[Q] Will the Nexus 7 be available in stores?

Hey,
do you have any news if the Nexus 7 will be available in local stores in the US or CAN? If so, when and which?
Thanks

carphonewarehouse have announced they're are going to be offering it on tethered contracts in the UK ...
As i'm a new user, I cannot post a link yet...

It says in a source that it will be available I'm store for purchase a week after preorders are delivered. Only the 16gb will be available in stores and the 8gb will be available through the play store.

The 8GB version better be in stores. I'm not spending $50 on space I don't really need.

You can play with the 16gb and decide that if you like it, you can purchase it through the play store.

Um, what? I'll be losing money that way. Not only is there tax on everything you buy (which doesn't get refunded), but shipping would cost more than the $50 I would save.

I just purchased a 16GB version from the Play Store (UK) GBP209 including delivery.

Oops, sorry. I didn't know you're in Canada because I couldn't tell where it's being shipped to from the phone application. Most sources imply that the 8 gig is only via online but I hope that for Google's sake that they provide both in stores asap.

I still wonder why they don't sell it in Germany as we are a pretty big market too...

What kind of contract? There is no cellular service available for this, just Wifi.

[Q] Buying in unsupported countries

Is there any way that we can buy the Nexus 4 if we're not in the US/UK/etc.? Would really love the ability to get one and have them ship to a forwarding address or something.
And I'd rather not get it from eBay or Amazon since there's the whole price mark-up thing. =(

Expansys and Negri Electronics ships internationally.

I want to buy Nexus 4 asap. Its available only on Google Play for now and only in supported countries, so cant use Expansys/Negri. How do I get notifications on pre-order dates since Google Play is not even cataloguing Nexus 4 in India? and is there a way I can pre-order sitting here in India?

yeah, And I believe that Expansys and Negri both will sell it for more than the Play store as well...

What about the warranty?
Is it international? If so, who pays the shipping costs in case the N4 needs to be sent to LG for repairing ?

Will amazon or expansys also sell the Nexus 4?

Does anyone know if by December 18th Amazon or Expansys will sell the Nexus 4 16GB? (it can be other trusted companies too) I'm going to the US, fort lauderdale, florida hopefully by the 22 of december and stay for about 4 days so I'm hoping I can buy it from The Bahamas (where I live) and get it shipped to the hotel I'll be staying in or fedex's office.
I know Google Play is selling it but will I get it before four days? This is because I'm not allowed to buy it from The Bahamas so I'll have to buy it as soon as I arrive to the US What was your experience guys? Buying the Nexus 7 or other smartphones or tablets from Google Play.. how long did it take? Thanks in advance
p.s- I can pay for expedited shipping.

It should get there before 4days. Google stated it will ship that same day and its 2 day shipping.

Here's your shipping info http://www.androidauthority.com/google-ships-nexus-4-nexus-10-starting-november-13-no-pre-orders-130335/
Not sure about amazon, but I thought it was on the expansys site already? If it isn't they must have taken it off

Thanks and I must have checked expansys pre-orders everyday for like two weeks and I haven't seen it every time I searched it...

How long did it take for the other nexus devices to get to amazon? I'd really rather purchase from there even if I have to wait a bit because of the 30 day return policy, as opposed to Google's 15 day and restocking fee nonsense. (just in case, you know?)

you're asking the wrong person :3 I know its a rethorical questions but I really don't know xD this is my first time interested in a nexus

Yesterday I sent an email to Expansys regarding the Nexus 4 so I will report here in case they are planning to sell it.

Imagine how mad every carrier/phone company would be if AMAZON started to sell Nexus4 for $350. I don't think it's likely.

I doubt Amazon will sell. Best bet is a reseller posting it on Amazon but for more than play store as it wouldn't make sense otherwise. I think this was the case with the gnex as well.

Unlocked Nexus 4 is sold at Amazon right now!
Hi good news everyone, now Amazon is selling Nexus 4, both 8 and 16GB models. And also Nexus 7 (not the 3G model by the way). This news actually just arrived a while ago because i haven't found any site reporting this.
And the good thing is, Amazon has many sellers selling Nexus 4 in many different price tags.
Find this on Google "Unlocked Google Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 Sold at Amazon!!"

[Q] Swappa Prices High?

I was on the Swappa site thinking I might purchase a Nexus 4 for less than retail but noticed the price is way higher than the retail for 16gb version ($349.00) on the Play store.
Why is this?

should be in q and a

Sorry about that, can I move it?

My guess would be people who can't purchase the device because it's not being sold in their market are driving 3rd party sales prices up

$350 before taxes and shipping. In my state that comes out to like $390.
Also a lot of those may have been put up when the phone was out of stock.
They put what they want to ask on there, so it's on them if the phone doesn't sell.

Might as well get one from the play store. It's cheaper there.

I've bought a nexus 4 this Monday in the Media Markt in Ghent and it was 430€, though this was the normal price in Belgium. Since the price was dropped yesterday I felt quite cheated so I bought a new one from Germany. It will cost me 275€ in total (with shipping fees) and I will save 155€, which is quite significant! I've posted how I ordered the phone from German Google play on tweakers.

Did you get it in Zwijnaarde or Oostakker? Just for science.
I got mine in march for 395€ in Aachen,Germany. I asked in a mediamarkt in Belgium why it is so much more expensive and he said it has something to do with taxes. I guess it is just MM who knows that some people dont qant to go to Germany or dont want to import a phone...

In Zwijnaarde. 400€ in march is reasonable, but the MM still hasn't changed it price in half a year. I know it was quite stupid to buy one there, but it was in my hands and wanted it badly. It's going back tomorrow and I hope they give me a voucher for it. My other nexus is being processed by google. Hope I get it quickly.

Didn't really looked for that as I don't need a bumper on my phone. They had a lot of bumpers, but it was the last nexus 4 in their stock, so I don't quite know.

Do you live close to Germany? If yes go there its much cheaper (€329 before the price drop). And if not see if the gas price for driving to germany is still cheaper than the price in Belgium!
Just find the nearest german media markt or saturn.

8 or 16 GB?
Because that's exactly what I paid when buying my 8GB N4 on the German play store.
Also, why do people drive to German stores from Belgium? Is it not possible to order it from the German play store into Belgium? Shouldn't be too much shipping costs within the EU, crossing only one border (certainly less than gas money). If there are any at all. Or does Google restrict this?
Anyway, I heard from other European countries, that the N4 is more expensive than in Germany there, which of course makes it even more expensive than in US stores.

Indeed, google restricts this. This monday I've bought a nexus 4 in belgium for 430 euro (570$ converted). But with the price drop I'm going to turn it back in. My new nexus will cost 275€ and is imported from Germany.
