Well, look on the bright side, your tax was only $14.
Mine was $47... (Damn California tax)
I paid $572 in total (minus $160 when I sold my G1 )
pfffttt
i live in canada, bought the n1 the day it came out Jan5th, paid the full amount in USD, had it shipped to NYC to afriend, he shipped it to me for about 15 bucks, then i paid about 95 dollars in duties.
i then just sold that n1 for 450 bucks CAD today, and i just received my at&t/rogers n1 which was 557 USD plus 76 CAD in duties.
the things i do for google....
you guys are nuts.
I just stole mine from a student sleeping on the bus. So much easier.

Oh man, after using for only like 5 minutes I can already tell I'm going to love this phone.
The haptic buttons are a little annoying but I am getting better, it just takes time to know how to press them. The screen is amazing. Typing is unbelievable. I didn't think I'd be able to type with my thumbs so soon but it came out perfect. The autocorrect/suggest is amazing.
I'm sure I will encounter problems but this first impression is very positive.
HI guys
I just got mine in Richmond,BC.
GST/PST =64.20
Brokerage = 7.00
Total = 71.55 cad
Phone only w shipping = 556.16 US
So at the end around $639 cad total.
Hey did you guys already pay the $70+ tax? I got mine today, and the guys from DHL didnot ask for money, I saw a paper that came with the box says there is a $71.77 duty but doesn't say how to pay it.
The one that came to my door said that I couldn't get the package if I didn't pay. I am going to call them to see exactly how this charge was calculated. Meaning the reason behind it, since it is proportionate to the value.
They basically charge gst+pst on the Canadian equivalent of $529USD plus $7 brokerage fee. Not half bad. I paid $529US straight up when my buddy was in the US. Didn't get charged tax or shipping to Connecticut. Too bad it was the AWS version. Water under the bridge, have my Rogers 3G working and loving it. One down side is typing isn't as good as my iPhone 3GS but not a deal breaker. Itching to get HTC sense on it but think I'll wait til everything works. My new favorite toy
BTW, you lucked out if dhl didn't charge you. They most likely end up picking up the bill (-$7 brokerage fee anyways)
Few question if i mah
how is your reception guys? Any drop calls? 3g/wifi same or betta then iphone? I am about to order nexus1 but cant afford to miss any calls or 3g.

If you buy an EVO 4g off craigslist for the price they are selling them for, you deserve it. I think it'd be cheaper to buy it on a new line for 199.99 and take the ETF.. LOL
all the ones around the atlanta area were for around $650... I think I can wait a week and get mine for $199.
However, I can't say it didn't cross my mind to bust out my check book.
I wish I could just put myself into a cryogenic sleep for 10 days.
... on a side note, that might be the nerdiest, most pathetic thing I've ever said.
There's more of a cost than just ETF, taxes, etc...
I got mine pretty cheap, cheaper than the $199 cost + ETF, so for me anyway I won at your logic..
Plus if you get one of the I/O phones, you get an extra $10 off your monthly cost (which they don't list it as a year or two year thing either...) because it's a dev phone.

people paying like 6bills heck even 7 are the dumb ones..
Someone here in Orange County was selling his boyfriend's for 350, he said he got it for a tech blog to review and just needed to get rid of it. Don't think they knew how much it really was worth. D;

$199 + ETF is not less than $199.
I myself am going a route that is not to be discussed on this forum... but I don't want to buy a phone for $450 + Taxes (around here it's roughly 10%), so in the end it'd have been close to $500. So instead of that, I paid less than $400 with a free month of service (including 4g, and the option to go the dev plan route later).
But yes, $600-700 is too much, but there's a decent amount of people out there with more money than time. Just like Wii, iPhone, etc.
I paid 500 for mine straight up, new in box. After having it a week I will say it was worth every penny! This is the device I have been waiting for all my life.
i'm excited for the phone, but you guys are like fiending for it... the device you've been waiting for all your life?
I got mine for $500. It is out for delivery right now. The anticipation is killing me!
None listed for my area but I can wait some people are flipping out to get it early

Same here. I'm not remotely eligible for upgrade yet, so I'd be paying $450 + tax for it anyway. $500 for the phone and getting in on the $10 off via the Google I/O dev deal is worth it!
my total came out to 244 without tax... i quickly when through it then noticed this in my paypal billed amount... shouldnt it be more around 300 plus tax? it didn't even charge me tax... should i do something about this like call dell? or just enjoy the fact that i paid less for it then im supposed to?
Whats you location? US or UK?
US and it didnt even charge me tax
Did you get a student discount?
Tax free weekend?
Does it have to do with tax free weekend? google it
no tax free weekend where i live was a week or so ago... maybe a glitch...
If you've paid less and the device gets delivered and is ok don't say anything to Dell or anyone else!
They wouldn't be chasing you if you'd paid them too much!
ull have to send it back ....
so i should just keep it as is and only do anything if dell contacts me? sounds good! i was initially kindof angry about havin to pay 300+ for it but now its only 30 or some odd dollars than the iphone, that i almost got out of annoyance waiting for dell to release in the US. pretty sweet!
so... tell us how you did it!
i went through hell last night trying to order one over the phone, ended up canceling the order cuz the rep had no clue what he was doing!
do you have an epp account?
hello,
I just received my streak last night. I like it so far....it big but not too big.
When I ordered it, I used my epp account (employee purchase program). I received 10% off of the 549 and then I renewed my contract so there was another 250 taken off.
That is a total of 305 so you would be right at the 244 number. I did pay tax since im in Texas but if you are not in a state Dell does business, you should not pay tax... I think.
So... if you work for a company with an EPP agreement figure out how to get access.
good luck!
Ahh ok, i just ordered mine total was $265.20
Was $244.99 after the 10% EPP discoutn + $20.21 TAX
in texas as well
now i have to wait for it to come
oh ya that makes sense i dont live in texas so no tax needed... just like ebay and other online sites. And my mothers company gets most of their computers and printers from dell i used the same computer that she uses to order(her internet is more secure goin through the companies servers/or something) could the dell site have recognized this? and given me an extra discount?

Yeah you got the EPP (10% off the full price, not the subsized price) so 549.99 - 54.99 = 495.00 then minus the 250 brings it to 245.00
I'm not a big fan of contracts so I tend to pay full price. I'm a retired Marine and was on aafes.com and found the Streak for 495.00 in stock, no tax and free shipping. I jumped right on it.
apparently tmobile has decided to put the vibrant on sale today only for $99 on their website. Too bad i bought mine 2 weeks ago, maybe i can return it and buy it again. just thought the people who hadnt bought theirs yet would like to know
Man, that's dirty.... good job T-Mobile, jokes on all of us that bought the device on launch!
I bought mine a couple of weeks ago at Wal-Mart for $99.
this is pretty ****ing retarded. i'm not amused.
$249.99 + tax + $18 upgrade fee = $289 - $50 MIR = $239
and now its $126 after tax and upgrade fee? wow, great, i just wasted $113. thanks tmo!
I got mine last week through the American Legion for $99 with a new contract.

i can't get a price for the upgrade, like i called tmobile directly and was like, i'm within my 14 day buyers remorse, what can you do for me? and they were like, nothing, you're already a tmobile customer, we have you by your nuts and we have an iron monkey grip on them.*

this bs and then the whole deal where if you bought from tmobile, then took it back and tried to buy it at walmart or costco, you couldnt do it because only a tmobile employee can do an "override" to "undo" the upgrade you used to upgrae the phone (that you returned) is just really unfortunate for them.
i'm not going anywhere and i like my phone, i just think its kinda crappy that this keeps happening.
Now we all learned a lesson. Wait at least a month after launch to see if there is going to be a deal before buying. In my case, my G1 was bricked and I was using a regular phone for almost 2 months. Couldn't take it anymore so I bought the Vibrant on launch.
Amazon's had the phone for $99 since launch

For new contract, yes; but not for upgrade. At launch anyways, dunno if they changed it now for upgrades.
At least as of a few minutes ago, Amazon has it for $149 for upgrades, $.01 for new lines.
Apparently you guys don't shop around. Here is a free one: http://www.letstalk.com/promo.htm?devicePrId=37335
Even when they just released the phone, I still got it for $50. And I am not even a new Tmobile customer.
I don't think I will ever pay more than $100 for any phone. If you look at the market trends, that price rarely lasts over a month or so.
Anyway, good luck.
Anyone ever seen the commercials for this site? I've seen them a lot late night so o figured for fun, I'd check what a basically perfect Nexus One was worth...
http://www.gazelle.com/catalog/cell...ate[checked_ids][]=calculator_answers_248_531
What a rip! They offer you $59 for a Nexus One in great condition with all original accessories.
You can still get upwards of $180 on eBay..
Just felt like posting this, I thought that was outrageous.
Agreed. They probably sell it back through ebay making at least double the amount.

It is outrageous. Especially because if you look on ebay, they sell extensively there. They also are always the ones charging the greatest prices or highest minimums on ebay.
They're like GameStop for phones. They might as well be called PhoneStop.
Just playing Devil's Advocate here a bit as I do agree, $59 is outrageously low *BUT* when my contract came up with AT&T a few months back, I bought a white iPhone 4 32gb to sell on Ebay and had to relist 3 TIMES before I got a successful bid. One of which I actually sent the device out, Paypal revoked payment and I had to get UPS to intercept the phone that was already 'out for delivery'.. by the time it was all said and done, I sold the phone for $250 over what I payed for it, but after the 1st shipping fiasco, getting eaten alive by Ebay's fees, and just the general pain in the ass, I made like $50.. I will never use Ebay again. So, long story short, if I wanted an easy, painless transaction I just might take that $59 and be done with it.. but i would never sell my N1 anway

yeah ebay is my last resort if craigslist fails me I might try gazelle in the future, just maybe if other people havent sold on ebay before, here it goes someone bids an auction for X dollars the paypal that their cut for providing the transaction then ebay towards the end of the month then bills you a precentage of what you sold. Ebay is great for buyers but if your not moving bulk it kinda sucks to sell there I typically will overcharge on shipping so that I dont lose much and shouldnt I be paid to drive this thing to the UPS store anywhos

For someone that lives in the US and had a decent phone [Note 2], it makes very little sense to me why you'd go to ebay for the Nexus 4.
Just wait a little dude, and you'd save yourself even more money.
They reason I did the deal is because I make money buying and selling phones and also I have an Int s3 and a backup Note 2...I have alot of people here where Im from who wants the Nexus 4 and will pay top dollar...I usually buy every phone that comes out and maybe keep them for a month at the longest and resell for something else...its a hobby...I already got a sell for my nexus 4 for 650...bcuz like me people dont wanna wait 4 weeks or more for a phone...sorry if you guys dont understand I myself like to try out every phone instead of being on here saying this phone is better or that phone is better...I just try them all...maybe ill find a phone worth sticking with but I enjoy all of them...but once again its just something I like to do and its a hobby sorry if I offended some of you...just was stating a deal I got...

I have never understood why eBay brings high prices. Some people just get in bidding process and feel urge to bid more.
Just all comes down to how bad someone wants the product .
And someone's phone might have broke,water damage etc and they cannot wait 4-5 weeks. They need a phone in 1-2 days.
So lots of factors why someone would pay $650 for a $400 phone ($350 plus 5-10% sales taxes plus $13 shipping).
And some people either are afraid of craigslist or just live in an area where there aren't a lot of craigslist sales.

Minus your $60 ebay fee, minus $20 paypal fees, minus $10-15 in shipping to the winner of the auction, means you netted $555. Meanwhile the guy that sold it on CL for $520, netted $520 and didn't have to deal with running an auction, or shipping an item out. Seems like a lot of extra work for $35.
You are insane. You said you sold your Note 2 but you have a backup note 2? WTF!? Who has money to waste like this. I'd much rather wait for the phone and pay $350 than way over retail. Yes those other phones are high priced but that's what they set them for retail. The Nexus 4 is better but was set at much lower retail and I'm not willing to pay over retail. I don't have $600 to go waste on a phone.

Im a business man and dont have time to wait on phones from google...money and time dont wait on no one neither will I...but once again this is what I do buy sell trade phones...
you guys bought your nexus to keep and hold...not me...I bought it because i wanted to try it out and sell it for the next big thing...like i said in my first post phones are a hobby for me....i get bored with the same phone after about a month...so thats why I buy sell and trade i love the new experience....hope u guys understand that everyone has something they like to do or something their good at....phones is just my thing man...just look at my previous device list thats only from a couple of months ago and I didnt list everything just got tired of typing like now lol...
If you're asking if we would have done the same, the majority of us would answer no. People are calling you crazy because you were willing to pay a huge premium; you don't necessarily have to agree with them if you're happy with your decision since it's your money and your phone at the end of the day.

You can do whatever you want with your money -- I just can't believe that you got a 8GB Nexus 4 for $500 (intending to keep it and buy accessories with the $100 "profit") to changing your mind and finding a buyer in your network (without phone in-hand) for $150 more, all within 20 minutes.
I think your business model and obsession with phones no matter the premium makes no sense, but to each his own.
