Just thought i'd get this thread started. No sites found so far.
It's on websites, it just comes back as not existing. So far seen it on the following sites:
Comet: http://www.comet.co.uk/p/Tablets/buy-ASUS-Eee-PAD-TRANSFORMER-BUNDLE-Tablet/717711 which says discontinued but isn't available through normal product selection I found it via google. The product code 717711 is however the code on their systems.
PC World: It's available to select but then says it's no longer available
Amazon: Released June 1st
Laskys: Showing as Temporarily out of stock
Will follow this and update if either Comet or PC World receive any next week as I get 10% off both through my work so only really checking them. I have a mate who's a sales manager at the local PC World store and is going to phone head office and find out what's happening so will let you know when I hear.
Ebuyer.com also have the bundle on their website, with the same ETA as amazon.co.uk: 1st of June
It shows up on amazon.fr with a "coming soon" message.
A lot of Swiss websites have it listed (digitec.ch claims a late June date ETA for the dock, while others have a late May date, around 27-31).
Just a suggestion: it would be nice to modify the first post in this thread to include links to all websites listing it along with the ETA currently announced on each of them.
Anybody knows a good place to get a seperate keyboard? I read on the Asus UK FB that the retailers only ordered bundles, but are there still some (e-)shops that have them? I checked Amazon, Carphone Warehouse, Comet, Ebuyer, Laskys and PC World but they all sell bundles or tablets...

I hate to contradict you but nobody is selling the bundle in Europe as of now. They have it listed on their site but it's either not available for order or you can just pre-order (with an estimated availability date of 1st of June). The dock itself I've only seen in Switzerland, at digitec.ch, for 129 Swiss francs (~100 EUR, ~90 GBP).

That's what I meant, I know they don't ship the bundles out yet.
Thanks for the tip, Digitech seems to have a reasonable price. Downside is availability expected late June. Hopefully in those two months I've obtained one already!
laskys.com have both the tablet only and the bundle in stock, for those of you living in UK. They don't do international shipping unfortunately
Hi,
Scan are also showing pre-orders on these, with no date known: -
www DOT scan DOT co.uk/search.aspx?q=TF101
first post so no links for me.
Feels like i've been here for ages tho, read the entire bricked transformer thread to try and put me off. Still searching tho.
Comet are now showing delivery in 10 days of the bundle?
Comet are selling the bundle again for delivery on the 16th of May.
Asus Finland confirmed on a email that transformer Scandinavian keyboard should be coming out May.
Verkkokauppa.com is saying that they will have 16GB transformer+scandi keyboard package in 3-5 weeks.
I have just ordered with Comet for delivery on the 16th of May and cancelled my Amazon preorder as they still cannot say when they will be able to supply my order. I asked them where I was in the preorder queue to get an idea of timescale and they said they couldn't even access that information - useless.
At least if I have an issue with the unit supplied from Comet I can take it back to my local store as opposed to having to send it away to Amazon and wait for weeks.
Good find on Comet, I'll go in the local store tomorrow and see if they've got an update on stock coming in to the store as my discounted vouchers can't be used online.
annoying that you cant cancell your order on comet, ive already bought the non keyboard version, and now the have the keyboard version avaliable.
Laskys - in stock from 10th delivery 16th May?
Spoke to Laskys.com (UK) - expecting tablet/dock bundle on the 10th May and posted (free at the mo) for 16th same as Comet IIRC - if you go through Topcashback you get £15 cash back !!
Went into Comet today and got my first hands on with the tablet only and has confirmed I definitely want one I managed to connect it to my SGSII WiFi and gave the guy the product code for the bundle so he checked on the system which said stock is coming into the distribution center on 10th so will be in store by 16th or 17th which is why delivery from the site is that date too.
Anyone who ordered dock from Asus got it yet or been informed when they will receive it
sent from my E Pad Transformer........without a leedroid rom :-(

Thanks testicle! i went ahead and ordered. through topcashback. Delivery date estimate is currently for the 15th of May
Think I will cancel my order tomorrow from Comet and but the keyboard version from them.
Not to be nitpicking but the UK is in the EU just so you know OP.
Hi there. I am sorry if this has been posted before, but I couldn't really find such a thread.
Coming back to the topic. I am thinking of getting Nexus 4 from US through my cousin who lives there. As I browsed the SHOP NOW page at Google play store, it showed the price $ 349.00 for 16 gb version. What I want to know is that:
- what will be the final price of the device including the TAXES & SHIPPING to Stanton, California?
- and as Google has mentioned a few countries where it will officially launch the device and people can order it online. Does it mean the actual product will ship from the US to (lets say) Australia? Which means the shipping will dramatically increase? Will it?
Would appreciate if anyone could shed some light on it.
Thanks in advance!
Can anyone please reply
I can't answer you about US taxes, but when I bought my Nexus 7 direct from Google play (I'm in UK) they were dispatched within the UK. Well from Northern Ireland, but it's still technically a part of the UK. The delivery charge was £10, which is typical here in the UK. I'm sure they are dispatched locally if they are purchased within the officially released countries, or it wouldn't really make logistical sense for every individual order to be dispatched from the US worldwide.
So, if Australia was an official country, it would be dispatched from there, or somewhere close enough.

Appreciated. Thank you very much for your response.
As Makaijin has said before, it's not shipped from the US all over the globe but rather the local distribution centres. For the U.K. it's from the U.K. but here in Australia, stuff gets shipped from Singapore (it was for the Nexus 7 at least). Thank God Australia's an official launch country .
Ahan, Any idea about the TAXES one has to pay? As in, how much (tax) would one pay for this phone in the US?
and what generally are shipping charges in the US?
Going off the Nexus 7 @ $250 I paid $283 out the door. I believe California has 7-8% sales tax so that should be around $28 in tax plus I recall 2 day shipping on the Nexus 7 was $12. I'd say your out the door would be right at or just over $400.
Does anyone know any release dates for the G2 in Germany? Last news I saw was some pre-order price drop down but that was on August 22th, and for some reason the 32GB version didn't get the drop (at least the pre-order version at my store).
It's been a month in pre-order state already and it's killing me so much I'm almost willing to get a Z1 instead (which has been available since 2 weeks ago).
Thanks
I live in Switzerland and I'm also waiting for it. I only know the release in France which will be between the next two weeks, so we may expect it as well (hopefully?)
It should be out since 30th september. But actually... it isn't. If the Nexus 5 is available earlier I'll go for it.
You can get it from amazon.de for €499, in stock now.

Yeah, but only the 16GB version. I'm not sure if that's enough for me so I'm waiting for the 32GB version.
In switzerland we can get it mid-october, in germany it could be around the same time. (32GB)
If you live in Germany, you could buy the 16GBv at amazon from billiger de, they told me it is available from stock.

Weird, the 16GB still shows in pre-order everywhere here. And again, not sure if 16GB is enough for me, so I guess I'll wait it out a bit and see if the 32GB version gets its price lowered as well (16GB went from 600 -> 500, 32GB still at 630).
I live in Portugal, but usually order tech stuff from Germany since it's cheaper and some shops ship internationally. Haven't been able to find better international shops elsewhere (Swiss ones I found don't ship here for example).
At any rate, thanks for the ETA.
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.

Hong Kong really cheap

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.

Never piss off wife. You always have to pay that too with interest.
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.

Dear All,
There seems to be no news on the availability of the 6P for Hong Kong. Anyone have any news on the availability for HK.
Thanks.

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.
