Play store offers free shipping on devices some times. Like with Nexus 4 they offered free shipping for first 2 days. And Nexus 7 2013, they are still offering free shipping. So that could be beneficial.

Other thing is tax, well it depends on which state you are sending your device to and it varies from 5-12%. But good news is that there are 4 states in US those are sales tax free. So if you can find a forwarder service have warehouse in those states, you will save a lot. So in short, you can save nearly $50 of sales tax and shipping on $349 USD.

About shipping charges + custom duty. Usually that costs near $100 USD. Some forwarder are cheaper but they are unreliable. So you will have to make this decision very wisely. Because I heard lots of bad stories about some provides. Like some forwarder did not sent complete package but kept some goods. Many stories says, they put unnecessary junk in package to make it bigger and heavier so they can charge double-tripple shipping and in same cases as much as 5 times.

You will not have to worry about bank currency conversion charges because it will be handled automatically with current exchange rate + some additional charges. Currently it's 62-63 rs for a USD.
[Nexus 5 General] bigbiceps:
international shipping + customs = 100 $???

i believe thats not true?

because hopshopgo charges 20$ for shipping, not aware of custom duties. ( may be 7 % if im right)
[Nexus 5 General] Durgeshgwal:
Google should launch it in India at the same time. Are they not aware of the vast Indian market?
[Nexus 5 General] sarus_b:
You are right. shipping is not 100 $.

custom duty was hiked to 6 % in this years budget. Earlier it was 2%.

people have imported n4 for 22k from us using hopshopgo when exchange rate was 58.

now exchange rate is 61.27 and will improve due to situation in us.

I think you should wait for official release in india.

should take a while but it will arrive faster than n4.

lg and google should have learned their lesson aftrer seeing its sales in india.

plus there might be revisions in hardware

will it be exclusive on play store ? or it will be available firstly at retail shops? I have to yet to add the card on play store but the thing is, if I add the card, I have to transfer the cash on my friend's sister's account. But if it's gonna be released on shops then I will have to keep the cash. :(
[Nexus 5 General] iamsachin:
I have seen all kinds of speculations till now. Frankly speaking, I am sure nobody knows when it is coming to Play Store. It MIGHT be available at retailers before that. There is no hard rule that Play Store release is compulsory for the retail release to happen.

Gsmarena review is up... :)
[Nexus 5 General] abhi06dua@gmail.com:
Friend of mine spoke to LG customer care. The guy said that as of now they have no info regarding the launch of the device.

He also mentioned that generally they have the relevant information about a particular device 10 days before its launched in the market and as of now there is no word about the Nexus 5 as far as he is concerned.

Seems like no source can be trusted.
[Nexus 5 General] iamsachin:
Source?
[Nexus 5 General] Seadra:
Okay guys, just came back from a retail shop wala. He has confirmed that 22nd is the release date, I asked him can I pre-order? and he was confused so he called a LG distributor person and talked to him for 3 mins , and then told me that the phone will be on your hand if you do the pre-booking. He asked for 2,500 INR for the pre-booking and said the MRP is 29,999 , and this is 100% confirmed. Be it play store or be it LG sales, the phone will be available on or before 22nd of this month.

The only thing which is not confirmed is that where will it be exclusive? will it be play store or local shops. According to me , there is no word from Google on this and from zauba.com we already know that 5,500 pieces have already arrived here in India. So may be LG sales will go firstly. And Google probably will sell nexus 5 , nexus 7'13 and nexus 10 all together on some later date, as this will give LG some time to make profits and then Google comes in the game so that they don't fall short for the stock as most enthusiasts probably would have bought directly from LG.

While i am still awaiting delivery of my Pistons from Merimobiles, can anyone let me know what is the best Player + EQ Combo to bring out the best of the Pistons. Till now, i have not been listening a lot of Music on my N5. But now that i will be getting my Pistons, am planning to start listening to Music on my N5.

I mostly listen to all genres of Music, but i enjoy Songs with more Bass and Beats. So, am Super Excited about getting my Pistons.

From what i have heard a little playing on the stock Google Play Music, with FX Booster selected, i i found it good enough.

Any recommendations on a better choice of Player + EQ.

*** My N5 is Stock and not Rooted.
[Nexus 5 General] Sy1ar:
try Poweramp Music Player
[Nexus 5 General] skarma103:
any music player (thats just ui) + viper4android with convolver enabled and a suitable impulse response according to your headphones will be the best , the convolver really changes the way the beats and bass plays out , i use xb600s over the ear headphones , they sound meh without a DAC but with viper and faux/franco sound mod its pretty close to having your own hardware DAC for output

but alas it needs root
[Nexus 5 General] Sukrith:

It'll convert to current USD price and charge your debit card. I don't know whether SBI debit card works on international payments or not. You'll need to check it out.. No other transaction charges will be levied..

It can take up to a month for the item to be delivered. I usually get mine within 3 weeks though.

While checking the Reviews for Ringke Slim, i found many Negative Reviews that it is very very tight, very difficult to remove and it Does Scratch the Corners of the Nexus 5 and damages it.

So, Ringke Slim is not at all advisable for people who change Covers very often.

Keep this in mind before ordering this Case.

[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
It could be anything.. May be a faulty charger or a faulty cable or a hardware issue.. Use a different charger and cable and see if it helps? If not, factory reset your nexus 5 and see if it helps? if it doesn't it's most probably a hardware issue on your device.

Um, i don't know for sure :/ Do you guys observe fingerprints on the back? I had ringke fusion written on the side of case though.
[Nexus 5 General] bliizzz:
Fingerprints are okay and can be wiped off.

Did you remove the protective film from the inside?
[Nexus 5 General] swat4samp:
Of course i removed both inside and outside. Or maybe because of my OCD, i'm feeling that way :p Kinda stupid but there isn't any other sheet to remove after u remove from front and back right?

Just received my Ringke Fusion as well... Its Amazing...Crystal Clear after removing both the Wraps. Some Pics below...The other Case is the Cruzerlite Bugdroid which i have been using till now.

One complaint i have with the Ringke Fusion is that the Corner Lip where the Phone meets the Case is not at a height. I feel the screen of N5 and the Case Corner are at the same level. It might be because i have the Glass Screen Protector which might have increased the Phone's hright by a bit. Not sure.
