for my zip code, it came out to be $200. Hope you all get the same promotion!
UPDATE
i ordered mine friday night at 6 PM, and it was at my door saturday at 9 AM
i charged it, and messed around with it a bit, but my service hasn't started yet. will post again when i can give it a full test drive!
walmart.com got this deal too.
Is this legit, if so I am taking mine back today and just ordering from here.
Has anyone received it from this store yet?
wirefly.com has the same deal. I am getting mine today.
and what tmob plans do you have to buy? phone & data prices? 2 year contract?
So, we can´t just buy the phone without any contract like in Europe?
That really sucks...

We can't, but we have one massive advantage over Europe. Actual plan costs. We have one of lowest price-per-minute ratios in the world. Japan is another that has similar costs to the US. So, while phones here are more expensive, voice and data plans are cheaper.
$200 a piece from Wirefly, got one for me and one for my wifey Due to arrive on Monday and I can't wait for that big beautiful screen! Looking forward to using NRG's rom on the TP2 as his were the only I like for my Fuze.
Looks like it is now up to $229 with a 2-year extension

Really? You want to go with that? Canada, the US, and Spain are THE most expensive countries for cell phone usage.

According to that post the US equivalent of an $11 dollar plan in the Netherlands will run around $53 in the US (don't know which carrier but yeah).
Yes, you CAN buy a TMo TP2 without a contract (though still locked), for somewhere between $500 and $550. Alternatively, the unlocked US Edge-only Euro version ran about $720 (minus VAT) when it first debuted.

I saw that headline before, but what I'm curious about is whether they compared apples and oranges--for example, did they compare subsidies? Someday I'll actually read the source material and see. Not today though.
They don't take into account subsidies.
My point was that gehzumteufel said that the US had among the lowest plan costs. Which according to that is just not true.
Subsidies do soften the blow, but only if you're buying a new cell. If you're the type to keep the same cell for years (maybe you're an environmentalist, maybe you just like the model) the plan prices just seem expensive as they're the same price whether you get a new cell or not.
Personally as I'm on pay as you go/prepaid, I always pay full price, so the plan prices are important.
And yeah, the US has the TP2 for less than the European price. I am actually considering getting the US version, but then I'd have to find a way to unlock it...

Thanks,
But I am not interested in buy any plan, I already have mine with Telcel and it´s really good, I just need the device @ a reasonable price, nothing else
Bought for $542+ $50 tax from T-Mobile....still worth it.....
This is the full buy out price.....dont think you have to be a customer to buy it from them.....but the phone will be locked though.....you will hav to find other means to unlock it....

If you bought it from the US where would you plan on unlocking it? I am thinking of getting it from Tmo as well to use on Movistar, but I don't have any idea where I'd unlock it.

I asked a T-Mobile sales rep about this. They said you have to pay $700 for the HTC Touch Pro2 if you want the no-commitment pricing.
comes to $711.34 after international Visa charge and all that. Please make me feel like my purchase is justified I'm happy yet sad. My brain is confused!

I'm okay with dropping that much on a phone. If I had the cash I would do it now.

Does anyone know when Handtec is supposed to ship their items? I bought it around 1am Pacific on wednesday morning and they still have not shipped it yet. They said I was supposed to get a confirmation when it gets shipped but it shouldnt possibly be this long

The information your getting sounds normal. I ordered mine Tuesday and, the estimated shipping from FedEx said should receive it tomorrow. If you read the last few pages of Hantec shipment thread, you will see the same pattern.
If they have stock it seems to be taking only a day and a half from the time you order it.

1am Pacific on wednesday was about 5pm on Tuesday here. According to their blog post they should have shipped it yesterday. Having said that it must have been crazy busy there! I imagine it'll go out today if it hasn't already (fyi its 4am Thursday in the UK now)
But there's no way for me to track it. They gave me a confirmation number and that's it. No info on if it's been shipped yet.

If you haven't gotten a tracking number yet, I'm sure it hasnt shipped yet. Maybe you should email handtec and ask them if/when it will ship. I ordered mine last Friday, and it just shipped yesterday because they didn't have stock in, so maybe that's what happened?

I just ordered my nexus from handtec... hopefully they still have stock. 696.31 is a large price to pay to not have to deal with Verizon's crap.
If you feel bad about paying $700 for a phone you probably should have waited. I didn't drop the money until I was 100% sure I wanted the phone

(assuming you are in the usa and were considering waiting for the phone on verizon)
1. you paid $5 more than the unlocked gsm version of the phone will likely retail for in san francisco california ($650 * 1.085 = $705)
2. you are free to go to t-mobile, at&t, or any number of other gsm mvnos.
3. on t-mobile you can get a cheaper month-to-month plan than contract plan.
4. the verizon version is thicker and contains bloatware, not to mention is locked down to verizon. the monthly bill will be at least $80/mo for a new line and with a 4GB cap currently. you will probably pay $300 + tax at verizon, and locked into a $350 early termination fee. therefore you will pay the same amount as you just paid if for some reason you wanted to leave verizon.
5. more people on the planet will have the same version of the phone as you do. therefore you will reap the benefits of international android hackers more quickly.
6. gsm/hspa+ uses less battery than cdma/lte
7. you get it first
i could go on, but i hope that's enough to make you feel better
With the (probably) huge developer base, ice cream sandwich, easy root, no bloatware (I hate forced themes by manufacturers -.-), fastest updates by google + the modding community, how could it be a bad purchase?
$800 here
I just received mine from Handtec today. One thing you have to keep in mind is that FEDEX charges you the taxes and custom fees once it gets into your country. Mine was $700 but when it got to the local depot they called and said the extra charges come to just under $100. I live in Canada though and we have a fairly high sales tax as well as a provincial tax (%12 in total).
Nice thing was I ordered Tuesday morning and it got here 48 hours later.
Awesome phone!

I'm just curious as to where you might have bought it from. Expansys? Handtec? Clove? I've heard stories where people have to pay a big amount of money after it gets into the country, like customs fees and things like that. Expansys is $749 but it almost seems like the best bet since they ship from the US. Any suggestions US buyers?
Negri: https://negrielectronics.com/samsung-i9250-google-galaxy-nexus-black-unlocked.html
plus theres a $35 off coupon you can find online. they have free ground, but all their other shipping are more expensive than expansys.
I bought mine from Expansys. There was some ups and downs in the begining, but in the end they were great! Their US GM (Cory L) is active in the Expansys thread now, helping people with problems, and letting us know what is going on with shipments, ect. Can't ask for much more. There was a $20 coupon floating around, not sure if it's still active.
I picked them cause they have a US branch here, in case I ever have to deal with the warranty.
Earlier today someone found out that Newegg has them in stock - or so it says. Have no clue if they are imported or not (UK ones have 2 year warranties). It lists the manufacturer site as www.samsung.com and not the UK location so
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16875176322
Just pulled the trigger on it from Handtec. $704 CAD shipped. Seems to be the cheapest option out of the bunch.
Handtec. It was slightly cheaper when I bought mine though, I still think it's the cheapest option.

No hidden fees other than certain credit card companies charge a foreign transaction fee, in the 2%-3% range people have reported.

heh.. i was on T-Mob for the longest time but after seeing the LTE speeds in action & jumped on while they still had unlimited data it's the best mobile broadband ever. i can download a 1GB file in about 5 minutes.
on the downside though, i'm paying roughly $20 more then i was on T-Mob and have less minutes. if AT&T or T-Mob were anywhere near as fast as Verizon(in my area they are very slow compared to Verizon) & had unlimited data also i'd consider switching.

I would go with Expansys also for the same reasons as the others. already in the US & easier to deal with warrenty wise.
I'd go with negrielectronics.com tbh. While they may be more than anyone else, sadly enough they were the only one's from London to the US to never BS me about stock, and they handled my order in a professional manner. The same cannot be said for others that have been mentioned in this very thread.
The Android figurine they send out is a nice touch too.
As I wrote in the other thread, I too went with Negri last night. An hour and a half after placing the order I got an e-mail saying it shipped along with the tracking number. Pretty damn nice if you ask me.
Hey guys, I really want to be able to get the international version of the One X (quad core) but I don't know where to get it or how much it will cost :/ or can I just not preorder it? That I'm okay with haha
You can order from expansys, it has worldwide delivery :
http://www.expansys.com/delivery/
or http://clove.co.uk
Others may find you better deals
Wow! From clove I could get it for under 700$?!?!
Which is more reliable on-time delivery ?
Could have medialink to be perfect.
It's a matter of tax, don't know how they work.
I had some when I tried to order on it but am in Europe so...
Edit :
about delivery time expansys claims 3-4 days, probably the same for clove
Hmm.. How would I be able to find the tax amount you think? During order process?
Yeah i did like I was going to buy one, didn't need registration to see that if I remember well. When you choose delivery location it should tell you the price of tax and shipping
When I go to place the order it seems like 675$

I am also from canada and i ordered from www.handtec.co.uk , anywhere you pre order outside of canada you will have to pay taxes and duty fee's to the delivery guy when it gets to your door, for the one x it will probably be around 80-100$ on top of what your gonna pay from the retailer. From past experience make sure they don't ship via UPS as they are horrible and charge handling fee's and stuff.

Fedex also charges handling fees. I have ordered from handtec before, and fedex delivers it around 2 days. Really quick service.
Handec declares the amount you paid for the device. So if for example you paid $700 for the device, you will pay the fedex guy upon delivery 12% tax (for BC) plus their handling fee.

Shoot 12% is a lot on 700$... :/ why can't they just sell the One X in canada?!?!?! or in the states even.... do you think it'd be cheaper if i got some sort of contact in UK to send one to me??
Fedex aways charge fees.
I dont get that handling fees. Its exclusive in Canada ?
Its a country import rule ?
If I ship one to USA, I will pay either ?

PS.
I also came from my good old Nexus 6 to OP5T
I still think Nexus 6 the best Google phone ever made. Had zero issues with it for 3 years.
I'm not a student so I cant buy it with the discount ( or there's another way? ) anyone o had bought it without the discount can share how much has paid?
Thanks in advance
I bought mine on the release day and received it on Black Friday (which is no special day in Canada). Paid about $740, used a referral code from a friend.
Very happy with it. It works perfectly on Public Mobile (which doesn't sell phones and expects you to have one unlocked, though Telus-locked phones will work).
IIRC there was only one shipping choice, DHL (yuk) and the phone shipped from California HST-paid so it didn't stop at customs.
