Best place to buy if you want off contract/not in US

---

Hey guys, first I want to thank everyone on these forums for making it possible for me to root 3 devices so far and the awesome roms/kernels shared here. Here is my small contribution!


Best place to order Galaxy Nexus for international users (im Australian) so far is:

handtec [dot] co [dot] uk

It is unlocked, pentaband version (no LTE).

It is a reasonable GBP$419, which translates to EUR$418 or USD$661

Postage by courier internationally is GBP$25.


I've preordered from here, if you find a better offer let me know! (they will reduce the price through pricematching).

Cheers!

Erm, unless you're a company and can claim VAT back, you'll be paying £500 for that phone, not £419...

He doesn't live in the u.k and therefore doesn't have to pay VAT.

If you live in EU and you buy a item from another EU country then you will pay VAT.
If you have a company with valid EU VAT number and buy a item from another EU country then you don't pay VAT.

And 419GBP is ~487EUR (not 418).

I wish I could order it, but I know I would end up paying half it's price in taxes anyways.

Handtec have always been great for me - usually quite a bit cheaper thanks Clove as well.

Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium

Yep I ordered mine from Handtec within hours of them putting it on the site, can't wait!

And no you don't pay VAT if you're not a UK citizen

i prefer clove co uk
because for extra 20 pound you get Smartphone Pre-Shipping Testing Service
