I was in London however I did not have enough time to purchase the ZTE Blade II. Orange was selling the device for 99stg + 10 talk time. I have checked on ebay however these devices are sold relatively much more expensive (obviously). Orange online shop does not accept non-UK registered credit cards. Looking for an alternative option. Any ideas?.
Cheers
I think T-Mobile have their Vivacity on sale at £89, that's a blade2 too. Other shops might have them in stock (I don't know which). You could draw cash on your credit card (or from your bank) & pay for it with cash if you're still in the UK.
If you pay with cash I think they ask for you to buy £20 air time. Otherwise try other retailers suck as argos, I got my original osf from there with only £10 airtime and paid cash

well i guess amazon will not ever sell the nexus 7 unless google contacts them and tell them they want to sell their tablets through amazon, of course google (and apple) would never do that. 3rd party sellers are selling the 16 gig version for about $300, i thought that's crazy but i remember i have to pay tax and shipping if i buy from google play store, i live in california, anyone live in CA bought this tablet from google play store? what was the total cost including tax and shipping? do they have free shipping?
the reason i want to buy on amazon is because i have some money in my gift card balance, this seems like a good tablet to buy,
I live in CA and tax and shipping brought it to $287.

I dare say you're better off buying it locally or directly from Google. At least for me it gives me some peace of mind.

Buy locally. You will avoid the shipping costs. You can buy online from Walmart, Office Depot/Max, or Staples & "ship site to store" & avoid shipping too. Also, when you buy locally, if there is a problem with the screen, you can return/exchange immediately.

ouch.. In MA it only cost me $278.
@OP, I too was hoping Amazon would be a reseller because I also have available amazon giftcards.. but the 3rd party sellers just wanted too much.
When the Nexus 7 was released it was/is sold in several brick and mortar stores, but only the 16gb version.
I'd like to buy the Nexus 10 from Best Buy as I have several gift cards there. For some reason the Nexus 7 was never sold by Best Buy USA at all. (BB Canada supposedly had them)
What other stores will the Nexus 10 be sold at? Any news on this? I like to try things out before I spend a big chunk of change on them.

Save your gift cards for video games! Save some tax $$ ($25 bucks for me) and get it from Google directly or Newegg. If you've used any other Android tablet then the Nexus 10 will be better than that (one exception might be the Transformer Infinity).
They would still pay the same tax if they bought $400 in videos games or a $400 tablet.
Newegg taxes me (NJ), and I think Google does as well. Amazon is where it's at for me... until next summer when the North Jersey Governor's plan to gain 20 jobs from Amazon in order to promote double dipping on taxes (I have problems with sales tax).
Walmart (only 32GB available).

I want to buy the Nexus 4 16GB and I found a good deal on Amazon: US$471 - Phone +Screen protector + case
I'm a little skeptical as it looks too good to be true, do you guys think I should take it up? Because I'm worried I'll get scammed
Sent from my Nexus 7
I don't see how that's a good deal. The 16GB costs about $360 (inc. shipping) at the Play Store and a screen protector + case shouldn't cost more than $10, so about $370 total. If it's not a scam, it's at least a ripoff.
I'd bet the deal is real cause Amazon's a pretty distinguished company but I'm positive the shipping time won't be ideal lol

Yeah that is not a very good deal, buy from the play store and get accessories separate.

If the phone is sold by amazon and not a third party seller than you will be fine, amazon wont scam you. that's a pretty good deal if the play store doesnt sell the Nexus 4 in Singapore.
One downside is that you cannot contact google for warranty exchange, you will have to go through LG and maybe even only US LG warranty center if you buy a US Nexus 4. With LG you have to ship your defective phone and wait a few weeks but with google they will ship out the replacement and you ship back the defective one once you get it.
Do you know if google is planning on selling the Nexus 4 in your country? if they are i would wait or even play a bit more to get it through google.

What is the real price of the Nexus 6p 64gb version + taxes and shipping to Florida("free")??
I want the phone, but it seems like the price is going to be almost the same as the Note 5
(Price of phone) x (sales tax) + (price of phone) + (free shipping)= price of phone. Should be easy to figure out.
Order phone from Huawei and there is no tax and free shipping. At least it was for me and I'm in new York.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Free mobile app
Well Florida tax is 7% if I'm not mistaken so the 64gb model is 549*7%+549=$587.43 total cost with free shipping. Let's not forget the $50 in GP credit if you buy it from google. It's still chepaer than a Note by a long shot. The 128gb model is still cheaper than most phones so its a steal for the 32 & 64gb models
You can just times it by 1.tax. So 549*1.07

What part of Florida. Sales tax depends on the county. Base sales tax is 6%, but some counties add extra. Alachua adds an extra 0.25%, Tallahassee adds 1%. Where I am in South Florida its 6%. Total for the 64GB should be:
$581.94
I bought a case with mine so if you're interested in that, $619.03 shipped.

If you can't afford and figure out the extra $30 for tax, then you really should save your money and not buy a new phone. Sounds like you have bigger problems.

Note 5 new on ebay or swappa costs less than the 64gb after tax and everything.

No where near, this is a very simple calculation.
$549 x .055(sales tax, in my case 5.5%) = 30.20
$549 + 30.20 = $579.20 Nexus 6P shipped to my door.
Note 5 retail is at minimum $792 according to this quick search that I know is not the end all, but it's a good general idea. The Verizon site agrees with Android Central on the $792 price tag.
Nexus 6P will likely be at least $200 cheaper off contract.

He is saying that if 6p costs the same as note 5, then he might as well go with the note 5 since it is better device anyways
And has to have to live with Touchwiz.

Actually Im not in Miami, I live in Costa Rica, so I buy the phone, send it to Miami and they send it to my country, so Im going to pay another 13.5% more in taxes here... Isnt a big deal as you can see my signature Im a nexus fan, but the note 5 is about $650 here and the s6 edge 32gb $550...

They charge tax in Florida, as well as California.
Just add it to the cart in Google store... Does all the math for you.

This would have been good to know at the beginning of the thread.
I see why you may think you want the note 5, Huawei is Costa Rica is portrayed as a crap brand mainly because Costa Rican companies only import crap.
Huawei is huge in China but sadly the Huawei phones that have been imported in CR are the super lower end phones from that company.
Now, Samsung sucks really, not all the phones but as a whole brand they do. now, imagine you have only used the lower end phones from samsung, like the Duos. You would have an awful image (more than usual) of samsung as a brand.
I sometimes think that is why some iPhone users stay with Apple, they "try to move to android" but instead of getting a good phone they buy some cheap android phone and start saying that their iphone that costs x3 o x4 more is better...
Anyways, you should just get the Nexus 6p and stop worrying about it.

I want the frost white, gethuawei.com only sells graphite and silver...
Already tried to preorder 2 Nexus 6p 64gb one frost white and another graphite for my GF but every time I get this: "Your order was declined because it was considered high-risk. Please try again in 30 minutes [BM-CPE-13]" i even tried again in 30 minutes like it said and it still did'nt work
However, my debit card will work on other things or stores(amazon, ebay etc), I have bought more than 5 phones for me and my family, friends etc, chromecast and tablets from google store before.
