Hope people find this useful - Carphone Warehouse in the UK are now offering pre-order for the 3G & WIFI Xoom priced at £599 including a charging dock for free - which I believe will make it £13 cheaper than the comparable iPad2 upon release - with the added benefit of the £35 dock thrown in too.
It's the first UK price I've seen for the 3G & WIFI version and it appears to be pretty good to me - £100 premium over the £499 WIFI only version in line with Apple's £510.
Still no closer on choosing which one to buy though!

Good luck to all across the pond, I will be "rooting" for you, and hope Motorola does not pull the Milestone madness on you guys.
Once you use the Xoom, you'll be soo happy

I've cancelled my wifi only xoom & I'm ordering this, there's a 3 mobile tablet sim only deal at the moment for 12 months duration & 12gb data (whichever runs out first) for just £51. At that price beats tethering

That’s not bad deal. All we need now is the actual XOOM. Unfortunately no news from carphone warehouse
So, it looks like the Samasung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Wifi version will be £399 over here in the UK on release, available from PC World and Currys.
With the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 UK price starting at just £399 (the same price as the lowest-spec iPad 2), it's expected to make tablet waves when it lands in August.

I really couldn't live in London. They rape you lot as far prices of electronics 399 pounds which equates to $558 US. Wow! Feel sorry for you guys.
Yes we do seem to get well and truly shafted over here.
I thought Wi-Fi model is P7510.
I bought the US model couldn't wait for the UK release haha

About time and still not a peep from Samsung UK.
Cool I just bought the US model for £342, so still a fair saving compared to the original UK price.
are the 3G versions sim-free or locked to Verizon or other carriers ?

Try living in Denmark then. The cheapest model is priced at 3.699 - 3.799 DKK, which is roughly equal to $717 - $736. And don't even think about trying to import such a device from the US. VAT is 25%, and an additional import tax to the danish postal service is roughly $35 -- so it's not even worth the trouble.
I'm unsure about 3g models, i opted for the WIFI only model and just wifi tether with my GS2 if need H or 3G whilst out and about..
I've also kept the stock US Honeycomb, I tried the TOUCHWIZ Rom on here but found it really slow so i'll wait for the US or UK release for the upgraded software, hopefully it will have some improvments.
£489 for a US 32GB mettalic grey model, not bad and was delivered next day from Brighton too. Digigoods on ebay I think the shop was called.

I can voucher for Digigoods as well got my 16gb from them using the ebay 15% voucher last weekend next day delivery as well. 16gb is ample for me Google Music for the win so nice having your music on the cloud.

I saw the Digigood deals on Amazon a little while ago, I was put off by the incorrect product description (i.e said 32 gig when it was actually a 16 gig version), also had concerns about not having a UK warranty.
Well, they give you a year's warranty and then you get the usual Samsung warranty once you register your tab with them. Not bad really.

According to the PC World web site:-
16GB released on 4th August
32GB released on 11th August

399 ain't bad. Must remember that they add tax at till in up the us.

Expansys have recently dropped their 8GB SIM Free price by £50 to GBP199.99
Admittedly not as good as the Dell Swarm 16GB £179.50 sell-out,
http://www.dellswarm.com/uk/swarm/pastswarm
but may be a sign that other retailers may follow suit?
I was tempted at the £250 price drop.
This is really tempting me. I wish it was more powerful though Its now last gen hardware

Then it wouldn't be under £200
And how powerful do you need? Never see any lag (nor had a single freeze or crash) on my v1 LG.
Might be an idea to vote and keep an eye on the Dell Swarm though - seems to be a regular thing (4 since July) but you have to be quick to get one.
do the US bands work for you?
getting them from dell directly in the USA is cheaper than 200 pounds. (190.. hrmm.. don't have pound on my keyboard)

Doubtful. You are almost certainly on 2100MHz, which is covered by both the AT&T and T-Mobile US DVP quite nicely.
The TMOUS version also has 900MHz support, making it a better bet for world-wide use than the AT&T version.
Has anyone seen a source for these? I love my note tablet (32gb grey wifi n8013), but have decided I cant live without cell data. Just spoiled by my 3g/4g xoom and too many places qith no or weak wifi.
By the way, once I find one, I'll be unloading my n8013 if anyone wants a deal on a 2nd hand unit (completely stock, no dead pixels or screen bleed that Ive been able to find). If interested, help me find a 3g or just keep an eye on this thread.
According to Samung Europe there is no 32 GB 10.1 3G/WiFi in line at least for Europe and even Vodafone executives in Germany or Austrian bloggers with excellent connections to Samsung don' t know if there will be 32GB or 64 GB versions at all.
handtec has them available for preorder http://www.handtec.co.uk/section.php/377/1/samsung
Not sure when they will be available though
Yeahhh, Expansys still has my preorder for the SG Tab 7.7 64 GB since one year .........:silly:
Preorder means: You can preorder it but we can't tell You if there will be this device at all.
Samsung spokesman Europe said originally: we can't tell when and if at all there will be a 32/64GB version ...........

Thanks for the link, but they don't have it in stock, so not sure if this listing is just a place holder.
And yes, I think it is a luxury to pay $200 or perhaps even $300 for "48Gb" of extra internal storage.
Indeed, looks like Samsung did make 64Gb versions for Russia:
GT-N8000ZWFSER white
GT-N8000EAFSER gray
Hi everyone
Thought I'd make a thread for prospective Australian owners to discuss the device.
I'm personally super excited by the fact that the Nexus phone is a phablet. A bit less enthused by the price but we'll wait for the official $AU price. It'll still be cheaper than the $900+ Note 4 which is its only other competitor currently.
Looks like it'll be coming to Telstra in December according to the well connected and reliable Crazy CS from Whirlpool:
http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=2324246&p=3#r50
If so, that means it'll probably get released in JB Hifi and Officeworks. Maybe it'll be a bit cheaper like last year with their marginally better than RRP prices for the Nexus 5.
Anyways discuss away
I'm excited with this release and been waiting for this phone but bit disappointed with the listed price, I was hoping @ 500 mark.
Carrier release info:
http://ausdroid.net/2014/10/16/which-australian-carriers-will-offer-the-nexus-6-and-nexus-9/
I paid like 700 for the Galaxy Nexus here OZ. I'd pay it again for a smaller a Nexus 6. Why is there no choice if you want better battery and stock Android?
Re: Prices
So the AU prices for the Nexus 9 are out. As you can see there is roughly a 1.2x multiplier from the US price which is fortunately less than currency conversion + GST.
http://www.amazon.com/HTC-Nexus-Tablet-8-9-Inch-Black/dp/B00M6UC5B4
https://play.google.com/store/devic...Wi_Fi_Indigo_Black?id=nexus_9_black_16gb_wifi
Nexus 9
16GB = $399.99 US = $479 AU – 1.198 multiplier
32GB = $479.99 US = $589 AU – 1.227 multiplier
Plus of course the $19.95 shipping.
Extrapolating to the Nexus 6 (1.2 multiplier)
32GB = $649.99 US = $779.99 AU = $799.94 shipped
64GB = $699.99 US = $839.99 AU = $859.95 shipped
https://play.google.com/store/devices/details/Nexus_6_32GB_Midnight_Blue?id=nexus_6_blue_32gb
Preorder link but not open for pre-orders yet.
Personally a bit high for me as a day 1 purchase from the playstore. Think I might wait a couple of weeks and try to nab one off a local retailer (JB/OW/HN etc) for 10-20% off ala what happened with the Nexus 7. Although come to think of it, did they ever stock the nexus 5/4? Thought they only sold nexus tablets?
From past history grey importers like Kogan/DWI have not sold Nexuses for cheaper than RRP either.
Hmmm....needs more thought.
wow, not buying at that price point, goole lost me with this one.
Gone are the days of Nexus being device for poor man, they've joined the premium club.
With the release of the FCC data of the international and US version of the N6, we can see the lte and 3g bands they support. http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/nexus-6-fcc-t2917562

Before the Nexus 4, Nexus devices weren't cheap. The nexus 6 and 9 are definitely not as cheap as I'd want but they're still cheaper than the competition and google has upped the build quality a lot
Sent from my LG G2 running CloudyG3 ?
Well I paid $800 for the Galaxy Nexus (my first ever Android phone) when it was released - it was cool when I got it but looking back I wouldn't have got that phone again. Could've got the Galaxy S2 cheaper at the time.
The Nexus 6 looks to cost about $750 for the 64gb version shipped, purchased from overseas of course. From talking with some phone guys at Telstra they expect the Nexus 6 to retail outright around $800-$900, depending on where you get it from. That is not a good deal in my opinion. Considering the inflation in our prices for tech devices between $750 and $850/$900 could be very close to right for the 64gb version.

Buy from Google play for $699 + the usual $50 shipping to Australia will put it at $749 for the 64gb or purchase through carrier at the (as I was told) approximate price between $800 and $900 per phone.
$900 for Nexus 6 is actually more expensive than the Note 4; you can pick that up cheaper elsewhere.

If you wanted the phone cheaper with Telstra 4G I would get a Telstra plan (with no phone included) and buy the Nexus 6 outright from Google.
That is not a cheap option BUT could be slightly cheaper than going direct to Telstra. Telstra may have the best 4G network but in reality it is not much better than the other carriers. Fact. Telstra are WAY overpriced. I quit them for Vodafone and while Vodafone is cheaper and the internet is slightly less stable, I'm still able to carry on my business as per normal without problems.
FYI my original Telstra plan was:
$80 per month which included:
- 1 phone (Samsung Galaxy Ace)
- 1.1 gigs download per month
- 100 free calls
- 100 free texts
- 50 free international calls
- Locked in for TWO YEARS
My current Vodafone plan is:
$28 per month which includes:
- 2 gig download per month
- 500 free calls
- 500 free texts to any phone in Australia
- Locked in for one year
- Free phone (ironically, Samsung Galaxy Ace)

Pretty much what I'm planning to do.
I need the reception as I spend a lot of time in really marginal service areas where the extra range of 700mhz of 850mhz should make a significant difference.
I've thought about Optus, as they have a pretty decent remote area coverage but it just isn't as good as Telstra. I'm on a Telstra plan already, so I'll just keep going with that.

I signed up for the 70$ byo testa plan the other month.. receive 3.5gb for upgrading 950 in calls and unlimited sms/mms... I grandfathered my previous plan from when I got my galaxy nexus due to the value dropping significantly in that time period up to now. I continually complained when they used to call to try and get you to upgrade. Nexus 6 will be preorder on first available date just like with the 9 last week
