Ok, this is a "I am pissed thread"
Pissed because Google has decided that the USA, UK, Australia and a bunch of other countries is "the world" and will not ship to other countries that are not on that map. Additionally, content like movies, books, magazines and music on the play store is out of bounds for the "off the map countries"
Yes, arguments are made that the cost of shipping, security e.t.c e.t.c BUT why can they not use Google offices to ship devices?
Most countries have Google offices, mine included, and they could as easily ship there.
I actually called my local Google office to ask them how I could get my hands on that sweet hunk of glass but they apparently don't deal with devices. Should this not be a resource that Google employs to push their devices to 3rd world countries and emerging markets?
On a side note, the chic that handled my call did not know what a nexus is, or that a new one had been released.
All in all, if you are one of the higher ups in Google and you are reading this, I pray that one day you will ship worldwide, I pray that I shall be able to purchase the next Iron Man movie, or perhaps one of Stephen King's wondrous books . Maybe even have the next nexus shipped to my house.
That would be really opening up the playground
