Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 

got email this morning confirming they have the n9 64gb in stock at www.handtec.co.uk

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 

I was at Vodaworld on Wed 26th for the MyBroadband 2011 conference, where 2 N9s were given away by lucky draw (and I wasn't lucky :-().

But, the Nokia shop there has Black N9s in stock, selling for R5699 (R100 more than E7 I think) incl 14% VAT. That is approx $730 (or about $650 excl VAT). I didn't check, but since the Navifirm list only listed 16GB models for ZA, I assumed it was the 16GB one.

Apparently (according to the MC of the My Broadband 2011 conference, who incidentally said he was using an N9) Vodacom is launching the N9 soon (ie within a week or two).

8ta is offering the N9 on their site, and according to twitter they have stock. But, it is really expensive, free on Contract 7 (R700pm), or R2500 pay-in on Contract 2 (R130pm), where N8 seems to be free on Contract 2!

My current contract is Vodacom Everyday Off-peak, so if I want to take N9 it will probably be quite a pay-in I think, whereas N8 is just an extra R15pm for 24 months.

Well after reading quite a few posts in this thread i seem to realize that the cheapest prices for the 64GB version seem to be in dubai.

I have a friend that's told me that the Black N9 64GB is currently selling at 2349 AED(around £397 or $639 USD) in stores in dubai while the Blue 64GB is going for around 2200 AED.

The prices seem really tempting to me to actually pick one up but i would like to know if the models sold in dubai are made in china or made in finland??
.
Going through some posts in TMO i realize that the ones made in china seem to have all the screen issues & bad reception issues.. :(

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 

There was an address issue with my handtec order and I had reason to call them up. The guy on the phone said 'they are definitely here in stock, I saw them this morning'....

Winner :)

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 

Hugh, I followed your suite. I cancelled the mobilefun and expansys orders and went for the 64gb from Handtec. A big thanks for the tip!

It will be interesting to see where they sourced the devices from; Finland or China. I expect you'll know before me.

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 

Glad to be of help.

A week ago, I was sure I was going to stick with my n900 for a long time to come, but the more I watched the videos, the more I thought about the fact that this phone is something special, and the more fed up with the 256mb of ram in my n900, the more I thought 'sod it - only money, I can always make some more'

Time will tell if I can manage without a hwkd... If I can't it will make a good gift for my gf, or perhaps I'll sell it.

I went for the cheap delivery, so perhaps yours will arrive before me?

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 

i also ordered from Negri on Monday, received it last night, and its the 16gb black Singapore model. It seems Negri's source of phones is coming from Singapore, and the 16gb one's don't have branding but the 64gb ones do.

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 

It looks like they are now out of stock again, but they've kept the page up so presumably they are ordering more.

A popular item it seems. Who would have thought it? :D

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 

I would not recommend welectronics.com at this point, since supposedly I ordered a 64GB N9 on Tuesday, had it overnighted, and now it's Friday and I have no N9. I ordered from Negri, ground shipping on Monday night, and FedEx said it would arrive on Tuesday, Oct 31st. I spoke with Luis and he just called me saying that UPS lost some of his packages and he will be getting more N9 64 GB variants this weekend. I should get my package on Tuesday, but if this was what was going to happen, why did I not just get both N9s from Negri?

I'm probably just bitter about this, since my N900's wifi adapter died, and Nokia took forever to give me my phone, and when I bought my Mac Pro the same thing happened with FedEx. However, it should not have taken 3 days for this to have been "resolved". After all, I was raping the refresh button on the UPS tracking site. If I get my phone Tuesday, I will recommend welectronics. So far, I've had no problems with negrielectronics.

Maybe I'm just sour

Edit: If my 64GB is not branded from Starhub, from either negri, or welectronics, I will recommend both.

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 

Hurrah! My N9 64Gb shipped from Handtec today. Arrives on Monday.

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 

Alright so it's available in Pakistan aswell:

http://symbios.pk/nokia-c166/nokia-n...11-in-pakistan

PKR 59,499 or about USD 685

That includes delivery, and (surprisingly) it's casd-on-delivery

I haven't gone around to any of the physical retailers in the city yet, who should have this for about $10 less or so I guess.

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 

Same here, gonna be a looong weekend, and clocks change too!

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 

Ditto.
I'm now looking forward to going in to work on Monday ... that's unusual!

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 

For Info: Just received an N9 from Handtec, these are made in Finland.

One of the quick-start guides is in German, so I am assuming that is where they sourced them from.

They've also packaged the item with a Euro-to-GB power adapter.

:cool:

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 

Has anybody successfully gotten an N9 from clickok.se? Do you know whether Made in Finland or China?

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 

Mine ships on Monday from Handtec, just as promised. Next working day. Yeah, very long weekend. And many months.

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 

As Sweden is an official N9 country and also a neighbour of Finland I'd be VERY surprised if not all N9:s sold by clickok.se are made in Finland. Not that I think it matters though as they're probably made of the same parts anyway.

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 

Will get mine Monday/Tuesday so will let you know then.

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 

How much does a black 16gb actually cost from handtec?
Can't seem to find a USD price on it.

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 

Handtec seems like the way to go. Finnish made, decent price, and quick shipping.

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 

anyone got N9 in Israel? i saw few shops who started to sell it, but i think they selling 16 gb for more than 1000$ =\

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 

does anyone know how to get the APN info from the phone? t-mobile is having problems getting my network working

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 

nevermind, i thought their support meant something technical

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 

The shops that will be selling it in Israel are probably importing it, especially if they're selling it for prices like 4000 NIS. My N9 (I'm in the US) did not ship with a Hebrew keyboard available to install, I had to Google for one and install it separately, it required rooting the phone to extract to the proper locations, etc.

In other words, I would find it interesting if the shops in Israel that are selling it are selling it with Hebrew input, let alone a Hebrew OS. I do remember that there are supposed to be 16 GB N9's officially available for sale in Israel, I just figure that Nokia hasn't gotten around to shipping them to Israel yet.

Good job we don't have a mail room :)

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing

looks like i can't afford the n9 until sometime next year :(

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 

A note for the people who purchased their N9 from Handtec:

The product variant is 059J1V4 - RM-696 NDT AUSTRIA BLACK 64GB.

I may be wrong but the current/latest firmware for the 059J1V4 variant is 10.2011.34-1_PR_001 (or DFL61_HARMATTAN_10.2011.34-1_PR_LEGACY_001-OEM1-958_ARM ) which appears to be earlier than the other firmware versions in the wild, so do not be surprised by multiple reboots, freezes etc until the new firmware update arrives.



It now works but various apps still crash quite frequently - I'm hoping it's not a hardware problem but I'll see if others report the same.

Aside from all the issues, it's a nice device.

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 

I've never used IPMart but the 16GB seems to be available for $545.99
http://www.ipmart.com/main/product/N...hp?prod=325528

Prior to getting my device locally, I was considering several options. Since I wanted the 64GB version, I used live chat to ask when they'll have it in stock. They said they'll be getting it when it's available in the market, whatever that means.

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 

Bought the Cyan 16gb version from Negri, shipped from Hong Kong.

I'm supposed to get it tomorrow. Pleasant experience so far.

Couple of questions:

1) Anyone found any physical differences in the Finnish made version and the Chinese made version?

2) Anyone know when the Nokia Play 360 Speaker will be available? Nokia said Q3, we are well into Q4 now!

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 

If it helps (as a guide), the Play 360 is due 30 Nov in UK .

Edit: Amazon UK and Play.com were my sources. :rolleyes:

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 

Caa, thanks for the tip. Mine arrives tomorrow (fingers crossed) so I will look out for those problems.

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 

I also like the idea of the Play360. I don't really need it, but I do want it :p

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 

I'm waiting for it to hit Amazon US, which is selling the Nokia 701, which is NFC-enabled. There's no real reason for it not to be sold in the US; it's not a Symbian vs. Meego vs. WP7 thing, so we might as well wait until it gets nice and cheap.

Re: N9 16/64GB: worldwide availability & pricing
 

Yep. My Handtec device carries the same firmware and I can confirm the system crashes. What release do other people have?
