For those who have brought a Nexus One in the UK from the google site, how much was it in total when you went to check out (phone + delivery + any tax)? I presume it was in dollars. What was the converted price in GBP shown on the credit card statement?

Will there be an additional import tax when you recieve the phone, is it just import tax or is import tax and VAT?

Many Thanks

[Nexus One General] wywywywy:
£410 is pretty good if you look at the price of Milestone, HD2 or even Hero in the UK.
[Nexus One General] duncan888:
thanks, shall i click buy.....
[Nexus One General] Bumble-Bee:
Doo it !!

like others have said look at the prose of smart-phones in the uk and you can have a "super-phone", also the iphone is still £450 for the 3gs 16gb !!!
[Nexus One General] duncan888:
Just wondering when its avaliable on Vodafone in a few weeks will it be shipped from the UK instead...

Also it's on Devicewires website now, but no price or date.
[Nexus One General] mirox3m:
The same for expansys.
[Nexus One General] duncan888:
Can you let us know when you recieve your phone and total up the complete cost.

Thanks

Ordered from UK

Placed order last night at around 12:02am minus the optional UK adapter and engraving. Got order confirmation email straight away and noticed £338.34 charged to my CC this morning. Now for the VAT charge when it arrives...
[Nexus One General] Bumble-Bee:
Well say you get hit with both 17.5%(VAT) + 6%(Import) taxes and they set the phones value as £338.34 + 17.5% (£59.20) + 6% (20.30) you will pay a grand total off £417. So say you get charged £420

so in UK the

NexusOne :-

Nexus One = £420 (at worst you may not get taxed)

In comparison to :-

Iphone 3GS 16GB = £450 (from O2)

HTC Hero = £356 (from amozon.co.uk)

HTC HD2 = £513 (from amazon.co.uk)

Hope This Helps
[Nexus One General] Bumble-Bee:
One thig is, if you dont get charged any tax (possible - as iv imported a couple of things cameras etc. that dint get taxed ) the nexus one will be less than the HTC Hero ...... wich would be very very cool :cool::cool::eek:
[Nexus One General] stewart1988:
I was told we don't pay the 6% import tax on mobile phones?

And they will only add import tax on the charger if you ordered one.

But looking on here it says Mobile phones (excluding built in GPS, TV) - Free - Goods are liable to VAT on importation at the standard rate (17.5 %).

http://customs.hmrc.gov.uk/channels...ent&id=HMCE_PROD_009989&propertyType=document

Still cheaper than most unlocked phones in the UK! Was going to get a milestone but this is cheaper :)

Anyone know how long it will take once you get a DHL tracking number and shipping notification? Got my notification at 4am GMT.
[Nexus One General] firedup:
Update: someone on another thread thinks if you ordered in the UK yesterday it should arrive tomorrow (7th)!! Cool! Wonder who will be first in the UK to receive it? Exciting! Although I'm prepared to be dissapoknted compared to the iPhone as I was with the Diamond, HD2 and Hero.....well we'll see .

[Nexus One General] firedup:
Good question. Last time I ordered something for work I got no notification, they just held it in customs and I had to call to find out why it was delayed and then pay over the phone before customs would even release it! Hope this isn't the case this time...

[Nexus One General] Lord_alias:
will it work out of the box ?

^ This is what i need to know, i mean if it will work out of the box then i will order within minutes but i have imported phones in the past only to find locked configs that screw with networks and installs :(

So if anyone could confirm that it will behave out of the box with maybe a vodafone sim ?That would be awesome and i would order tonight :D i have asked google help pages and forums but they wont help :S

[Nexus One General] stewart1988:

It's only for people in America that this phone doesn't work on all networks!

Can someone explain to me why American networks don't just use the same bands/network like most of Europe? :s

I recently purchased a lens for my canon £300, i was charged £71 for customs and UPS also tooks a cut, so expect the duty of about £80 inc DHL charge 17.5% and 6.5%.

Google should have a warehouse in the UK, so pay for in USD and ships from UK - no tax

On another note, i always found the call qulity on HTC's to be poor compared to nokia's.. i got a t-mobile pulse to see how android is, so far very impressed even on a cheap phone it works OK and call qulity is Excellent.

I would very much like the Nexus, seems to have good hardware, partnerd with android 2.1, should give the iphone a run for is money
[Nexus One General] satchef1:
And how do Google get the phones to that warehouse without incurring tax? :rolleyes:
[Nexus One General] tallen3:

From reading the rules I was under the impression there is no duty charged on Mobile Phones only vat. Can anyone confirm that?

So far i have recived many items from USA and Hong Knog, each time I or the wife was home to accept the parcell, they also demanded cash, UPS, DHL, FEDEX.. parcell force just leave a card to collect (they dont trust drivers with cash, i think).
[Nexus One General] tigger80:
well if thats the case, its news to me...

Once a parcell arrived, they wanted £450 in VAT (canon 5D Mk2 from HK), i dont normally keep this much cash at home, so the driver took it back to the depot, and i collected it from there and paid vat in cash.
[Nexus One General] stewart1988:
I've had a few stuff from the US and been delivered from Royal Mail and all the parcels I've have a note in the door about picking it up and paying. Once I even opened it because I was expecting him to have the parcel and he just handed me a note with the fee on it lol.

My dad said he got a parcel from UPS and when he answered the door they handed him some paperwork and had to go and pick it up and pay.
[Nexus One General] midnightez:
For those wanting to order this; you may want to wait until the European store or Vodafone's offer is online as it seems the European Nexus One does have multitouch.
[Nexus One General] stewart1988:
Its got nothing to do with the hardware! The hardware will be the same!

Its just the software which we could just use the EU rom or the many custom ROMs that are sure to come once they release the 2.1 source!

Dont worry and just order its gonna be about the same price anyway...

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] zenabi90:
Hey there.

I'm running Manila 2.5 (don't know if there's anything else you have to know..just ask :P) on my HTC HD and I would like to use the build in music player. Windows Media player is working fine, but the standard one seems to have troubles finding the songs. It shows the songs with a length of 0:00. Meaning, it will skip all songs until it reaches the last one and then stop. After a soft reset everything is working fine until I reconnect it to the PC. Even if I don't change anything in the Musik folder.

I organized my songs like this: Storage Card/Music/Artist/Album/Song.mp3

At least most of them.

Anyone with the same problem or a way to solve this?

Thanks guys!
[HD2 General] rezaulkabir:
Hi, This is my First Post to XDA. After using TP2 for 2 months, I just got my new HD2. Its a great piece of Hardware but I immediately notice following things:

1. The Standard Task Manager that used to sit at Top Right Corner is no longer there.

2. All Settings->Personal->Buttons does not have any Button Listed. So, I cannot assign a Task Manager to Hardware Key.

After investigating, I could find that the Task Manager that find from "Settings"->"Other"->"Task Manager" is located in \windows\taskmgr.exe

This is not a Bad Task Manager but I needed to assign this to a Hardware Key.

Following Registry entries will allow you to bring up the "taskmgr.exe" when you perform a Long Press to Send Key (Left Most Hardware Key on HD2):

Go to in registry:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\

Create a new Key: Keys

Inside "Keys" create another Key: 40C6

Inside "40C6" create following Registry values:

1. Name= Name value= Send key(Hold) type=string

2. Name= Icon value= \windows\SendKeyIcon.exe, 0 Type=string

3. Name= Flags value= 0 Type=dword

4. Name= default value=\windows\taskmgr.exe Type=string

Now restart. This is working great for me.
[HD2 General] snapworx:
or just use Duttys Task Manager for Leo which adds back the task manager to the top right of home screen and very nice it is too
[HD2 General] rezaulkabir:
I used Dutty as well. It gives back the Lost Task Manager from TP2. However, I also need a ATL-TAB type task switcher.

A much simpler way to run something from a long press on the send key is to make a shortcut to the app and rename it to "long_send". Then, copy it to the windows folder.

Does anyone know how to make this work on a bluetooth headset?

I'm trying to get cybertron Voice Commander to fire up on a long press of the send button on my bluetooth headset.

I've put a link to the app in /windows and named it long_send. The send key on my HD2 opens the app but the headset key doesn't?

Any idea why?

Regards

Clive
[HD2 General] Arabezar:
That is great!

Any other shortcuts for at least one of the HD2 keys (Home, Back, Win)? ;)
[HD2 General] theciscokid:
Since I just ran into a problem with the long_send way of doing things, I thought I would add what I encountered.

I have just bought pocketshield, and wanted to have a task manager on a long send key function. Changing copying a shortcut to \windows and renaming it long_send worked great, until I power cycled. At that point the long_send disappeared, and I had to redo the shortcut trick.

I figured something was deleting it, so I used total commander to change the shortcut properties to a system read only file. This worked for the long_send function, but it broke my task manager... :(

So, I deleted the long_send shortcut, rebooted, and the task manager worked again, so it seems there is a conflict. I ended up using the registry hack from the first post to get it working.

Cheers!
[HD2 General] pckshd:
An easier approach... You can assign any volume key long-press to the task manager(or to any program), with Volumex software

Volume keys are easier to reach as they are always next to your thumb(left hand) or next to your index (right hand). Especially on the HD2 which is big and HW keys too far below...

Hello,

How to change the function to the button "Back" HTC HD2?

Merci
[HD2 General] monka123@hotmail.com:
Well, I wonder how HTC could miss this point about assigning buttons and bluetooth stuff as flixibility is probably the most important thing that wm users want.

For me, I have tried the long_send.lnk trick with MSVC, which works , but I can't receive call with send button. Now my main problem is the call button on my headset that when I long press it, it doesn't start any application, but after I install Cyberon VSD, it starts. There should be somewhere that we can configure the file location in which this long press function triggers, but still can't find it. I even can't find the Cyberon exe files.

Any idea, guys? Thanks in advance..

[Touch HD General] gigaboss:
Hello everyone!

I need a piece of advice. I want to replace my Blackstone, to buy a new phone and I'm hesitating! If I was to buy a WM device, I would surely buy the Leo, since it appears to me that it's the best one, what's more, it will have an official upgrade to WM 7!

But I'm wavering because I saw pictures of the Sony X10 which seems also very nice. Both of them have capacitive screens, but won't be multitouch till they get their upgrade (to WM7 for Leo and to Android 2.0 for X10), they both have snapdragon, but none of them have an AMOLED screen.

So the question is, if I'm used to WM, will I like Android? Are there enough applications? Games? etc

Another question also, is the HD2 like the HD? I mean, do they have great hardware but no drivers to use it?

Thank you for your answers!
[Touch HD General] band27:
I think this is again, a bit of apples and oranges comparison because of the OS. You have thrown in though some of the points I would question as well. The biggest point was with the WM7 coming through the pipes and whether Android and the X10's new features are enough to bring you across.

Again for me, I'm still more excited about the HD2 because in a way, it's like buying two different phones in one. In the sense, you are getting the best of today's 6.5 right now and since it's upgradable to WM7, it will feel like a completely new phone again by the end of the year. Keep in mind as well the HD2 is good to go now with HDSPL and cooked roms. The X10 hasn't even made it out of the gate yet.

At this point, those who chose the X10 are all wishing they went the HD2 route because by then, the X10 has become boring now. All phones slowly get boring as we all went the latest stuff when it comes out. THE HD2 Gives you that.....Now and Later.

Hope this helped...;)
