I just got a new Tesco/O2 sim contract which supports 4g

I have a Nexus 4 and fancy a Nexus 5 4G

I want White and I figure I might as wellhave 32gb since you cant expand later

Nexus 5 32gb for £266 incl VAT incl Delivery which was Uber Quick - (£230 for 16gb)

Despite them quoting D820 North American spec in the ad, they actually sent me D821 UK/Rest of The World 4G Version

Get in!!!!
When will the "Edit" and "Quote" button get fixed on the mobile web interface?

    I got mine from a website called Clove Technology, delivery is £5 I think.

    Could also check the play store as well.

    Don't say that, yesterday he said he'd ordered one from a Hong Kong company but looked like it was a USA version

    Presumably you cancelled that order then?

    Ironically that one arrived today (oober quick - weren't expecting it for at least another week - hence i ordered another one yesterday) - the guy said I can return it for a full refund but can i tell him the serial number on the box

    I opened the bottom of the parcel only to see the serial number and there, right next to the serial number i saw "D821" they only done gone and sent me the European Version

    :rotfl: :T

    but i already ordered another one yesterday for £185 (£20 more) :eek:

    so now I am trying to halt that one , or it looks like that one is going back

    bottom line is I definitely found the cheapest Nexus 5 on the market at £265 delivered

    I actually think this maybe the cheapest Nexus 5:

    Shipping to the UK is $12, so by my calculation, this works out at GBP 204. (This is for the 16GB International version)

    Shipping from the USA can often lead to import VAT being levied by HMRC on arrival.

    You would need to add 20% to your total price if the VAT is demanded on arrival, and then £8 admin fee to Royal Mail (more if it's a courier like DHL).

    Makes it around £250...

    Ahh, good point, I was forgetting about that.

    I just ordered one to my friends address in the US, to pickup when I'm there later this month. For people shipping to the UK it probably isn't such a great deal then.
