According to several retailers here in Lebanon, we won't be seeing the Nexus 5 here for months
I'm seriously considering shipping it in from the US by DHL...

The specs are excellent, despite the small battery.

Watch out for additional charges for communications devices.

Did you ask LG Lebanon?
hi, can someone please help me out on how to order an item online by DHL or whatever ( because of the nexus 5 ) any answer would be appreciated, thank you.
@friend.evil check the threads containing the keyword "borderlinx"
you open a free account, a mailbox gets created for you in the US, you ship to it, then it gets shipped to your address in Lebanon.
beware, shipping fees are exaggerated, especially customs fee.
LG Lebanon will bring the Nexus 5 to Lebanon by the end of December.
Did anyone buy this phone ? I want to know how much did it cost to ship it here.
Amhaz released the 16 GB version for 640$ and the 32 GB version for 745$.
Definitely buying it from abroad.

Isn't the point of this phone is to be cheaper than other flagships but similar in performance ?
Guys guys! Relax!
This is ALWAYS normal in here! First when things get released they come extremely expensive but will get cheaper day after another until reaching some logical values!
I guess the nexus 5 will end up around 450 to 500 for the 16gb and 500 to 550 for the 32gb!
Better wait for S5 and HTC M8 in 3 months

But it is not always the case!

LG G2 has been in Lebanon for 2 months and its price is still the same.

HTC One has been in Lebanon for more than 6 months and its price (with warranty) still exceeds the 700$ although several phones with better specs are now available for cheaper prices!

It is really frustrating!
This reminds me of the Kia Picanto.

Kia Picanto - Budget Car
Lebanese Dealer: The Kia Picanto is a budget car, so it's going to be popular with the masses due to its price, let's double it.
Lebanese Client: Ok I pay.

Nexus 5, Nexus 7 - Budget Phone/Tablet
Lebanese Dealer: These Nexus' are budget devices, so they are going to be sought after due to their price, let's double it.
Lebanese Client: Ok I pay. (or maybe this time no?)

I called LG Lebanon today and they thod me that Nexus 5 16 GB will arrive to Lebanon in the first 2 weeks of december and it can already be pre-ordered for 629$ (+18 months warranty). The lady also said that the 32 GB model "could" arrive.
14 days later
Called the deliver guy and he said prices have fallen today:
Nexus 5 32GB is now 620$ instead of 710$
You can call him 70686406
Now I don't know if I take a N5 or S4!!
@vegetaleb, who is this delivery guy?
i didn't understand.

Thanks
