I'm currently figuring out the best way to get my phone. I can buy it straight up from Google, but since they ship with DHL who charges 70 CAD cash-on-delivery, I can't get it shipped to my apartment. I work during the day, and there is no guarantee I can get the item shipped during the weekend when I am home. Further, the total cost of the phone ends up being around 650 CAD, meaning you pay around 100 for shipping. Not cool, IMO. Kijiji and Craigslist all turned up empty in the Fort McMurray area, so it seems my best option is to get a used one off eBay. There are a tonne of units that are even more expensive than buying it from Google, so there are only a few worth getting. I prefer getting the "Buy It Now" button because I don't like fussing around with sniping and such. Then you have to whittle it down to just AT&T/Rogers units since I'm with Rogers. Not a lot of choice, so please don't snipe me. :P
If this doesn't work out, maybe I'll have to get a brand new unit. For those keeping track, that's a difference of 150. Maybe it'll be the better choice in the end. I still have a bit of time to make my decision.
I wonder what this means for my iPhone app.
