Canadian N1 Users (Rogers Version)

Hi everyone, I am soon going to be buying the newer version of the nexus one with 3G support for Rogers,
When I start the buying process on google, it doesn't show you the price until the very end.
So I was wondering if anyone has already gotten this phone or not? and How much you had to pay at the end? (I mean after the currency conversion, shipping charges, and customs taxes) please let me know if you ordered yours this week and how much customs did you have to pay.. as this will really help me buy this phone since I am on a tight budget...
Thanks

Considering that the phone was only available to Canada yesterday - you will be one of the first to order directly from Canada. With that said, I did order a T-Mobile version - but I had it shipped to HK (Last week). Shipping was $26.16 and I ended up paying $584.35 CAD (this amount shows up in my Credit card statement) and there should be no taxes since my relative has nothing to bring back except for the phone - which is well within the personal exemption limit of $750 for Canadians.

Ordered from Google last night. Total was USD $556.16 to ship to Canada.
Has not shipped yet, will let you know.

UK(or European) 32GB version not avaiable?!?

Good evening,
I was unable to find 32GB version of Samsung Galaxy Tab anywhere and I did extensive research. Is there even one being sold?
I mean 32GB of internal memory, not deals on ebay/carphone/anywhere with added free 16 microSDHC card. Even retail stores were unable to answer my question (London).
I can buy the card myself, I just hope they will introduce the proper 32GB version before Christmas...

Few available on eBay. Not sure which 3G bands they're using though.

to my knowledge it comes with 16GB max on device storage, could be wrong but that is what i have been told (in the US atleast)

ebay has nothing...

they are 16GB version with free 16GB microSDHC card, I've just checked ebay.co.uk minute ago
I don't want US version, the topic is about European versions (with "phone" capabilities) which were promised to come in 2 flavours, 16GB and 32GB.
So far the 32GB version is nowhere to find, maybe it's the "rumored AMOLED" who knows ;-)

Its been available here (Holland), but it sells out really fast it seems, and that will only get faster as the Tab is now starting to be seriously advertised (and is available here free on contract).

are you sure it wasn't bundle with a 16GB card?
according to news on engadget (sorry no link low posts), 1 million Galaxy Tabs are already sold (probably to retail stores only but it's success anyway):
yet no matter how hard you try, you won't find real 32GB version in UK which is usually the first "IT European Market" beating Germany most of the time in avaiability, so Holland avaiability is surprising...
any Dutch internet link that I can import/buy the 32GB version to UK? I assume 3G would work fine if it's not locked...

Yep, but its contract only and gone again! Whenever I've seen it online it goes straight to the top of the contract sales charts and is sold out within a couple of days. Its common for very popular devices to be contract only initially as thats where the operators make the most money. I would assume thats the reason its so tough to get right now and with Samsung's revised prediction of 1.5m by the end of year (a 50% increase), its highly unlikely you'll find one before the end of the year.

32GB version still hard to find...
Christmas is almost here and 32GB version in UK is non-existent, and I'm pretty sure it is scarce throughout the whole Europe (I've just checked Germany and some) except very few (above) exceptions.
although Amazon dropped the price to £399, which makes 16GB version bloody cheap and tempting, I need 32GB version (internal memory) of Galaxy Tab instead (various reasons).
thanks for anybody helping me with the quest, I really wonder how Samsung could fail so much of delivering on promises, and is realasing useless "luxury" versions instead...

Sorry to hear of your plight CowGaR.
If you decide 16GB + 16GB is acceptable im selling my tab as we speak, including the keyboard dock and official case. Its literally a week old and stock firmware. It comes as new with protective films attached, acceories sealed and with a reciept. Ive got £600 worth of entertainment codes as well. Just got a tab through work so im gonna shift this one and have an iPad as well to keep the family happy.
Ill get round to posting a link in the market section later.

Weren't carphone doing a 32gb one or was it just a free micro sd bundle

Australian launch.

The Australian Samsung Galaxy Note launch will not happen till February!
While announcing it's Galaxy Note World Tour event in Jakarta, Indonesia,
"Samsung also mentioned that Australia will only see the handset come February 01 in 2012." according to Cnet.
February is quite some time away. Could Samsung be waiting to roll out ICS to the note before launching it in Australia to avoid more Apple lawsuits?
Samsung recently changed the look of the galaxy tab in Germany for the same reason.
I know companies launch products in different markets at different times for a huge variety of reasons, but I can't stand the waiting game
(need to get it on plan as a work thing, so no ordering from overseas, ha ha)
Also, I have been asking Optus about the Galaxy note:
-Online help confirmed that they are looking forward to its release on the Optus network and to expect to hear more soon.
-An instore sales rep also said that he had played about with one at training in Sydney recently, but they still have yet to confirm release date for the phone.
So looks like at least one carrier will be selling the Galaxy note over here

That's Australia For You

I live in perth and naturally knew it would be a life time before Australia gets this phone so I it ordered online. If you can afford it, it's worth it because I just went and stuck a virgin sim card in there and went on my way.
It's a better option than waiting till Feb and then seeing the optus deal somehow fall through and the note only being on telestra or something haha. By all means do what you feel comfortable with

Got mine from becextech
Took about a week from placing order. Came from Hong Kong. Had it for a week & very impressed.
Gave the missus my 3GS

My wife bought me the Note as an early Christmas present.... Ordered Friday afternoon from Handtec in the UK, delivered to my hand in Australia mid-morning Monday.
At the time it came in at 449GBP plus around 30GBP in delivery I think?
Screw waiting for Australian carriers to realise it exists, then buggerise around organising their 'deals' with Samsung to install as much crap on it as they can get away with before finally letting their privileged customers get their mitts on it for $79/month or more on a 2 year contract.

got mine from mobicity. it was a polish version that was shipped from hong kong to australia. got it within 3 days of ordering, which is pretty awesome. they also offer a local warranty, which is pretty nice.
most of the time, buying a phone in australia is silly. despite our aussie dollar being pretty strong right now, they still expect us to pay outrageous prices for a local model. as an example, i nabbed a brand new n900 on ebay for $400 from hong kong, harvey norman were charging $850 for an n900.
just buy it online, its worth it.

I love the fact that all 4 replies were convincing me to get it right now...
actually worked too!
I think I'll order one next pay check, since they will probably put it overly pricey contract at first anyway D: Thanks guys!

Got mine from Expansys, was here in a few days, screw waiting until feb so they can bake some crappy exclusive Telstra/Optus/Vodafone firmware with a ton of bloatware, probably also cheaper to get imported.
I paid $730 delivered, can't imagine the outright price from any of the AU carriers will be close to that.

October 4th, but think it was Germany that might get it later this month.

C'mon, why so late? It can become obsolete due to incoming new Nexus or SGS4 I9506

Its a great piece of hardware, mine was delivered yesterday morning, worth the wait!!

My 32gb is supposed to ship on the 30th of this month. In Norway.

[Q] G2 launch in Germany?

Does anyone know any release dates for the G2 in Germany? Last news I saw was some pre-order price drop down but that was on August 22th, and for some reason the 32GB version didn't get the drop (at least the pre-order version at my store).
It's been a month in pre-order state already and it's killing me so much I'm almost willing to get a Z1 instead (which has been available since 2 weeks ago).
Thanks

I live in Switzerland and I'm also waiting for it. I only know the release in France which will be between the next two weeks, so we may expect it as well (hopefully?)

It should be out since 30th september. But actually... it isn't. If the Nexus 5 is available earlier I'll go for it.

You can get it from amazon.de for €499, in stock now.

Yeah, but only the 16GB version. I'm not sure if that's enough for me so I'm waiting for the 32GB version.

In switzerland we can get it mid-october, in germany it could be around the same time. (32GB)
If you live in Germany, you could buy the 16GBv at amazon from billiger de, they told me it is available from stock.

Weird, the 16GB still shows in pre-order everywhere here. And again, not sure if 16GB is enough for me, so I guess I'll wait it out a bit and see if the 32GB version gets its price lowered as well (16GB went from 600 -> 500, 32GB still at 630).
I live in Portugal, but usually order tech stuff from Germany since it's cheaper and some shops ship internationally. Haven't been able to find better international shops elsewhere (Swiss ones I found don't ship here for example).
At any rate, thanks for the ETA.
