Google launched its own Android handset Nexus in Las Vegas a day before CES 2010. But for us Indians it will always be a pain here in India (Mostly Tech Freaks!) to get hands on the Smart Phone after waiting pathetic amount of months or even years (if not). BTW the Nexus handset is only availabe in four countries the US, UK, Hong Kong and Singapore. While Surfing Online I came across a suggestion by gamaze. You will incur some extra shipping costs but if you really can’t wait, here’s what to to:
1. Download and install the free Hotspot Shield software. This will protect your location and IP address so that Google will allow you to access their phone store order pages.
2. Sign up for a US based shipping address at MyUSABox. Their standard service costs $5 per package and they take the charge for your first package on registration.
3. Sign up for a Google Checkout account. If you already have a Google or Gmail account, you can add that easily through your Google account settings. Note that you can use any international shipping address and credit card for this purpose, it does not have to be the MyUSABox address you just signed up for.
4. Order the $530 unlocked version of the phone from the Google Phone Store. Make sure you add the MyUSAbox shipping address and Google Account billing address to the order.
5. Wait for your Nexus One to arrive to MyUSABox. You should get notified by email as soon as it arrives.
5. Log in to MyUSABox and forward your box to your home address, it should arrive within a few days.
