heys guys.
I'll be visiting USA when Nexus 4 will be launched.
Is it possible for an international buyer to purchase one?
Google play accepts international credit cards or USA only?
I could ship it to my hotel.
Or are there any other ways to buy it? will it be available on Retail stores?
Thank you!

According to support.google.com (can't post URL, sorry), "the country of your credit card must match the country to which you're shipping."

just read that, thank you
bad news for me
Anyone knows if there is a way to get a prepaid visa card or something like that?
I've heard about it once but no idea how it works or if it would be able to purchase on play store.
Any american know how that works?
Give me your cash. I'll use that to buy it for you.

You can try www.entropay.com
that's how I buy movies, books and musics from google play and I'm in Brazil...
I would expect that the Nexus 4 will be available in retail stores, not just the Play Store. That's how it is in Australia at least and I believe many Asian/European countries. Not entirely sure about the US but I'd guess it's the same.
I live in Mexico and I bought the nexus one after a few months it came out, I went to the page they used to have, before google play, and using a vpn bought it using a mexican visa credit card, but it was shipped to my aunt's house in USA and I went for it. If they don't release the N4 in Mexico before the christmas I gonna do the same

I live in the states and I'm heading to Italy and Spain for 2 weeks in October. I'm wondering what the best thing to do regarding a Sim is. Should I buy local (there), via the internet or? I refuse to get hosed by Cingular like last time @ $2.49 a minute.
Is there a way for me to purchase a Europe-wide card in advance so I have the # before I leave? If so, where. Is a no-name OK or shuold I buy an Vodafone or other brand name?
Will any of the cards work from a data standpoint?
Is there anything else I need to know?
Thanks in advance.

I'm Italian too and the Nexus 4 will be buyable in the end of November and the first dais of dicember from Internet and shops as Media world..
Now the question is: how much will it cost? I read in countries those can't buy it from play store (Italy, Austria, Sweden, Netherlands and others) it will cost 550 euro in 16gb version! It's a theft!
Any information about this?

im from portugal and my country doenst support google play to buy nexus devices... if it cost 550, i know some people in france and will ask them to buy one and send for my for more like 10 euros
I'm looking for another way to buy the Nexus 4 because i've read about the price in Italy and I don't want to be robbed,I can ask to my uncle in Germany and he will send it to me,but buying it in America would be a better way because I won't annoy my uncle and I could save some euros(349$ for the phone+more or less 50$ of shipping cost=309 euros).So,someone know about a site where i can buy it?If not,who could send it to me from America?

Only from an online store like amazon or expansys. In order to get it from play you must have an adress in the u.s as well as a u.s credit card.

Hi I can get it from UK as my brother still lives there and if someone wants one I can get it for you + a little extra. Of course if you don't trust me (why you should?) I can arrange a "meeting day" for delivery in the Venezia-Mestre/Padova area.
If you are interested PM me
I'm Italian but living in London.. was wondering how the warranty will work with devices bought in UK and taken to Italy, in case if issues will you have to send it back in UK?

I live in Israel, and I can't order a Nexus 4 through Google Play to where I live. But I will be in Germany on the 17th of November. Currently when I go to Google Play to try and order a Nexus 4 to Germany I get the message that I can't do it from my country (Israel). Is it possible to pre-order a Nexus 4 to Germany from outside of Germany with Google Play?
Yes you could use a VPN or proxy in Germany to connect to the Play Store. Then order it from there.

I will transit through Frankfurt on 15 or 16 November. Is there any Nexus 4 available at electric store in the shopping area.
Or Can I order and pick it up at the Frankfurt Airport (I have no Schengen Visa)?
Language options?
Hey guys,
I also plan to get it from Germany via a friend living there. The only thing I'm not sure about is whether the Nexuses (Nexi? :laugh: ) sold in Germany have Hungarian language available? I'm perfectly ok with an English-speaking phone, but these days I started using voice search in Google Now a lot and it won't understand Hungarian proper names with English enabled...
Do you know anything about this? How are other Nexus devices in this respect?
Thanks!

yes it is, but it will be the LG NEXUS and about 599 euro .... (200 euro more than the google version which you can ONLY buy on the playstore)
Actually the LG Nexus version will have LTE.... the google version has only the chip, but I read it was missing the modem in the hardware, so it is not functional)
Well.. the subject says a lot about my concern..
But the specific issue would be: Will I get the Android updates in India, if I'm using a N4 bought from UK?
PS: I believe there won't be any radio issues because they are anyway selling same N4's worldwide! Please confirm, someone?
PPS: Its N4 in the status! G4 is a typo *sort of*
Yes you should get the updates and your calling / internet should work with your Indian service provider frequency too.
I m getting one too
hey ..I am also getting one from UK. My friend will bring that for me. Can you tell me how much will be taxes and shipping over the 279 pound price.
PS : shipping to London not India :good:
Tax (VAT) is included in the price, shipping we don't know for sure yet, but it's looking like £9.99
Can anyone bring one for me
Thanks for the replies guys!
I'll ask a friend to bring one with her when she comes to India. Also, I've no idea about the shipping/ taxes but it will anyday be less than the ebay price of ~27k (16GB) in India ..
One more question. I read somewhere that phones bought in UK will be registered on Google Play with a UK account only. Is that true?
*sorry for the newb-ness*
Nope.

That's not true, there is no such thing as a "UK Account" all Google Accounts are international. My dad bought a One X in India with a Google Account he made there, and he brought it back to Australia, and it's fine. Jellybean Update, the lot. However, there are a bunch of Indian apps, like Bollywood Music Streaming, and AirIndia, that are still on the phone. But besides, that it's great.

That sounds great. As a matter of fact, that very reassuring! Thanks for sharing! ..
I believe the Indian apps should anyway vanish after installing a custom ROM!

Hi all!
I have a friend, who lives in Hong Kong and would be able to easily buy and get the phone back to me (his sister is an air stewardess) so yay for me. The 64gb option works out to be about £410-420 taking into account currency rates, which is a massive saving!
Problem is:
1) I can't check the Hong Kong version of the Google store so I can't check the availability but my friend says it's not there yet. Does anyone know when they usually stock it? I've tried using Hola extension to see if I could emulate an Hong Kong I.P address but didn't get anywhere with that.
2) Will be any band issues etc if I was to use the phone here with a sim-only contract here in the UK? How would after-sales work?
Thanks for any help!
2. HK should be the international version and fine for the UK. Zero aftersales unless you return it via the route you got it.
I'm visiting Hong Kong today and tomorrow. Can you buy the international version In any shops or is it only the Play store?
so the OG roms google released are only for one model. Since they have two Nexus 6p does the same OEM roms work on both models?
i.e. these:
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images?hl=en#angler
The best way is to ask your friend to order one sim free in the UK and send it to HK. So that you can enjoy the VAT free but to pay £20 something for delivery. Then send it back to UK for you. You will also have the local customer service in the UK.
However, I think those UK sim free vendor with international delivery does not have stock at this moment.

The only difference is the LTE bands, AFAIK.

Hmm yes that is an option but then I'll have to deal with getting the tax back etc. I think I'll risk it with getting one from HK as it'll be a bit more straight forward. There doesn't seem to be any quality control issues does there?! Hopefuly I'll get a good one and won't ever need to worry about returning it etc..

Am I right in thinking you're talking about some ROM and not the fact the HK version will be different/difficult for me to use in the UK?
No, I'm saying the HK should be the international version with UK bands fully supported. The US version only supports some of the UK LTE bands.
HK version support below freq (6P) - it lists
GSM/EDGE：850/900/1800/1900MHz
UMTS/WCDMA：B1/2/4/5/6/8/9/19
TD-SCDMA：34/39
CDMA：BC0/1
LTE (FDD)：B1/2/3/4/5/7/8/9/17/19/20/28
LTE (TDD)：B38/B39/40/41

5X just start the sale, hopefully 6P will soon be available

I trust my friend to get the device and everything...but not his speed in replying back to me/actually doing it lol and I'm worried it'll get sold out.
He thinks it will be easier/available in local shops like Fortress and Broadway. What do you think? Did the 4, 5 and 6 come out as soon as it was for sale online?
Thanks.

for the local shop sales, it seems it is different to the past, as 5X start online sales yesterday, there is no local sales yet, in the past, shop sales start 1-2 weeks prior online
