Hi, I would like to know if anyone knows the reasons why Pixels are not available in France, except that they are available in Germany, UK, Italy, Spain and globally, all countries around France?
It was the same for the first version, and I'm afraid it will be the same for the third.
Same problem here. Bought my pixel 2 xl in germany and went back home to belgium. Work perfectly fine here but it's because the language is not fully supported by the google assistant. That's why they don't sell them all over the world because only a few languages are supported by the google assistant.
I have the Pixel XL here in France and I have no issues with Assistant !

Hello,
In my country (Serbia) this phone will show up for maybe 2-3 months or later. I can't order online because importing is too complicated (radio frequency etc..blah blah..) so I would like to buy this phone somewhere in Hungary or Austria. I will go on trip for few days from 3 july. Can anyone tell me is there any store in Austria (can't read germany) like vodaphone shop or something to buy this phone. I will visit Austria and Hungary. If there any place please let me know.
I made contact to this website
http://www.zippzarmobile.hu/
and they told me for 20 days they will have it but I need before that because I will be on trip before that.
Why is importing difficult? Amazon.de has it already in stock, sells it for 484,97€ (the 8gb version) and it uses the same frequencies as everywhere else in Europe. They charge 6€ for shipping to non-EU european countries, which includes Serbia. If you have difficulties navigating the amazon.de page, use www .amazon.co.uk as a guide, they look the same.
To look for stores in Vienna, see: geizhals.at/a535151. html. currently, nobody has it in stock yet. I bought it last week at an A1 outlet, but they only have branded versions.
In Hungary, i have also seen some ads, like www .220volt.hu/Samsung+GT-i9000+Galaxy+S+8GB , but it is expensive, almost 100€ more than in Germany or Austria. This was the same with the HTC HD2 back in 2009. It was available in Budapest some weeks before in Vienna, I even went by the store, but it was way too expensive to not wait for one or two weeks longer.
So I would recommend to use amazon.de. They have very good customer service if the device should turn out to be faulty and ship very fast. If mail order is really not possible, check out the geizhals.at/ a535151.html page for Austrian shops: if any of them turns green, it means, that they have it in stock.
importing is very difficult because they are asking me for some document from radio regulatory agency + for new products you need to make some test in some special facility + will cost me like 400euros....for 2 phones.
Anyway I ordering online a lot ...but when you order something with radio frequency that is ....really hard.
I will consider this Hungary. Thank you!!!
I bought it with 381GBP at HandTec UK
I would say it depends on when you will be in Austria. At the moment the phone is just launching, so most stores handle their pre-orders first. Here in Germany more and more shops claim it "in stock" so things seem to relax. But for now I can't find a shop in Austria. Are you in Austria before or after July, 3rd?
Hi Folks, I've scoured the forums but couldn't find anything on this already...
I got a phone sent to Australia from Handtec in the UK. I expected it to be UK regionalised, but thought that I could apply a WWE rom and change it. So much for that idea - it came with 1.32.405.6 and I applied the WWE of the same version, but still get "English (United Kingdom)" and some Euro languages only. Also the spoken-directions is enabled for the UK and it suggests I pay for the Australian one...
Is there a way I can set this as an Aus phone?
Much Thanks
Root and flash CM 6.1, that should give you a generic ROM . the navigation issue is that with Google NAV?
The x.x.405.x ROMs are stock european firmwares. The only Australian firmware is the one you get from Vodafone, and is branded. This is because Voda has carrier exclusivity here.
I got mine from Clove, and it came with the WWE ROM. I also got a free one month worldwide premium navigation from the Locations app. I downloaded the Australia map and I can get spoken driving directions. After one month though, I'll have to buy the directions license if I want to keep on using premium navigation. This is similar to everyone who bought their phones SIM-free. Google Navigation also now works in Australia thanks to their last update. I tried and works fine one mine, and is free.
You could try MoreLocale 2 from the market if you really want English (AUS) as the locale.
I installed the morelocale2 app which gave me more choice including English (Australia). I have a Vodafone branded DHD which came with with English (German) only and French/German.
I still havent removed the other Voda crap like Voda 360 music store or whatever that is.
PS: It was really annoying to see German language videos by default, on Youtube !!
I have installed MoreLocale 2 and it's the next best thing to having it like that natively, thank you! Content and searches are much more relevant now
I'll see how I go with Google's nav app, though I hear it could be worth buying Navigon or CoPilot... anyway, that's for another day.
Cheers
Herb
just found this on one site, some updates that are coming to few phones..

When you first powered it up did you select English (United Kingdom) and set all your settings to UK etc?
If so then I think when it returns to the UK the market will become UK.
As for the movies and books, not a clue!

Yes, when it booted up i select English (United Kingdom) the interface is in english and all, its just that the things that i got free are in french and the google play store is also in french.
Call Google Play support. They'll help you. If your Nexus 7 was rooted I could give you other instructions to get it working correctly.
Another thing you could try to do is set up a vpn so that your nexus 7 thinks you are back in the uk now. Search for free vpn and set up nexus 7 vpn.

Do you know where i can find a google play support number? i am trying to use this Click 2 Call service by google, but it is not letting me select a product.
The US number is all I have 1-855-836-3987. If you found the vpn software and hookup to a us router you could call this number. Remember though, this number is for the nexus and not the play store but I am pretty sure that they will answer your questions.

In my opinion yes.
When I use a VPN and connect to London, my Playstoreoffers British stuff and offers me the prices in British Pound.
Connect to USA and prices are in USD and I can buy American stuff.
Only when I connect to Germany, the Playstore is in French but Euro prices
I purchased an N7 16g for my dad who is French and lives in France, but I live in the US and bought it at Walmart.
At first glance I see an option to select UK English and Spanish but not French.
Is there a way to make this unit work as a French one? Is he going to have problems within the Google store? I was trying to do a good thing, not get him a poisoned gift.
EDIT: looks like the limited choice is only in the quick setup wizard. Later you can choose more options in settings.
Not sure if there will be a problem telling it to use the French Play Store
These tablets have no sort of region locking or similar limitations whatsoever. You will not have any problems using it in France with French language.
