Cheap Note

Hello all, been looking at prices for while, just noticed that www.amazon.de have dropped the price of the blue Note to €507, which according to ww.xe.com is 423 pounds ( im using an american macbook and cant figure out how to do the pound sterling sign). I ordered one few nights ago at €529, but last night it was €568, price keeps varying. A lot of the reviews on the amazon.co.uk website state that they have bought it from www.amazon.de with no hassle.
Just thought you guys might like to know.

the price has been fluctuating quite a bit due to supply and demand

Great shout out, trying to work out where the English button is though, my German isn't so good

So it is about $662 USD. Not so bad.

Use chrome and it should autotranslate

Yeah, I used goods chrome, automatically translates the page for you. Just got the email letting me know that it has been posted, should have it by Monday, woohoo. iPhone 4s is on eBay, will hopefully get the money to cover the cost of the note.

Are you worried about getting it from a German source? Or is it through Amazon itself? I was looking at ordering it through Expansys-USA, but..

Ordered from Expansys and got a German version.

I also saw the new price on amazon.de. Very exciting. I finally am getting the cash to buy mine and I'll get mine from there if the price doesn't change to much.
Also, the £ sign on Windows is hold alt + 0163 and then let go of alt.
On mac it is apparently alt/option 3.
I also have a US keyboard in the UK. I prefer the layout in general and just use the alt trick to get the £ when I need it.

Your Note will come straight from Amazon.de. Even recently open spanish store Amazon.es gets their Notes from germany warehouse (they actually warn "imported from germany").
The same with Galaxy S2 that bought a month ago for a friend. You buy on spanish store and it comes from wherever it suits them (france, UK, germany).
About the price, it seems lije "A day at Stock Change". The prices go wildly up and down as low as 525 and as high as 650. Different prices the same day on different EU stores, so you must keep an eye.

Buying in USA or waiting in Canada

Hey guys, I'm from Canada and I'm planning to buy a tablet and decided to go with the note because of the multiscreen function and the s pen that could help me in my studies! Anyway my girlfriend parents are going to New Hampshire next week and they said they wouldn't mine buying one for me (obviously I would repay them ).
So I just wanted to know your opinions on either waiting for the note to come in canada (will be available to pre order soon at future shop) or make my gf parents buy one from the US and if so where would be a good place that would have them in stock? I don't want to make them drive everywhere to get it so somewhere not to complicated like a walmart, etc??
Thanks
PS: The sooner I get it, the better it is, I just can't wait anymore!!!!
Sent from my Incredible S using xda app-developers app

I remember driving around everywhere here in Maryland trying to find it when it came out. I could only find it available at Best Buy's, but they were sold out at every location. I tried looking at Office Depot, Staples, Target, and Walmart but the best tablet they were selling was the Tab 10.1 2 or the Nexus 7. I would just check Best Buy online or have one shipped to a store for pickup in NH if they are sold out so they can physically pick it up. Just check shipping times.

Some of these early models have some QC issues like light bleed. You may want to wait and buy it from a retailer who can accept a return if you are unlucky and get a faulty unit.

Yeah maybe try amazon they have a good return policy if anything.

Why would you pay $499.00 for a 16gb when for the same amount can get you a 32gb?

I got mine from B&H. It's definitely an American company, but it arrived 4 days later (cheapest option) and never seemed to spend any time in customs. The package said that it was from the B&H warehouse... in Etobicoke. I had to pay sales tax, but no duty/customs/import fees.
I'm in Calgary, so 4 days from Ontario is pretty quick! There's no way it could have crossed the border as well.
Anyways, if your girlfriend's parents can't find one in NH, I'd recommend B&H (bhphotovideo.com). I've bought camera stuff from them for years, and I've never had any "surprise" cross-border fees.

I think you guys are missing the point. In Canada the 32 gb will cost you $499. In the US the 16gb is the $499 and the 32gb is $550. So you getting more for your money if you buy it in Canada.

True... I forgot to actually reply to your post when I replied to your post!
The only advantage I can see from ordering from the States is getting the white one, and getting it faster. When I ordered mine in mid-August, Canada wasn't on the horizon. Now that it is though, I might have waited.
On the other hand, I've never come anywhere close to the 16 GB on my Nexus S (it's reading 11 free right now), so I really don't care about the extra space. I do like the white better than the grey, so I'm not kicking myself right now.

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.

Oneplus One Australia thread

Do you think Oneplus One will be jacked up in price as they do with all other devices to the point that the price is no longer an advantage? I think Oneplus One will probably cost more than Nexus devices in Australia due to additional GST and demand.

They'll Jack it up, for whatever reason Lol
I reckon it will start at $400+ here unfortunately

Personally, I'm getting mine sent to one of my dev friends in America. But you can use a mail forwarding company like Shipito to get it here. I ordered mine (64gb) yesterday, and it ended up costing me $400AUD including standard shipping to the States. The price is a bit inflated due to PayPal's ridiculous conversation rate, which was $0.90 instead of the $0.93 it should have been. On top of that I still need to get it shipped from Illinois to Melbourne, so all up I'm probably looking at anywhere between $430 to $450 I think.
Anyways, hi guys, ours nice to see an Australian thread here.

@gerardo66 - not sure what the problem is for you there. The only physical difference is the Chinese one doesn't have CyanogenMod stamped on the back.
The 4G band difference doesn't matter over here, because the 700MHz band in the international version doesn't work here anyway.
