I dont know but I am getting mine in the states just before I head to China, because it looks to me like its mostly North America and Europe that our getting it.
Depending on how many units google manages to ship in the first few weeks and when they start shipping. If the supply keeps up, you can expect to see Nexus 7 in every electronics bazar. The Chinese are just as excited about it as we are. Ask your local guy to bring you there. If the supply is tight for any reason, you'll still be able to get it from Taobao, their version of Ebay.
You should bump this thread before you leave for China, the situation would be a little more clearer by then.
It took the New Ipad about 2 months to flood the Mainland market. But they sell it officially in Hong Kong so that's an important factor.
Sounds like you have been there some, do you know if you can still access cloud servers in mainland, possible vpns?
Questions go in the Q&A section
Happy to tell you
I am living in Shanghai, I will be happy to tell you when it will be in the electronic markets. I asked my guy yesterday, told me he hopes it will be here end of July, mid August but he was not sure.

I live in hong kong, would be happy to see if it arrives at the end of july too.
I hope its localized version, and not just ones they bring back from the states (water product) which will be more expensive

I don't know. I have never had an android device. But this tablet is also big in China and there will be more information on everything once people get their hands on them. My ipad and iphone can surf the net no problem with a VPN that costs 3 dollar a month when I'm in China. I don't forsee any problem in that department.

The words on Chinese android forums are, Jelly Bean already supports Chinese, simplified and traditional, natively. Obviously the bundled apps et cetera would be US centric, instead of localised with QQ, Taobao and what have you, but the system can be set to Chinese without problem.

Yes, you can access cloud servers in mainland through vpns

Who cares about the Chicoms, what about Taiwan?
Not much to "up" about, I'm afraid. No official news yet. As for imported models, as someone already pointed out, you can stay sure you'll find plenty 2-3 weeks after US release in the various electronic bazaars.
uppp
Bumping only makes sense once the shipping starts. China is not going to get it before the listed countries do.

I am pretty sure you can get one from a C2C website "taobao". But you need to pay extra money since it is just released.
Anyone that understands the Hong Kong/China market/culture will tell you to never buy the early "water" (HK slang term for imports) batches that arrives, because the almost certainty that they will jack up the price to at least double the asking price compared to buying it elsewhere (such as the US). The Chinese people are notorious for cashing in on early adopters.
The price will also stay high until it is released officially in Hong Kong and/or China, when from that point all "water" (import) versions will see a price crash, dropping to cost cheaper than the Hong Kong/China official price. When it reaches this stage, the main argument is that imports don't have a warranty, whereas home released versions do.
TL;DR version, if you can get from the US or other google listed country via friends or whatever, do it and avoid being ripped off for being an early adopter. Unless you want to pay about $4000 HKD ($200 USD) for it when it's only worth about $2000 HKD ($200 USD).
there's a white Nexus 7 IO version on sale now.. for $5000 HK
which is probably smth like $500 lol
Thank god I live in the UK. Don't pay through the nose buying an overpriced N7, which kind of defeats the purpose of its cheap pricing in the first place.

Hey guys,
I'm currently living in Japan. I already purchased a Nexus 7 here for quite cheap.
Obviously, I eagerly awaited the release of the Nexus 4 here in Japan.
Just to find out that Google decided not to sell it here after all!
So my question basically is: how do I get a Nexus 4 here in Japan for the fewest bucks possible?
I found one site called 1ShopMobile.com which seemingly is legit.
(I found a blog post where a Japanese had received their package with the Nexus 4).
They charge 500 USD for the 16gb version including shipping.
Please note that I'm from Europe, so that I compare currencies to the Euro.
500 USD equals about 380 Euro, which is only 30 Euro more than on the European Google Play Stores.
Do you guys know other ways to import a Nexus 4 to Japan?
Other websites, forwarding services, etc. Also not necessarily from the US.
Any ideas or experiences would be appreciated!
Thank you very much.
Moved to Q&A
I have not seen this thread yet so I have been calculating how long it was for the nexus 6 to appear on the Hong Kong play store. It seems that Nexus 9 is out on the Hong Kong Play Store. Only grey color and only in Wifi so far. Also only delivers in 3 weeks. HKD 3088 for the 16gb and HKD3688 for the 32gb. Anyone already ordered one?
Personally I am thinking of waiting for the gold one, also for the keyboard to come out. Although Google has not always been that great with accessories and their availability.
Keyboard is ridiculous price! Cheaper alternative for me!
Can't believe it's so cheap in HK!
Man, tempted to go to HK for a holiday now and buy a Nexus 9. My gf would love to go back sometime. We lived there for a year 2012/2013. Plus UK plug heads etc.
The prices at different regions depend on the tax (at least part of the price). If I remember correctly the tax price of tech product in HK is not that high comparining to Europe.
PS. I also ordered mine from HK play store
How much is shipping from the HK Google Play store? I'll be travelling to HK soon and am thinking of getting one whilst I'm there.

Less than I can think of lol
the white 16gb Wi-Fi is also available
just wonder if the gold one has a stiff back like the white nexus 5 or the more rubberlike texture like the black n5

Hong Kong really cheap

The term "cheap" should depends on the average income for people in that region
So, up until yesterday, the Play store was showing shipping as 2-3 weeks. This has now been updated as showing "Leaves warehouse by November 5".
Also, should add, no sales tax in HK, which is sometimes why things are a bit cheaper here sometimes (but we do have lots of unofficial hidden taxes which sometimes result in things being more expensive here compared to other parts of the world).
I have not been able to see the white one, must be different for everyone. I think you can RMA with google play store in case of QA problems. It is tempting to be one of the first to use the Nexus 9 tho.
i am heading to HK on holiday on Nov 14, any kind friends from HK can advise me when is the rough date to order the nexus 9 so it can reach my hotel say between 16-18 nov? Also, is there any post office or service address where i can have it ship to so i can self collect while they safe keep for me? i would prefer the latter though. thanks!
Also, would you ahve any idea of trusted and reputable retail shops in HK to purchase the nexus 9?

The official claim from Google is 2-5 business day for delivery after the product has left the warehouse and the warehouse for Hong Kong market is located in Singapore.
Most of the big stores in Hong Kong are trustworthy, but you can expect they might sell it a little bit higher than Play store
Waiting for LTE 32GB to be available.

Never piss off wife. You always have to pay that too with interest.
Now showing as delivery within 1-2 business days. Did anyone decide to get?
Seems the reviews have not been the most favourable.
I am debating whether to hold out until seeing how Lollipop performs on my N7 before committing to the N9.

Dear All,
There seems to be no news on the availability of the 6P for Hong Kong. Anyone have any news on the availability for HK.
Thanks.

Unfortunately i don't think anyone knows anything about Hong Kong availability, i have friends that work at Google in Hong Kong and they don't know
furble,
Considering Nexus 5 release in Hong Kong was one of the earlier cities to get them back them, one would think Hong Kong would be one of earlier cities to get stock since Huawei has a decent presence in HK.
Yeah that's what I was thinking, but you see all these release dates and preorders in other countries and no news for Hong Kong.
Like i said, i asked my friend that works at Google Hong Kong and they told me they asked around and noone knows anything....
Hoping it comes out soon, my current phone is 3yrs old and this is most likely my next phone
dying to know this myself as i'm based in HK too. Huawei has a really big retail market here in HK so I think there will be a set release date with no need to preorder from google. Retail shopping is so big here.
I guess it most likely will be available this year. ?HK is not a big market and it probably won't make a dent in their small inventory.

Ye, it won't make a dent in their market with Nexus phones but there is a lot of authorised Huawei retail stores in HK which will stock them locally. Judging by that, there should be stock on release date.
Nexus phones aren't big here in HK but since its Huawei, and their presence in HK, it should do pretty well.
I remember Nexus 5 wasn't even for sale on any big retail stores. It should change this year.

I think Nexus 5 was available in Hong Kong, because i saw a friend had one the other week (old one) and he said he bought it from Fortress

That was what I thought when the N5 came out. I thought the retails shops didn't have them but they did stock them. I just asked and did have them in stock. Huawei HK website doesn't even mention the 6P so don't know what they are doing now. Like it was with the N5, the retail stores sold them at a premium compared to the Google Store. This will most likely happen this time around with the 6P. Google, make them available in November 2015!!!!!
Hey guys, so I was getting impatient too. I recommend you check out price.com.hk for list of shops that take reservations. I pre-ordered with CW Professional shop in CWB; they provide official warranty and I can pickup the 6P between Nov 3-6. I can't wait!
Where do they get the 6P?

Madeo,
Nice heads up on the find but watch out where they get their stock. Is this the 6P China version? HK version? North American version? I'm thinking their getting the China version which I don't know if there is a difference on the software side.
They said "100% 原裝正行, 中港聯保"
The official Google page have a sign up for news, but that's it.
I'm also waiting for official release in HK.
The Nexus 5 was available to buy in HK, it's just that most shops would rather sell you Samsung/Apple products instead. In the end I bought my wife a Nexus 5 directly from Google about a week after release.
We have to wait for Madeo to receive his handset from CW and see if it is legit or just wait it out. I have a hunch it will be available in November 2015 from Google Store.
How much is it and which model did you preorder?
Don't buy from retail store...

The prices are always higher then Google Store. I remember they priced it at $3800 for 16GB and $4300 for 32GB for N5. Further, they are usually opened and demoed before purchase by the consumer. At least we know handsets from Google Store are sealed box.

Looking back at my purchase history, I bought a white 16GB for HK$3,198 on Nov 20 2014, it arrived about about 3-4 working days later.
Google price will always be around the same as Fortress/Broadway shops, but you don't get any extras (screen protector usually).
Luckily there wasn't any defects on the phone but I think it would have been very easy for Google to pickup and send a replacement anyway.
I bought the Aluminium 32GB for 4688$HK ; that's the expected official price from the playstore hk. I'll let you guys know as soon as I pickup my device. Google will probably release the 6P in HK late November or early Dec but I can't wait; my current phone is dying on me.

Madeo,
Yes, who knows when they will start selling in HK (Google Store). Since, CW sells it at the Google price then it is all the better for the consumer. My Desire 820 alarm is all whacked. It comes on only a few time during the work week which is killing me.
Sin Dat and other local places
Dear All,
Anyone check out Sin Dat for the price and availability. Also, any cases or tempered glass screen protectors available in HK yet.
Was the nexus 6p discontinued in Germany? I convinced a friend to get it, and was shocked to see that you cannot find the phone listed anymore on saturn's and mediamarkt's websites, arguably Germany's biggest retailers, have you guys heard anything about it? I'm totally confused
P.s: You can still buy on google's store
