Mobile syrup reported that some carriers, I don't remember which ones at the moment, are selling them off contract for 499.99. Lol...

it goes by your ip address so you will be auto routed to the correct store unless you go through vpn to go to the us store.

If you guys can't wait you could order from the UK, apparently clove has stock of the Black 16gb already. it costs 332.5gbp though +20 shipping (comes to around $580CAD)
Buy Google Nexus 5

They're very reputable btw even i've ordered from them multiple times in the past

LOL $580? You might as well buy the 32GB I'm getting. I'll wait a few weeks to make $100+.

UK will have different LTE bands

Also that's almost twice the price, I think you might get a better deal on Craigslist

Going back to HK/China next year wondering if I should get the Nexus5 and use during the trip? Will it work or no? Don't care too much about LTE as long as I can use it to make phone calls and go online is good enough.

If you want to pay 2-3X the price for it, go for it

I noticed that a lot of people don't realize that the ONLY place to get a cheap Nexus phone is from Google directly. It is a $500-600 phone. Google is selling it subsidized for $350-$400 in 10 countries, none of which are HK or China. If you go anywhere else, it is still a $500-600 phone.

BTW the N4 was never sold in HK or China by Google directly. It was sold in retail stores for around $3300 for the 16GB version at cheapest ($430)
