I'm trying to purchase the N1 in the U.S. I'm from Canada but I live 2 minutes from the border. I tried ordering online and having it shipped to a U.S. address I use all the time but Google didn't seem to appreciate that and canceled my order and temporarily suspended my account.
I can only find reference to Tmo versions being sold at some outlets, but nothing for the ATT version.
Any reason you don't want to ship it to Canada? It got here the next day for me, and legally you need to pay taxes even if you are just driving over, don't you?
Edit with content relevant to your question: No, I don't think any store sell the 850 band Nexus One. Sorry

Why would they cancel your order?
sorry but that sounds fishy.
Even as a foreigner you should be able to order it and ship it to a US address.

I supplied them with emailed info but I zero idea if they have received anything or how long it takes to clean up the mess. Beyond that one email I have received nothing else from Google, extremely frustrating and there is no phone number to call.
I can see why selling the N1 online was such a failure.
Hey guys!
Is there any info about when it will be available outside of the U.S.? Especially Germany?
Could not find anything on the amazon.com website...
None. They haven't announced any availability outside the US unfortunately. It looks like we'll have to import one if we want one before Christmas. One Amazon Man simply said stay tuned, but my guess is not till 2012 to keep the Americans happy at Christmas.
First they need to open the appstore outwith the US, it would also help if they also added movie streaming, their cloud music service etc.
In the UK at the moment the only amazon services it could use are kindle books, music downloads and ordering stuff for amazon to send to you.
Just wait until they start getting up in eBay
Just use a postal forwarding service - www.shipito.com is the best one I've found. Especially since shipping within America is free, you only have to pay normal postage, and their postage rates are cheap because they have so much volume with the shipping companies. If needed you might have to use a proxy as Amazon might only allow US I.P addresses.
If the Fire is a cloud based device, you would need a lot of bandwith in your contract. Even then, did you try to stream videos to your handset.. Imagine streaming to you Kindle ! The Kindle Fire will rely on LTE (4G) communication, i´m pretty sure about that. So in fact, even if they ship to germany or in my case to austria you´ll need a LOT of fast mobile bandwidth, which is VERY expensive, if avaible at all.
I don't know where you get your informations, but Kindle Fire is WiFi only according to Amazon.com.

i've google it but found nothing regarding international availability. wait & see.
I'm suffering, because i cant pre-order this "i think" awesome product..
who else is feeling the same.
Hopefully other retailers will sell these to the countries Google has over looked.
I doubt that there will be many for sale at reasonable prices on Ebay when they first come out.
I'm waiting for this type of tablet, why is the world so divided
Well count me in...
I was watching I/O and as they showed it I got more and more excited. Then they said where it will be available and I wanted to cry :banghead:
sent from my Galaxy Nexus
I want to order nexus 7 but in my country it is not available.
The retail market will sold it much more that the google's price... I think about 300 Euro or more. Will live and see...
Well in my case i used tor to access USA Play and change my shipping address to a mailbox on miami.
I preordered from Norway using my mastercard and an american shipping address that acts as a forwarding address to my Norwegian address. Jetcarrier.com. Ads around 25$.

Did you use a norwegian credit card or how did you get a us-one? I heard only cards issued in US, UK and Canada would be accepted.
Thanks
Tried different cards and Visa was not accepted, maybe because Mastercard is a Google Wallet Partner? Dunno, maybe it was just a glitch. Lets see if anyone else manages to order from an illegal location with a local card.
Well tried to preorder but got the unconfortable message stating that the device is not available in my country and that they are doing their "best" to make it possible as soon as they can. Which is I am guessing by the end of the year for 100 euros more in retail store. I'd really like to have the same price and treatment by buying directly from the play store but no official details on that either... That's complete bs. Why make such a global product so restricted for so many areas. my money ain't green enough I guess.
PS: apparently there are no official confirmations for a launch in Europe yet...
i really don't like that. i planned to instantly order one, because i waited so long for a 7inch tablet that's worth the money.
i'm pissed.
EDIT: probably we find some nice guys here at XDA who can buy and send us those awsome tabs? XDA Marketplace ftw?

I Ordered a Nexus 7 (16GB) with a similar Service as runemail. It seems they accepted my Austrian Visa Card.

How? Can you please describe it a bit more detailed? I'm from Austria too and want one.
What were the costs for the shipping and the service?
What will you have to pay in total?

I made an account at Borderlinx, they give you an US-Adress where google will send the device first, then they send it to you. I have to pay 280$ to google, and about 370 total, thats about 300 Euro which is not cheap but ok i guess.
@salv-ice
Yes i used Hotspot Shield.

Wouldn't it be cheaper to do it from the UK?
can't just someone from the US buy me one and send it to me?
I'm paying all the costs.. xP

I guess, but strangely they didnt accept my credit card there.:silly:
For info, I just read on a french tech news site that Asus will distribute the Nexus 7 through it's own network (but no date announced yet) !
So we should find it in stores outside US / UK
Let me start by apologising if I've put this thread in the wrong place. I just need some help with a purchase if possible from anyone who's experienced the same problem that I've had.
The situation is, that I have been following the release of both the LG Watch Urbane 2nd Edition and the Samsung Gear S2 3G with great excitement. Well it was a tossup between the two products and I really, really like both. Anyhow, I eventually decided on buying them both if I could afford it. To cut a long story short, both these watches have or are just about to be released in the US with no chance or very little chance of them being released in the UK. I've been desperately trying to buy these both from AT&T for $299 each with no contract but everytime I think I'm getting there, I come up against a problem. I've called AT&T, Samsung and LG USA so many times I dread to think what my phone bill is. I've live chatted with so many agents to make sure I can use the devices and they have confirmed that I could buy them with no contract for $299 each but I would need to take a data plan out which I can cancel within 30 days of receiving the watches when I get them in the UK.
Well basically, I can't buy them over the phone because the agents have told me their system won't let them do it because I'm outside the US. I can't buy it online because it asks for a social security number which I don't have and then my billing address is a UK one and the AT&T website won't let me put my UK postcode in, only a zip code. So my card details have to match the billing address otherwise the card gets declined.
AT&T suggested I had a friend or family member go into store and buy it for me and post it to the UK, but I don't know anyone living in the US. There are some buying services like shipito but they do charge quite a bit after fees etc.
Sorry for the rambling but there must be some way for me to make this transaction and I'm hoping that someone reading this from the US may have a brainwave or might be able to help.
If anyone reading this has any ideas to help or knows what I can do, I would be so grateful as it's driving me crazy.
Kindest Regards Matt
Hi Matt i have the same situation but if you know a friend in U.S. can purchase for you and send it to UK

No I wish I did know someone over there who could purchase it for me. I've tried numerous US buying services who buy it for you and then ship it over for a fee but no luck as they can't purchase the data plan. May have to see if it comes to a retailer such as bestbuy.
Im currently using a nexus 5. My screen is broken pretty badlyand and my headphone jack is failing. I really like the specs of the force/turbo. I'm on ATT so I would need to go force. I'd also like to get the force so I can root. But I'm haveing a hard time finding the phone on the market though. Is there anyone in the US that is using the force? If so where did you end up buying it from? Are you enjoying it?
You can get one from Mexico. I've got mine from UK because I went to EU for holidays. I'm really enjoying it. The best Android phone I ever had and the first one I'm using at is. No bl unlock, no root. Strange feeling
Usually I'm unlcoking and flashing custom rom max few days, max one month after purchase.
Did you order from the Motorola EU online store or did you buy it in person somewhere? I looked at the Mexico Motorola store today but it looks like they will only ship to Mexico. Need Google translator to confirm though.

I won it on ebay auction. Few shops from UK selling it too. Jaocagomez can help you to get one from Mexico.
I'm still in Europe (Budapest) on business trip and flying back to San Jose on February 6. Maybe you can order here and I can bring to you. Not sure is it good idea
Thanks, but I'd rather purchase it so it ships directly to me. No middle man hasels.
I did confirm Motorolas Mexico site will only ship to Mexico.
Hunting around I feel like the phone has not been released yet. I know its going to be released in India in February but from the news articals I read the phone was released in november, yet most webistes say preorder or coming soon. Did I miss something? Even some ebay listings reflect this. Unless you want to spend 900$+.

I ordered mine from Clove technologies in the UK
Thanks! I saw them before but didn't see an option to select US by just browsing the site. But I just tried checking out and there it was. They even have it listed for a very reasonable price.
A you wish. I wasn't sure should I offer you help or not, take responsibility, etc.
I saw one on swappa and another one on ebay, both USA sellers but prices was really bad. One from Ebay sold for $810!? Then I've checked sites from the link I posted and contacted them. If you're buying from USA then is without VAT but you're importing it in USA so you have to pay duty, tax and maybe stuck at border to get permission for importing uncertified device.
@BladeRunner could you share details how much you paid all together and did you have any problems at border. Would be really useful info for everyone.

I paid ~615 USD. It's been sitting at JFK International since the 21st, but I think that may be because of the Blizzard and a sunday rather than any issues with customs.

That's without VAT? Would be awesome if we can order phone from UK without VAT and do not pay anything else. Handtec representative told me opposite.

Yeah but it's hard to believe that you can just import without paying anything. Please keep us up to date.
I want to buy from clove store , please confirm is true if I can buy from UK???? I live in NY thanks
Thanks for looking into this so much guys!
With my gears a turning the past couple of days I think im going to hold off though. Id really like to buy straight from motorola. That way if I have any issues I can just deal with them directly. That and I gain the ability to cusomize the phone if I order through them.
Im being optamistic I know but the phone was listed on Mexico's site on Monday and just noticed it was listed for Brazil today. So you never know.
This is definatly a good thread to keep alive incase others are interested like Makiger.
So I thought I would try and do an "over the phone" order to see if there was anything special they could do. Sadly this was unsuccessful. But the agent I spoke with did say something that may be intreeging to some. It honestly could mean nothign or it could mean real soon. Who knows?
Jessel: Oh, I do apologize for that. As of the moment, this Moto X Force is not yet available on our webiste. What I can suggest is to visit third party vendors and see if they already have Moto X Force available here in the US. We looking forward to this phone to be available soon.

I think that agent doesn't have a clue what he's talking He's just repeating generic phrase. Turbo 2 is exclusive for Verizon. Do you really think that Moto can offer basically the same device in US and brake exclusive contract with Verizon?
Don't get me wrong, I would like that Moto didn't even make Turbo 2, just Force globally.

you can buy from the UK, it just takes a while to get it.
A listing just popped up on India Amazon a little early for the rumored release date..
http://www.amazon.in/gp/product/B01A8DQSW2?tag=kostprice-21
PSA:
If you do buy from Clove Technology - or any overseas store - and you're paying with PayPal, make sure to change their default currency conversion to use your credit card's exchange rate instead.
Just priced the phone (Jan 29, 2016) as £431.83 shipped to me in the USA. According to XE.com, that's $613.78 USD with a conversion rate of 1 USD = 0.703554 GBP.
PayPal was giving me a rate @ 1 USD = 0.678425045 GBP, which would make the cost $636.52 USD, or an increase of $22.74, which is a full tank of gas for me.
Good Experience With Handtec
I got mine from Handtec UK (Sorry, can't post a link)
It arrived today in Louisiana from FedEx and it only took about 2 days to get here. No problems with customs or VAT whatsoever. All in all, it cost me around $625 (Used PayPal at Checkout), including shipping. Other than the UK wall plug it came with, I'm very satisfied so far.
