How to order the Google Nexus One?

Thanks for the publish. I have generally noticed that a majority of people are wanting to lose weight simply because they wish to appear slim and also attractive. On the other hand, they do not often realize that there are other benefits to losing weight as well. Doctors say that over weight people have problems with a variety of diseases that can be directly attributed to their particular excess weight. Thankfully that people who definitely are overweight and suffering from numerous diseases can reduce the severity of their illnesses by way of losing weight. It is easy to see a constant but noticeable improvement in health when even a negligible amount of fat loss is obtained.

The subsequent time I learn a weblog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as much as this one. I mean, I do know it was my option to learn, but I truly thought youd have one thing attention-grabbing to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about one thing that you possibly can repair in the event you werent too busy searching for attention.

finally it has opened…

now, it will finally close…

HTC desire is now available here in Singapore! im too tempted to get it! argh!

get the HTC desire instead. :D

I find the nexus one to be a little overpriced. There are websites that say I can get a free nexus one (like http://nexusone.e7h.net ). Does anybody know if these are legit?

I mean it is still cheaper than buying it here in the Philippines for PHP33k.

I’m currently in the US on Military schooling and I bought the phone online just in time for my wife’s Bday

here is what you usually see on the online transaction with google.

as a piece of advice choose to buy it on a state that charges no tax. because i did not know that north carolina

charges 42 dollar for state tax.

however the total cost is around 26K . it was ok

my wife has now the superphone N1. she’s very eager to get her phone

ps sorry for the xxxxx just for security

Hmmm.. bat kaya may tax ako na $51.58 pag order ko.. MyUSMailbox din naman gamit ko at Los Angeles CA din address. waaah!

any idea sir yuga bat po may tax? :(

my question is the same as braattzzz’

Jesus Christ! More HTC smartphone units…

first bravo, supersonic, legend and now

HTC scorpion (1.5ghz processor)?

http://news.softpedia.com/news/Rumor-Mill-HTC-Scorpion-to-Include-1-5GHz-CPU-Android-134533.shtml

even i’m here in Philippines. can i use the nexus one?

hi yuga, did your nexus pass our customs and if it did, did you pay any taxes? thanks

How does this Johnny Air work? Is it a forwarder?

Isn’t it because of excessive usage of wifi/3g? Afaik, N1’s battery is better than that of iphone 3gs’.

Yeah, but the other features of the bravo such as 720p video recording I think is too much for a smartphone (that is if you are buying the device for connectivity reasons – email, sms, etc).

for now, i think it is too much and n1 is enough for the current needs. sadly, i just confirmed from a friend that’s working in htc philippines that they won’t service n1 here.

@ WTF

I would like to cooment about Fedex that you said, they dont charge taxes.

I left my 02 phone charger in Singapore to my relatives there and since it an original charger I wanted to have it back so I asked my relatives in Singapre to have it ship to me and they uaed FedEx. It came after 2 days at my doorstep and I was surprised they asked me 3 thousand pesos for taxes. WTF, sending a charger for 3 K? I said NO.I wont get it, enjoy it by yourselves. So FedEx do charge the recipient whatever value it is even if the sender already paid it.

Finally got my Google Nexus One after 10 days of waiting. Thanks for the work-around Yuga, and to Johnny Air for handling the shipment.

My Globe postpaid sim is working fine, although I’m beginning to suspect that 3G is not working. But I’m not sure yet.

Check out some unboxing photos and initial impressions -> http://aczafra.com/2010/01/18/google-nexus-one-arrives-in-the-philippines-unboxing-photos/

were you able to get your unit na? my friends are going to the US and if shipping is indeed overnight only (okay say + 72 hours if there’s engraving), i can order it the day they will arrive and have it delivered to their hotel. luckily, the proxy we have in the office is based in hongkong so we can proceed with the transaction as if we’re located in HK.

To Marc Tan: Post something about N1 when it arrives. I haven’t read anything yet about N1 working in the philippines. THANKS!

How muck are you selling your Nexus one? Please provide me a feedback on this link: http://www.tipidpc.com/viewitem.php?iid=4902228

Had the same experience with Gripshift. I think it has something to do with the fact the Google is shipping it to New York coming from Cali.

Yuga did not incur the $46 because MyUSMailbox is located in Cali as well.

Anyway, hope to get my N1 today. Still waiting for notification from Johnny Air.

HI, it seems like a lot of readers are don’t know how the transaction works when buying or shipping an item from US. Can you make a post about the diff. methods the readers can do with their PROS and CONS?

@JM, nope I’m looking at the order I made and the billing address (manila address) is different from the shipping address (NY address of Johnny Air Cargo).

I hope those who ordered from Manila can also post their experiences.

I accepted delivery of the N1 on the 6th. This is the best (hands down) Android handset I’ve ever tried, and I’ve been an Android user since the G1. That fruity handset has nothing on this bad boy. I will be in Manila starting the last week of January. Anyone interested in seeing the phone or maybe even buying it, let me know. I might be able to buy 4 more handsets and take them with me during my trip.

@Gripshift I’d be happy to help you out placing and shipping your order.

I got excited so I also ordered using Johnny Air. But my mistake was following the advice of their local office and placing a NY address. There goes my $46. Anyway, can’t wait for the phone :)

The Nexus one is keeping us very busy!

Customers all around the world are shipping their Nexus through US Unlocked.

Hey guys! I think you need to hold your horses unless you want to be Google’s Guinea pig. I still prefer buying the N1 from a cp store wherein I could enjoy a hassle free warranty. In a couple of months you will surely hear comments about the phone and in another couple of months they would probably release a new and better version. Expect a couple of firm ware updates. The worse that will happen (I hope “will not” happen) is a recall due to a hardware failure (Remember what happened to the first release of Nikon D5000).

Patience is a virtue. Just a piece of advice. hehehehe. :D

It is nice work around. :)

@abe – No, I’m on AT&T kasi. If I was on T-Mobile or Verizon then maybe I would’ve gotten the Nexus One instead of the iPhone 3GS. :)

@Larry: thanks. maybe somebody will create an app/hack to do that a-la original iphone.

@abe thanks.. Again, no money to spend haha

@ WTF
Mr. WTF, whatever your name is, it is free when you ship, it is as according to the site, but when it arrives here, I guarantee you you’re going to pay tax that is more than 3-4k. Mr. WTF, the duties and tariff rate is pegged at 32% not 3-4k, unless of course you’re talking about bribing the official. Interestingly, you talk about I not being have bought from ebay, because I have friends who have and were indeed taxed, thereby I wouldn’t buy from ebay.

@arnold
hm…i always course through my shipments to johnny Air NJ as advised by them. NJ has no taxes while NY has.

Okay thanks for the customs handling fee head’s up. I’ll email johnny air just to be sure and get back how much the estimated costing would be.

@wtf

you = troll

how about the warranty of this phone? In case of failure or defect , you need to send it back to google ?

Hi Yuga,

OK tong post mo. Although I have no plans of buying a Nexus but your sharing about the ProxZ and the MyUSMailbox is a great add-on to my petite coconut shell. By the way, ask ko lang po. Valid pa po ba yung promo code mo sa MyUSMailbox? Thanks.

oh btw, if you’ll check ebay – Nexus One is now currently being sold @ 600-650 USD if you’ll convert it to the current exchange of $1-45 PHP, you’ll get 27-29k pesos.

And lo! it’ll be delivered to your doorstep hassle-free unlike the ones you did here.

I check more of your post and I kind of laugh with the unboxing vids you did on the sony slim notebook..

Man, so all the while you though unboxing means literally ‘unboxing?” You didn’t even talk there.

Shy boy?

Hopefully, Sony wasn’t disappointed with that uber-lame presentation.

ay sayang. Just got a nokia e72.

A nexus would have been cool!

O ayan, folks who are planning to use Johnny Air, make sure you course it through their LA contact. Sayang din yung $46!

Wow, galing…Will try this work around…Thnaks

It’s a good thing MyUSBox is in LA. My Johnny Air contact’s address is in New York. I was charged 46.95 for NY tax!

Hopefully everything goes well and I get to receive the Nexus One in a couple of days…:-)

I’ll try to contact Johnny Air regarding their policies on this one. Sayang naman Sir Yuga, lumampas pa ng $30 dollars sana no customs charge na.

Isa kang henyo Yuga! Will try this work around!
Just like Erik said, will use Johnny Air.

@yuga: there is no customs charge.
I have already shipped some items before, like bluetooth headsets, iPod Touch, etc. They (Johnny Air) charge customs fee for Laptops / netbook only.

@yuga
Nice investment! :D

errr…order it for you.. sorry.

I think the activate phone link is for those who purchased the phone with T-mobile subscription (@ a discounted price).

@ Erin – unluckily, the phone does not support tethering.

How about activating the phone? Do you need to be a “supported country” for you to be able to activate it. I tried clicking on the link, obviously it says no Phone found, but at least it doesn’t give me a “Your country is not supported at the moment” message.

I’m quite curious on what goes on when you activate you phone. Do you do it via usb cable then go to the website?

Sorry, if you choose Philippines on the credit card choice, does it work?

There is an activate phone link in the website. Just wondering what this for? If Philippines is not a supported country, will you be able to use the phone here in Manila even if you use your US proxy to activate the phone?

I’ll wait for the iPhone that’s coming out on Jan 26.

Waiting for your review of the Nexus one :D
