The Nexus One was launched today and is initially available in 4 countries - the US, UK, Singapore and Hong Kong. Orders shipped outside the US are still billed in US dollars but subject to tax and shipping. For those outside the US wondering how much they will have to pay for the phone it breaks down like this:
* Nexus One Phone $529.99
* AC Adaptor $19.99
* Shipping (DHL International) $29.65
Duties and taxes will be payable to the courier on receipt of order:
* Hong Kong: no VAT or GST!
* Singapore: 7% Goods and Services Tax on the Cost, Insurance & Freight
* United Kingdom: 17.5% VAT on the total cost of order including all shipping costs and insurance.
Google have said that there will be a subsidised version of the Nexus One available in Europe through Vodafone this spring.
