Google Nexus S spotted, priced in Greenhills

One of our regular readers sent in a tip as he spotted this brand new Google Nexus S being sold in a stall in GreenHills. Apparently, this handset is still very rare as the shop is the only one carrying the import at the moment.

The grey market price — Php35,000USD 596INR 50,561EUR 568CNY 4,344 (not that very far from the Samsung Galaxy S when it first came out). Our course, if you’re in the US you can get this for only $529PHP 31,045INR 44,833EUR 504CNY 3,850 (or $572PHP 33,568INR 48,477EUR 545CNY 4,163 including sales tax). The price should settle at around Php28k in a few more months once newer handsets arrive in the country.

Just in case anyone’s interested, they’re selling this in HK for around 30-31k. The US is still the best place to get though of course, price-wise. Just to confirm, any copy of this phone is not locked to any network right?
