That's just device cost. You forgot to factor in sales tax and shipping as well. In the US, all prices are quoted before tax. In total you're looking at about $330 for the 8GB version and $375-380 for the 16GB one.

hey bro do you have any idea how do they calculate sales tax in US?

I am living in UK now, it is retailing at google play stall at £239/279 respectively (VAT included, UK tax whooping of 25% VAT)
I have friend flying to the states in Dec, wondering if it's better to ask to buy in the states instead..

on a side note:
Nexus 7 16g / 32 g / LTE is £159 / 199 / 239 respectively
Nexus 10 16GB / 32GB is £319 / 389

Crazy expensive UK price..

Our sales tax is dependent on the state. Over in Nebraska it's about 6-7% with a possible extra 2% more of the total sales value for an item including other service charges like shipping.

So assuming I'm getting a $200 phone and having it shipped to me with a $15 shipping charge. i'm paying

($200+$15) x 106/100 ~ $227

u can't calculate like that, this is business, when they fail, who feed them ? before they come out I series, they nearly gone, now they make it with bunch of supporter, why not make profit out of it, u not buying a phone only, u buying brand also .....

same go to samsung, sony, htc and bla ......

when one day, u into business and hopefully u can come out something good, no competition and u selling at below market prices ...

most of the adapter now come along with 110V~230V, auto switching, should not be any issue.

but just check before purchase, to play safe.

Based on news from LG Indonesia, they said Nexus 4 is confirmed to be arriving there by the end of November. If Indonesia gets it by then why not us right? biggrin.gif

Well I'm hoping that we should get it around the same time too. If the price isn't like the Nexus 7 sold here which has similar price like its UK counterpart, it's definitely gonna be a hotcake. Anyway, I'm just wondering if anybody is using NAS storage to complement their smartphones here. 16GB Nexus 4 is somewhat enough if you don't stock it up with music & videos. Since these can be streamed via a NAS I think it's still pretty much a good choice.

I bought nexus 7s in us to sell here. In LA, State tax abt 9% so 250+25+8(e-waste tax) x 3.1 =rm877. Not much profit since local price is rm950
