Yes it's a shame that the globalized Google decided to sell N1 in USA and GB only...available in the rest of Europe in the spring...
Really I can't understand why after cloning iPhone customization (and not only...) Google decided also to clone the commercial strategy of the earliest Iphone 2G...Soon Apple realized that there were more iphone in Europe than in USA LOL!!!
Now how to get one in Italy? Who want to buy one for me...
THX in advance!

What about the activation button? Does anyone know if there is some kind of activation that binds the phone to the google account from where it is bought (or is this button only for the t-mobile phone)?
Is there anything else to consider before buying it (except the high price) from ebay and using it in Europe?

Thanx for your answer.
I checked ebay and it would cost about 250$ over the real price. Really too much.
no, it only binds it to your google checkout account, not your gmail account.
so you will be able to activate it where you are
It may suck but different markets get different phones at different times. I don't know how many times I have seen a really cool phone only to discover that it will never hit the shores here in the US. This time it worked out that we got the phone.
I guess it comes down to you win some you loose some.

Yes maybe you are right...but not considering a whole market like europe...like italy, where people go on purcheasing technology also in a bad economic period, would be an error!
Let me get one first. Then I can get into shipping out of country. I own an IT business and I have create multiple google accounts under that and perhaps get 5 for each account I make up. I want to make sure the phone can be activated etc before I start ordering phones that may not work later (screwing me and screwing others).

That means you have to activate it with the same checkout acc that buys the phone or just that you have to activate it with an us, uk, .. account?

I believe 'activation' refers only to if you are just starting a new wireless plan. if you already have a SIM card, it should work right away, I think. someone please correct me if I'm wrong

I'm also in Italy at the moment and I have mine on the way only I don't know if my method would work for you. I'm stationed in Sicily for the time being and I used a site called shipitapo.com. Not sure if this site would work for you but I'm willing to bet there is something similar. As for the purchasing part I just went to google checkout and setup my account so all the information was already in the system, including shipping address and credit card. Then I had my brother who is in the states log into my google account and purchase it for me. He just had to click a couple of links and because everything was already setup. Now its on the way. hopefully you can find something similar. Might be able to use a US proxy to be able to log into you google account and purchase it.
@SpiersA
good idea! I should need a brother, and in usa! About shipitapo.com, it's because Google won't ship it abroad?
Well, according to the iPhone wiki there are 6.4 million iPhones (of 33 million total) in the US alone. Considering Google is an American company, and the App Marketplace had first purchasing support in the US as well, it makes sense to distribute a handset with this much probably popularity in the areas that are easier to support first. Not to mention they partnered with T-Mobile US (an existing partner) for subsidized handset sales and will likely get a huge bump in volume just from that alone.
I have to agree with the earlier comment about how often I've seen really nice phones only to have them never show up in the US (or after they've already become quite out of date). It's nice having top-tier phones start in the US first and then move out from here. A truly global launch with so many new moving parts at once (new hardware, new version of the OS that might not be fully localized yet, thousands of market apps that still don't work with the DROID, etc) would be a total nightmare and make no sense at all.
And yesss...I found how to place an order from all over the world. Just placed mine from Italy. It has been easy...I will reveal it ad soon as I get shipping confirmation!

Hi,
If I buy Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 from US, let say from Amazon.com ... and use it in EU (The Netherlands).
Does it mean that I own US version? Meaning, I can then download apps that are only available in US ...
Or Google Market will smart enough to detect based on my Google checkout account which is based on EU ...
Anyone in EU bought and use Android device from US?
I am also concern with the software updates, because Samsung is very active and good with software update here in EU (see news about Gingerbread 2.3.4 for Galaxy S phones). Or my concern should not be because the Galaxy tab 10.1 from Amazon / BestBuy is full retail directly from Samsung and not via carriers.
Thanks
I bought a WIFI only Xoom from US and i can access US Market using US VPN connection and a Google account that has location set to US. Otherwise i get European Market.
I have an american galaxy tab 10.1 and I'm using it in canada. I do not have access to american apps.
I suppose you will be localized by your IP address not by where device is from
At least that is how hulu and netflix do it and what is (luckily) easy to "fix" - see link in my signature ;-).
I use it for over a year and it is great!
Like i already wrote, Android Market looks at your IP address and location set on your Google account.
Using US VPN connection and Google account set to US works on WIFI only Xoom, i have no reason to believe it won't work on WIFI only GT10.1. Devices with GSM radio are another story.

Why?
It is exactly the same.
It does not matter how you connect to the internet (if your ISP is GSM network or if you have ADSL2 or VDSL or any other way to connect) if you use VPN server between you and your target. With VPN your original IP is always hidden and traffic between you and VPN server encrypted so even ISP does not know what places you visit.
When the update of Android 3.1 released for the first time for Xoom in the US, did you also get it officially?
Probably yes because you are using US VPN ....

I dont think the Market access is also determined from the connected IP address.
Because it does not make sense. Think when you go abroad to other region or country, the IP will be changed (network operator switched). But yeah, I dont know ...

I was talking about Android Market and if your device has a radio then you can spoof a network id (MarketEnabler) and you don't need anything else. With wifi onlyXoom you can use a build.prop from the Verizon Xoom and you have US Market access without VPN.
As far as i know, Android Market only looks at your IP if your device doesn't have radio, so if your device has a radio then VPN only won't help you.
Once I have my android tablet (one day) I will let you know ;-).

GSM is really another story. With my Euro Galaxy Tab P-1000 i can connect to US Market with a dummy sim card from ATT never activated. (I had this with my first iphone). So it is not IP when it comes to GSM models.

It does not, so if you buy it in USA it will not be covered in Europe.
I am going to buy a 16 GB Wifi only (prefererrably gray) asap from the US.
As I am in Europe (Hungary) I made a bit of a research on my options .
Please let me know what you think or if you have info to add:
only 3 sellers ship to overseas (non US or Canada addresses) generally:
- Amazon: exception now!: "Shipping: Currently, item can be shipped only within the U.S."
- frys.com: horrible shipping fee: 135 $
- tigerdirect: only wire transfer accepted as payment (my poor english: is it bank transfer?), they charge 25$ below 500$ order (okay, I can buy some 2$ stuff), shipping fee quite unknown.
So my only option is to get it shipped by some parcel forwarder.
The ones I checked:
bongous, myus: expensive (> 60$)
viaddress: 53 or 63 $ (depends on whether the parcel is 2 or 3 lbs)
shipito: 34 (postage) + 8 (shipito fee) + 8 insurance (50$)
And reviews were basically ok for shipito so I would go for that.
Now find the sellers with free shipping to US and good reviews/reputation/return policy:
- costco.com: shipping "early July" -> FORGET IT
- amazon, newegg: free shipping
- bestbuy, frys, tigerdirect: no free shipping
So I would choose (Amazon or Newegg) + shipito
What do you guys think?
BTW: what are the dimensions/weight of the parcel? (so poor sellers: I was not able to find reliable info on that, especially regarding the weight)
@jasahu:
end of this month 3G ver. should be in EU.
Considering how much you are going to pay for 16GB WiFi from USA I'd wait a bit...

Thanks for the tip I was aware of that.
The thing is I am not interested in 3g GT, I will use the one in my phone over Wifi.
And the price diff is:
US: (500 + 50 shipping) *1.25 (VAT) = 687$
Amazon.de for 3G + shipping: 936$
diff: 250$ -> too much for me to cover the warranty inconvenience
True
If you find someone willing to help let me know as I need a friendly soul to help me get hulu plus account - I got the money but can not pay from Europe :-(
I ordered mine, the 32gb version from Amazon and will ship it via bongous.
Hopefully, i could get it before end of June as Amazon will ship it June 20, 2011.
I choose bongous based on various reviews and my take on their website and their support was fast to answer my questions.
The total price should be comparable with buying from here, because $599 original price and I paid 440 euro. Of course, I must pay shipping and import tax. I think in euro would be around 600 euro here later.
But I cant wait more longer as I saw there was no indication of wifi only being released soon in Europe. I expect to use it for at least half year before getting the new Tegra 3 device next year 2012.
Let us/me know once u got it ;-).
Considering that the 3G version will be available in Europe by end of June for 599 euros, i don't see the point in ordering from US...
So, here's the thing. I have a friend living in the US who is coming over to India in about 10 days.
I want to order a Nexus 7 that is delivered to his house & he will bring it with him when he comes here.
I figured out how to access the US Play Store [using a proxy that spoofs an US IP].
Now, can I use my Indian credit card and enter a US billing address ?
Are there any other steps I need to take so that the order goes through ?
If anyone has placed an order or has any experience doing such stuff, I would really appreciate you input.

Can your "friend" not buy it for you using his credit card and you pay him out later? He can pick it up at any retail store stocking N7.
Most CC cards need the billing address to be specified on the file, I suspect transaction with your own CC will be denied.
Besides, have you been reading the forums yet? All the 12-13 manufacturing defects this tablet has?
What will you do if you get a lemon?

Nah, I couldn't ask him to pay for it.
If I give a US billing address [fake], will the transaction be declined ?
As for the defects, I am worried, but as ASUS seems to releasing the Nexus 7 in India in a few months, I will get warranty soon enough. But, I definitely hope I get a defect-free tablet.:fingers-crossed:
Anyone have any ideas on how to do it ?

Hi there,
I'm a reseller in other country. My customers want to buy google nexus so much that I have to find a way to order it from play store.
I will ship the items to a cargo service in US and then export them to my country.
In the purchase step, I added my international VISA card with billing address is the cargo service address and the shipping address is the same. I did it well and ordered about 200 items last month. However prior last three days, google immediately canceled my all orders if I place new order. I don't know whether google implement their policy about using the US-credit card payment policy more strictly.

You can use your CC, with the REAL billing address. Although from what I've learned, it is possible that your account might be suspended.
But DON'T PANIC.... If it does, write to customer service and provide your ID and CC scans to prove you are not fraud...
There are cases here in China that passed through.
Good luck.

I encountered the same problem recently. Called Google Play support and apparently there is some CC processing issue since Sunday and was still working on it which is consistent with your experience. So just have to wait I suppose. Unless of course the CS is misleading us although he has no reason to do so.
Anyone successfully ordered devices from Google in the last 3 days ?

OMG, you 're so nice. I think I'm the only one meet this problem ( . I'm very frustrated 5 days because I cannot place any order on google play store. Do you have skype or email that we can contact and share information about ordering bulk google nexus 7?
I created many gmail account to tried place order with 3 different international debit cards but there's no positive result. I received some emails with the same content:
Hi there,
Thanks for your patience in this matter, my name is Paul E. and I will
help you sort this out today. I really do know how frustrating these
things can be.
According to our records, this purchase was cancelled by our system for
security reasons, but this appears to have been an isolated case that has
since been resolved. I've taken a look at your account and confirmed that
you have not been charged.
Though your order has been cancelled, you may notice activity on your
credit/debit card for this order. Please be assured that the amount on
your card statement is an authorization, not an actual charge, and the
authorization will automatically be removed from your account within 1-14
business days, depending on your bank.
Though we're not able to re-instate cancelled orders, you're welcome to
try your purchase again. If your orders continue to be automatically
cancelled, please do write back and let me know so that we can alert the
proper team and ensure that your orders go through properly.
I hope that answers your question, but feel free to ask any other Google
Play questions you have. I'd also like to let you know to expect a short
anonymous survey about your support experience in the next few days; we
keep trying to find ways to improve our customer support, and your
feedback will definitely help.
Best,
Paul E.
The Google Play Support Team

More problems ordering apps
Hi,
Ok, so hopefully someone has a suggestion.
I've been able to order apps just fine using Proxmate extension on Chrome.
The other day it stopped working.
I had my programmer create a proxy to try and get through, and still no luck ordering.
One possible problem is I tried probably 20+ times to order as we were trying to debug the process.
Now, I have an employee of mine in the US loglin to my account, and try to place an order for an app and it gives her the same error - that the order could not be placed for a technical reason.
Anyone have any ideas how I can get around this? I can log in just fine, but can not purchase. If they suspended my account, I would imagine that I would not be able to even login - but that's just a guess.
Any ideas would be most appreciated.
Thanks.
Hi everybody
As we know, the new Nexus 4 will be available on Play Store only in: U.S., U.K., Australia, France, Germany, Spain and Canada.
It also seems almost sure that in all the other countries It will cost much more, for example while in France It will cost 350€ (on Play Store), in Italy It will probably cost 549€!
I'm from Italy, and obviously I don't wanna pay 549€ if I could spend less!
So, how could we get it from abroad?
The main issue is that Play Store only ships in the state where they sell the phone, so I can't directly go on Play Store UK and buy it.
To solve this problem I thought to use a service like forward2me which gives you an UK address to be able to buy the phone, and then they ship the phone to you. The cost is about 32€ for Italy, and 382€ is still a great price for me
There's also USABox, which does the same, but from U.S.
Another problem is that you can't even visit another Play Store if you're not in that state, to solve this we could use Ultrasurf, which is a free proxy-based tool that allow us to vist other Play Store(s).
The last problem is: some people told me that they only accept credit cards that come from that country, so If I would buy It from UK, I'd need a UK credit card. Is this true? And If yes, do you know any possible way to bypass this problem?
Thanks in advance :fingers-crossed:
i want this phone so bad, damn google play store
Maybe try to access in Play Store France with Proxy or VPN. (I don't know really). Search on Google
But, i think Order will be available in others countries later.
You didn't even read my thread, did you?
Yes, you can access differnet country's play store thru VPN. Not sure how to buy though.

Can you use Google wallet? From my previous experience, even you have a UK card, the diffrent address from the billing address will be a problem(Not play store though, some other B2C site).

...Again?
In order to buy from the UK Play Store you need an UK credit card. Just the shipping address isn't enough. And this is not bypassable, sorry.
I'm Italian too, I hate this damned country! We can't buy from Playstore through proxy because it need you have a credit card in the country you are buying..
1) A supported country credit card is needed
2) a Proxy is not a good idea, as sensitive data is transmitted through it for someone to see
3) The actual product may be delivered to the proxies address

Seems a lot of people are missing the OP's point. He is saying that you need an UK issued credit or debit card.
And to solve this problem for the OP, here in the UK we have what is called a "pre-pay credit card". If you can get someone to get you one in the UK (they sell them at post offices etc) then you should be able to complete the purchase on Google Play UK. But then again if can manage to find someone you are willing to trust £279 you might as well ask them to buy it for you and send it to you in Italy.

I am also in the same situation like you. I live in The Netherlands and no chance to buy it from Google Store.
I am also curious if you can pay it with a credit card from another country. I know some people in Germany where the phone could be delivered and I could pick it up but the main question is about the payment method.
Do you trust services like forward2me? They are reliable? I never heard of them.
I hope somebody could give us more informations and we could get our devices as soon as possible. I can't wait to have it!
My plan:
Use a proxy from the states and hoping that Citibank Credit card, even issued in y country is not a problem, (I can use it to buy from PlayStore when I am connected through a VPN).
Backup Plan:
Shipito offers "Assisted Purchase". I let them buy for me, even it's 17 USD more, and then ship to here.
Plan C:
Order it from Amazon when available
Plan D:
Wait until it available in my country (that's the final plan)
I bought apps from Play Store in The Netherlands using a foreign credit card and it worked without problems. I didn't had to use any proxy or VPN. I am still not sure if it will work with devices. It's really frustrating that Google doesn't extend their play store services.

I think you need to BUY it from amazon or whatever. I don't think It's possible buying it from another countrys Play Store since you probably need a U.S or U.K creditcard depending on where you want to buy it from. My advice is to wait til the price drops or just buy it from another country (not via Play Store). this seems very easily thought of but yeah I think this is the only solution. I myself am currently waiting for the Netherlands release, my predictions are that the phone will be sold unlocked for 350eu if not more. If you really want to buy it from Play Store than I don't really know what you'll have to do but good luck.
I have been trying for about a week now to get the 6P but the play store wont allow different credit card addresses / different billing address, so I can't get it from there, Huwawei's website has a really long wait time :/, ebay/amazon is super overpriced, is there any other website that does not use the verification that google uses and the price isnt inflated through the roof? I really need a new phone and the Nexus 6P is the best thing ive seen in a while!
Help would be much much appreciated.
Yeah try locally.

I had no choice but buy from eBay and pay some import taxes. A little bit too expensive, but totally worth it. Greetings from Mexico.
You can try UsGoBuy.com forwarding service. They will give you a valid US address in Oregon, which is a sales tax free state.
Then use that address as a billing address in your Google wallet. You can add any international credit card there as long as you have a valid US address.
Use a VPN service from US and use incognito tab in chrome, so that Google thinks that you are really inside of the US. Order you phone, and wait until the forwarder sends it to you.
If it doesn't work, try setting up a new Google account and make sure that you use vpn and incognito tab.
I personally completed all the above steps successfully, and now I am waiting to get the amount to actually buy the device.

That's what I did.....received my 6p on Thursday
Or you can use fishisfast and they will buy on your behalf for a very small fee
Viabox service would buy it for you for free. But I found out that usgobuy is more reliable

Thanks for your help, I passed all the steps and could order but when I hit Place order it said the order was "high risk" and that it was declined. Any ideas on this?
Didn't get to that point yet. Sorry

Honestly, it was too much work or maybe I'm just too lazy, it was cumbersome. It came out at around 597 $ (64 GB Aluminum) because of tax, and it would not accept my payment, I went on ebay and found a good seller who is selling it unopened and brand new at 620$, I didn't mind the extra 23 $, and finished the order in a few seconds, seriously, I hope Google gets it **** together with this payment thing, here's the link for anyone interested :

Thanks again for all your help
Just made a test purchase from Google using above steps. I bought a usb C to usb A cable. The purchase did go through successfully.
Within next ten days planning to order the phone.

Just ordered my Nexus 6p 64gb using above method. First time the order was declined due to being considered high risk. I changed my address in the settings to match the shipping address and tried after 30 minutes. The order went trough. Waiting my device now

If you get high risk its because your account it new. Contact the Google Store support, tell them you got the error and they can release you from the high risk tag.
I have no idea what they ask for, but I some some people did it and it worked.

Also keep in mind that ordering from the US will get you the H1511 model which has bands targeted for North American carriers. Before the 6P was available locally in my country I was also thinking the same thing but found out that the H1511 model doesn't have the LTE bands my carrier uses. You can't buy the international H1512 model from the US Google Play Store and Huawei store unfortunately.
