[Q] G2 launch in Germany? - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone know any release dates for the G2 in Germany? Last news I saw was some pre-order price drop down but that was on August 22th, and for some reason the 32GB version didn't get the drop (at least the pre-order version at my store).
It's been a month in pre-order state already and it's killing me so much I'm almost willing to get a Z1 instead (which has been available since 2 weeks ago).
Thanks

I live in Switzerland and I'm also waiting for it. I only know the release in France which will be between the next two weeks, so we may expect it as well (hopefully?)

It should be out since 30th september. But actually... it isn't. If the Nexus 5 is available earlier I'll go for it.

You can get it from amazon.de for €499, in stock now.

Yeah, but only the 16GB version. I'm not sure if that's enough for me so I'm waiting for the 32GB version.

In switzerland we can get it mid-october, in germany it could be around the same time. (32GB)
If you live in Germany, you could buy the 16GBv at amazon from billiger de, they told me it is available from stock.

Weird, the 16GB still shows in pre-order everywhere here. And again, not sure if 16GB is enough for me, so I guess I'll wait it out a bit and see if the 32GB version gets its price lowered as well (16GB went from 600 -> 500, 32GB still at 630).
I live in Portugal, but usually order tech stuff from Germany since it's cheaper and some shops ship internationally. Haven't been able to find better international shops elsewhere (Swiss ones I found don't ship here for example).
At any rate, thanks for the ETA.

[INFO] News on "rest" of Europe availability?

Besides UK and Italy, no other european country has received the Transformer. It is listed on Amazon.fr and Amazon.de, but no date, just "available soon".
My hunch is it will be available on the second week of May, but does anyone have reliable data?
Acording with the oficial twitter account of Asus Spain, the Transformer will be available in Spain in the mid June.

If you don't mind paying by bank transfer these guys will deliver outside of the UK.

Yes, but in my case I prefer to wait a little bit, because I want the Spanish keyboard.

You can always buy the Keyboard later...
I've sent an e-mail to anvika. Are they trust worthy? Thanks psinno.

I have no experience using them. I assume so since Asus UK mentioned them having stock on Facebook.
Btw, I think the UK is off today and Monday so they may be slow responding.
You're right, I forgot. Marriages are never a nice thing
Hi,
I ordered one to be delivered from microanvika to Czech Republic, I will let you know if something go wrong.
Listed as late may and late june respectively for wifi and 3g in Switzerland
Asus Finland emailed me that currently the likely release date over here is June.
Nordics largest electronics net store, verkkokauppa.com said week ago that their estimate is also June for the tablet and scandic keyboard.
Dunno why verkkokauppa.com doesn't have it on preorder yet. :-/
micro anvika has informed me that they ran out of stcok while proccessing the queue of orders, so I canceled my order there.
in Switzerland, stegpc will have some available items since 23 may. Nevertheless, the release date has already been shifted from 5 may to 23 may, so it may be shift again.

Got the same reply from them: 2-3 weeks till in stock.
For the Benelux (Belgium, Netherlands and Luxemburg) the expected availability is the first week of june (Belgium a few weeks later), but that's only for the tablet-part. The docking will be available in July. This is confirmed by Asus Benelux on FB.

Unlucky,I guess they didn't have much stock available. Mine is on its way to me.
Carphone warehouse Ireland had some stock last week but unfortunately their staff weren't very clued in to this fact when I checked in with them on Thursday. Seems like only the Grafton Street guys knew about it. They were selling them for €399 but have upped the price to €430 now. More info in the boards.ie thread for any Irish people interested.
Any further news regarding the availability in Europe? Specifically Benelux.
I am looking forward to get my hands on this device with the docking.

PS. I'm hoping to get one before the end of June, so I can take it with me on holiday!
Well, I saw this the other day, and at first I thought it was an official Asus Page...
http://portatilasus.es/product.php?id_product=1741
Now I think it's not an asus official web. Anyway, it says the transformer would be avaiable in Spain on May, 21th.
I haven't seen it anywhere (neither b&m store nor a web one). I have played with the Acer on a b&m shop, but no news of the transformer...
Regards.
Fnac France have the 16 GB + dock, 32 GB, 32 GB + dock in stock right now.
Estimated availability in BENELUX?
Thanks

October 4th, but think it was Germany that might get it later this month.
C'mon, why so late? It can become obsolete due to incoming new Nexus or SGS4 I9506

Its a great piece of hardware, mine was delivered yesterday morning, worth the wait!!
My 32gb is supposed to ship on the 30th of this month. In Norway.

Not a single **** for Europe

All you in U.S. and U.K. talking about preorders. What about Europe? Motorola support in Europe is crappy. And probably we will not see Nexus 6 before Januar 2015. Can someone tell me, when will be Nexus 6 in stores in Austria?
I can't wait anymore. I will buy Note 4 instead...

UK here, we're all in the same boat brother.
Run Motorola, run faster from Google to Lenovo. Lenovo will care about European buyers. But i cannot confirm, that Motorola will be so good as now.
Some norwegian stores are taking preorders. Dustin Home has the 64GB version with delivery status for 10th November and 32GB for 20th November (this date appeared today). Some other stores list just "November" too.
Proshop.no has them from listed for 1st November, but I contacted them and they said that this date is not confirmed.
And Price is 649 and 699€?
This is killing me, beacuse there you can buy Note 4 for 630€ for 32GB version.
http://www.gsmarena.com/nexus_6_might_have_been_delayed_in_europe-news-10081.php
**** you Motorola! Hope at least that price will be start with 569€.....
The majority of the people attempting to get one couldn't so don't feel so bad. Sat around all day and didn't even get the option to add to cart

Availability in Hong Kong

Dear All,
There seems to be no news on the availability of the 6P for Hong Kong. Anyone have any news on the availability for HK.
Thanks.

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.

I think Nexus 5 was available in Hong Kong, because i saw a friend had one the other week (old one) and he said he bought it from Fortress

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.

Grey Version

This launch is so crape on so many levels when on earth will it be possible to get the grey one in the UK or am I better off ordering one from Germany etc?
How are we supposed to know?
Ordering from amazon should be fairly safe in terms of return policy etc, but they don't have it in stock yet either, so I'm not sure how much that helps. I also wouldn't pay significantly more just for the chance of getting it a bit earlier.
I don't suppose you plan a trip to Germany because Saturn Germany has the grey version available online but they are only shipping inside Germany so I let it ship to a store in Passau and am getting it today.
I picked mine up today aswell from Saturn Passau.
Here to confirm availability. Just picked up my grey Axon I ordered on 04.09 at Saturn Germany.
Sometimes I wish I didnt live in the uk get crap everything.
I live in the Netherlands and just ordered a gray Axon 7 at Media Markt Germany because I also couldn't wait for a (not even confirmed) release in The Netherlands. I used a site called mailboxde.com to ship the phone to one of their deposit boxes in Germany and they will then ship it to my house. I read overwhelmingly possitive reviews about this service so I have high hopes I won't be screwed. I will keep you updated when I do indeed receive my phone. Maybe if Mailboxde proves to be reliable it will be a valid option for you too.
