When and where?

Does anybody know when and where you can get this phone when it comes out? I called T-Mobile (I know they're not going to sell it, but was hoping for some information) and they knew even less than I did. Everything I have read said you must purchase if from google. $530 with no contract or $180 with a two year agreement and you only have one plan to pick from. The supposed retail date is January 5th. You would think they would have done some sort of advertising or at least have something come up on a Google search.

9AM on the 5th @ google.com/phone is the rumor.

Google is in Mountain View, CA. South of San Francisco. Still in the same time zone as Seattle.

The press conference starts at 10 am, so who really knows. How likely are they to open up sales 1 hour before the conference starts? Actually, I would open up sales today if I was google, and let everyone order but the shipments don't arrive until 10AM the day of the conference.

We have root!!!!!
Stericson and PaulOBrien have successfully rooted the Nexus. Even with the price, this even more of a must buy for me now! http://twitgoo.com/aqr00

I'm more interested in the business model for the N1 in this side of the pond.
How much would it cost in Europe?Who will be selling it?Google or HTC? Which carriers would have it for sale?
So far there aren't any news/leaks/rumors regarding the n1 in Europe, so I guess only at 05/01/2010 we will have the full details.

Wow, didn't take long to get it rooted huh? Instant buy for me. Can't wait for that Android 2.1, AMOLED, 5.0 MP w/Flash, 3.7" screen, and 1GHz Snapdragon Processor. Just can't wait!

it will also be possible to buy it at google.com/phone and ship it to europe. Guys at engadget.com have the full terms of sale wich say that this will be possible. Only thing is you will have to pay taxes and the shipping ... but I don't care bout that, just wanna have that phone ;-)

has anyone read the terms and conditions, it says phone might be 430. hope thats true not the 530 thats a little high

I'd also like to know about European release. Hopefully it will be released with HTC Branding (hey I like to rep HTC )
I don't think the rumours of the webpage are true tbh. Although strangely in the terms they make you agree that you understand the phone is made by HTC and not Google =/

After the press conference details, this will be the hottest device on the market! A must have!!

guys, yall gotta check this out!!!! http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/nexus-one-trounces-3d-benchmark-gets-caught-in-high-res-photosh/
oh damn, they removed the 10 min video already!

Nexus One Group on XDA already!!!
Whats all the talk about $29 data SIM about? I wish Google would put some more information out there. I am really looking forward to grabbing one while they're hot.

If it gets released in europe (or ships from usa without tax) i'll sell my iphone and get it asap.

Preordered?

Hurro
Curious to see if anyone has preordered a Galaxy Tab yet. And if so then where from?
Reeeeeeally interested in getting one as the expected launch date is a few days before my birthday but not too sure if preordering is the best way to go.

Still more expensive than Amazon and Expansys.
Sent from my HTC Desire

In all honesty, I would not pre-order.
In my opinion they are price gouging. The Expansys and Amazon prices have been stuck at ~£600+ ever since there were pictures of the device. Sure, if they were selling it a month early at those prices, then I could over look it. But they are totally ignoring how much the device is probably going to cost and acting like they are giving you a good deal.
There aren't going to be supply shortages of these things. Samsung wants to sell like a million a month for a year. They will be there when you want to buy one. Personally, I'd stop and look at the pricing when it drops. That means if its cheap as it should be then you can get a 64gig model. If its too pricey, then just wifi. Either way it doesn't hurt, and it certainly means that you actually get what you pay for instead of what Expansys thought it was worth two months ago when they 'guarenteed the price' (ie before we learned the retail cost in the states is going to be like $650/£410)

I think if anything, £600 is a good price. HTC Desires are still selling for £400 on the internet, so £200 more for a tablet makes sense IMHO.
Sent from my HTC Desire

The problem really is that we don't know where its going to hit on the UK market. If its on par with the Euro-zone bits of europe, then £600 is a little high but about right.
On the other hand, if we're on par with say Finland or the States then those prices are way too high. Potentially you could get a contract one that costs £650 over its life time.
That's certainly why I'm not pre-ordering anyway. Until I see solid pricing for the UK, I don't want to commit to the price. £600 is about the highest it could possibly launch at, and if buying a day after lauch saves me up to £150 then hell yeah I'll wait a day. Im even thinking about importing a GSM one from the states.

Now available in Germany via techdepot.de for €599. Around £550 for us then? Surely can't be long now

cdon.no
I just pre-ordered mine from cdon.no for 6559 norwegian kroner . I really hope a lot of peope buys it so we get a good community up and running. I currently own a HTC HD mini, and I must say I miss the HD2 forums and all the chefs there.

You'd think that wouldn't you... In fact you'd think that since the Tab hit Vodafone (my carriers) website within a few days of the Tab actually being a thing, you'd think that they'd have prices by now, since it's supposed to be launching within a a couple of weeks.
Personally I'm starting to feel like im banging my head against the ******* wall.

That's true
It's even on Carphone Warehouse I believe. It's the fact its officially out in other countries, so we should have a certain price at least.

Exactly. Its weird how they didn't just do a big release event for each zone giving prices and stuff. I know the carriers want to be doing the majority of the sales and they are a law unto themselves when it comes to release dates but still. If you want buzz then let us know what we are buying.

DHD in the Philippines

Please list down the shops that currently have the DHD in the Philippines. Maybe we can help each other find the store with the best deal. The prices I'm listing are in Php.
Greenhills Bridgeway: 38k
Greenhills Theater Mall: 32.5k
Other stores expect the DHD to arive January at 35k.

Dude, have you bought one already? I think I'm gonna go look one in Greenhills.

I'm planning on buying one tomorrow but I'm a bit concerned about the warranty. I might wait till January unless the unit I get is flawless.

so the one in greenhills doesn't have any warranty at all?

thats expensive. but i am curious how it feels and look like. i have an hd2 and i think they are pretty much the same. just wait for January, it might be cheaper then due to a lot of stores carrying them.

The word on the street is that CMK will have it for less than 30k but I just dont know when they will have it in stock.
There is a shop at Bridgeway with dummy DHD's. You may want to visit them to get the feel of the unit.
Warrany of the units now are mostly 7-day returns, but I feel like the regular 1-year warranty is needed for such an expensive device.

I bought mine a nonth ago in Thailand, the first week that they were available here. I paid 23,000 Thai baht which is $728 US and 32,000 pesos comes to $723 so the two countries are about the same. I guess that the warranty would be important but I don't think that you will have any problems with it. I had a HD2 before that I was running Android on and I like my DHD much better, everything just works a lot smoother. I say go for it, those prices sound reasonable to me.

Yeah, I think the 1 year warranty sounds pretty much reasonable, so I'm just gonna wait til' January and that CMK you are talking about? Where is that located?

CMK cellphones is based in QC and they have competative prices.

where exactly in Q.C mate?

Try going to cmkcellphones.com and they have a location map. Also, they have their prices up but the DHD was taken down because they didnt know when they would get any.

True, my wife has a Desire and its been working without a hitch so I think HTC quality is spot on. However, I did see this thread elsewhere about dead pixels starting to appear after some usage and thats the sort of situation I would like to avoid. What a bind I'm in, right?
Anyways, If the price is right, I think ill pick it up.

I think that you will be pleased with your decision.

Would any of you know if these shops sell DHD accessories already?
Thanks

None of the shops I've asked carries any HTC accessories. The best lead I have is to go to the HTC repair center allong Annapolis. I have no idea if they actually have any there but I kinda doubt it.

Infomaxx is known to sell at really high prices, at least for Nikon and most photographic equipment I've asked prices for before.

The initial price was very high but we managed to convince them to lower it. let them know that you know how much it supposed to be and they will be willing to match your price.

Dell has dumped their inventory of AT&T DVP on TechSoup org and they are going for $31 each till there gone. They come with the SIM unlock code.
If you know someone who works for a non-profit in the US you can get one through them. Up to 20 can be ordered by each organization.
Sorry, can't post links yet. Just google TechSoup then type in Dell Venue Pro in the search box on their web page.

I have one to sell, but it's a little beat up and has some significant AMOLED dimming. I think I'll take my chances on ebay. Even though you can get a decent 32GB MicroSDHC card for about $15, the a 32GB version of this phone sells for significantly more than a 8GB version.
A little while ago Secondipity's ebay store had 8GB models accepting best offer submissions of $100. That's the best deal I've seen. Even at that price, it took them a couple weeks to sell out. Now prices are higher. They were the T-Mobile version, but as I've read on the forum, it's just the same hardware flashed with different ROMs.
Either way, you may want to hold off buying anything until you hear what Microsoft has to say at the Windows Phone 8 announcement scheduled for June 20th.

Sorry sold my VP to CeX for £114 and bought an S3 the phone was nearing the end of it's life and, if dell were reluctant to fix a small issue with the compass then, I highly doubt they'll send out an upgrade for the discountinued phone. Bye WP7 and I'll only come back when I'm bored of android. Ciao.

I personally bought the DVP from this seller. ACTUALLY, he is like a half mile away from my home! HAHA. If you order from him, I can make sure he sends you a good working DVP. I am actually helping him unlock some other phones he has and removing some demo software on some Samsung Focus and HTC HD7 phones. He has a few DVP that are kinda messed up and 2 or 3 in pretty good condition. check it out. Look at his other auctions.
crap i cant post links. Go to ebay and search this item# 221020643141

i got a nice one, no scratches at all, pretty mint, picked it up in January of this year
$150.

no sub 100$ dvp??

Ended up selling my extra one for about $150. Prices were lower last month when an liquidator was trying to move some stock. Prices may go down again with today's announcement that WP7 handsets will not be updated to WP8.

anybody???

To my fellow North Americans

Good evening,
Was looking around and seems like Z5 is what I've been waiting for, and like many of you I cannot wait to get my hands on one. Searched it up on UK and USA sites, prices are extremely expensive for a Z5 (imagine how much the Z5 P is going to cost), anyway I searched it up on USA Amazon and found a decent price. Ive never actually purchased a smartphone online before but have made Tablet purchases and simple manufacturer defects are covered by the seller.
NGP Store USA from US Amazon sent me a ridiculous response. See the attachments, I asked nicely whether it is covered under manufacturer defect if the phone does not perform as advertised. I understand it has no warranty but manufacturer defect is another thing, event written on their policies. I dont know are they implying the phones are not IP 68 certified.
Anyway, be warned my young jedis rather wait till it launches in Canada or find some seller that is actually a seller. Seriously, paying up to $1000 for a phone that is not as advertised is non-sense. really makes me wonder where they get their stock from.

Interesting response I bought mine on EBay from Taiwan. Seller is 23port. I bought Z2 and Z3 from them as well. They are one if the first to get the new devices and ship DHL for free. Went out 10/2 and arrived 10/5.

You can get it for about $650~ on Handtec. Not bad, considering

i have actually purchased from them before but the stupid canadian import fees, taxes, and currency is ridiculous lol it would nearly end up 1000+ sigh

Got my Z5 Graphite Black from Clove. Supposed to be delivered to my house by Tuesday hopefully! I only had good experience with them, would highly recommend them

To be honest, I like their response. The phone ip certification does not qualify it to be kept under the pressure of a running tap. The phone is gently submerged then taken out again, not blasted by a running tap stream of water.
Sent from my D5803 using XDA Free mobile app

i dont know what kind of sink you have there sir, but my sink doesnt blast out tap water. I avoided to use the word "submerge" under water to illustrate a point here. After checking out every other sites, including eBay, yes eBay, nearly all sellers provide 1 year warranty. Then again, warranty and manufacturer defect policy are two separate things. What they are doing is very skeptical, makes me really wonder where they get their phones.
Even aside from all that, this points out they have extremely poor customer service or the CSR is just unprofessional. Could have structured the sentence professionally.
Im trying to avoid purchasing from UK, most of the prices there are extremely high. i might actually order from 23port as proposed by augie. Thanks for the info tho guys!

It must be my European sink with strong pipes and forceful blast

I really wanted to try the Z line. I was excited to see that VZW had one of them listed as an upcoming device. I was hoping the Z5 would land on VZW instead of the Z4v, but now news has it that VZW ditched the Sony lineup period... This is really sad news.

$1000?? Try searching Amazon
The Z5C is $559 on amazon:
Honestly, I wouldn't spend more than $650 on the Z5 and that's being generous given the flaws we've seen thus far. Granted that's software that has yet to receive post launch updates that improve performance.
