[Q] Pre-order in unsupported nations - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Nexus 4 hasn't yet been launched in India, and can be pre-ordered only through Play, and obviously only from the countries its been launched in. What are the various and quickest ways I can get my hands on an unlocked piece?

If you have friends in those countries it would be an easy task for you!
Otherwise wait until Dec ,LG will release it in India may be over priced!!!

International Note II shipping on Sept. 27. $900.00!

Saw this:
$900.00!
Yesterday, we told you that US Cellular and Samsung India are accepting pre-orders for the Galaxy Note 2 and today were made public the release dates of Note 2 for several European countries. It seems like Europe will get the upcoming Samsung sensation phone first and you should try to find more info at your local dealers to find out if you can pre-order it.
Samsung says that it will start shipping the Note 2 ‘phablet’ starting with September 27 and the first country that will get it, is Germany. However, almost all European countries will receive the device in weeks 40 and 41 of 2012. It will be released with the latest Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean firmware and it comes in two different colors, Titan Gray and Marble White. You should check web sites of your local dealers and see if they are accepting pre-orders for Note 2.
The release dates for Samsung Galaxy Note 2 N7100 in Europe are these:
Germany – 27th of September.
Italy – 28th of September.
Netherlands, France and UK – October 1st and 2nd.
All other countries in the EU should get the device around the same dates. The device will pack a 5.5 inch 720p HD Super AMOLED display, an 8MP camera, 1.6 Exynos quad-core CPU, Premium Suite for Note, S Pen stylus, Corning Gorilla Glass 2 and the Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean OS.
The pricing of this smartphone-tablet device starts from 700 Euro, but it might differ from country to country. Also, Samsung said that they expect to sell at least twenty million units of the Note 2, but I personally think that that number is a little out of reach seeing that numerous phone manufacturers are getting ready to launch new devices in Q4 2012.
The Titanium Grey and Marble White are the available colors, just like the ones used for the Samsung Galaxy S3. If you like big screen devices and you take into consideration the specs of Note 2, then this device is a must-buy and you shouldn’t hesitate to purchase it, even if the pricing is around 700 Euro or $900. Tell us in comments that you think about Samsung’s new Note 2 device and whether you think that it will become an instant success or not.

price is high, GPU is old....
hope HTC will release a phablet soon (im buying only htc, samsung and sony. samsung is expensive and sony wont release a phablet..).
~ 2 more weeks and my suffering will be over (on a Nokia N97 temporary cuz my original note died on me )
The reason the price is so high is because it includes the VAT (value added tax)
For those outside Europe, the price should be about $150 lower.

oh..I always thought it was a "I Gotta Have It FIRST" tax.
According to the US Cellular pre-order, it's $299.99 contract and $799.99 off-contract.

Well i preordered mine on friday in sweden and they told me they will post it to me @ 26th to have it on the release day of 27th! this month!!
Next week will be epic once again. Ive missed my Note so much and have been in some ugly phones shoes for too long...
Titanium Grey ... What else?
810$ in Denmark is the cheapest I've found so far.

did you buy the international version ?
do you have the URL of the store ?
In India, the retailers are estimating it in the first week of October. Let's see though.
European retailers have links you have in stock soon.
If you can tell me I would appreciate some.
Cheapest I've found is at http://www.kogan.com/au/buy/samsung-galaxy-note-ii-grey-unlocked/

unfortunately not, even the Euro versions with LTE (right now there are at least 5 different versions, not all have LTE and the ones that do have LTE only work with a limited number of networks, most Euro versions will work with ATT 3G and 2G)
Thank you very much for the link to the store if you do not know any German website send outside Europe as it seems to be the first country to receive the note 2.

oh yes october 1st for UK! Gunna have to buy this on release day!
Thanks for posting release dates crazeco

[Q] Buying in unsupported countries

Is there any way that we can buy the Nexus 4 if we're not in the US/UK/etc.? Would really love the ability to get one and have them ship to a forwarding address or something.
And I'd rather not get it from eBay or Amazon since there's the whole price mark-up thing. =(
Expansys and Negri Electronics ships internationally.

I want to buy Nexus 4 asap. Its available only on Google Play for now and only in supported countries, so cant use Expansys/Negri. How do I get notifications on pre-order dates since Google Play is not even cataloguing Nexus 4 in India? and is there a way I can pre-order sitting here in India?
yeah, And I believe that Expansys and Negri both will sell it for more than the Play store as well...
What about the warranty?
Is it international? If so, who pays the shipping costs in case the N4 needs to be sent to LG for repairing ?

Oppo Find 5

Am I right in thinking this very attractive top of the range phone is only available in China?
I'm in China right now and I was wondering if it would be worth my while to buy one to sell when I get back to the UK.
I don't have one and I'm not selling here, but I wonder if you guys could give me an indication of whether there would be any demand for this:
Would you consider buying a brand new Find 5 for a premium?

As far as I'm aware, it's only available in China, for now. I've read on some forums that there may be plans to sell th Oppo Find 5 in the US & Europe, depending on the sales figures in China... (Remember though, these were just RUMOURS!) :fingers-crossed:

It's also officialy available in Thailand though only 16 GB version but it is international version at the price $599
This is not a deal.

Finally Z1 is coming to Thailand

I live in Thailand and have been waiting for Z1 release here. I don't want to import from EU due to high import duty and lack of warranty in case I get defective phone. I just went to Sony Store to see if I could pre-order one. They told me that Z1 will officially launch at Thailand Mobile Expo 2013 from Oct 3~6 and I can pre-order at Sony booth. I'll order mine on very first day Hope it'll come with latest firmware and fix superior auto by the time it is released.
What model that sell in Thailand c6902 or c6903? Thx

It is not clear if they are going to release just one model with LTE or 2 models with and without it. A guy at sony store had no detail info.

are you going to Thailand Mobile Expo 2013 on the first day?? i'm thai. i've been waiting for the z1. i hope it'll be available to buy in the expo not just
for pre-order.
I'm in Thailand, I bought from Clove in the UK and although I paid VAT in Thailand I was exempt from VAT in the UK so actually worked out cheaper even with postage
warranty is a concern but if it comes to the worst I'll post it to Clove
Nice to see Thailand stepping up a little

I don't think we will be waiting too long even if we don't get it on first batch. Thai market is still crazy with galaxy and iphone. I bet many Thai smart phone users don't even know about Z1.

xperia z1 price has been confirmed at 20,990 baht with 3 colors to choose. the price is quite good, i thought it'd be like 22,900 baht. i hope there'll be 4g since 1 web said there was going to be 4g but another web said there won't be.

does that price include taxes etc as it's about 4k cheaper than I bought mine for from the UK when you include delivery and VAT - very good indeed

Reasonable price, cheaper than what I was expecting. I'm going to get purple Never had a purple phone before. LTE...I don't really care much about that. If it is included, well that would be great. If not, no big deal. LTE won't be widely available in Bangkok in a year or two. By that time, we all will be buying new phones anyway.

yep, you can get your device straight away. no pre-order. the page is in facebook https://www.facebook.com/sonyxpth it's in thai though. still not sure if it's 4g or 3g since sony didn't confirm officially, but their sony xp page said so. the old model that was Z and ZU both had seperate version of 3g/4g for sell with difference prices, they might do that again with z1 lol. have to wait for them to confirm officially. i don't really care anyway since i'll still get it. :laugh:

And if you're in North America like me, how would you know if it works here?
I want to place an order too!

I have bought several phones from Clove. They are highly reliable and customer service is excellent. This phone will work almost anywhere globally. It has an extensive list of band coverage. Do you have a GSM carrier? AT&T or T-Mobile? Will not operate on CDMA networks.

Thanks for the info.
Yes I'm with "Rogers Wireless" in Canada, so it should be ok.
Aren't you concerned about what the final price be at Clove?
I mean the difference with what it is now to their final price?
Not at all. Clove is fair with pricing. It will be on par with other outlets. I find that initially, in North America, we have two choices for just launched Sony unlocked phones. Ebay or Clove. Ebay will be first, usually Taiwan or Singapore but Clove is close behind. I trust Clove as stated, made many purchases through them.
Sent from my F8331 using XDA-Developers Legacy app
Yep, Clove and Handtech are both good for unlocked phones from the UK. First time US buyers sometimes have to jump through an extra hoop of two with proving their credit card information. That's normal.
The flip case link in the first post by OP is for the xperia XZ by Roxfit. Do not attempt to buy it for the XZ Premium!
This is the correct case
https://www.clove.co.uk/sony-xperia-xz-premium-scsg10-style-cover-stand
when is the release date of the Xperia XZ Premium ?
Some says that it will be released on 7may, hope it's true
Look at the date on the mobile screen picture on Sony website, you will see 7 may but it could be a coincidence. ..

Thanks for the correction. I must have not read the description properly.
Ive edited the original post.
I just ordered in Taobao,waiting for my XZP
It says though it will not ship to the US? how do you get around that?
UPDATED: Correction i pre ordered the phone, Clove is an impressive site, I'm assuming though,the price which comes to 650.08 US dollars, will be a bit higher but we'll worth it, I know the connectivity possibilities of the 835, doing extensive research, and it will definitely work with our 4g LTE bands here except for CDMA and also will be 5g ready with CAT 12
Amazon UK has it for pre-order now aswell at £649. They also have a release date of 1st June. Doesn't have chrome version so it might be a carrier exclusive here in the UK.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B06X9R8FL8
Unlocked-mobiles.com have both the Luminous Chrome & the Deepsea Black for £639.98 here:-
https://www.unlocked-mobiles.com/sim-free-mobile-phones/sony-xperia-xz-premium-sim-free-p-87511.html
However I think I'm gonna wait until Sony have their pre-order up as they will have the free Sony SRS-XB30 speaker (worth €169)

But I believed it was for the XZS and only in the Netherlands
The XZs comes with free speakers indeed. But only via T-Mobile. Hope the Premium comes with speaker or headphones even if you buy simlock free.

So it looks like the one from Clove will work on all bands in us for AT&T or T Mobile in US. You gain gain fingerprint scanner but loose warranty. Is that correct?
