thing iiiiis... it says 6.5% may apply to SOME items in your order, which makes me think it's either the phone or the charger, but not both. I'm hoping it's just the charger. Maybe I'll wait a week and hope someone that has bought will post here and let us know the complete cost including all this malarky.

I didn't include the adapter as you can get one of those in the UK for under

Good point about the charger. Shipping might be cheaper though....
Urgh. I wish there was some firm information on when they'll open a UK shop. That way I'll make a decision based on my impatience.
Or maybe people'll be selling them on eBay who'll tick the 'gift' box for me

Thx for the info
I'm meeting someone from the UK within 2 weeks, just hope it'll get there in time!
Dont forget that in the USA you still need to add state and sometimes local taxes onto your order.
California which is the highest is on or just over 10%.
The taxes depend on your state.
So $529 will never be the base price, even in the USA.
And there is no way that the N1 will be

Hi.. I live in India. I plan to get an unlocked Nexus One thru my friend who's in Europe. I heard about the Nexus One not functioning with AT&T 3G in the US and so was a bit concerned. I did read your post but I'd like to clear my doubts once again, at the risk of seeming stupid, before I actually ask my friend to buy one for me. Better safe than sorry!
We have state owned telecom companies who have been allocated spectrum and currently running the 3G service in the range of 2100MHz-2110MHz downlink. After many delays the 3G spectrum auctions(for the private telecom service providers) in India will finally be conducted in Feb'10. Let me quote from the India 3G auction guidelines doc- "The bidders can bid for one block of 2 * 5MHz each for 3G telecom services in the 2.1 GHz band (2110MHz-2170MHz for downlink and 1920MHz-1980MHz for uplink) in a telecom service area". Basically the overall 3G spectrum range available in India is between 2100MHz-2170MHz downlink.
My question is if I do get the Nexus One unlocked from Europe now will it work on State owned and/or private telecom providers who will start their 3G services later in the year?
