One common response to the news that the Nexus One won’t be available in Australia is to suggest importing it (via eBay, travelling or handy overseas pals). While the Nexus One itself doesn’t have too many obvious roadblocks, there’s a lot to consider before buying a phone from outside Australia.
Over at Gizmodo, Nick’s done a comprehensive roundup of issues to think about which is well worth a read. It covers the obvious issues (network lock-in, frequencies covered and warranties) as well as some you may not have thought about (minimal English-language manuals and what Customs will have to say about it). Check it out, and share your own phone import experiences in the comments.
