verizon are locked to their respective carrier. However once you have them paid off for the device you can get it unloved to work on other carriers.
The hard was is all the same.

Thanks. I'm thinking of getting one but I currently have the Note 3 on ATT and they use diff sim cards. I was going to simply pop mine in. Seems like I have to get a nano sim and add another line. I hate that the carriers have us by the sacs.

If you get one you don't have to add a line just have AT&T switch Sims and phone.
You would have to buy out right. With the T-Mobile $100 off deal is a great way to save some money. Best Buy will match the price.
Also Best Buy is selling the 64gb version for $550 not the 32gb Verizon and AT&T sells.
No need for price match anymore.

Thanks, I just saw that too! Google says that TMO doesn't price match, but I'm still in my 14 day window for the one I bought from them. Has anyone had any luck getting them to price match, or at least allow a return without their restocking fee?

Just returned mine back to BB and bought new saved another $50 bucks and ended up buying a 60'' LED for $450

6P Back in Stock on US site?

Hi All,
I saw someone on another thread say that the 6p was back in stock on the google site - can anyone confirm? After 64gb aluminium.
(i'm in the UK and cant check)
Cheers!
James
the 64gb is back in stock..i would buy it but im waiting for the 128gb..
thank you!!
yes it is! i just placed my preorder as well. 64GB aluminum is exactly what i wanted. I am hoping Best Buy carries it, but i decided to go ahead and preorder it in case they do not
The 32GB in Aluminum is also available in the US currently.
what is the shipping date?
As of 15:08 ET it is leaving warehouse in 1-2 days.
32gb aluminium with 1-2 ship date available on US google store
I just ordered, but they did not send me a confirmation email for my order, it does appear as pending on my list of transactions on my google account.
I randomly checked the us google site and to my surprise the aluminium 32GB and 64GB were available. I order the 64GB. The ship date for the 32GB is 1-2 business days and the 64GB I ordered said Leaves warehouse by November 12.
Got one! Very happy.
Quick question - my girlfriend in the US bought it through her google account. When it arrives i'll be able to register it to my account, right?
