I was really happy about the Nexus 6P, but the prices are really confusing (and not what I hoped for).
The 6P in the US (w/o tax):
32 GB / 500 $, 64 GB / 550 $, 128 GB / 650 $
The 6P in Germany (with tax):
32 GB / 650 €, 64 GB / 700 €, 128 GB / 800 €
The 6P in Germany with USD <> € Conversion and taxes (what it should be):
32 GB / 530 €, 64 GB / 585 €, 128 GB / 690 €
So, anyone here has an idea why we have to pay over 100 € more then it should be? Nexus 6 was a more or less 1:1 conversion from USD to €.
For a 5,7" phone with those specs the US prices are ok, not the cheapest but still far from expensive.... but 700 - 800 € for it?
Well USA is without tax. Also don't you have a form of vat tax tax in USA is about 6 percent in my state less in others.

Google said they are not selling it directly in Europe so I assume they have to let other retailers profit too + of course import/export taxes.

Ehm... Germany and France have 649/699/799€ prices, while Italy and Spain 699/749/849€...
The 32GB in Italy costs more than the 128GB in USA.
Absolutely no-sense.
WTF.... Spain and Italy is even more expensive?! How?! Why?! X_x
i would wait till ebay is flooded with offers from early adopters who decide they don't like it anymore.
and if retailers are getting the phone aswell the price will soon drop to an adequate level according to the demand.
same happened with last year's nexus 6.

Please provide more information, like
does it include the keyboard dock?
what is the memory size? 16g or 32g?
it's the 16 gb version without keyboard.
In a shop? Still boxed and untouched? A steal IMO!
unfortunatly the 16gb version are the ones being exposed (so not totally untouched) and hardly available, tomorrow i'll try to see the last shop because today is closed.
In the meantime i found the 32gb discounted to 399 euro and this is unboxed and untouched....is it a good deal the 32 gb?

Not a good buy at all, your best deal is with Amazon which is cheaper and with 32g storage capacity. Here's their prices:
Amazon prices tablet only (forex 1 euro = 1.32 dollars)
Brand new 32g 340 euro
.................16g 292 euro
Used like new 32g 258 euro you save 42 euro
.....................16g 218 euro you save 82 euro
Your best buy is the 32g used like new for 258 euros if you can order it from Amazon. The Transformer I bought was a 32g for 240 euros and it works perfectly upgrading to ICS. Good luck!

It costs 54 euros more than the current prices at Amazon, but since your max limt is 400 then it should be ok. Much, much better if you can order from Amazon though because you can return easily if something is not working or broken.
thanks tedr44, i checked amazon but unfortunatly the only one who ships to Italy it will cost 399 dolars so 305 euro without shipping (transformer 32gb used) and i'm keen to buy it. Is it safe to make such purchase in case the tablet is damaged during the shipment?sorry for my boobness but it's first time purchasing from amazon.COM.
EDIT: the price of the 32gb used with shipment is 365 euro and without taxes....so not convenient.
Get the one that is in the shop near you, if anything would be wrong with it after all you can return there. It´ll save you a headache

Amazon has a very good record when it comes to customer service, if you have their phone number you may want to call and inquire about their policy on returning damaged shipments. But in my experience, Amazon will always try to correct any problem you may have because they want you to come back to them for future business. Why don't you try so you have the experience to order online for the first time with Amazon?
Amazon's customer service is amazing. They also have the most lenient return policy I have ever seen.
If there is even a slight problem with your purchase, they will take care of it.
i know that amazon is a good service, i purchased lots of things from amazom.IT, but was concerned about buying used goods. however i realized that buying from USA is not a good deal after the shipment cost and taxes (in italy you have to pay 21% of the price), in fact the 32 gb used will be over 400 euro.
so i'll try the last shop which opens in 2 hours, otherwise i'll wait for new discounts or buy it for the normal price 338 euro....
quite indecisive because i don't know if it's better to wait later or not to buy a good tablet for less than 400, i've read about google tablet but i prefer a 10 inch one.
thanks you guy for your advice
300 bucks is a good deal if you can't come up with the extra 200 for the prime.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717
unfortunatly all the transformer 16gb were sold. now i'm indecided whether buying it at 340 euro or wait..what do you think is better?
I would wait, the price of the transformers is dropping fast. I was able to pick up a 16GB model over here in the states with KB dock for $250. This was probably an especially good deal, but I can't see the price going anywhere but down.
Does Europe have a Craigslist or similar online classified listings? That is where I would look.
for italy there is ebay, where i found the transformer 16 gb for 250 euro, hoping no one raise the price higher in the next 24 hour....if the price will be under 280 maybe i'll buy it even though is used.
sorry for the double post but wanted to bump the post for attention.....i founded an acer iconia tab a 500 for 299 euro with 32gb, what do you think?

I'd really recommend purchasing through a vendor who will handle issues for you, or offers their own warranty if you are going with ASUS.
My current RMA has resulted in:
Receiving another customers tablet.
Receiving back my tablet, without the charger they asked me to send in, and with the same issue it was sent in for.
Receiving a charger without the adapter to plug it into the socket.
This is still ongoing, and when you call support, they just say, we'll escalate, and someone will call you in 2 days if you ask to speak to a manager, or have an issue.
The device was great while it worked, but I'd personally look for a vendor who is good with returns and/or offers a 3rd party warranty.
i'm sorry for the problem your facing michiganenginerd and i heard the same thing for the transformer prime (was going to buy it a month ago). I'm quite settled to buy the used iconia a500 (32gb) for 299 (with valid warranty) because is perfect fo my purpose (reading and surfing thenet).

For an actual comparison wouldn't it be better to have all prices in one currency?
Bought mine in July 2011 for $630. Dunno how much its for now.
Edit: $520 now.

in my opinion... No.. because currency exchange rates changes... thats why i want "local" currency to compare
It really depends on where you buy it. The cheapest (legitimate) offer I can find is 481,90 € with no contract and 1 year of warranty.
I got mine for around 420€ with a 2 year contract, but I sold my I9100 so I really just paid the difference, I needed a new contract anyway
So 480€ in Slovenia.
I live in Germany and I've been able to find the 32 gb version just on Amazon, but it costs 100 € more , how is it in other parts of the world? does it really cost 100 € or 100 $ more?

I only get the 32GB version where i'm at. We have it at under 450€. 500+€ is silly high here.
This store does international shipping if you're interested. No warranty though, and you'll have to "discuss" the import tax situation with the seller.... The usual, not affiliated and all that. Only a previous local in person customer and thought that the owner was a nice enough guy.
http://www.whymobile.com/productinfo.php?id=LG-G2
And back on topic, no it doesn't cost 100 to add 16GB of storage, but since the user can't add their own, why not charge 100? I'd certainly try...

It costs 725 dollars = 535 euros + 14% taxes (73 euros) + shipment+ no warranty... is way worse for me , I'd be better buying it here :crying:
Woah there.. Those are singapore dollars. Not USD. 450 euros should be about right.
As for the 14% you should try to contact the seller. He might be able to help.

my personal phone is the WW 64gb/4gb model from ASUS directly as a review phone. GF's is from Amazon (same model, WW) for $299.99 w/free prime shipping.
I bought the 64gb/4gb here in Taiwan for 290euro, tw version. In italy, where i come from, it is not released yet, while the 32gb/4gb version costs 349euro... tw vs. ww version differs only for 4g bands (it will supports only 1 band in Italy) but i have no interest to pay for 4g., so it's ok for me.

Greetings from Canada everyone.
I bought my USA or WW version 551ML with 2gb and 16gb of ram from B&H.
Shipped with Duties pre-calculated and arrived in 3 days. Which is pretty awesome.
I came from a nexus 5. I can honestly say if the phone didn't have horrid battery drain, it would be perfect. I am hoping they fix the drain.
What is B&H? I thought my only option in Canada was Newegg in Ontario. I am located in Vancouver BC.

B&H is america photography store much like Black's in Canada. I got fed up with the massive up pricing at NCIX, never like those guys as they keep on screwing with me and the delays from Newegg.
They recently, 2 years or so, started shipping to Canada with Purolator and took care of all the duties provided you let them.
I really never had a bad order through them. I got an T-Mobile LG g3 for 210 USD from them before too.

Couldn't be happier with the phone for that price.
