Have you noticed that expansys have a few in stock, I just wonder how they can justify their price given its £200 more expensive the obtaining the handset from google directly even if you take tax and duty into consideration.
Rip off britain (sos Expansys) in action yet again
My thinking ? when you buy the Nexus from Google you need a Google account, maybe some people do not have that and or do not want a Google account, so by going with Expansys they get the phone, when someone is buying something they should do their research before buying, it is simple and easy free to get a Google account but maybe some don't want to bother.

How would they plan on using the phone without a Google account? As far as I am aware the phone uses a Google account to work. Also why buy the Google phone if you don't want to use Google?
I guess you might just get it a day or so quicker from Expansys than from the USofA...
but that ain't worth that much of an uplift...
'course, punters might not realise you need a Google Account to use the beast... until they get an N1..
Just left a comment on Expansys site advising punters of cheaper direct option... £5 says it never appears!!
Cheers!

left a similar comment, but of course it will be moderated
Don't forget, that Expansys delivers to most of the European countries, where the Nexus One is unavailable, unfortunatelly. I just ordered mine yesterday, since the first one (got from USA) fell down and died.
This is actually pretty similar to the prize i paid to get my nexus to Denmark, Europe.
In Denmark we have 25% tax on everything that ships from outside of Europe, if it gets caught in the border that is(unfortunatly it often does), but if it ships from within the EU there is no tax, so i dont think that this was meant for the US but for all the other countrys that do not have acces to google.com/phone.

I'm suffering, because i cant pre-order this "i think" awesome product..
who else is feeling the same.
Hopefully other retailers will sell these to the countries Google has over looked.
I doubt that there will be many for sale at reasonable prices on Ebay when they first come out.
I'm waiting for this type of tablet, why is the world so divided
Well count me in...
I was watching I/O and as they showed it I got more and more excited. Then they said where it will be available and I wanted to cry :banghead:
sent from my Galaxy Nexus
I want to order nexus 7 but in my country it is not available.
The retail market will sold it much more that the google's price... I think about 300 Euro or more. Will live and see...
Well in my case i used tor to access USA Play and change my shipping address to a mailbox on miami.
I preordered from Norway using my mastercard and an american shipping address that acts as a forwarding address to my Norwegian address. Jetcarrier.com. Ads around 25$.

Did you use a norwegian credit card or how did you get a us-one? I heard only cards issued in US, UK and Canada would be accepted.
Thanks
Tried different cards and Visa was not accepted, maybe because Mastercard is a Google Wallet Partner? Dunno, maybe it was just a glitch. Lets see if anyone else manages to order from an illegal location with a local card.
Well tried to preorder but got the unconfortable message stating that the device is not available in my country and that they are doing their "best" to make it possible as soon as they can. Which is I am guessing by the end of the year for 100 euros more in retail store. I'd really like to have the same price and treatment by buying directly from the play store but no official details on that either... That's complete bs. Why make such a global product so restricted for so many areas. my money ain't green enough I guess.
PS: apparently there are no official confirmations for a launch in Europe yet...
i really don't like that. i planned to instantly order one, because i waited so long for a 7inch tablet that's worth the money.
i'm pissed.
EDIT: probably we find some nice guys here at XDA who can buy and send us those awsome tabs? XDA Marketplace ftw?

I made an account at Borderlinx, they give you an US-Adress where google will send the device first, then they send it to you. I have to pay 280$ to google, and about 370 total, thats about 300 Euro which is not cheap but ok i guess.

For info, I just read on a french tech news site that Asus will distribute the Nexus 7 through it's own network (but no date announced yet) !
So we should find it in stores outside US / UK
I was about to pre-order my Nexus 7 (16gb) from the Play store when I saw the total of $280! I live in California, and was really expecting no sales tax, and cheaper shipping. Possibly an option for longer, but cheaper shipping? I don't want to sound like the annoying, unsatisfied customer. I'm merely wondering, will the tablet hit stores in the US? I know the Uk will be getting the 16gb ones the end of July in stores, but couldn't find anything on the US. This would avoid the $14 shipping costs, and would also allow me to make an easier return if something was wrong.
Thanks
Well dont forget since you pre-order it directly from google, they do give you subscription to magazine, 1 free movie and 25$ in the play store.
So in the end, that shipping cost is really not that bad since they make up for it.
Engadget just came out with a story stating that Gamestop will carry the device. They will even give in-store credit if you trade or sell them a tablet.

I wouldn't say NO chance. It WAS up for preorder on the Gamestop site (has since been removed) so I assume there's a possibility that other places will sell it. They might all only sell the 16GB model though since the profit margin on the 8GB version might be too low to bother.
Also, the Gamestop website (when it was up) showed the preorder release date as 7/31/2012 so if you preorder from Google's Play store, and they do release it mid-July like they said, you're paying a little more to get it early which some people don't mind.
Ebuyer.com are taking preorders on the 16gb £199 with free shipping works out cheaper than it does on the google site.
Im guessing that soon other shops/sites will also have it available for preorder soon

If Gamestop has taken down their page it's probably to fix something, I'm sure they'll bring it back later. Also, generally within a few months other companies should start carrying the device, like they did with the Galaxy Nexus. Lastly, you guys should considering that if you do buy from the Play Store, yes you do get charged 13.99$ for shipping, however for 2 day shipping that is incredible, and given the fact that when purchased through the Play Store you get 25$ store credit to purchase apps, books, movies, etc + the magazine subscriptions they bundle for free, I say it's worth it.
on the play store google says
"Sign in to your Google Play account and we'll give you $25 of credit to spend in the Play store, as well as some great free content."
what exactly is this free content? I know the transformers movie is one of them (which i honestly don't care about), and I've heard something about magazines

I believe that is the free content, the magazines and the movie.
Also I just took a second look at the cnet article I linked to and it appears that yes Gamestop will also include these freebies and credit. Although I don't know how they'll implement it.

It's probably automatically given to every account that activates a Nexus 7 tablet for like all of July and August or whatever range of time that pick. That's my guess since it seems Gamestop purchases also get the free content.

I read all the fine print in the google play store when the page was published and im 100 percent sure i read in re: to 25 dollar credit that it was only valid for purchases made from the play store, so unless gamestop is ordering from the play store or something which seems crazy then it would appear there is no credit for orders from them, although i wouldnt be suprised if google didnt argue with someone and gave you a 25 dollar credit if you asked about it.

Maybe that's why the Gamestop page was pulled for like half a down before coming back up. They had the wrong information.
Talked to a Google Rep last night while trying to cancel my 8gb for a 16. I asked him if I'd still get the $25 and he said yes, but only from the play store and only before it hits stores, though he didn't give me a deadline. I assume its sometime in the next 3 weeks.

Yea plus I got £9.05 on quidco @ 5% so I will be paying a touch over £180
I can't believe its $280 to Cali! Its only $263 to Hawaii. Generally I'm used to sucking up and forking over extra shipping for Hawaii, but for whatever reason it was relatively cheap.
Unless you want to pick it up at a gamestop or find it through another retailer, i wouldn't expect to find it much cheaper.

T-Mobile is promoting the same unlocked version of the phone, and I'm pretty sure they will sell it unlocked and off contract in stores also, but then again, I don't know what the price will be since you will be in a "T-Mobile store" and they can slap any price tag on an off contract "T-Mobile" phone that is promoted through their network.
It's been predicted around $ 500.00
You are better off in Google Play Store
negri electronics has it on pre-order, they don't know when they'll ship though
price is $100 more than play store. seems to be the only option for anyone outside usa/canada at the moment
Thanks for your help, folks I can order off play store as I'm in the UK, but I'm visiting the US next week and the play store US dollar prices work out less than the UK prices, so I was hoping I could nab a bargain in store

I just called Google Play support and the guy said that they have "no information" right now. He told me to enter my email in the NOTIFY ME place on the Play store, which I had done a long time ago....
Basically, I would say a few weeks.
I hope they can fill orders before the end of the month so I can drop sprint before my next billing cycle starts. Looks like T-mobile wants $500 for one off contract so thats another option.

I'm not really sure what this is worth but I called Google Play customer service earlier today ~10:30am PST and was told that they were sold out. The rep said they expect more in 3-4 days and to "keep checking the website" and enter my email to be notified (yeah, right).
So given the reports of people being able to still order some N4s well into the evening, I don't know how informed that rep was. It sounded like it was just their own personal, optimistic guess. Hopefully, it's not "weeks" like was stated on Google+ earlier.
A Google employee said 3 days, maybe 2 now?

And tmobile wants me to give them $200 + tax down and $15 a month for 20 months. adds up to $499 + tax. Way more expensive than the Play Store which with taxes and shipping and the Bumper case cost to $420 And did I mentioned that the one from the Play Store is unlocked. And the one for tmobile is locked

Google is eating like $200 - $300 per phone... The MSRP for this phone should be $500 - $600 for the 16GB just like the GS3, Note etc.
T-Mobile can't eat the difference the way Google or Amazon can.

I think you are wrong! An non removable battery and no sd card slot those two have to lower the price of the phone. The phones gets more expensive depending how many adds you ad on it. 1.3MP front camera thats another cheaper add. 16GB is another cheaper add. no LTE is cheaper
If this phone have those features. Removable battery, sd card slot, 32GB, 2.0MP front camera, LTE. ETC then it should be $500 - $600 But it doesnt. The only feature google put it there that should cost money is the quad-core. Thats why google is not selling the phone expensive because its not worth it. And T-Mobile by selling this phone that high their wrong. They are comparing the price to others phone that have those features,
I'm just guessing but if people are getting "on back order" emails stating that they should be shipping in 3 weeks, that's probably when the next batch will be available. I hope that's all but who knows...
Im currently using a nexus 5. My screen is broken pretty badlyand and my headphone jack is failing. I really like the specs of the force/turbo. I'm on ATT so I would need to go force. I'd also like to get the force so I can root. But I'm haveing a hard time finding the phone on the market though. Is there anyone in the US that is using the force? If so where did you end up buying it from? Are you enjoying it?
You can get one from Mexico. I've got mine from UK because I went to EU for holidays. I'm really enjoying it. The best Android phone I ever had and the first one I'm using at is. No bl unlock, no root. Strange feeling
Usually I'm unlcoking and flashing custom rom max few days, max one month after purchase.
Did you order from the Motorola EU online store or did you buy it in person somewhere? I looked at the Mexico Motorola store today but it looks like they will only ship to Mexico. Need Google translator to confirm though.

I won it on ebay auction. Few shops from UK selling it too. Jaocagomez can help you to get one from Mexico.
I'm still in Europe (Budapest) on business trip and flying back to San Jose on February 6. Maybe you can order here and I can bring to you. Not sure is it good idea
Thanks, but I'd rather purchase it so it ships directly to me. No middle man hasels.
I did confirm Motorolas Mexico site will only ship to Mexico.
Hunting around I feel like the phone has not been released yet. I know its going to be released in India in February but from the news articals I read the phone was released in november, yet most webistes say preorder or coming soon. Did I miss something? Even some ebay listings reflect this. Unless you want to spend 900$+.

A you wish. I wasn't sure should I offer you help or not, take responsibility, etc.
I saw one on swappa and another one on ebay, both USA sellers but prices was really bad. One from Ebay sold for $810!? Then I've checked sites from the link I posted and contacted them. If you're buying from USA then is without VAT but you're importing it in USA so you have to pay duty, tax and maybe stuck at border to get permission for importing uncertified device.
@BladeRunner could you share details how much you paid all together and did you have any problems at border. Would be really useful info for everyone.

Thanks for looking into this so much guys!
With my gears a turning the past couple of days I think im going to hold off though. Id really like to buy straight from motorola. That way if I have any issues I can just deal with them directly. That and I gain the ability to cusomize the phone if I order through them.
Im being optamistic I know but the phone was listed on Mexico's site on Monday and just noticed it was listed for Brazil today. So you never know.
This is definatly a good thread to keep alive incase others are interested like Makiger.
So I thought I would try and do an "over the phone" order to see if there was anything special they could do. Sadly this was unsuccessful. But the agent I spoke with did say something that may be intreeging to some. It honestly could mean nothign or it could mean real soon. Who knows?
Jessel: Oh, I do apologize for that. As of the moment, this Moto X Force is not yet available on our webiste. What I can suggest is to visit third party vendors and see if they already have Moto X Force available here in the US. We looking forward to this phone to be available soon.

I think that agent doesn't have a clue what he's talking He's just repeating generic phrase. Turbo 2 is exclusive for Verizon. Do you really think that Moto can offer basically the same device in US and brake exclusive contract with Verizon?
Don't get me wrong, I would like that Moto didn't even make Turbo 2, just Force globally.

you can buy from the UK, it just takes a while to get it.
A listing just popped up on India Amazon a little early for the rumored release date..

PSA:
If you do buy from Clove Technology - or any overseas store - and you're paying with PayPal, make sure to change their default currency conversion to use your credit card's exchange rate instead.
Just priced the phone (Jan 29, 2016) as £431.83 shipped to me in the USA. According to XE.com, that's $613.78 USD with a conversion rate of 1 USD = 0.703554 GBP.
PayPal was giving me a rate @ 1 USD = 0.678425045 GBP, which would make the cost $636.52 USD, or an increase of $22.74, which is a full tank of gas for me.
Good Experience With Handtec
I got mine from Handtec UK (Sorry, can't post a link)
It arrived today in Louisiana from FedEx and it only took about 2 days to get here. No problems with customs or VAT whatsoever. All in all, it cost me around $625 (Used PayPal at Checkout), including shipping. Other than the UK wall plug it came with, I'm very satisfied so far.
