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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

How come some websites listing Nexus 7 16GB as a discontinued product? I thought it was 8GB. I checked in JR.com they have their 16GB nexus 7 listed as discontinued. I checked my local microcenter store and they said they do not carry that product anymore. Is google discontinuing 16GB nexus 7?
I went into a few stores to pick up a 16gb model for my flatmate and an employee at HMV told me they were no longer stocking the 16gb. What I took this to mean was that Google are doing the same with the 16gb as they did with the 8gb and making it an online exclusive.
The 8gb was initially supposed to be an online playstore exclusive but they had to start distributing it to stores etc to meet the high demand of the N7. I don't think they'd discontinue it because it's how they keep a hold on the "extremely cheap" tablet option. £160 for a 16gb tablet is crazy cheap, and they'd have to be even crazier to discontinue it and make the minimum £200.
I find it odd that Argos in the UK (a huge high street retailer) only sells the 32GB, and not the 16GB (which surely would sell better).
It's on the Play store, soo
I went checked all my local stores such as Staples, Microcenter, Radioshack and all they carry is 32GB. Seems like google is only selling 16GB through its playstore as "jrush4" mentioned. Walmart is selling 16GB currently for free shipping though. I guess it won't last long either.
well i think they have discontinued the model everywhere else and are selling it here in India for Double the Price.Profit for them.

I've seen quite a few. My mother-in-law and aunt both have one... and I wasn't no where in the process. I've seen some running in the wild too. I think most people keep tablets at home.
And I'm not sure about the 16gb being discontinued as it competes directly with the 16gb iPad Mini. Google is probably just focusing their shipments of the 32gb's to get them in the wild.
I also noticed I could not find the 16gb at Sams Club, Staples, Gamestop or Office Depot
You are talking about Google here. Right?
With google you really know what they are thinking or doing.. Maybe they are going to discontinue it . Maybe they are just cutting shipping so people will but the 32 instead.Its really hard to say with Google. I do know they can NOT Keep a secret at all. So if they where really planing something We would assume it to be leaked already in some form or another. Maybe they are going to make another change to to the nexus 7 and announce it on the 13th . I to do not see why they would discontinue it. But i also know all the local Walmart and staples office depot stores have them . But only if you go into the store at staples and office depot. No advertisement .. Which is odd.
Google Google Google.. Who knows for sure all we can do is guess.
I was waiting for that, so I can exchange my 16gb with a little screen lifting for a brand new 32.
Please, more infos discontinued 16gb from EU, thanks.

Hi there!
I just purchased a Nexus 7 FHD 32GB from scan for £239.99, Their site says i will get it on the 28th but it has not been marked dispatched yet, and release date for UK is the 30th. So all you UK customers come out and say what deal you got where and how you intend to purchase your brand new baby. Make this a thread for all UK customers to see where and how they can get their nexus 7, and if you have had issues, tell us your story.
I will update OP for any info that may need to be at top.
For an overview of the Nexus 7 and Chromecast release check this video.
DEALS
16GB
Tesco Direct: £199 LINK
SCAN: £199.39 LINK
32GB
Tesco Direct: £239 LINK
SCAN: £239.18 LINK
I think the launch date is the 28th for UK. I have pre-ordered from Tesco - 16G wifi only for £179 (including the bank holiday offer of £20 off tesco direct). Tesco states launch on the 28th, expect delivery before 2nd. Hoping it might arrive by the weekend but probably depends on volume of preorders.
Yeah, UK launch is tomorrow, 28th. I plan to walk nonchalantly into my local Argos and pick one up in the morning.
Ebuyer shipped mine to me last week, had 2 of them in my hands by Friday
I ordered mine from Amazon.co.uk, 32 GB, shipped to NL for 299 euro.
Estimated delivery time August 30/31.
Does anybody knows a site in the UK where the nexus 7 is available that ships internationally and also uses Paypal for paying?(Other then Ebay)
I chased my currys pre-order today. They still had it down for delivery after September 13th, they pushed the order through as they did have stock but said it would be delivered in a couple of days. Being impatient as I am in asked them to cancel the order and ordered from ebuyer who have plenty in stock.
It's due for delivery tomorrow now and I can't wait to get my hands on it! I might have accidentally upgraded to the 32gb model in the process but shhhh... I haven't told the missus yet, I'm hoping she won't notice!
Had anyone else ordered from currys?

is this a good and trustworthy site for buying the nexus 7; http://www.tiptopelectronics.co.uk/ ?
Got mine in PC World this morning, after going Click & Collect and getting the whole dickhead salesman monologue- "You should buy one of these MiFi things so you can go online on the go despite having just told me you have a 1GB mobile allowance for tethering and rarely use more than 200MB of it", "Oh you need to buy antivirus, whenever you go online with it you could catch a virus", "Here's a case for it [Points to Nexus 7 Mk 1 case], you should totally get one in case you drop it", "You should take out our Piece of Mind plan that's twice what your accidental damage premium is, in case you GET A VIRUS or you DROP IT TWICE".
After all that the ****ing thing had some of the Taiwanese wildlife wedged into the bezel where it got crushed when they installed the glass and the display suffered from major touchscreen fail. Went straight back and got it replaced for a unit which, mercifully, works fine. Great device.
I have been to the Jarir bookstore here in khurais road but still no news of incoming nexus 6. Its kinda sad, im hoping to get the item upon getting my month end salary but the longer i wait, the more im inclined to buy note 4 which is already available at the jarir store. Anyone else here in Saudi waiting for the nexus 6? My guess the pricing will be around 2500 SR.

I hear you man. I broke my Nexus 4 last night, screen completely shattered. Don't want to buy Nexus 5 from Jarir, so I'm gonna stuck with my old SGSII for a while till the Nexus 6 is available. Using Touchwiz after using pure stock android is a drawback.
Finger crossed they'll make it available soonish.
I went back to jarir and as of today, still no word of any nexus 6 shipping. The good thing is hopefully we wont be getting the faulty first batch of nexus 6. I see alot complaints already like peeling nexus logo, flimsy speaker grill and scratched back cover.

I don't recommend asking in Almursalat area, it is better to support official channels like STC, Mobily... etc,. This way, demand on devices will guarantee fast availability on newly released devices. Unofficially, however, I'm sure that imported devices from the UK for example are available, but I wont take it with no warranty and no guarantee on full network support.
In STC magazine, the Nexus 6 was posted as a "Coming Soon" device, Most likely in the upcoming month or two, on and off contract. The prices were not announced but I'm guessing, based on previous releases like the nexus 5, that it will be around the official US price of $650 (USD).
I hope I was thorough in answering your question.
you can buy it on amazon uk. Yes, it's expensive when converting £ to SR, but this the only way now or you can wait 1-3 months. I've already paid 4173 SR (incl. tax) for nexus 6 64gb model XT1100 (LTE works in saudi arabia).

Nexus 6 Saudi Arabia
Still Jarir people are refusing to even comment on the availability of nexus 6. The point is this that why Jarir, extra and similar stores are so lazy in bringing some devices to the market in Saudi Arabia. Even they had very limited stocks of Note 4, it came and it disappeared very quickly even in Riyadh.
In Mursalat I went today and no availability of Nexus 6 there too. Anybody knows tentative launch of nexus 6 via STC?

Good News!
I'm happy to bring you the good news!! STC just released Nexus 6, exclusively, through their channels.
The price tag is SR2799 off contract with limited 1 year warranty. On-contract, however, STC is offering a whole system that depends on your "rating" and "rank" in the company's records. Call STC to know what criteria you fall under.
I would add the link to the device but I don't have that privilege, being a new user, to add links in the forum.
However, navigate to STC's website, go to devices and you'll find it in the newly added devices section, you can't miss it.
I hope you find this post helpful, have a good one.

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.

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.
