Sorry guys, noob here.

Well not really, I bought the Nexus 5 3 years ago via Tenzo and it was a hellish process, so I think now will be easier? lol. Read through the thread and understand that only Aus set will work with 4G+ in SG, so has anyone tried buying from the google store straight there using VPN? I have a fake google account but it's a US account, can I just a use Australian VPN and International Debit Card to buy? Got anyone here with a general guide? And what freight forwarding service to use? Really want to avoid carousell cos of the huge markup (***** 1.7k for a phone?).

Or should I wait for Mobyshop? Do they have a history of selling Nexus at a higher price? If their price won't be too shocking I'll wait for them, since they have stock in 2 months time.

Oh hey you're right, cheaper even after VAT. But their website says not available? Has anyone got it from them yet? Will it be more expensive if you add shipping and GST etc.. Seems like people are only buying from Australia and US here and on carousell... Wonder why is that

"Thanks for your email, I am afraid we do not have any dates on whether we will be able to obtain the Pixel in the UK as it is exclusive to the networks

If this changes we will of course update our website

Sales Team"

Looks like even Clove UK isn't sure if they will ever have any Pixels in stock :( Might have to VPN from Japan

Just give another 3 months for the craze and supply/demand side to settle down. I am sure it will be readily available.

Got my unit from Aussie.

Just walked into the first jb hi-fi I came across and bought it, along with the official clear case from Google.

Saw many other outlets carrying it since. There doesn't seem to be a shortage of stock here.
