I decided to buy a Nexus 5 (16GB version), in my country (Eastern Europe) it is about $625 (including standard 2 year warranty).

And one of my friends told me that he'll be visiting Japan, so I want to make him buy for me. If he can find one i estimated the price to be around $475 including the registration fee and taxes to my country, but I learned that the warranty would not be valid in my country. And my friend does not know too much about these devices.

So would it be worth the risk, or should i just buy from my country?

Thanks.

Hi mate,

First thing, Nexus 5 is a very good and rocking Android smartphone
Buy it from your country so that you won't be void of the warranty :)

Are you in a non-Google play country?

UK Nexus 5 costs €363 (£299)

MediaMarkt in the Netherlands had a special 21% off sale, the 16GB goes for 330 euro`s till Sunday.
Look on Amazon.de (Germany), the 16GB model goes for 390 euro`s. They ship within the EU.

Hmm, but adding the taxes and registration fee to my country, it almost becomes around the same price anyway.

Much of Eastern Europe is in the European Union.

It's not in EU. So what you guys say.

Is N5 worth buying even it has the same price with G2?
