Are they already out of stock or there is just none available in my country (Canada)?

I was able to get one about 20 minutes ago. It looks like they sold out here that quickly.

It's quite depressing that a 350$ phone will probably translate to 460€ in Belgium and the Netherlands. That's 626$ if you use the official exchange course between euro's and dollars. We don't have phones on Google Play. EDIT: Strike that, it's dropped to 399€, that's still 543$.

How much is the iphone 5s for comparision?

700€ for the 5S and 600€ for the 5C.

Are there any reviews out yet on the echo cancellation? The Nexus 4 suffers from a bug that makes most VOIP apps useless. [1] Even though this should have been fixed by now, I would upgrade to the Nexus 5 if it only fixes this.

Think they're out of stock, I'm in Canada as well and I managed to snag one as soon as they went on sale.

That was fast. I though they said it won't be like for the Nexus 4 which was sold out in something like 30 minutes.

I will wait for the next batch then. Thanks.

"Sorry! Devices on Google Play is not available in your country yet. We're working to bring devices to more countries as quickly as possible. Please check back again soon."

I still don't understand why they only sell this in some EU countries and not others. Friends in the know tell me it's something to do with certification which seems strange inside the EU.

But even if that's the case surely they could just show me the damn page and then tell me they can't ship to my address. That's what Amazon does for some things anyway. At least that way I could look at the damn thing and potentially have it shipped somewhere else.

It's disappointing that they're already sold out, less than an hour after this link was posted. After last year's debacle, I was expecting Google to prepare appropriately for the release.

As an African/Nigerian I am not even allowed to see what it looks like. Talk less of trying to make a purchase [1]. Last Night, I had to lie that I am in the US so I would be allowed to by Remote by 37Signals on my kindle. Quite ridiculous and annoying. http://imgur.com/eS8agor

Icelander here. Apparently Google doesn't like our kind either.
