Don't know exactly if there's any CDMA variant, but as long as it's a GSM version it should work fine.

Since it's unlocked, the phone should work in any compatible GSM network. So yes.

as long as the radio bands match. i assume gsm bands are standard.

i have buy the nexus 4 on USA playstore and use it in italy whitout problem

Every single Nexus 4 is exactly the same. Doesn't matter where you buy it from.

I bought a nexus for someone there in Italy, I'm in the us.. May I please ask what ac power adapter you use to charge your phone? Also, is there any online store you'd recommend for accessories etc where I can pay with a US card? I hope you can help me out =)
Thanks

They're all international Nexus 4s. I don't it matter where you buy it. It'll be the same as the one from another country. My friend has a Nexus 4 from the U.K and it's the same one as if it was bought from the U.S play store.

But what about the power outlets? Does the nexus 4 come with an international charger and different outlet adaptors? I get that it's the same phone, I'm just concerned about the power outlets as they are different in Italy than in the US.

Stock AC charger is a piece of sh1t. Included USB cable is OK. Just get an ac to USB charger for your country. Problem solved. Good day.

I have a question: on the google store, if i press on "shop now", it says that devices are not supported in my country (italy).
Then how am i supposed to buy it? is there any website that offers the same prices? If you order it outside the google store, its price rises from 299$ to 410$ (saw it on Amazon.com) which i think is crazy.

I don`t think 410 dollars (317 euro`s, for the 16GB i assume) is crazy for a high end phone like the N4. The S4 pre-order price of 699 euro`s that`s crazy

Tab 2 7.0 w/ GSM?

The Samsung website, list the Galaxy Tab 2 (7.0) with +HSPA ability... but I can not find any stores that sell it.
BestBuy.com only list it w/ WiFi capabilities.
Does anyone know where to purchase the +HSPA (GSM) model? And please no sites like eBay..
I want a reputable store.. bestbuy, frys electronics, tigerdirect, etc. No Chinese CrackStores on ebay.
Thank you...
I think you should post your country
If country is not necessarily for you, I can recommend at least nine nice stores in Ukraine

That site seems to Highly Overprice its items... iPhone 4S 16GB Original Price $1,198? I think not.. Their sale price is still more than the Unlocked version straight from the Apple Store ($649.00) and the Galaxy Nexus is priced $30 more than what I paid via the Google Store.
Think I'll keep looking... plus I'm not familiar with that Retailer. Really looking for somewhere I can walk in and buy..

The Galaxy tab2 is not overpriced on that website,although the Galaxy Nexus (I also bought mine from Google Play) and the Nexus 7 tab are, and I agree with you.As for the iPhone they are overpriced everywhere regardless of the website.
And yes you can get the p-3100 in the US.

The 'Other places that sell No-Contract unlocked Nexus 4 @US349 ' thread

Revise the topic
I Know USA usually sell high end phones with carrier contract
No Contract phone in Online store usually is a low end phone
Any place will sell the High end phone like Nexus 4 with no contract + unlocked and the price US349?

Hi
I am not talking about purchase under play store, as google will reject order
buy from others us online store may be easier
nexus 7 sell at many US online store and same price as playstore
but i don't know the situation in phone as same as tablet or not
Galaxy Nexus sell at play store at us349
but none of these online store sell it,
even they sell galaxy nexus , the price become US400+
I am very interested in this topic, I will come to America from Italy in 2 weeks and I would take the nexus 4, only that I do not know yet where it will sell in stores, any of you know where I can find it? I felt that I could find in the t-mobile store, but it is an unconfirmed rumor.

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.

Anyone shipped from S. Korea?

I'm currently with a Nexus 4 but I definitely want the G2 beasty. The only thing stopping me is the lack of a SD slot. Has anybody purchased one from S. Korea and had it shipped? If so, what store did you use. I'm in Europe and so far my searches have come up with zilch.

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

IMO, it's pretty good.. Previously using iPhone 5.. Went to school with 100% came home with about 60%.. and that's just a two hour lecture.. with about 1 hour bus ride in total.. But now with the OPO, its go with 100% come home with about 80%.. Camera wise, it's fine for me but I don't have a really high requirement considering it's a phone

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.

Hey, I'm in Melbourne too - did you get yours from an invite or 3rd party store?
I'm still hoping to get an invite but am getting impatient and might just pull the trigger on Aliexpress or similar.
Which carrier are you with?

any other got same issue?
I ordered mine last night from OnePlus via an invite, waiting on it to ship
@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.
