It's not so straightforward if Google thinks you are not in the US.
That has always been the case, but is not so today. Google Play knows where I am as it offered the Nexus5 in Japanese Yen. Nevertheless I successsfully installed Google Voice just now.
Can you set it up? I've always been able to install the APK, but if you don't already have a GV number, it wants to send an SMS to a real phone number as part of the setup, and that number needed to be American.

#303They have this seemingly new sensor called "Hall Effect". Anyone knows what does it do?
Just FYI, Hall Effect sensors are pretty actually old school[1], simple sensors. The kind of thing that's easy to play with via an Arduino, for example[2].

It's basically a magnetometer aka a digital compass. It's particularly useful when orienting your map the right way.

When I'm logged in on Amazon I get a warning next to the product price that I can't ship it to my default location.
Hmm, I just double-checked and I don't get that. I'm in Canada. Have two addresses registered, both Canadian. For example, [1] is appears to be available, and also claims to have free shipping (as do many items listed on amazon.com eve though the free shipping is US only). When I add it to my cart, proceed to checkout, and choose an address though, it lets me know about the "slight problem" with my order... the fact…

You can install it from Play. It's straightforward. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.and...

Right, if Google doesn't think you are in the US, you won't be able to download Voice from Play. Which is really annoying if you actually are in the US...
I had to deal with this problem earlier this month, and the answer here fixed the issue for me: http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/44677/how-to-chan...

I am currently on this plan (on a Nexus 4), and it works quite well for me. There's also a 100 minutes talk time limit on the plan, with 10C per minute for extra talk time.
Hmm looking at my recent statements, I'm always between like 150 and 375 minutes, so even with the 10c per minute extra, I'd never be looking at more than $60/month at worst. I'm assuming nights and weekends still don't count as minutes on this plan?
Everything counts, but you can be strategic about usage - dialing via Google Voice from a laptop keeps me well under 100.

#309Hey Google, I don't want to buy your phone yet, but let me see the damn thing at least!

You can use a proxy http://6.hidemyass.com/ip-1/encoded/czovL3BsYXkuZ29vZ2xlLmNv... . I'm in south america and they also disallow it here
Wow, and it's sold out already.
Not surprising. Nexus 4 sales totaled somewhere between 3-4 million.
I wonder why they don't/can't order enough.
