I'm thinking of selling my nexus one soon. Just want to know if any of you or anyone that you know of has sold their n1 and for how much. Ebays prices for new ones are in the $600's and used ones I haevent seen below $500. Just not too sure if people are crazy about those prices since u can buy direct from google for the same.
People are idiots frankly, I don't understand it either.
Google doesn't ship worldwide. So if you don't live in the US or UK you are SOL. Hence inflated prices on the bay.

There's even someone bidding (currently £280 odd) on a 'Nexus One' being sold by a new eBay account (no feedback) from China...
Lunacy...
I've seen used ones selling for more than buying new but like someone said it's because some countries can't order direct from Google.
Which is why I got my American friend to buy it for me since I live in Canada...

Hello guys Im new to this Touch HD forum and I want one BAD...I found one Cheap from a company in China & I would like to know has anybody else bought one from China? Its unlocked and they said it will work with T-Mobile.
The best price I have heard on Touch HD is around $720 + Shipping to the US from resellers in UK. Nothing from China... if I were you, I will not throw away my money from a seller in a country where it is not released yet, and has a cheaper price.
Again, just my thought... Its your money and your deal.
I live in China. Tell me the name of the company and give a link and I'll check it out. My first impression though is no way. THe touch hd is not officially released here yet so the only way to legally get them is to have them shipped from Hong Kong and they are expensive ($800 US), so I doubt that some company in China would be getting them from abroad and then shipping them to you cheaper than someone like handtec who is getting them directly from HTC in Europe....
1. Like everything in life, if it's too good to be true, it usually is. If this chinese company is indeed reputable, then go ahead. But be warned with the risks involved in importing goods, you have to be prepared to assume all risks and liabilities (warranty, shipping problems, fraud, etc). From my view as of Dec 8, 2008, HTC Touch HD is still pre-order only in many shops and sells for about $800 to $900 due to high demand.
2. Unlocked GSM phones will work with any GSM carriers, that's the nature of being 'unlocked'. However, the downside is that they're usually not subsidized by the GSM carrier and thus more expensive. A trade off between flexibility and cost. For me, the flexibility of being able to use any GSM card when I travel abroad outweighs the cost.

define cheap? before shipping, mine was approximately $670.00 US from Clove Technology. even at today's exchange rate (around 1.50 dollars for each GBP), $700 from a reputable reseller is the best price you'll get. i've seen US retailers selling for as much as $840 and that doesn't include shipping!
Ok update ...Ive now Got a contact in the USA that I can get the phones from Cheap, and when I say cheap I mean under 400.00 shipped to your door.Im registered to get them wholesale...this is where Ebayers probably get them from to re-sell for a big profit .Im gonna be joining you guys soon I hope
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 $850.
It is officially sold in the UK (which is EU member I believe), so why don't you just forward shipment from there?
It wont take more than extra 50-80$..

interesting, how does that work?
do i owe taxes for the import from USA to UK? Or just for the end destination?
You can buy it here in the UK from play.com, but at a mere £600 its a rip off!
I live in australia and have my nexus - just use a shipping forwarder and a proxy program and buy the phone from google.com/phone.
instructions here:
http://whirlpool.net.au/wiki/?tag=Google_Phone
I used comGateway, was very quick and all that.
def picking one up on att 3g
Carphone Warehouse are a bloody rip-off
If it's available in the US for $529, then why do we have to pay £549 (~$860) for it?
That's not the case for other phones since their prices are usually fair.
Will there be any other place to buy it in the future? I really hope they would put back the webstore so i could just order it from the US and deliver it here like I did with the N1.
Damn, that sucks! Maybe it was just a mistake? You could always try ebay though.
£550 for this phone is a joke. I though Apple is premium not Samsung/Google. Now we have a price considerably over iPhone 4 or anything on the market. No thanks, Google.
I agree, I was shocked when I saw the UK pricing.
I guess I'm lucky I'm off to San Francisco today and will pick one up from Best Buy on launch.

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 just looked up on ebay and found It. Since I'm not allowed to post outside links, you guys can go search yourself, it should pop up at around 4th or 5th place. Those $999 ones were ripoff.
Additional info: it's unlocked and sold in TX, US

Its a korean version.
Oh sh*t.
Sucker buyer... in 2 weeks retail with retail backer behind it for $600-650.
Who sucks? I'm not gonna buy it, just let you guys know that it's sold here and there.
It's a figure of speech. The person that bought it - not you - is a sucker for paying that much.
Okay. I also thought 739 was a bit high. Should wait a little more for amazon.
It's a pre sale. They aren't even shipping until the end of the month at the earliest.
Of course wait... $600-650 retail & you can buy from a retailer that will stand behind it like Amazon or Best Buy.
