Re: [REQUEST] Community purchase plan for the Nokia N9
 

Do you know if this source in Australia is having to buy the 1 month SIM or contract - which is easily canceled?

That's something that a source here at TMO is trying to overcome. The price isn't that bad on the 16gb, the 64gb price wasn't that bad either. Just that the stock might not be that high as of yet.

Re: [REQUEST] Community purchase plan for the Nokia N9
 

yes, well it seems to be a lot to ask of a person in the first place. the 16GB one seems readily available. for a premium anyhow. I will continue my search though, and continue to inform.

Re: [REQUEST] Community purchase plan for the Nokia N9
 

Nope, he didn't have this issue.

Re: [REQUEST] Community purchase plan for the Nokia N9
 

Errr, actually, I can get 16GB cyan for ya all in Malaysia & ship it. Just that some are concerned about return policy and of course whether you can trust a complete stranger(me,lol). I can charge....(thinking) USD585 for the device.
Shipping is costly, around USD80 if DHL. Total, USD665, NOT including whatever customs tax your country charge. My profit? Maybe 1 big Mac if I'm lucky.

64GB sorry, 2nd batch havent reach, I havent even got mine yet. The 16GB not enuf to store vids .

Re: [REQUEST] Community purchase plan for the Nokia N9
 

what was the final USD price anyway?

Re: [REQUEST] Community purchase plan for the Nokia N9
 

$908, shipped, insured, and at my door with signature confirmation.

Re: [REQUEST] Community purchase plan for the Nokia N9
 

So with insurance, whymobile.com is around 842USD. I spoke with someone on the phone a few times about the order. So it looks as if it is orderable from them and he claims to have stock. I haven't imported a phone in a while, but it seems that if you opt for insurance that they will declare full value to customs. I am unsure if that is an issue here in the US.

Re: [REQUEST] Community purchase plan for the Nokia N9
 

They shipped mine in less than 24 hours after ordering, so I'll let you know how it goes. Still would like to find their return policy in writing but what is done is done. EDIT: found the policy within their mission statement page and they do accept returns.

Re: [REQUEST] Community purchase plan for the Nokia N9
 

I haven't bought from that site, and I don't plan to... Any shop that lets you add a phone to your shopping cart and start checking out without bothering to tell you (or let you select) the colour or 16gb vs 64gb version cannot be doing things correctly, even if they aren't a scam website.

Just seems odd that the description lists the different possibilities ( storage space but not colour, actually) but all you can do is add the phone. Specifically, it says "16gb or 64gb" ... which one is the price referring to ? If it was Amazon or eBay the size/colour might be in the subject heading, but in this case there's nothing like that and although the photo is a black phone I'm not going to trust that.

the price was pretty enticing, though =(

Re: [REQUEST] Community purchase plan for the Nokia N9
 

Hello people!

In regards of Mexican N9s I have just found two sellers who are willing to send me some N9, but only in black and 16 version.

However, the prices are very competitive.One of them is offering me the phone for $550 USD plus shipping to my house (I also live in Mexico). The other one offers it for $620. Again, both sellers are offering the black version with 16GB on board,

I'm gonna do a first buy and see how it goes, and see if it's a scammer or something. Will do the deal personally and come back with the results.

hope it goes well, got me very excited :)

Re: [REQUEST] Community purchase plan for the Nokia N9
 

so i ordered it from Negri Electronics today at 812 + 20 for expedited shipping. we shall see how this one goes. Negri seems to have stock of it according to their front page.

Re: [REQUEST] Community purchase plan for the Nokia N9
 

i just posted on another thread, but you can get an addiontal $35 off with the coupon code 'sb35offjkh'. Not sure if your order went through but doesn't hurt saving more money if you can :)

Re: [REQUEST] Community purchase plan for the Nokia N9
 

I posted in the worldwide availability thread, but was told would be better here... Speaking from Montreal, Canada, I have a friend that has one of the cell phone booth things, and I finally managed to convince him to start selling the N9, lol (Apart from myself, apparently nobody knew about that phone :( ) I just got word from him 30 minutes ago with a 820$CAD quote for 64gb, final price. I'm currently at work so I can't call him back to let him know I am screaming of joy, but if everything is true, I am placing my order right after work! I am not sure if anybody else from TMO is in Montreal, as I have never shipped anything so shipping could be delayed...lol. Let me know if you have questions you want me to ask the guy for "worldwide availability"

PS. Phones are coming from Dubai

EDIT: Actually... I texted him, and that price is for 16GB :( But he did tell me that his contact from Dubai told him that prices should be dropping by Wednesday :O So something else to look forward to...yet again

Re: [REQUEST] Community purchase plan for the Nokia N9
 

too bad i missed this, but in light of the amount, i can live with missing the coupon. appreciate the post very much.

Re: [REQUEST] Community purchase plan for the Nokia N9

Okay, here's the deal. There's two options for Australia - I'm working with another member to sort out a possibility in Australia - and there's two options for Dubai.

A long story made incredibly short is that Australia is about 4 days on the West Coast US from shipping date to around 5-7 days on the East Coast US from shipping date. The 16gb versions are a shade over $680 US, and it seems like prices are set to drop to like $675 US in a week or so. The 64gb N9's are starting to show up, but the price is not available to me at this very moment. But the person I'm working with (not sure if he wanted me to say his name or not) is definitely digging down to help us there.

I hate to keep sounding like I'm saying "wait" but that's where we're at. Mobicity is the second option from Australia. The good... they ship fast. The bad... they ask for a lot of information. License, passport, utility bill all scanned and sent to them for fraud purposes. They're currently over $680 as well, but so far has delivered two N9's the US without issue and without us having to pay customs.

Dubai connection has proven to be trustworthy and I'm still securing a lower price. I'm at around 2300 Dirhams, around $636 USD and shipping has cost a solid $40 USD there. Once I get the go ahead, I will either link to a merchant or discuss what we can do and in what quantity. The good news is that the 16gb Cyan and 16gb Magenta are in great supply. The 64gb ones are there, but have proven to be popular - but not to the point of where it's not something we cannot afford - no premiums. The experience on shipping from there has been either as slow as 8 days - long story there - to as quick as 5 days to the midwest US. I'm sure since I'm east coast, it would have been a day quicker for me. The second option for Dubai is that I can arrange for more to be purchased. We need to find a better way to ship money though. He fronted the purchase - he's my "bro" that's there - and then I paid him back. My bank balked at first at the transfer, but the transfer went without a hitch.

Malaysia, Mexico and Singapore have all been offered up by friends, connections or fellow TMO members, but I have not run any dry runs through them.

I don't like how Expansys is making folks pay out of the behind for one. I think they finally dropped below $800 for the 16gb versions...

If you have any questions, I'm free to answer most. I will link to the merchants in a bit - the final pricing and how we can get a lower price is what I'm working on now. It looks positive. 6 phones in the US, 6 out of 6 are in people's hands.

Re: [REQUEST] Community purchase plan for the Nokia N9
 

Well guys, just sent the money to this guy, the final price was $7,500 pesos shipping included which is a surprinsinly low price for what it is.

Will be sent tomorrow morning from México City and will take 1 day to get home.

Will take pics when received and talk to this guy to see if I can do more business for you all.

wish me the best luck :)

Re: [REQUEST] Community purchase plan for the Nokia N9
 

I have a new black 16 GB N9 for sale within the U.S. Hopefully this is a reasonable place to post it.

I was one of the N9Seconds winners (see http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...02#post1053202), and just received this N9 today as my prize. Unfortunately, they didn't give me a choice of model, and I really need more than 16 GB to hold my music collection, so I'm selling this 16 GB one and working on acquiring a 64 GB model for myself.

I am located in the U.S., and I am looking to ship it within the U.S.

For more information, email me at n9forsale@eep.dnsalias.org. I'm at work right now, but later tonight, I'd be happy to provide pictures, etc. for those interested.

Re: [REQUEST] Community purchase plan for the Nokia N9
 

You and Gerbick are awesome! thanks to both of you.

Re: [REQUEST] Community purchase plan for the Nokia N9
 

16GB version is available at mobilecityonline.com for $699. It is a NY based store.

Re: [REQUEST] Community purchase plan for the Nokia N9
 

This may have been mentioned, but how much will they be selling the N9 for (officially) in Mexico, and would they offer it w/out a contract and would that be unlocked? As the US and Canada are the only countries I've been in that I can recall (may not be accurate) doing this 'lock' nonsense I don't know if Mexico is the same.

Re: [REQUEST] Community purchase plan for the Nokia N9
 

let us know!

Re: [REQUEST] Community purchase plan for the Nokia N9
 

Ok, I've probably just been stupid, but I canceled my Expansys N9 in the hopes that I can get it cheaper somewhere else, hopefully here on my old stomping grounds maemo.org.

Is it worth it to get it $100 - $150 cheaper, knowing that I'd likely have a terrible time returning it halfway around the world if something broke? Expansys is quite expensive, but they're good about returns and they're no-muss-no-fuss, no ugly surprises and no currency conversions.

So, I want a cyan 16GB N9 shipped to western Canada. What can you do for me?

(I'm hoping gerbick can make it fly, 'cause he knows a guy in Dubai, no lie!)

Re: [REQUEST] Community purchase plan for the Nokia N9
 

Ahnhh, im going crazy with impatience!! I want a 64gb black, dont care from where, dont care about warranties. Ive had an envelope with 900$ cash sitting in my living room for over a month, why doesn't anyone want to take my money?? :'( lol

Re: [REQUEST] Community purchase plan for the Nokia N9
 

Probably because Nokia is filled with incompetent and uncompetitive, comfortably well-paid executives and created policies and deals to make sure you couldn't buy one if you wanted to--probably no matter how much you wanted to spend short of personally traveling around the world to purchase it. This is pathetic and, even with my complaints about their appalling behavior of the past, this is by far the WORST I've ever seen from Nokia. Truly pathetic.

Re: [REQUEST] Community purchase plan for the Nokia N9
 

I should walk down the banks of the river Thames and pass on your thoughts (which I share).

Re: [REQUEST] Community purchase plan for the Nokia N9
 

How much you willing to pay? :p:p:D
I just did an online quote. DHL charges around MYR285 from Malaysia to Quebec, Canada(I just picked a random location).
http://dct.dhl.com/input.jsp?langId=en&originCCId=MY

So, shipping is around USD90++. Device, USD580 at least. Total : USD675, EXcluding customs tax. Oops, not sure if insurance is included ;)
I checked a couple of days ago, the 16GB cyan has arrived but no 64GB black(2nd batch)

Re: [REQUEST] Community purchase plan for the Nokia N9
 

N9 black 16GB in Italy on Eprice, 669.99 eur

Re: [REQUEST] Community purchase plan for the Nokia N9
 

For USA Shipping only:

i just purchased 2 64GB N9 (black) i should have them tomorrow.

http://www.welectronics.com/gsm/Noki...a_N9-64GB.HTML

the site says $825.

when you call, ask for Luis, and let him know that ceroberts75 sent you and you will get free ground shipping with the price at $815.

i get nothing out of this, just found a source that has been there for a while that actually has 64gb devices.

i will update with another post tomorrow after i recieve the devices as i paid for overnight shipping.

Re: [REQUEST] Community purchase plan for the Nokia N9
 

just got the call back with a tracking number! :)

Re: [REQUEST] Community purchase plan for the Nokia N9
 

Asked the seller to send me a pic after I paid and seems this is the real deal

http://p.twimg.com/AcoAEWBCIAAIu5F.jpg
http://pic.twitter.com/dMuH4q5Q

I have to admit that I was a bit nervous, thinking might be a scam, since it was WAY TOO cheap with free shipping via DHL express.

converting it from mexican pesos would be $535 for the Nokia N9 16GB black with shipping and insurance included.

Got the tracking number and seems it's on its way, and will have it tomorrow here, so happy :)

Still will hold my breath until I have my hands on it. Then will ask for more deals for users here interested. I asked him if he would get more colors and more variatons, and said he might later. Will keep you all posted

Re: [REQUEST] Community purchase plan for the Nokia N9
 

I cancelled my Expansys order for an $800 16GB Cyan N9, so I'm not willing to pay that much. I hope someone can source me that phone from a reputable dealer for under $700 after delivery, duty, taxes, etc.

Re: [REQUEST] Community purchase plan for the Nokia N9
 

Damm it, qole, i really hate your new avatar!!! It's very disturbing being from a person like you.
Sorry for the offtopic :D

Re: [REQUEST] Community purchase plan for the Nokia N9
 

You might be in luck. I'll update you accordingly. Have two options coming up.

Still no updates on the bulk pricing for everybody else, btw. Still working that out.

Re: [REQUEST] Community purchase plan for the Nokia N9
 

Also, I'm not in any real hurry to get an N9, I just want to make sure I get one. I want Maemo's swan song, the "step 5 of 4"....

Re: [REQUEST] Community purchase plan for the Nokia N9
 

That was honestly my real reason for getting one as well. I've gone from the 770 to the N810, to the N900 and now the N9. I had a chance to own the N800, but skipped it.

Re: [REQUEST] Community purchase plan for the Nokia N9
 

Ah yes.. it's like when you go down the stairs and you think there's still another step and you fumble-step ahead. That certainly is the awkward dance people seem to be going through in trying to even OBTAIN an N9 alright. Excellent analogy!

Re: [REQUEST] Community purchase plan for the Nokia N9
 

So looks like Negri Shipped this one! I really have to say that I greatly appreciate gerbicks efforts to get everyone this phone. Hell I may want to do it just so i can have a backup of this gorgeous phone. It should be here tomorrow morning. hopefully.

Re: [REQUEST] Community purchase plan for the Nokia N9
 

I ordered a backup 64GB from Negri after you posted it cuz I'm nervous about the whymobile shipment. I think I may have a problem.

current rationalizations:

- it's a strategic purchase!

- it's my "put-away pair" (sneaker reference).

:D

Re: [REQUEST] Community purchase plan for the Nokia N9
 

one to rock, one to stock.

Re: [REQUEST] Community purchase plan for the Nokia N9
 

Negri has Fedex'd mine. Got a notification 2 hours ago.
