The Nexus 5 Thread

[saltyman]

AU/ EU prices are sibeh unfriendly. I think APAC region only left japan. Taiwan / HK got open?

anyone can check south korea playstore?? i can't access it

any vpn without the need to download for recommendation?

 

[Solkarnar]

Nope. HK and Taiwan I think also don't have...
And since when Nexus 4 got warranty in SG? on top got someone say have... I don't remember LG honoring it.

Actually HK selling tmr, 3898 HKD about 649SGD. TW to sell in November rumor price is 14-15k NT about 640SGD. All chop carrots price.

Buy from US store is easy, but the US one no LTE. Only can buy from "Other" countries. Nearest official launch country is India, followed by japan and korea.

For supported LTE, looks like Australia is the best place to buy then, since it's about SGD500.

SG is Band 3 and 7. So yes. But if you order from Playstore USA, you will get the North America Version. We gotta order from Australia, Japan, Korea or UK Playstore.

Sorry, don't get you. I was referring to LTE

I mean Band 3 is 1800MHz, isnt it the same as GSM 1800MHz?

Japan Play Store still showing Nexus 4 only? Where do you guys get the pricing? Is it from the statement released "Google and LG's Nexus 5 is available now through the Google Play store in the United States, Canada, UK, Australia, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Japan, and Korea, and will cost $349 for the 16GB model and $399 for the 32GB version"??

No idea. Sorry. I played safe and ordered from AU. It's only a little more expensive.

I did the maths as follows

16GB Version
AU$399 + 19.95 (local shipping) = SGD$493.55
US$349 + 13.99 (estimated ground shipping based on my Nexus 4 purchase) = SGD$450.18

So I'm paying an additional SGD43 dollars for confirmed LTE. It might be more prudent to go this route if you have friends in Australia to send it to you.
